On August 17, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company completed the Atotech Acquisition, through the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Atotech by Atotech Manufacturing, Inc. (“Bidco”), a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Atotech Acquisition was implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under the laws of Jersey (the “Scheme”) pursuant to the definitive agreement entered into by the Company and Atotech on July 1, 2021 (as amended, the “Implementation Agreement”).

Atotech, which the Company operates as MSD, develops leading process and manufacturing technologies for advanced surface modification, electroless and electrolytic plating, and surface finishing. Applying a comprehensive systems-and-solutions approach, Atotech's portfolio includes chemistry, equipment and services for innovative and high-technology applications in a wide variety of end markets. Atotech further broadens the Company’s capabilities by bringing leadership in critical chemistry solutions for electronics and packaging and specialty industrial applications.

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Scheme and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Implementation Agreement, Bidco acquired each issued and outstanding ordinary share of Atotech in exchange for per share consideration of $16.20 in cash and 0.0552 of a share of Company common stock. The Company funded the payment of the aggregate cash consideration with a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds from the Term Loan Facility, as defined in Note 15. As a result of the Atotech Acquisition, the Company issued an aggregate of 10.7 shares of Company common stock to the former Atotech shareholders.

The purchase price of Atotech consisted of the following:


Cash consideration to Atotech stockholders, net	$	2,886
Value of MKS shares issued		1,186
Repayment of Atotech senior secured term loans		1,545
Settlement of accelerated Atotech share-based awards		47
Total purchase price, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired	$	5,664

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Atotech based on their fair values as of the Effective Date, except for contract assets and liabilities, which remain at book value in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Any excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill and none of this goodwill or intangible assets will be deductible for tax purposes. The Company believes the amount of goodwill relative to identifiable intangible assets relates to several factors, including (1) broadening its position in key electronics and industrial markets to offer complementary solutions, and (2) leveraging component and systems expertise to provide robust solutions to meet its customers’ evolving technology needs.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Effective Date inclusive of immaterial measurement period adjustments:


Cash and cash equivalents	$	238
Accounts receivable		283
Inventories		244
Other current assets		104
Property, plant and equipment		381
Intangible assets		2,726
Goodwill		3,054
Other assets		131
Total assets acquired		7,161
Accounts payable		194
Other current liabilities		166
Non-current deferred taxes		719
Non-current accrued compensation		99
Other non-current liabilities		81
Total liabilities assumed		1,259
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed		5,902
Less: Cash and cash equivalents acquired		(238	)
Total purchase price, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired	$	5,664

The fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using the income approach. In performing these valuations, the key underlying assumptions used included the appropriate discount rates as well as forecasted revenue growth rates, gross profit and operating expenses. Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

The valuations were based on the information that was available during the one-year measurement period that existed as of the Effective Date and the expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Company's management. The size and breadth of the Atotech Acquisition necessitated the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess a number of the factors used in establishing the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Effective Date and the related tax impacts of any changes made. The measurement period is now complete.

The following table reflects the allocation of the acquired intangible assets and related estimate of useful lives at the Effective Date:


Customer relationships	$	1,756	11-14 years
Completed technology		595	8-9 years
Trade names		145	16 years
Backlog		40	1.5 years
In-process research and development		190
	$	2,726

The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the economic use of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Upon completion of the related projects, the Company expects the IPR&D intangible asset to be amortized over its estimated useful life of eight to nine years.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded adjustments to balances reported as of, and for the period ended, September 30, 2022, resulting from foreign currency translation of the preliminary allocation of intangible assets and goodwill from the Atotech Acquisition in August 2022 and the related effect on cumulative translation adjustment and deferred tax liabilities. The adjustments recorded were to correct an overstatement of goodwill of $43, intangible assets, net of $56, and non-current deferred tax liabilities of $38, and an understatement of both accumulated OCI and OCI of $61. These adjustments that the Company recorded did not affect net income, earnings per share or the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company assessed these adjustments in accordance with SEC Staff

Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99 and SAB No. 108 and determined they were not material to the interim financial statements taken as a whole.
