ROCKWOOD ACQUISITION

        On October 1, 2014, we completed the Rockwood Acquisition. We paid $1.04 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and assumed certain unfunded pension liabilities in connection with the Rockwood Acquisition. The acquisition was financed using a bank term loan. The majority of the acquired businesses have been integrated into our Pigments and Additives segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were $24 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

        The following businesses were acquired from Rockwood:

titanium dioxide, a white pigment derived from titanium bearing ores with strong specialty business in fibers, inks, pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics;

functional additives made from barium and zinc based inorganics used to make colors more brilliant, primarily in plastics, coatings, films, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and paper;

color pigments made from synthetic iron-oxide and other non-TiO2 inorganic pigments used by manufacturers of coatings and colorants;

timber treatment wood protection chemicals used primarily in residential and commercial applications;

water treatment products used to improve water purity in industrial, commercial and municipal applications; and

specialty automotive molded components.

        In connection with securing certain regulatory approvals required to complete the Rockwood Acquisition, we sold our TiO2 TR52 product line used in printing inks to Henan in December 2014. The sale did not include any manufacturing assets but does include an agreement to supply TR52 product to Henan during a transitional period.

        We have accounted for the Rockwood Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

        The acquisition cost allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including final valuation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, asset retirement obligations, and environmental and other legal reserves, and finalizing the expected purchase price adjustment receivable. None of the fair value of this acquisition was allocated to goodwill. It is possible that changes to this allocation could occur. The acquired businesses had revenues and net loss of $330 million and $2 million, respectively, for the period from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2014. If the Rockwood Acquisition were to have occurred on January 1, 2013, the following estimated pro forma revenues and net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International would have been reported (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

OXID ACQUISITION

        On August 29, 2013, we completed the Oxid Acquisition. The acquisition cost of approximately $76 million consists of cash payments of approximately $66 million and contingent consideration of $10 million. The contingent consideration relates to an earn-out agreement which will be paid over two years if certain conditions are met. Related to this earn-out agreement, $6 million was paid during 2014 and the balance has been paid in 2015. The acquired business has been integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were not significant.

        We have accounted for the Oxid Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

TEXTILE EFFECTS ACQUISITION

        On June 30, 2006, we acquired Ciba's textile effects business and accounted for the Textile Effects Acquisition using the purchase method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and determined the excess of fair value of net assets over cost. Because the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed exceeded the purchase price, the value of the long-lived assets acquired was reduced to zero. Accordingly, no basis was assigned to property, plant and equipment or any other non-current nonfinancial assets and the remaining excess was recorded as an extraordinary gain. During 2012, we recorded an additional extraordinary gain on the acquisition of $2 million, related to settlement of contingent purchase price consideration, the reversal of accruals for certain restructuring and employee termination costs recorded in connection with the Textile Effects Acquisition and a reimbursement by Ciba of certain costs pursuant to the acquisition agreements.
