ACQUISITIONS

On January 30, 2015, IPG acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of the Plant Equipment Group (“PEG”) from TAKKT America, a business-to-business direct marketer of maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”) products with operations in North America for approximately $25.9 million in cash, $1.9 million of which was placed into an escrow account for one year to secure the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement.  This acquisition expanded the IPG segment presence in the MRO market in North America. The acquisition is considered an asset acquisition for tax purposes and as such, the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is tax deductible. The total associated transaction costs of the acquisition were $0.4 million and were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):
