Acquisition of McLain & Kyne

 

On October 12, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of McLain & Kyne. Under the McLain & Kyne purchase agreement, as amended, the Company paid contingent consideration to the sellers based on the financial performance of certain assets of the acquired business through March 31, 2011. The Company is also required to pay contingent consideration, based on the case sales of Jefferson’s Presidential Select bourbon for a specified amount of cases, rather than a fixed period of time. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the sellers earned $123,660 and $82,548, respectively, under the agreement. The contingent consideration payments have been recorded as an increase to goodwill.
