2021 Acquisitions

On September 1, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of RELiON Battery, LLC ("RELiON"). RELiON is a global provider of lithium batteries and related products to multiple industry sectors. The acquisition of RELiON complements our existing portfolio of advanced battery and power management brands. On September 17, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of SemahTronix, a global supplier of high-complexity electrical wiring harnesses for advanced products in the marine, mobile, and defense industries. The acquisition of the SemahTronix assets enhances our integrated systems offerings by providing our ASG Connect organization and our global customers with access to high-quality, large, complex electrical wire harnessing systems that further enable our end-to-end systems solutions and capabilities. These acquisitions are included as part of the Parts & Accessories segment.

On July 9, 2021, the Company acquired Fanautic Club, one of the largest European boat clubs with 23 locations in major coastal cities and tourist centers across Spain. The Company also acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights in the United States during the first nine months of 2021. Acquiring such assets enables Brunswick to accelerate growth by increasing its investments in these markets. These acquisitions are included as part of the Company's Boat segment.

The Company paid net cash consideration of $50.3 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets, which are preliminary and subject to change within the measurement period as the Company finalizes the purchase price allocation and fair value estimates, include $26.9 million of goodwill and $21.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships and trade names of $14.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions of $0.5 million and $1.5 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, respectively. The acquisitions are not material to our net sales, results of operations or total assets during any period presented. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results are not presented.
