SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	30. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS A quarterly dividend of $.60 per share was declared at the Board of Directors meeting on December 6, 2017, payable on February 1, 2018 to stockholders of record on December 29, 2017. On December 1, 2017, the company acquired the stock and certain assets of substantially all of Wirtgen Group Holding GmbH’s (Wirtgen) business operations. Wirtgen, which was a privately-held international company, is the leading manufacturer worldwide of road construction equipment. Headquartered in Germany, Wirtgen has six brands across the road construction sector spanning processing, mixing, paving, compaction, and rehabilitation. Wirtgen sells products in more than 100 countries and has approximately 8,200 employees. The total cash purchase price was €4,475 million (or approximately US $5,327 million based on the exchange rate at the closing date), a portion of which has been held in escrow to secure certain indemnity obligations of Wirtgen. In addition to the purchase price, the company assumed substantially all liabilities of Wirtgen. The company financed the acquisition and the transaction expenses from a combination of cash and new debt financing. Wirtgen will be included in the company’s construction and forestry operating segment. Due to the recent closing of the acquisition, the formal process necessary to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities has not been completed. The purchase price allocation and proforma results of operations will be completed as soon as practicable within the measurement period. In November 2017, the company’s financial services operations entered into a retail note securitization using its bank conduit facility that resulted in securitization borrowings of approximately $985 million.
