2023 Acquisition

On November 3, 2022 we acquired 100% of CyberOptics Corporation (CyberOptics). CyberOptics is a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-precision 3D optical sensing technology solutions. The CyberOptics acquisition expanded our test and inspection platform, providing differentiated technology that expands our product offering in the semiconductor and electronics industries and is reported in our Advanced Technology Solutions segment. We acquired CyberOptics for an aggregate purchase price of $377,843, net of cash of approximately $40,890, funded using borrowing under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, goodwill of $279,630 and identifiable intangible assets of $58,600 were recorded. The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of $15,200 of tradenames (amortized over fifteen years), $14,600 of technology (amortized over seven years), and $28,800 of customer contracts (amortized over twelve years). The results of CyberOptics are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of January 31, 2023, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as we complete our assessment of intangibles and income taxes. The assets and liabilities acquired were as follows:
