ACQUISITIONS

ViaForm Distribution Rights

On June 1, 2023, the Company terminated a long-standing distribution agreement related to its ViaForm® electrochemical deposition products for $200 million, including $170 million paid at closing and a deferred payment of $30.0 million which remains contingent upon satisfaction of certain conditions during the applicable transition period. Following the transition period, the Company expects to manage all aspects of the ViaForm® product line in-house, which it believes will result in a more efficient supply chain and improved customer outcomes for leading semiconductor fabricators. This deferred payment is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2023 and, as such, is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities." The transaction did not meet the accounting definition of a business which precluded any goodwill from being recognized and allowed the Company to capitalize $0.5 million of transaction costs. The financial results of this transaction are included in the Company's Semiconductor Solutions business within its Electronics segment.

In connection with the transaction, the Company recognized a reacquired distribution right intangible asset of $187 million, which will be amortized over 15 years, and a receivable of $13.5 million which will be settled in inventory and cash at the conclusion of the transition period and is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Other current assets." The amount paid, including future consideration, is deductible for tax purposes.

Kuprion Acquisition

On May 19, 2023, the Company completed the Kuprion Acquisition for $15.9 million, net of cash, with potential additional payments in various installments, which are not to exceed $259 million in aggregate, to be made upon the achievement of certain milestones associated with product qualification and revenue through December 31, 2030. The Company acquired Kuprion, Inc. to complement its next-generation nano-copper technology to the semiconductor, circuit board and electronics assembly markets. As the acquisition did not meet the accounting definition of a business and the technology acquired is still in development with no alternative future use, $15.7 million was expensed to research and development in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any potential earn-out payments to be paid based on milestones will be recognized when probable and estimable and either expensed as additional research and development expense, if the technology did not yet meet the accounting definition of an asset, or capitalized as a developed technology intangible asset. The Company does not expect payments associated with the contingent consideration to be material for the remainder of 2023. Kuprion, Inc. is included in the Company's Semiconductor Solutions business within its Electronics segment. The amount paid, including future consideration, is not deductible for tax purposes.
