Acquisitions

On September 11, 2014, the Company acquired the remaining 39% interest of Santal Equipamentos S.A. Comércio e Indústria (“Santal”) for approximately R$9.0 million (or approximately $3.7 million). Santal is headquartered in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, and manufactures and distributes sugar cane planting, harvesting, handling and transportation equipment as well as replacement parts across Brazil. Due to the fact that the Company and the seller each had a call option and put option, respectively, with varying dates with respect to the remaining 39% interest in Santal, the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest had previously been recorded within “Temporary equity” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The acquisition of the remaining interest was funded with available cash on hand. The redemption and related amounts settled were reflected in “Additional paid-in capital” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
    
On August 1, 2014, the Company acquired Intersystems Holdings, Inc. (“Intersystems”) for approximately $134.4 million, net of cash acquired of approximately $4.1 million (or approximately $130.3 million, net). Intersystems, headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, designs and manufactures commercial material handling solutions, primarily for the agricultural, biofuels and food and feed processing industries. The acquisition was financed with available cash on hand and the Company’s credit facility (Note 7). The Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquired net assets primarily consisted of accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses, property, plant and equipment, and customer relationship, technology and trademark identifiable intangible assets. The Company recorded approximately $46.3 million of customer relationship, technology and trademark identifiable intangible assets and approximately $89.6 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition. The goodwill was reported within the Company’s North American geographical reportable segment. The results of operations of Intersystems have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and from the date of acquisition.

The acquired identifiable intangible assets of Intersystems as of the date of the acquisition are summarized in the following table (in millions):
