In August 2017, we acquired our partner’s interest in certain joint ventures in Brazil for an aggregate price of R$1.2 billion ($381.7 million).

We accounted for the transaction as a step-acquisition under the business combination rules and recognized a gain.

While the preliminary purchase price allocation is substantially complete, the valuation of the real estate properties is still being finalized.
