2. Acquisitions

During fiscal 2020, the Company completed eight business acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $41.3 million. The allocations of the purchase prices with respect to certain assets acquired during fiscal 2020 are complete. The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since their respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions were not significant in relation to the Company’s consolidated financial results and, therefore, pro forma financial information has not been presented.

Aggregate information relating to the acquisition of businesses which were accounted for as purchases is as follows (in thousands, except number of businesses acquired):

Tangible assets acquired primarily relate to accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and property, plant and equipment. Liabilities assumed primarily relate to leases, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The amount assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on their respective fair values determined as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. In fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, the goodwill was primarily allocated to the U.S. and Canadian Rental and Cleaning segment and is deductible for tax purposes.

In September 2019, the Company completed an acquisition for approximately $38.8 million. The all-cash transaction was structured as an asset acquisition, with the Company acquiring substantially all of the acquired company’s industrial laundry, industrial uniform rental and industrial direct sales assets.
