On  July 15, 2016, the Company acquired  Dejana. The Dejana purchase agreement includes contingent consideration in the form of an earnout capped at $26,000. Under the earnout agreement, the former owners of Dejana are entitled to receive payments contingent upon the revenue growth and financial performance of the acquired business for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018.  The preliminary estimated fair value of the earnout consideration was $10,200 which was further adjusted at December 31, 2016 to $10,373 as a result of the 2016 performance exceeding the 2016 fair value established at the opening balance sheet by $173. Based on the year ended December 31, 2016 results, the new possible range of outcomes was reduced from $26,000 to a maximum earnout of $21,487.
