The total purchase price of US$18.5 million included a US$2.0 million deposit on signing paid in the second quarter of 2011 with the remaining balance paid on closing.
The new venture is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings, which will be reflected in the Company’s 2011 fourth quarter results.
