Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisition of Pioneer Food Group Ltd. (Pioneer Foods)
On July 19, 2019, we entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Pioneer Foods for 110.00 South African rand per share in cash, in a transaction valued at approximately $1.7 billion.
The transaction is subject to a Pioneer Foods shareholder vote, certain regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, and closing is expected by the first quarter of 2020.
Acquisition of SodaStream International Ltd.
On December 5, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of SodaStream, a manufacturer and distributor of sparkling water makers, for $144.00 per share in cash, in a transaction valued at approximately $3.3 billion. The total consideration transferred was approximately $3.3 billion (or $3.2 billion, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired).
We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. We recognized and measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date include goodwill and other intangible assets of $3.0 billion and property, plant and equipment of $0.2 billion, all of which are recorded in our ESSA segment. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to revisions, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values discussed above as valuations are finalized. We expect to finalize these amounts in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Refranchising in Thailand
During the second quarter of 2018, we refranchised our beverage business in Thailand by selling a controlling interest in our Thailand bottling operations to form a joint venture, where we now have an equity method investment. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $144 million ($126 million after-tax or $0.09 per share) in selling, general and administrative expenses in our AMENA segment as a result of this transaction.
