5.	Acquisition

On April 6, 2017, we acquired the outstanding capital stock of IP Cleaning S.p.A. and its subsidiaries ("IPC Group") for a purchase price of $353,769, net of cash acquired of $8,804. The primary seller was Ambienta SGR S.p.A., a European private equity fund. IPC Group, based in Italy, is a designer and manufacturer of innovative professional cleaning equipment, cleaning tools and supplies. The acquisition strengthens our presence and market share in Europe and allows us to better leverage our EMEA cost structure. We funded the acquisition of IPC Group, along with related fees, including refinancing of existing debt, with funds raised through borrowings under a senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $420,000. Further details regarding our acquisition financing arrangements are discussed in Note 8.

The following table summarizes the final fair value measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:

Based on the final fair value measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we allocated $152,472 to goodwill for the expected synergies from combining IPC Group with our existing business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. In connection with the finalization of the fair value measurements in the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a measurement period adjustment, which increased goodwill by $4,627 with offsetting adjustments to various income tax assets and liabilities.

The final fair value of the acquired intangible assets is $159,445. The expected lives of the acquired amortizable intangible assets are approximately 15 years for customer lists, 10 years for trade names and 10 years for technology. Trade names are being amortized on a straight-line basis while the customer lists and technology are being amortized on an accelerated basis. We recorded amortization expense of $5,486 and $11,023 in Selling and Administrative Expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for these acquired intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
