Acquisitions and Investments in Unaffiliated Companies

5 Acquisitions and Investments in Unaffiliated Companies

In July 2018, the Company acquired the sole intellectual property rights to the Desorption Electrospray Ionization (“DESI”) imaging technology for $30 million in cash and a future contractual obligation to pay a minimum royalty of $3 million over the remaining life of the patent. DESI is a mass spectrometry imaging technique that is used to develop medical therapies. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition as it did not meet the definition of a business. The Company allocated $33 million of fair value to a purchased intangible asset which will be amortized over the useful life of 12 years.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, the Company made $4 million of investments in unaffiliated companies, bringing the total investment in unaffiliated companies to $8 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018.
