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 purchase accounting related to the Telford Acquisition has been finalized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (with no significant changes made in 2020 to the preliminary purchase accounting recorded in 2019). 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. The goodwill recorded in connection with the Telford Acquisition that is deductible for tax purposes was not significant.
