. Acquisitions
 
The
Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC
805,
“Business Combinations,” in which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired business are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.
 
Monolith
 
In
December 2015,
the
Company invested
$3.5
million in the preferred stock of Monolith Semiconductor Inc. (“Monolith”), a U.S. start-up company developing silicon carbide technology, which represented approximately
12%
of the common stock of Monolith on an as-converted basis. The Company accounted for its investment in Monolith under the cost method with any changes in value recorded in other comprehensive income. The value of the Monolith investment was
$3.5
million at
December 31, 2016.
 
On
February 28, 2017,
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the
Company and the stockholders of Monolith and conditioned on Monolith achieving a product development milestone and other provisions, the Company acquired approximately
62%
of the outstanding common stock of Monolith for
$15
million. The Securities Purchase Agreement includes provisions whereby the Company will acquire the remaining outstanding stock of Monolith (“non-controlling interest”) at a time or times based on Monolith meeting certain technical and sales targets. Consideration for the additional investment(s) will range from
$1.0
million to
$10
million and will be paid
no
later than
June 30, 2019.
 
The additional investment resulted in the
Company gaining control of Monolith and was accounted for as a step-acquisition with the fair value of the original investment immediately before the acquisition estimated to be approximately
$3.5
million. As the fair value of the investment immediately prior to the transaction equaled the carrying value, there was
no
impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of net income. As the Securities Purchase Agreement includes an obligation of the Company to mandatorily redeem the non-controlling interest for cash, the fair value of the non-controlling interest was recognized as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the non-controlling interest are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income.
 
Commencing
March 1, 2017,
Monolith was reflected as a consolidated subsidiary within the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. Had the acquisition occurred as of
January 
1,
2017,
the impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations would
not
have been material.
 
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Monolith acquisition:

All
Monolith goodwill, other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Electronics segment and reflected in the United States geographic area. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining Monolith’s products and technology with the Company’s existing electronics product portfolio. Goodwill for the above acquisition is
not
expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
 
ON Portfolio
 
On
August 29, 2016,
the
Company acquired certain assets of select businesses (the “ON Portfolio”) of ON Semiconductor Corporation for
$104.0
million. The Company funded the acquisition with available cash and proceeds from its credit facility
. The acquired business, which is included in the Electronics segment,
consists of a product portfolio that includes transient voltage suppression (“TVS”) diodes, switching thyristors and insulated gate bipolar transistors (“IGBTs”) for automotive ignition applications. The acquisition expands the Company’s offerings in power semiconductor applications as well as increases its presence in the automotive electronics market. The ON Portfolio products have strong synergies with the Company’s existing circuit protection business and will strengthen its channel partnerships and customer engagement.

13.5
years. The patented and unpatented technologies are being amortized over

years. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the
Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining the ON Portfolio products with the Company’s existing
power semiconductor product portfolio.
$7.3
million of goodwill for the above acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
 
As required by purchase accounting rules, the
Company recorded a
$0.7
million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation. All of the step-up was amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during
2016,
as the acquired inventory was sold, and reflected as other non-segment costs.

’s
 
On
April 4, 2016,
the
Company completed the acquisition of Menber’s S.p.A. (“Menber’s”) headquartered in Legnago, Italy for
$19.2
million, net of acquired cash and after settlement of a working capital adjustment. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The acquired business is part of the Company's commercial vehicle product business within the Automotive segment and specializes in the design, manufacturing, and selling of manual and electrical high current switches and trailer connectors for commercial vehicles. The acquisition expands the Company’s commercial vehicle products business globally.

PolySwitch
 
On
March 25, 2016,
the
Company acquired
100%
of the circuit protection business (“PolySwitch”) of TE Connectivity Ltd. for
$348.3
million, net of acquired cash and after settlement of certain post-closing adjustments. In the
second
quarter of
2017,
the Company paid the final consideration of
$3.8
million. The Company funded the acquisition with available cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The PolySwitch business, which is split between the Automotive and Electronics segments,
has a leading position in polymer based resettable circuit protection devices, with a strong global presence in the automotive, battery, industrial, communications and mobile computing markets. PolySwitch has manufacturing facilities in Shanghai and Kunshan, China and Tsukuba, Japan.
