3. ACQUISITIONS

Each of the following acquisitions was completed in order to pursue our strategy of increasing our market presence by expanding our service base and enhancing our position in certain geographic areas as a leading provider of home health and hospice services. The purchase price paid for each acquisition was negotiated through arm’s length transactions, with consideration based on our analysis of, among other things, comparable acquisitions and expected cash flows for each transaction. Each of the following acquisitions was accounted for as a purchase and is included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the respective acquisition date. Goodwill generated from the acquisitions was recognized for the excess of the purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets because of the expected contributions of each acquisition to our overall corporate strategy.

Note 3 — Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company may from time to time acquire or dispose of assets, subsidiaries or lines of business.  Significant transactions are described below.

Great-West Healthcare Acquisition.  On April 1, 2008, the Company acquired the Healthcare division of Great-West Life and Annuity, Inc. (“Great-West Healthcare” or the “acquired business”) through 100% indemnity reinsurance agreements and the acquisition of certain affiliates and other assets and liabilities of Great-West Healthcare. The purchase price of approximately $1.5 billion consisted of a payment to the seller of approximately $1.4 billion for the net assets acquired and the assumption of net liabilities under the reinsurance agreement of approximately $0.1 billion.  Great-West Healthcare primarily sells medical plans on a self-funded basis with stop loss coverage to select and regional employer groups.  Great-West Healthcare’s offerings also include the following specialty products:  stop loss, life, disability, medical, dental, vision, prescription drug coverage, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance.  The acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, was financed through a combination of cash and the issuance of both short and long-term debt.

In the first quarter of 2009, the Company completed its allocation of the total purchase price to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired based on management's estimates of their fair values without material changes from December 31, 2008.

The results of Great-West Healthcare are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma information for the Company assuming the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2008.  The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results would have been if the acquisition had occurred as of that date or what such results will be for any future periods.

4. ACQUISITIONS

2008 Acquisition

In October 2008, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Vapps, Inc. (“Vapps”), a privately held Delaware corporation headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey. Vapps offers high quality audio conferencing solutions to small and medium sized businesses and enterprise and service provider markets that complement the Company’s online services products. The total consideration for this transaction was approximately $26.6 million in cash, including $1.0 million in transaction costs. In addition, if certain financial and operational milestones are achieved by the Vapps business, contingent consideration of up to approximately $4.4 million may be earned. The sources of funds for this transaction consisted of available cash and investments. In addition, the Company assumed approximately 0.1 million unvested stock options upon the closing of the transaction. Revenues from Vapps are included in the Company’s Online Services revenue. The Vapps’ results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning after the date of its acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of Vapps, the Company allocated $19.5 million to goodwill, $8.2 million to product related technologies and $2.6 million to other intangible assets. The goodwill related to the acquisition of Vapps was assigned to the Company’s Online Services segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 9 for segment information.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions

The fair values used in determining the purchase price allocation for certain intangible assets for the Company’s acquisition was based on estimated discounted future cash flows, royalty rates and historical data, among other information. Purchased in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) of $1.1 million was expensed immediately upon the closing of the acquisition of Vapps because it pertained to technology that was not currently technologically feasible, meaning it had not reached the working model stage, did not contain all of the major functions planned for the product, was not ready for initial customer testing and had no alternative future use. The fair value assigned to IPR&D was determined using the income approach, which includes estimating the revenue and expenses associated with a project’s sales cycle and by estimating the amount of after-tax cash flows attributable to the projects. The future cash flows were discounted to present value utilizing an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return, which ranged from 21% to 25%. The rate of return determination included a factor that takes into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the IPR&D.

Note 3 — Acquisition
     On April 9, 2009, we entered into a Stock and Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with WellPoint, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“WellPoint”). The Acquisition Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, we will purchase all of the shares and equity interests of three WellPoint subsidiaries, NextRx, Inc., NextRx Services, Inc., and NextRx, LLC (collectively, “NextRx”), that provide pharmacy benefit management services (the “PBM Business”), in exchange for total consideration of $4.675 billion. We may, in our discretion, deliver up to $1.4 billion of the purchase price in the form of common stock (valued based on average closing price over the 60 days preceding the closing of the acquisition) in lieu of cash, although we do not currently intend to do so. Additionally, the parties have agreed to make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the transaction which results in any goodwill generated being tax deductible over 15 years. We estimate the value of such election to us to be between $800 million and $1.2 billion dependent upon the discount factor and tax rate assumed. At the closing of the acquisition, we will begin integrating NextRx’s PBM clients into our existing systems and operations. We will also enter into a 10-year contract with WellPoint under which we will provide pharmacy benefits management services to WellPoint and its designated affiliates (the “PBM Agreement”). This contract is renewable upon agreement of both parties. We anticipate that the transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2009 subject to certain closing conditions. We intend to use the net proceeds from recent debt and equity offerings to finance a portion of the $4.675 billion purchase price for the acquisition (see Note 6 and Note 7).
     Our obligation to consummate the acquisition is subject to certain additional conditions, including (i) the receipt of all necessary government approvals (except for those which would not be material to NextRx as a whole) and the receipt of any state insurance law approvals; and (ii) the completion of certain transition and integration projects to our reasonable satisfaction (this condition will be deemed to be satisfied from and after December 31, 2009). WellPoint’s obligation to consummate the acquisition is subject to certain other conditions, including the receipt of all necessary government consents and approvals (except for those which would not materially affect WellPoint’s non-PBM business) without the imposition of a burdensome term or condition on WellPoint’s post-closing operations. The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act in connection with the acquisition expired on May 27, 2009.
     On July 22, 2008, we completed the acquisition of the Pharmacy Services Division of MSC — Medical Services Company (“MSC”), a privately held PBM, for a purchase price of $251.0 million, which includes a purchase price adjustment for working capital and transaction costs. MSC is a leader in providing PBM services to clients providing workers’ compensation benefits. The purchase price was funded through internally generated cash and temporary borrowings under the revolving credit facility. This acquisition is reported as part of our PBM segment.
     The purchase price was allocated based upon the estimated fair value of net assets acquired at the date of the acquisition. A portion of the excess of purchase price over tangible net assets acquired was allocated to intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships in the amount of $28.9 million and internally developed software in the amount of $1.2 million, which are being amortized using a straight-line method over estimated useful lives of fifteen years and five years, respectively. The acquired customer relationships and internally developed software are included in other intangibles, net and property and equipment, net, respectively, in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the excess of purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired was allocated to goodwill in the amount of $194.8 million. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

16.           Acquisitions
 
During the first nine months of 2009, the Company acquired a pipeline and energy services business in Montana which was not material. The total purchase consideration for this business and purchase price adjustments with respect to certain other acquisitions made prior to 2009, consisting of the Company's common stock and cash, was $22.1 million.

 
The above acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities assumed have been preliminarily recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. Final fair market values are pending the completion of the review of the relevant assets and liabilities identified as of the acquisition date. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the financial statements since the date of the acquisition. Pro forma financial amounts reflecting the effect of the above acquisition are not presented, as such acquisition was not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

7 NEWMONT MINING CORP /DE/
NOTE 14 ACQUISITIONS
On June 25, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (“AngloGold”). The valuation date for the transaction is January 1, 2009, and closing adjustments were made to reflect Newmont’s economic ownership from that date. Consideration for the acquisition consists of $750 less an $8 closing adjustment paid in cash at closing, $240 payable in cash and/or Newmont common stock, at the Company’s option, by December 2009, and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue less Costs applicable to sales on a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable quarterly on one-third of gold sales from Boddington.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration to acquire the remaining interest in Boddington:
         
Cash
  $ 742  
Cash and/or common shares
    240  
Contingent consideration (fair value)
    62  
 
     
 
  $ 1,044  
 
     
The Company estimates that the fair value of the contingent consideration is approximately $62, and recognized this as part of the purchase price at the acquisition date. Amounts are payable under the contingent royalty beginning in the second quarter of 2010. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could pay is between $0 and $100. The fair value of the contingent royalty recognized was estimated by applying the income approach. See Note 15 for a description of the key inputs used in deriving fair value.
In connection with the acquisition, Newmont incurred transaction costs of $67 (shown in Note 4, Other expense, net), including Australian stamp duties. $14 of these costs were paid at September 30, 2009. Additionally, in June 2009, Newmont paid $182 to reimburse AngloGold for its share of capital and other project expenditures from January 1, 2009 to June 25, 2009. The reimbursement of capital expenditures is included in Property, plant and mine development, net, and as Additions to property, plant and mine development on the cash flow statement.
The purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
         
Assets:
       
Cash
  $ 1  
Property, plant and mine development, net
    1,073

In the first quarter of 2009, La Herradura (of which Newmont owns 44%) purchased a mining property near its Mexico operation for cash consideration of $11 (Newmont’s 44% share).
The pro forma impact of all 2009 acquisitions on Net Income was not material.
In December 2007, the Company purchased approximately 70% of the common shares of Miramar Mining Corporation (“Miramar”), which, in addition to the shares previously owned, brought the Company’s interest in Miramar to approximately 78%. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Miramar.

(3) Business Acquisitions

Fiscal 2009

In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we acquired three entities for a total cost of approximately $469.4 million, which was primarily paid in cash. These transactions resulted in $303.3 million of goodwill (of which $217.9 million is deductible for tax purposes) and $59.9 million of other intangible assets, including tradenames with indefinite lives valued at approximately $34.7 million. The impact of these acquisitions was not material to our consolidated results of operations; consequently, pro forma information has not been included. The following is a description of the three acquisitions.

On December 4, 2008, we acquired Hackney Ladish Holding Corp. (“Hackney Ladish”), a leading producer of forged pipe fittings for critical energy infrastructure and related applications. With more than 80 years of experience manufacturing pipe fittings, Hackney Ladish offers the widest range of product types and sizes in the industry. Fittings are used in piping systems throughout the energy value chain, from drilling through processing and storage. Hackney Ladish’s products connect pipe, change the direction of flow, increase or reduce pipe sizes, join or separate flow, or cap pipe ends. This acquisition extends our reach into oil and gas markets and provides profitable growth opportunities for our seamless pipe and nickel-alloy tubing operations. Hackney Ladish operates manufacturing facilities in Russellville, Arkansas and Enid, Oklahoma. The Hackney Ladish acquisition is a stock purchase for tax purposes and operates as part of the Forged Products segment.

 

On November 21, 2008, we acquired Fatigue Technology, Inc. (“FTI”), headquartered in Seattle, Washington. FTI pioneered the cold expansion process in 1969 and is the technology leader in fatigue life extension for both metal and composite airframe fastener holes. FTI has taken this foundation of creating a residual stress field around a cold-worked hole to develop innovative solutions that significantly reduce manufacturing and maintenance flow-time and costs. The resulting components are easier and faster to install, and the methods of aircraft assembly are enhanced. This acquisition continues our strategy of expanding into additional critical aerospace fastener products, thus offering our customers a wider selection of fasteners to meet all of their requirements. The FTI acquisition is an asset purchase for tax purposes and operates as part of the Fastener Products segment.

On September 30, 2008, we acquired Airdrome Holdings, LLC (“Airdrome”), which consists of Airdrome Precision Components (“APC”) and AF Aerospace Ltd. (“AFA”). APC, located in Long Beach, California, is a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic fluid fittings primarily for airframe applications. AFA, located in Rugby, England, manufactures a variety of machined components for aerospace applications, including fittings and other fluid conveyance products, ultra-high tensile bolts, and machined details. Fluid fittings, manufactured in nickel, titanium, and stainless steel alloys, are the critical connectors for hoses transporting fuel, hydraulic fluid, and pneumatic pressure throughout an aircraft. This acquisition also fits our strategy of enhancing our critical aerospace fastener family of products to serve our customers better. The Airdrome acquisition is an asset purchase for tax purposes and operates as part of the Fastener Products segment.

 

10 QUANTA SERVICES INC
 
4.   ACQUISITIONS:
 
In July 2009, Quanta completed two acquisitions of specialty contractors with operations in the electric power, natural gas and telecommunications industries with a combined purchase price of approximately $22.3 million, consisting of approximately $14.8 million in cash and 372,183 shares of Quanta common stock valued at approximately $7.5 million at the date of acquisition on a discounted basis as a result of the restricted nature of the shares. These acquisitions enhance Quanta’s electric power, natural gas and pipeline and telecommunications capabilities throughout the Pacific Region and Western Canada. The estimated fair value of the tangible assets was $6.1 million and consisted of current assets of $4.4 million and property and equipment of $1.7 million. Net tangible assets acquired were $3.9 million after considering the assumed liabilities of $2.2 million. Quanta also recorded intangible assets in the amount of $5.6 million, consisting of customer relationships, backlog and non-compete agreements. The consideration transferred in excess of the net tangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the amount of $12.8 million. These allocations are based on the significant use of estimates and on information that was available to management at the time these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared.
 
Price Gregory Acquisition
 
On October 1, 2009, Quanta acquired Price Gregory through the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Price Gregory. In connection with the Merger, Quanta issued approximately 10.9 million shares of Quanta common stock valued at approximately $231.8 million and paid approximately $95.8 million in cash to the stockholders of Price Gregory. Price Gregory provides natural gas and oil transmission pipeline infrastructure services in North America and expands Quanta’s service capabilities in this market. Due to the recent closing of the Merger, financial information related to Price Gregory, including Quanta’s pro forma results as a result of the Merger, have not yet been completed.
 
Since the acquisition closed subsequent to September 30, 2009, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the Merger, although expenses related to the Merger of approximately $1.3 million are included in selling, general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

NOTE G - ACQUISITIONS

 

2009 Acquisitions

 

On July 23, 2009, the Company acquired the Port Equipment Business from Fantuzzi Industries S.a.r.l for approximately $126 million, comprised of approximately $71 million of public indebtedness, approximately $45 million of net payables assumed from the seller and approximately $10 million of net cash payments, which included approximately $69 million of cash that the Port Equipment Business had on the date of acquisition Financial arrangements were made with existing financial creditors of the Port Equipment Business to provide the Company with long-term financing on favorable terms for substantially the entire acquisition price. The results of the Port Equipment Business are included in the Cranes segment from the date of acquisition. Terex Port Equipment designs, manufactures and services port equipment with manufacturing facilities in Italy, Germany and China, as well as sales and service branches around the world. This acquisition helps diversify the Company’s Cranes business, and expands the product offering of Terex Cranes to the container transport industry beyond its current stacker product line.

On a preliminary basis, of the approximately $22 million of acquired intangible assets, approximately $16 million was assigned to customer relationships with useful lives of 8-11 years, approximately $2 million was assigned to patents with average useful lives of 5 years and approximately $4 million was assigned to trademarks and trade names with average useful lives of 5 years.

 

Goodwill of $86.6 million was recognized on the date of acquisition and represented the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair values of net assets acquired, as determined at that time. None of the goodwill assigned to Terex Port Equipment is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The Company recorded expenses of $4.8 million and $6.8 million, respectively, in other income (expense) – net for acquisition related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

 

2008 Acquisitions

 

On February 26, 2008, the Company acquired approximately 98% of the outstanding common stock of ASV through a tender offer. This was followed by a merger that was completed on March 3, 2008, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the remaining outstanding common stock of ASV. The results of ASV are included in the Construction segment from the date of acquisition. Headquartered in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, ASV is a manufacturer of compact rubber track loaders and related accessories, undercarriages and traction products. The acquisition enhances the Company’s product line for smaller construction equipment and provides opportunities for expanding the customer base of ASV and the Company. The Company intends to expand ASV product sales outside the U.S.

 

The aggregate purchase price for ASV was approximately $457 million, net of cash acquired. The Company issued 24 thousand restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $1.7 million, of which $0.8 million was allocated to the purchase price and the remaining $0.9 million will be recorded as an expense of the Company over the remaining service period. On the date of acquisition, ASV had approximately $47 million in cash.

 

Although the acquisition of ASV was not material to the Company, given the relative significance of the goodwill originally recorded, the following table provides information summarizing the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at February 26, 2008, the date of acquisition (in millions):

Of the approximately $106 million of acquired intangible assets, approximately $74 million was assigned to customer relationships with useful lives of 10-15 years, approximately $30 million was assigned to patents with useful lives of 10-19 years and approximately $2 million was assigned to trademarks and trade names with useful lives of 5 years.

 

Goodwill of $295 million was initially recognized on the date of acquisition and purchase accounting adjustments of $41 million were recorded through September 30, 2008, primarily related to adjustments to customer relationships, patents and deferred taxes. Goodwill of approximately $254 million represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired, as determined at that time. None of the goodwill assigned to ASV was expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As a result of the annual impairment test for goodwill performed as of October 1, 2008, all of the goodwill recorded for ASV was deemed impaired.

 

The Company also completed smaller acquisitions during 2008 in the Aerial Work Platforms and Construction segments that, taken together, had an aggregate purchase price of less than $30 million. These acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results either individually or in the aggregate.

 

12 UNITED STATES STEEL CORP
4. Acquisitions

 

Non-controlling interests of Clairton 1314B Partnership, L.P.

On October 31, 2008, U. S. Steel acquired the interests in the Clairton 1314B Partnership, L.P. (1314B) held by unrelated parties for $104 million and 1314B was terminated. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with FAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (FAS 141). U. S. Steel accounted for the purchase price of this acquisition, in excess of the acquired noncontrolling interest, using step acquisition accounting. This resulted in a partial step-up in the book value of property, plant and equipment of $73 million, which will be depreciated over 15 years.

Pickle Lines

On August 29, 2008, U. S. Steel Canada Inc. (USSC) paid C$38 million (approximately $36 million) to acquire three pickle lines in Nanticoke, Ontario, Canada. The acquisition of the pickle lines strengthened USSC’s position as a premier supplier of flat-rolled steel products to the North American market. The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with FAS 141. The purchase price has been allocated to the acquired property, plant and equipment.

 

13 V F CORP

Note C Acquisition

 

On March 11, 2009, VF completed the acquisition of Mo Industries Holdings, Inc. ("Mo Industries"), owner of the SplendidÒ and Ella MossÒ brands of premium sportswear marketed to upscale department and specialty stores.  This transaction resulted in VF acquiring the remaining two-thirds equity of Mo Industries for a purchase price of $160.8 million (consisting of $156.1 million of cash and $4.7 million of notes) and payment of $52.3 million of debt.  In June 2008, VF had acquired one-third of the outstanding equity of Mo Industries for $77.4 million.  The agreement included put/call rights to acquire the remaining equity during the first half of 2009 at a price based on the acquired company’s earnings.  The initial investment was recorded in Other Assets and was accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  The carrying value of the investment was $80.5 million at the time of the March 2009 acquisition, consisting of the initial cost of the investment, plus the equity in net income of the investment to the date of acquisition.  In accordance with authoritative guidance, VF recognized a gain in the first quarter of $0.3 million from remeasuring its one-third interest in Mo Industries to fair value.  The gain was included in Miscellaneous Income in VF’s Consolidated Statement of Income.  Mo Industries is being reported as part of the Contemporary Brands Coalition. 

 

The following table summarizes the amounts of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including the fair value of the prior one-third equity investment) that were recognized at the date of acquisition:

Acquired intangible assets consisted of trademarks and customer relationships.  Management believes the SplendidÒ and Ella MossÒ trademarks have indefinite lives.  Customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized using an accelerated method over their 18 year useful life.  Factors that contributed to the recognition of Goodwill included (i) expected growth rates and profitability of the acquired business, (ii) the ability to expand the brands within their markets and to new markets, (iii) an experienced workforce, (iv) VF’s strategies for growth in sales, income and cash flows and (v) expected synergies with existing VF business units.  None of the Goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

Amounts of Mo Industries’ revenues and pretax earnings included in VF’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the third quarter were $20.0 million and $4.2 million and since the date of acquisition were $41.7 million and $8.5 million, respectively.  Pro forma operating results for periods prior to the acquisition date are not provided because the acquisition was not material to VF’s results of operations.  Acquisition expenses included in VF’s results of operations were not significant.

15 WINDSTREAM CORP

14. Pending Transactions:

On May 10, 2009 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of D&E in a transaction valued at approximately $350.0 million as of September 30, 2009. Under the terms of the agreement, D&E shareholders will receive 0.650 shares of Windstream common stock and $5.00 in cash per each share of D&E common stock. As of September 30, 2009, D&E had outstanding approximately 14.4 million shares of common stock and approximately $180.8 million of long-term debt, including current maturities. Including the early extinguishment of debt, cash consideration to be paid at closing was estimated to be approximately $256.0 million as of September 30, 2009. The acquisition of D&E will significantly increase Windstream’s presence in Pennsylvania. As of September 30, 2009, D&E had approximately 114,000 incumbent local exchange carrier (“ILEC”) access lines, 47,000 competitive local exchange carrier access lines and 46,000 high-speed Internet customers in central Pennsylvania. In addition, we expect this acquisition to generate significant opportunities for operating efficiencies with contiguous Windstream markets. The acquisition is expected to close on November 10, 2009.

 

On September 8, 2009 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Lexcom based in Lexington, North Carolina, for approximately $141.0 million in cash, net of working capital to be acquired. The acquisition will increase Windstream’s presence in North Carolina. As of September 30, 2009, Lexcom had approximately 23,000 ILEC access lines, 9,000 high-speed Internet customers and 12,000 cable television customers in North Carolina. In addition, we expect this acquisition to generate opportunities for operating efficiencies with contiguous Windstream markets. The acquisition has received Lexcom shareholder approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2009, subject to certain conditions including the necessary approvals from federal regulators.

16 XEROX CORP
Note 4 – Acquisitions
 
In September 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Affiliated Computer Services (“ACS”) in a cash and stock transaction. Upon completion of the acquisition, each outstanding share of ACS common stock will be converted into the right to receive a combination of 4.935 shares of Xerox common stock and $18.60 in cash for a combined value of $57.09 per share, or approximately $6.1 billion; based on the closing price of Xerox common stock of $7.80 on October 19, 2009. We will also assume ACS’s debt, which was $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2009, and issue convertible preferred stock with a liquidation value of $300 to ACS’s Class B shareholder.  The cash portion of the acquisition, as well as the repayment of approximately $1.8 billion of ACS’s assumed debt is expected to be funded through a combination of cash-on-hand, borrowing under our existing Credit Facility and the issuance of senior notes in the capital markets. In October 2009, we completed a successful syndication of a $3.0 billion interim Bridge Loan Facility with commitments from several banks that may be used for funding in the event the transaction closes prior to obtaining permanent financing in the capital markets. The Bridge Loan Facility will mature on the first anniversary of the closing date of the ACS acquisition, subject to two extensions: 1) for up to $1.5 billion to the second anniversary of the closing date, and 2) for up to $750 to the third anniversary of the closing date. Debt issuance costs for the Bridge Loan Facility are expected to be approximately $60 and will be amortized over the term of the Bridge Loan Facility.  If it becomes probable that the bridge financing (or portions thereof) will not be used prior to the commitment expiration date (e.g., permanent financing is secured), the remaining unamortized portion of the commitment fee (or portions thereof) at the date of permanent financing will be immediately recognized through earnings as other expense.
 
ACS is a provider of business process outsourcing (“BPO”) and information technology (“IT”) services and solutions to commercial and government clients worldwide.  ACS delivers a full range of BPO and IT services, as well as end-to-end solutions to the public and private sectors and supports a variety of industries including education, energy, financial, government, healthcare, retail and transportation.  ACS’s revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 were $6.5 billion, and they employed 74,000 people and operated in over 100 countries.
 
The purchase price is expected to be primarily allocated to intangible assets and goodwill based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates. The acquisition of ACS is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, the satisfaction of certain conditions related to the debt financing for the transaction and other usual and customary closing conditions.
 
In February 2009, Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (“GIS”) acquired ComDoc, Inc. (“ComDoc”) for approximately $145 in cash.

This acquisition continues GIS’s expansion of a national network of office technology suppliers to serve its growing base of small and mid-size businesses. The operating results of ComDoc are not material to our financial statements and are included within our Office segment from the date of acquisition. The purchase price was primarily allocated to intangible assets and goodwill based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates.
