Business Acquisition

2. Business Acquisition

On April 8, 2016, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of Harris Corporation’s composite aerostructures business for cash of $187 million, plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The Company funded the cash payable at closing by utilizing proceeds from a $550 million, unsecured credit facility agreement that was completed April 8, 2016 (see Note 14). The seller provided representations, warranties and indemnities customary for acquisition transactions, including indemnities for certain customer claims identified before closing. The acquired entity is part of the Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) segment.

There were no changes during 2017 to the provisional allocation recorded in 2016. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired:

Assets acquired

Inventories	16,670
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	402

Deferred income taxes	33,143
