On May 16, 2022, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by its definitive agreement with Aspen Technology, Inc. ("AspenTech") to contribute two of Emerson's stand-alone industrial software businesses, Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business (collectively, the “Emerson Industrial Software Business”), along with approximately $6.0 billion in cash to AspenTech stockholders, to create "New AspenTech", a diversified, high-performance industrial software leader with greater scale, capabilities and technologies. Upon closing of the transaction, Emerson beneficially owned 55 percent of the outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and former AspenTech stockholders owned the remaining outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock. New AspenTech and its subsidiaries now operate under AspenTech’s previous name “Aspen Technology, Inc.” and New AspenTech common stock is traded on NASDAQ under AspenTech’s previous stock ticker symbol “AZPN.”

The business combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Emerson considered the accounting acquirer of AspenTech. The net assets of AspenTech were recorded at their estimated fair value and the Emerson Industrial Software Business continues at its historical basis. The Company recorded a noncontrolling interest of $5.9 billion for the 45 percent ownership interest of former AspenTech stockholders in New AspenTech. The noncontrolling interest associated with the AspenTech acquired net assets was recorded at fair value determined using the closing market price per share of AspenTech as of May 16, 2022, while the portion attributable

to the Emerson Industrial Software business was recorded at its historical carrying amount. The impact of recognizing the noncontrolling interest in the Emerson Industrial Software Business resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital of $550.
