NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 15, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of Advanced Steel Recovery, LLC ("ASR"), a supplier of recycled ferrous metals located in Southern California, for a cash purchase price of approximately $48 million, net of cash acquired. ASR's primary operations include processing and brokering capabilities that source material for sale into both the domestic and export markets. ASR handles approximately 300,000 tons of scrap annually across its processing, industrial collection and brokerage platforms. The ASR acquisition is not material to the Company's 2022 financial position or results of operations, and therefore, pro forma operating results and other disclosures for the acquisition are not presented.
