Telford Acquisition

On October 1, 2019, we acquired Telford Homes Plc (Telford) to expand our real estate development business outside of the U.S. (Telford Acquisition). A leading developer of multifamily residential properties in the London area, Telford is reported in our Real Estate Investments segment. Telford shareholders received £3.50 per share in cash, valuing Telford at £267.1 million, or $328.5 million as of the acquisition date.

The preliminary purchase accounting related to the Telford Acquisition has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (with no significant changes made in 2020). The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded to goodwill. The goodwill arising from the Telford Acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations acquired from Telford with ours. We are currently assessing if any portion of the goodwill recorded in connection with the Telford Acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes, but do not expect any tax deductible goodwill to be significant. Given the complexity of the transaction, the calculation of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired, primarily income tax items, is still preliminary. The purchase price allocation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
