2. Acquisitions:

Value Lighting - On April 17, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Value Lighting, a supplier of lighting solutions to the multifamily residential market. The purchase consideration aggregated $39.3 million and consisted of cash of $10.6 million funded with a loan from an affiliate, an unconditional obligation to issue an aggregate of 8,468,192 shares of common stock in four installments at six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months from the acquisition date, valued at $20.9 million, and contingent consideration payable in cash or common stock at the option of the Company aggregating up to a total of $11 million, valued at $7.8 million, if certain revenue and EBITDA targets are achieved by Value Lighting during 2014 and 2015. The purchase price has been reduced by $0.1 million based on the closing working capital. The Company acquired Value Lighting for its presence in the multifamily residential and construction markets, the experience of the management team, its customer base, operational and business development synergies.

Value Lighting achieved its 2014 performance targets, and as a result, during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 4.9 million shares of its common stock (valued at $5.5 million) in payment of 2014 contingent purchase consideration.
