ACQUISITION OF CHILI'S RESTAURANTS

On June 1, 2013, we completed the acquisition of 11 Chili's restaurants in Alberta, Canada from an existing franchisee for $24.6 million in cash. The results of operations of the Canadian restaurants are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of the Canadian restaurants were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we completed the valuation of the reacquired franchise rights and recorded the asset at an estimated fair value of $8.9 million in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill.

The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. We expect the majority of the goodwill balance to be deductible for tax purposes. The portion of the purchase price attributable to goodwill represents benefits expected as a result of the acquisition, including sales and unit growth opportunities. We do not expect any further material adjustments to the purchase price allocation. Pro-forma financial information of the combined entities for periods prior to the acquisition is not presented due to the immaterial impact of the financial results of the Canadian restaurants on our consolidated financial statements.
