On February 1, 2019, Pathway Inc., a U.S. company, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Superbarn Supermarkets, an Australian chain, for A$150 million in cash. Superbarns assets and liabilities were reported at amounts approximating fair value, but it had previously unrecorded intangible assets (5-year life, straight-line) valued at A$10 million.
