SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 5, 2014, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Lithicon AS of Trondheim, Norway and Canberra, Australia. Lithicon provides digital rock technology services and pore-scale micro computed tomography (microCT) equipment to oil and gas companies. In conjunction with the acquisition we have obtained the helical scan microCT product and associated software from the Australian National University, through a licensing and development agreement. The total purchase price of the acquisition was $68.0 million. As of the date of this filing, the allocation of the purchase price is in process and, accordingly, the applicable disclosures cannot be made and the acquisition is not significant for the purposes of pro-forma disclosures.
