Acquisitions

On January 5, 2016, subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2016, the Company purchased all outstanding stock of a privately-held software company for approximately $40.0 million. The acquisition is expected to enable the Company to deliver a full storage solution product to its customers. The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired and does not expect the acquisition to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

On October 7, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a manufacturing facility and related assets from a customer in the industrial end market. As part of this transaction, the Company expects to also enter into a master supply agreement for the provision of products to such customer. This transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2016.
