During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed one acquisition which has been integrated into the ADI Global Distribution segment. On February 10, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of privately held Herman ProAV, a leading provider and distributer of professional audio-visual products, procurement services and labor resources to systems integrators in the commercial audio-visual industry. The purchase price paid for this acquisition was approximately $36 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recognized goodwill and intangible assets of $4 million and $18 million, respectively. This acquisition was integrated into and builds upon ADI Global Distribution’s product portfolio and expands its presence in the pro-AV market. The Herman ProAV acquisition agreements include deferred payments for certain individuals that are contingent upon employment as well as financial performance. The Company determined that these deferred payments are accounted for as compensation expense over the requisite service period.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed three acquisitions which have been integrated into the Products & Solutions segment. On March 28, 2019, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Buoy Labs primarily to obtain the technology assets. Buoy provides innovative Wi-Fi enabled solutions that track the amount of water used in a home, integrating smart software and hardware that can help consumers identify potential leaks and allow consumers to act to prevent them through its subscription-based app services. On May 21, 2019, the Company acquired certain assets relating to innovative energy efficiency from Whisker Labs. The acquired technology creates a thermodynamic model of a home to accurately predict home heating and air conditioning run time and energy use to enable a homeowner to use less energy while maintaining comfort. On June 27, 2019, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of LifeWhere. LifeWhere uses machine learning and analytics to predict potential failure on critical home appliances, such as water heaters, furnaces, and air conditioners. This service provides the detailed analytics required for professional contractors to dispatch technicians with the right skills to quickly repair the appliance before it causes catastrophic failure. The aggregate purchase price paid for these acquisitions was $17 million. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recognized goodwill and intangible assets of $10 million and $7 million, respectively.
