Schedule of Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price

The following table presents the final allocation of purchase price related to the Whirlpool China and Indesit acquisitions, as of their respective dates of acquisition. Adjustments made to the opening balance sheet in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 include an $8 million increase to Whirlpool China's goodwill resulting primarily from a reassessment of deferred tax assets, a $296 million increase to Indesit's goodwill primarily reflecting the recognition of a corrective action on certain heritage Indesit products, a revaluation of current and deferred tax liabilities, an increase in trade partner incentives, and an increase in environmental liabilities. Additional information about the corrective action can be found in Note 7 in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. In addition, we have performed certain balance sheet reclassifications between notes payable and other current liabilities and between accounts payable and other current liabilities, in order to conform to Whirlpool's financial statement presentation. The effect of these adjustments would not have a material impact to net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 if they would have been previously recognized as of the acquisition date.
