2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
On June 16, 2014, the Company completed its purchase of Air Distribution Technologies, Inc. (ADT) for approximately $1.6
billion, net of cash acquired, all of which was paid as of September 30, 2014. ADT is one of the largest independent providers of
air distribution and ventilation products in North America. On June 13, 2014, the Company completed a public offering of $1.7
billion aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes to finance the purchase of ADT. In connection with the ADT acquisition,
the Company recorded goodwill of $837 million in the Building Efficiency Other segment. The Company also recorded
approximately $477 million of intangible assets that are subject to amortization, of which approximately $475 million was assigned
to customer relationships with useful lives between 18 and 20 years. In addition, the Company recorded approximately $230
million of trade names that are not subject to amortization. The purchase price allocations may be subsequently adjusted to reflect
final valuation studies.
Also during fiscal 2014, the Company completed four additional acquisitions for a combined purchase price, net of cash acquired,
of $144 million, all of which was paid as of September 30, 2014. The acquisitions in the aggregate were not material to the
Company's consolidated financial statements. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $140 million.
The purchase price allocations may be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuation studies. Three of the acquisitions increased
the Company's ownership from a noncontrolling to controlling interest. As a result, the Company recorded a combined non-cash
gain of $38 million in equity income to adjust the Company's existing equity investments in the partially-owned affiliates to fair
value. The $38 million gain includes $19 million for the Power Solutions business and $19 million for the Building Efficiency
Asia business.
