(3)GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we acquired 100% of the share capital of Pearl Investment AG and its key operating subsidiary André Koch AG, a long-time refinish products distribution partner in Switzerland, which resulted in a net cash outflow on the closing date of $106.1 million, and is subject to contingent consideration arrangements of $5.6 million, which are discussed further in Note 19. The fair value associated with definite-lived intangible assets was $79.0 million, comprising $67.7 million of customer relationships and $11.3 million of trademarks. We have not finalized the related purchase accounting related to the acquisition and the amounts recorded represent preliminary values. We expect to finalize our purchase accounting during the respective measurement period, which will be no later than one year following the closing date.
