Acquisitions and Dispositions | 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions ​ Acquisition of Benepack European Production Facilities ​ In January 2026, the company acquired an 80 percent capital share of Benepack’s European beverage can manufacturing business from ORG Technology Co. Ltd. (ORG). ORG retained a 20 percent ownership interest in the business. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The business includes two manufacturing facilities, one in Belgium and one in Hungary, and is included in Ball’s beverage packaging, EMEA, segment. The investment further optimizes the company’s European manufacturing network as the facilities are well positioned to serve the growing demand of customers for sustainable packaging in the region. ​ The initial accounting for the acquisition is incomplete as of March 31, 2026, as such the purchase price allocation recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet is provisional and based upon preliminary estimates. ​ The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Benepack’s European beverage can manufacturing business and the preliminary amounts assigned for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date: ​
