Acquisitions	ACQUISITIONS 2016 Acquisitions Effective December 1, 2015, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Westway Services Holdings (2014) Ltd. (“Westway”), a provider of technical engineering services to customers in the United Kingdom, for a purchase price of $81.0 million. We accounted for this acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, we allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values, with the excess of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. As of January 31, 2016, the valuation of the intangible assets was incomplete. As such, the purchase price allocation reflects preliminary amounts of net assets acquired, including other intangible assets, which are subject to adjustments within the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. We recorded preliminary goodwill of $45.0 million, which is reflective of our identification of buyer-specific synergies that we anticipate will be realized by, among other things, reducing duplicative positions and back office functions and by reducing professional fees and other services.
