On February 28, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets of G&L Tool, Ltd. (“G&L”) for total consideration of $58.5 million in cash. This acquisition provided an entry into the rental and fishing tool market and operates within our completion and remedial line of business. The purchase agreement also contained an earn-out agreement based on annual EBITDA targets. The cash used to acquire G&L was primarily from borrowings under our senior credit facility.

 

 

On February 28, 2006, Basic acquired substantially all of the assets of G&L Tool, Ltd. (“G&L”) for $58.5 million plus a contingent earn-out payment not to exceed $21.0 million. The contingent earn-out payment will be equal to fifty percent of the amount by which the annual EBITDA (as defined in the purchase agreement) earned by the G&L assets exceeds an annual targeted EBITDA. There is no guarantee or assurance that the targeted EBITDA will be reached. This acquisition provided a platform to expand into the rental and fishing tool market. The cost of the G&L acquisition was allocated $40.8 million to property and equipment, $5.2 million to inventory, $12.5 million to goodwill, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and $51,000 to non-compete agreements.

During the year, an adjustment was made to the purchase price allocation which increased the value of inventory by $5.2 million and reduced fixed assets and goodwill by $3.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. This allocation adjustment was made as a result of an increase to the fair market value of the asset and the increased ability for tracking certain assets obtained in the acquisition.
