Hussmann Divestiture
On September 30, 2011, the Company completed a transaction to sell its Hussmann refrigerated display case business to a newly-formed affiliate (Hussmann Parent) of private equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice, LLC (CD&R).  This transaction included the equipment business and certain of the service branches in the U.S. and Canada, and the equipment, service and installation businesses in Mexico, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan (Hussmann Business).  The final transaction allowed Hussmann Parent the option to acquire the remaining North American Hussmann service and installation branches (Hussmann Branches).  Hussmann Parent exercised its option on October 13, 2011.  The Hussmann Business and Branches, which are reported as part of the Climate Solutions segment, manufacture, market, distribute, install, and service refrigerated display merchandising equipment, refrigeration systems, over the counter parts, and other commercial and industrial refrigeration applications.

The Hussmann Business divestiture, which was originally announced on April 21, 2011 and anticipated to be a sale of 100% of the Company's interest in the Hussmann Business, with no retained ongoing interest, met the criteria for classification as held for sale and for treatment as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP during the first and second quarters of 2011. Therefore, the Company reported the Hussmann Business as a discontinued operation, classified the assets and liabilities as held for sale, and recognized $384 million of after-tax impairment losses in the first half of 2011 to write the net assets of the Hussmann Business down to their estimated fair value.  During the third quarter of 2011, the Company negotiated the final terms of a transaction to sell the Hussmann Business and Branches to CD&R in exchange for $370 million in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments, and common stock of Hussmann Parent, such that following the sale, CD&R would own cumulative convertible participating preferred stock of Hussmann Parent, initially representing 60% of the outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis) of Hussmann Parent, and the Company would own all of the common stock, representing the remaining 40% of the outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis) of Hussmann Parent.  At September 30, 2011, the Hussmann Branches met the held for sale criteria outlined in GAAP.  However, the Hussmann Business and Branches did not qualify for treatment as a discontinued operation as the Company's equity interest in the Hussmann Parent represents significant continuing involvement.  Therefore, the results of the Hussmann Business and Branches have been presented as continuing operations beginning with this third quarter 2011 Form 10-Q for all periods presented. 

On September 30, 2011, the Company received consideration of $433 million for the Hussmann Business and Branches, which included cash consideration, after purchase price adjustments, of $354 million as well as the equity interest valued at $79 million.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss on sale/asset impairment charge of $265 million ($171 million after-tax), which reflected net assets of $580 million, an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $85 million, an estimated indemnification obligation assumed of $25 million, and transaction costs of $8 million.

Other Discontinued Operations
On November 30, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its Bobcat, Utility Equipment and Attachments businesses (collectively, Compact Equipment) to Doosan Infracore for gross proceeds of approximately $4.9 billion, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. Compact Equipment manufactured and sold compact equipment, including skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, mini-excavators and telescopic tool handlers; portable air compressors, generators and light towers; general-purpose light construction equipment; and attachments. The Company is in dispute regarding post-closing matters with Doosan Infracore. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company collected approximately $48.3 million of its outstanding receivable from Doosan Infracore related to certain purchase price adjustments. The Company is continuing to pursue other claims against Doosan Infracore.
The Company is a party to a dispute relating to an incentive plan associated with the sale of one of its businesses in 2004. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded $4 million ($6.0 million before tax) and $25 million ($39.5 million before tax) of after-tax charges, respectively, within discontinued operations as a result of certain associated court rulings. The Company disagrees with these rulings and plans to appeal. See Note 18 for additional details regarding this dispute.
The Company also recorded retained costs from previously sold businesses, which are mainly those related to postretirement benefits, product liability and legal costs (mostly asbestos-related).
