(B) ACQUISITIONS

On August 2, 2019, we acquired the assets of a readymix concrete and aggregates business (the ConAgg Acquisition). The purchase price (Purchase Price) of the ConAgg Acquisition was approximately $30.4 million. The purchase price allocation has not yet been finalized. The Purchase Price and expenses incurred in connection with the ConAgg Acquisition were funded through operating cash flows and borrowings under our bank credit facility. Operations related to the ConAgg Acquisition are included in the Concrete and Aggregates business in our segment reporting from August 2, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

 

Pending Acquisition

On November 25, 2019, we entered into an agreement (the Kosmos Acquisition) with Kosmos Cement Company (a joint venture between CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V. and Buzzi Unicem S.p.A.) (Kosmos) to purchase (i) a cement plant located in Louisville, Kentucky, (ii) a limestone quarry located in Battletown, Kentucky, (iii) cement distribution terminals located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Cincinnati, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Charleston, West Virginia; Ceredo, West Virginia; Mt. Vernon, Indiana; and Lexington, Kentucky, and (iv) certain other properties and assets used by Kosmos in connection with the foregoing (collectively, the Kosmos Business). We will assume certain liabilities and obligations of Kosmos relating to the Kosmos Business, including contractual obligations, reclamation obligations, and various other liabilities and obligations arising out of or relating to the Kosmos Business after the closing of the transaction.  

The purchase price (Kosmos Purchase Price) to be paid in the transaction is $665 million in cash, subject to a customary post-closing inventory adjustment. We expect to fund the Purchase Price and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and a syndicated term loan facility. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Kosmos Business will be included in the Cement business in our segment reporting.
