(a)Upon acquisition, certain NDS entities met the held-for-sale criteria. The Company accordingly classified the associated assets acquired and liabilities assumed as held for sale.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the preliminary purchase price allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation for assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and will be finalized when valuations are complete and final assessments of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities are completed. Such finalization may result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company's estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the closing date), as the Company continues to finalize the valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
