4. Acquisitions

First Sensor AG

In March 2020, we acquired approximately 72% of the outstanding shares of First Sensor AG (“First Sensor”), a provider of sensing solutions based in Germany, for €209 million in cash (equivalent to $232 million). As a result of the transaction, we recognized a noncontrolling interest with a fair value of €96 million (equivalent to $107 million) as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest for First Sensor common shares that were not acquired was determined using the stated price in the Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement (“DPLTA”) which is considered

to be a level 2 observable input under the fair value hierarchy. The First Sensor business has been reported as part of our Transportation Solutions segment from the date of acquisition.

In April 2020, we and First Sensor entered into a DPLTA which will become effective following consenting resolution of the shareholders’ meeting of First Sensor and subsequent registration in the commercial register of First Sensor. We expect the DPLTA registration to occur in our fourth fiscal quarter. Under the terms of the DPLTA, upon its effectiveness, First Sensor minority shareholders will be offered to elect either (1) to remain First Sensor minority shareholders and receive recurring annual compensation of €0.56 per First Sensor share or (2) to put their First Sensor shares in exchange for compensation of €33.27 per First Sensor share. The ultimate amount and timing of any future cash payments related to the DPLTA is uncertain. The exercise of the put right by First Sensor minority shareholders is not within our control and will result in the First Sensor noncontrolling interest being presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet following registration of the DPLTA.

Other Acquisitions

During the six months ended March 27, 2020, we acquired three additional businesses for a combined cash purchase price of $124 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisitions were reported as part of our Transportation Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments from the date of acquisition.
