Acquisitions

Merger with BTU International

On January 30, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of BTU (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, each share of BTU common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, including BTU restricted stock units that vested immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, was converted to 0.3291 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company issued 3,185,852 shares of Company common stock on the Merger date. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, options to purchase BTU common stock held by BTU employees were assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase shares of Company common stock on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such BTU stock options, with appropriate adjustments based upon the exchange ratio of 0.3291 to the exercise price and the number of shares of Company common stock subject to such stock option. As a result of the Merger, the company owns 100% of the outstanding stock of BTU.

The following unaudited pro forma data has been prepared by adjusting the Company’s historical data to give effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on October 1, 2013 and includes adjustments for depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, and the effect of other purchase accounting adjustments:

Goodwill of $4.5 million was assigned to the semiconductor segment.

As of September 30, 2015, the accounting for the BTU acquisition has not been finalized due to pending items on the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities.

Under the guidance on accounting for business combinations, merger and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. Transaction-related expenses of $4.0 million and $1.3 million for fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively, are included in the Selling, General and Administrative line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On December 24, 2014, the Company expanded our participation in the solar market by acquiring a 51% controlling interest in SoLayTec, which provides ALD systems used in high efficiency solar cells, for a total purchase price consideration of $1.9 million.

The Company consolidated the results of operations for SoLayTec beginning on December 24, 2014, the effective date of the acquisition, which were not material to our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2015.
