On August 24, 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire NDC Technologies (NDC), a leading global provider of precision measurement solutions for in-line manufacturing process control. NDC's technology portfolio includes in-line measurement sensors, gauges and analyzers using near-infrared, laser, X-ray, optical and nucleonic technologies, as well as proprietary algorithms and software. The acquisition will expand our test and inspection platform and will be reported in our Advanced Technology Solutions segment. The all-cash transaction, the purchase price of which is subject to customary post-closing adjustments, is valued at $180,000 and will be funded using cash from operations and proceeds from borrowings. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
