In the period following December 31, 2014 but before the filing date of this Annual Report, Roper acquired Strata Decision Technology LLC, a provider of planning and budget software for health care providers and Softwriters Inc., a provider of long-term care pharmacy operating software. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was $360 million, paid in cash. Roper purchased the companies to expand upon existing medical platforms. Purchase accounting has not been completed as of the filing date, and no supplemental pro forma data has been provided as the acquisitions are immaterial both individually and in aggregate.
