Taminco Corporation

On December 5, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Taminco, a global specialty chemical company. The fair value of total consideration transferred was $2.8 billion, consisting of cash of $1.7 billion, net of cash acquired, and repayment of Taminco's debt of $1.1 billion. Taminco's former specialty amines and crop protection businesses are now operated as part of the Additives & Functional Products ("AFP") segment and its former functional amines business are now operated as part of the Specialty Fluids & Intermediates ("SFI") segment. For the preliminary purchase price allocation see Note 2, "Acquisitions", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During third quarter 2015, the Company continued to refine its preliminary purchase price allocation with no adjustments to goodwill. As of September 30, 2015, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as management completes its assessment of certain items, primarily environmental, legal, and tax. The purchase price allocation will be finalized in fourth quarter 2015. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Taminco acquisition. Any subsequent adjustments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recognized goodwill equal to the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

In third quarter and first nine months 2015, the Company recognized $1 million and $5 million, respectively in integration costs related to the acquisition. In 2014, the Company recognized $7 million in pre-close transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition. Integration and transaction costs were expensed as incurred and are included in the "Selling, general and administrative expenses" line item in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings. As required by purchase accounting, acquired inventories were marked to fair value. In first six months 2015, the remaining portion of these inventories was sold resulting in an increase in cost of sales of $7 million.

Beginning in December 2014, the Company's consolidated results of operations included the results of Commonwealth. Based on applicable accounting and reporting guidance, the acquisition is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements; therefore, pro forma financial information has not been presented.
