ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS The following table summarizes the Company’s acquisition activity in 2014 and 2013 (Dollars in millions):
Segment |  | # of Acquisitions |  |  | Purchase Price, net of Cash |  |  | Tangible Assets, net |  |  | Intangible Assets |  |  | Goodwill |
Total 2014 Acquisitions |  |  | 2 |  |  | $ | 53.5 |  |  |  | 2.1 |  |  |  | 14.0 |  |  |  | 34.4 |

Note: Purchase price, net of cash acquired, represents cash paid in the period of each acquisition and does not include assumed debt, subsequent payments for deferred purchase adjustments or earn-out provisions. The Company completed two acquisitions and one divestiture during the nine months ended July 31, 2014. One acquisition was in the Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segment in November and the other acquisition was in the Paper Packaging segment in November. The rigid industrial packaging acquisition is expected to complement the Company’s existing product lines and provide growth opportunities and economies of scale. The paper packaging acquisition was made in part to obtain technologies, equipment, and customer lists. The divestiture included a nonstrategic business in the Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segment in July and resulted in a non-cash loss on sale of $9.1 million, which includes the write-off of allocated goodwill. The Company sold membership units of a consolidated subsidiary in March 2014. The Company completed no acquisitions and no material divestitures for the nine months ended July 31, 2013. The Company has allocated purchase price as of the dates of acquisition based upon its understanding, obtained during due diligence and through other sources, of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including through asset appraisals and learning more about the newly acquired business, the Company may refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately; however, any such revisions are not expected to be significant. Pro Forma Information In accordance with ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combination,” the Company has considered the effect of the 2014 acquisitions on the consolidated statements of income for each period presented. The revenue and operating profit of the 2014 acquisitions included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income totaled $6.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and totaled $19.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended July 31, 2014. All of the 2014 acquisitions were of companies not listed on a stock exchange or not otherwise publicly traded or not required to provide public financial information. Pro forma results of operations for the periods ending July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not materially different from reported results and, consequently, are not presented.
