On December 3, 2018, we acquired CaseStack. Total consideration for the transaction was $252.9 million, which included $249.4 million in cash, of which $248.7 million was paid in December 2018 and $0.7 million in April 2019. There was also a deferred purchase consideration of $3.5 million. The deferred purchase consideration is included in Accrued Other in our Consolidated Balance Sheet and is being paid equally over twenty-four months.

The acquisition of CaseStack expanded our logistics service offering to include transportation and warehousing consolidation solutions for consumer packaged goods companies selling into the North American retail channel. The acquisition also added scale to our truck brokerage service offering, particularly in the less-than-truckload segment of the market.

The CaseStack acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of December 3, 2018 with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized in the CaseStack acquisition was primarily attributable to potential expansion and future development of the acquired business.
