2024 Acquisitions
(a)Entrepôt du Nord
On February 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Entrepôt du Nord Inc. and 2957-8002 Quebec Inc. (collectively “EDN”) through a share purchase agreement for $60 million in cash consideration. EDN owns and operates a temperature controlled warehouse facility near Montreal in Quebec, Canada. Inclusive of measurement period adjustments, the Company has preliminarily assigned the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including $36 million of property, plant, and equipment, $19 million of customer relationships intangible assets, $1 million of cash, $1 million of net working capital assets, $12 million of deferred tax liabilities, and $15 million of goodwill. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments relating to updated fair value estimates of acquired property, plant, and equipment, customer relationships intangible assets, and deferred income tax liabilities, which resulted in a $7 million decrease to goodwill.
The goodwill associated with this acquisition is primarily attributable to the strategic benefits of strengthening the Company’s warehousing network in Canada and is attributable to the Company’s Global Warehousing segment. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is not amortizable for income tax purposes. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 include the results of operations for this business since the date of acquisition.

On May 22, 2024 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a cold storage facility in Western Australia. The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
(c)Eurofrigor
On June 28, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Eurofrigor S.r.l. Magazzini Generali (“Eurofrigor”) through a quota purchase agreement for approximately $17 million ($14 million net of cash acquired).

The primary areas of acquisition accounting that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of all acquired real estate assets, intangible assets, and related income tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, and actual values may materially differ from the preliminary estimates.
