3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS 

 

Acquisition of GABRIEL Performance Products

 

On January 15, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Gabriel Performance Products, a North American specialty chemical manufacturer of specialty additives and epoxy curing agents for the coatings, adhesives, sealants and composite end-markets (the “Gabriel Acquisition”), from funds affiliated with Audax Private Equity in an all-cash transaction of approximately $251 million. The purchase price was funded from available liquidity, and the acquired business has been integrated into our Advanced Materials segment. Transaction costs related to this acquisition were approximately $2 million in 2021 and were recorded in other operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

We accounted for the Gabriel Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

 

 

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The valuation was finalized during the first quarter of 2022. Intangible assets acquired included in this allocation consist of trademarks, technology and trade secrets, which are being amortized over a period of 15 years. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to projected future profitable growth in our Advanced Materials specialty portfolio and synergies. We acquired approximately $94 million of goodwill that will be deductible for income tax purposes.
