The transaction was completed substantially under the original terms announced on April 1, 2008, which called for Church & Dwight to pay $380 million in cash at closing.
The purchase price was financed with a $250 million addition to its bank credit facility and available cash.
"The Orajel brand will be a great addition to the Church & Dwight family," said James R. Craigie, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited to expand our personal care portfolio and strengthen our presence in the strategic oral care category."
As previously announced, the acquisition is expected to have a neutral impact on 2008 earnings per share due primarily to one-time integration costs and the step-up of inventory. "We expect it to be accretive in 2009 and contribute meaningfully to earnings and free cash flow," Mr. Craigie concluded.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. manufactures and markets a wide range of personal care, household and specialty products under the Arm & Hammer brand name and other well-known trademarks.
