Proposed Acquisition

Proposed Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, the Company announced that it reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Meggitt plc ("Meggitt") for 800 pence per share (the "Acquisition"), which is approximately £6,263 million based on issued share capital at March 31, 2022.

Meggitt is a leader in design, manufacturing and aftermarket support of technologically differentiated systems and equipment in aerospace, defense and selected energy markets with annual sales of approximately $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. We intend to fund the proposed Acquisition with cash and new debt. Refer to Note 14 for further discussion. The proposed Acquisition received the European Commission's clearance on April 11, 2022, conditional on full compliance with commitments offered by the Company, including a commitment to divest its wheel and brake business within the Aerospace Systems Segment. The proposed Acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions, including further regulatory clearances. Acquisition-related transaction costs totaled $34 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Restricted Cash

In connection with the proposed Acquisition, we deposited a total of $2,272 million, comprised of cash on hand and net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper, into an escrow account during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The escrow account is restricted for payments related to the proposed Acquisition. At March 31, 2022, the balance was $2,487 million, which was recorded within prepaid expenses and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
