4. Acquisitions

First Sensor AG

During the nine months ended June 26, 2020, we acquired approximately 72% of the outstanding shares of First Sensor AG (“First Sensor”), a provider of sensing solutions based in Germany, for €181 million in cash (equivalent to $201 million), net of cash acquired. 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.

We and First Sensor entered into a DPLTA which was approved by First Sensor shareholders in May 2020 and became effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 following registration in the commercial register in Germany. Under the terms of the DPLTA, upon its effectiveness, First Sensor minority shareholders can 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. Following the registration of the DPLTA in July 2020, the First Sensor noncontrolling interest balance of $108 million was reclassified and will be presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in future periods as the exercise of the put right by First Sensor minority shareholders is not within our control.

Other Acquisitions

During the nine months ended June 26, 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.
