In addition, we acquired related information technology assets used by the Global Commodities Group and certain contracts related to such information technology assets.
We paid $419.5 million in cash to Prudential Financial. Assets acquired totaled approximately $5.2 billion and we assumed approximately $4.8 billion in liabilities of the Global Commodities Group. Such amounts are based on the Global Commodities Group’s May 31, 2011 balance sheet and are subject to adjustments based on the Global Commodities Group’s June 30, 2011 balance sheet. Such amounts will also be subject to acquisition accounting adjustments which will not affect the purchase price.
