Segrest Inc.
On October 24, 2016, the Company acquired Segrest, Inc., a wholesaler of aquarium fish, for a purchase price of approximately $60.0 million, of which $6.0 million is in an escrow account managed by an independent trustee and is payable contingent upon future events. The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets acquired by approximately $47.7 million, which is included in other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 25, 2017. The Company has not yet finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the intangible assets acquired. This acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company's position in the aquatics category and provide the opportunity for synergies with the Company's existing aquatics business.
Proforma financial information has not been presented as the Segrest acquisition was not considered material to the Company's overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented.
