From time to time, we acquire and invest in companies throughout the world, including franchises. The total cash consideration for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, for the nine months ended September 30 was $32.1 and $260.6 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

On September 22, 2011, we acquired approximately 70% of the shares and voting rights of Proservia SA, a provider of information technology and systems engineering solutions in France. We acquired most of the remaining shares and voting rights on November 2, 2011. The purchase price was €14.89 per share. As of September 30, 2011, we have not completed the purchase accounting associated with this acquisition.

Total consolidated amortization expense for intangible assets related to acquisitions for the remainder of 2011 is expected to be $10.0 and in each of the next five years is expected to be as follows: 2012- $35.9, 2013 - $31.1, 2014 - $25.9, 2015 - $22.6 and 2016 - $19.4.
