ACQUISITIONS

On April 29, 2016, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Colorpak, a leading folding carton supplier in Australia and New Zealand. Colorpak operates three folding carton facilities that convert paperboard into folding cartons for the food, beverage and consumer product markets. The folding carton facilities are located in Melbourne, Australia, Sydney, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.

On March 31, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Metro, a single converting facility located in Wayne, New Jersey.

On February 16, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of WG Anderson, a premier folding carton manufacturer with a focus on store branded food and consumer product markets. WG Anderson operates two world-class sheet-fed folding carton converting facilities located in Hamel, Minnesota and Newton, Iowa.

On January 5, 2016, the Company acquired G-Box. The acquisition includes two folding carton converting facilities located in Monterrey, Mexico and Tijuana, Mexico that service the food, beverage, and consumer products markets.

The Colorpak, Metro, WG Anderson and G-Box transactions are referred to collectively as the "2016 Acquisitions" and are included in the Americas Paperboard Packaging Segment.

The Company paid approximately $332 million, net of cash acquired, for the 2016 Acquisitions using existing cash and borrowings under its revolving line of credit, and assumed debt of approximately $31 million. The acquisition accounting for the 2016 Acquisitions has been preliminarily allocated to assets and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the purchase dates and is subject to adjustments in subsequent periods once the third party valuations are completed. Management believes that the purchase price attributable to goodwill represents the benefits expected as the acquisitions were made to continue to grow the food and beverage business, integrate paperboard from the Company's mills and to further optimize the Company's supply chain footprint.

The Company expects that the goodwill related to Metro will be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary acquisition accounting allocation for the 2016 Acquisitions is as follows:
