Divestitures and Acquisitions	Note 2. Divestitures and Acquisitions JDE Coffee Business Transactions: On July 2, 2015, we completed transactions to combine our wholly owned coffee businesses with those of D.E Master Blenders 1753 B.V. (“DEMB”) to create a new company, Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”). Following the exchange of a portion of our investment in JDE for an interest in Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”) in March 2016, we held a 26.5% equity interest in JDE. (See discussion under Keurig Transaction below.) The remaining 73.5% equity interest in JDE was held by a subsidiary of Acorn Holdings B.V. (“AHBV,” owner of DEMB prior to July 2, 2015). Following the transactions discussed under JDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements below, as of March 31, 2017, we hold a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.3% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded $18 million of JDE equity earnings and $49 million of cash dividends received, and in the first quarter of 2016, we recorded $47 million of JDE equity earnings. JDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements: On June 30, 2016, we entered into agreements with AHBV and its affiliates to establish a new stock-based compensation arrangement tied to the issuance of JDE equity compensation awards to JDE employees. This arrangement replaced a temporary equity compensation program tied to the issuance of AHBV equity compensation to JDE employees. New Class C, D and E JDE shares were authorized and issued for investments made by, and vested stock-based compensation awards granted to, JDE employees. Under these arrangements, share ownership dilution from the JDE Class C, D and E shareholders is limited to 2%. We retained our 26.5% voting rights and have a slightly lower portion of JDE’s profits and dividends than our shareholder ownership interest as certain employee shareholders receive a slightly larger share. Upon execution of the agreements and the creation of the Class C, D and E JDE shares, as a percentage of the total JDE issued shares, our Class B shares decreased from 26.5% to 26.4% and AHBV’s Class A shares decreased from 73.5% to 73.22%, while the Class C, D and E shares, held by AHBV and its affiliates until the JDE employee awards vest, comprised 0.38% of JDE’s shares. Additional Class C shares are available to be issued when planned long-term incentive plan (“JDE LTIP”) awards vest, generally over the next five years. When the JDE Class C shares are issued in connection with the vested JDE LTIP awards, the Class A and B relative ownership interests will decrease. Based on estimated achievement and forfeiture assumptions, we do not expect our JDE ownership interest to decrease below 26.27%. Keurig Transaction: On March 3, 2016, a subsidiary of AHBV completed a $13.9 billion acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Keurig through a merger transaction. On March 7, 2016, we exchanged with a subsidiary of AHBV a portion of our equity interest in JDE with a carrying value of €1.7 billion (approximately $2.0 billion as of March 7, 2016) for an interest in Keurig with a fair value of $2.0 billion based on the merger consideration per share for Keurig. We recorded the difference between the fair value of Keurig and our basis in JDE shares as a $43 million gain on the equity method investment exchange in March 2016. Immediately following the exchange, our ownership interest in JDE was 26.5% and our interest in Keurig was 24.2%. Both AHBV and we hold our investments in Keurig through a combination of equity and interests in a shareholder loan, with pro-rata ownership of each. Our initial $2.0 billion investment in Keurig includes a $1.6 billion Keurig equity interest and a $0.4 billion shareholder loan receivable, which are reported on a combined basis within equity method investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017. The shareholder loan has a 5.5% interest rate and is payable at the end of a seven-year term on February 27, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Keurig acquisition purchase price allocation was finalized and all related purchase accounting remeasurement updates were reflected in our first quarter 2017 results or prior quarters. In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded Keurig equity earnings of $14 million and shareholder loan interest income of $6 million. We also received $12 million of interest payments on the shareholder loan and $4 million of dividends. In the first quarter of 2016 (since March 7, 2016), we recorded Keurig equity earnings of $8 million and shareholder loan interest income of $2 million that we received in cash in the second quarter of 2016. Other Divestitures and Acquisitions: On April 28, 2017, we completed the sale of several manufacturing facilities in France and the sale or license of several local confectionery brands. The sale price of approximately €185 million ($202 million as of April 28, 2017) takes into account estimated sales price adjustments related to cash, employee-related liabilities and working capital transferred at closing. The sale was subject to E.U. and local regulatory approvals, completion of employee consultation requirements and additional steps to prepare the assets for transfer. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the buyer obtained anti-trust clearance in all markets where it was required and we received the Works Council approval. As of March 31, 2017, the held for sale assets and liabilities consisted of $110 million of current assets, $156 million of non-current assets, $40 million of current liabilities and $26 million of non-current liabilities based on the March 31, 2017 euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate. In March 2017, we recorded €17 million ($18 million as of March 31, 2017) of incremental expenses and an impairment of fixed assets primarily due to an agreed reduction in the sales price. We do not expect a significant impact in the second quarter of 2017 as a result of closing the transaction. In prior periods, we recorded a $14 million impairment charge on March 31, 2016 for a gum & candy trademark as a portion of its carrying value would not be recoverable based on future cash flows expected under a planned license agreement with the buyer. In May 2016, we recorded a $5 million impairment charge for another candy trademark to reduce the overall net assets to the estimated net sales proceeds after transaction costs. On January 18, 2017, we reached an agreement to sell most of our grocery business in Australia and New Zealand to Bega Cheese Limited for approximately $460 million Australian dollars ($351 million as of March 31, 2017). As of March 31, 2017, the asset group to be sold consisted of approximately $25 million of current assets and approximately $125 million of non-current assets based on the March 31, 2017 Australian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate. We expect the transaction to close in mid-2017. On November 2, 2016, we purchased from Burton’s Biscuit Company certain intangibles, which include the license to manufacture, market and sell Cadbury-branded biscuits in additional key markets around the world, including in the U.K., France, Ireland, North America and Saudi Arabia. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Total cash paid for the acquired assets was £199 million ($245 million as of November 2, 2016). We are working to complete the valuation work and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $72 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $155 million to goodwill, $14 million to property, plant and equipment and $4 million to inventory.
