Effectively on March 13, 2012, we entered into an agreement to acquire 100% equity ownership of VE Newco, LLC ("Vivendi"), the former Vivendi Entertainment division of Universal Music Group Distribution, Corp., for cash of $13.4 million plus an adjustment for Vivendi's net working capital. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of March 2012, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Vivendi is the 7th largest non-theatrical and 6th largest fitness media distributor in the nation, with exclusive distribution rights with dozens of media producers, including several large independent studios. After the consummation of the acquisition, we will be the 3rd largest non-theatrical media distributor in the United States and with this market share, we anticipate other opportunities for growth in the media distribution market. We expect to realize significant synergies from this acquisition, such as reduced third-party distribution, post-production, and digital distribution costs, and improved productivity.
