Cornell Dubilier Foil, LLC
On June 13, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Cornell Dubilier Foil, LLC (whose name was subsequently changed to KEMET Foil Manufacturing, LLC ("KEMET Foil")), a Tennessee based manufacturer of etched foils utilized as a core component in the manufacture of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The undiscounted purchase price was $15.0 million plus a $0.5 million working capital adjustment, of which $11.6 million (net of cash received) was paid at closing and $1.0 million was paid on the first and second anniversary of the closing date and $1.0 million is due on June 13, 2014. The Company recorded goodwill of $1.1 million and amortizable intangibles of $1.7 million. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities was based on the relative fair value of all assets and liabilities. Factors contributing to the purchase price which resulted in the goodwill (which is tax deductible) included the trained workforce. Pro forma results are not presented because the acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements. KEMET Foil is included within Film and Electrolytic.

As discussed in Note 7, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," the goodwill recorded for KEMET Foil was fully impaired in fiscal year 2013.
Niotan Incorporated
On February 21, 2012, KEMET acquired all of the outstanding shares of Niotan Incorporated, whose name was subsequently changed to KEMET Blue Powder Corporation ("Blue Powder"), a manufacturer of tantalum powders, from an affiliate of Denham Capital Management LP. Blue Powder has its headquarters and principal operating location in Carson City, Nevada. KEMET paid an initial purchase price of $30.5 million (net of cash received) at the closing of the transaction. Additional deferred payments of $45 million are payable over a thirty-month period after the closing and a working capital adjustment of $0.4 million which was paid in April 2012. In fiscal years 2014 and 2013 KEMET has made installment payments totaling $20.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively. KEMET will also be required to make quarterly royalty payments for tantalum powder produced by Blue Powder, in an aggregate amount equal to $10.0 million by December 31, 2014, and KEMET made payments of $1.5 million through March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014 deferred payment of $18.6 million remain due to the seller in fiscal year 2015. The Company determined that the royalty payments should be treated as part of the consideration for Blue Powder instead of a separate transaction because (i) it is paid to the selling shareholder who is not continuing with Blue Powder, (ii) it was based solely on the negotiation process and (iii) KEMET now owns the technology. The Company recorded goodwill of $35.6 million and amortizable intangibles of $22.4 million. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities was based on the relative fair value of all assets and liabilities. Factors contributing to the purchase price which resulted in the goodwill (which is not tax deductible) include market recognition of the world class quality of Blue Powder's tantalum powder, the Company's cost savings due to vertical integration and Blue Powder's ability to provide a constant and reliable supply of tantalum powder. Pro forma results are not presented because the acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements. Blue Powder is included within Solid Capacitors.
The total discounted purchase price for Blue Powder was $82.0 million which includes (amounts in thousands):
