Spin-Off Transaction
Spin-Off Transaction
On December 1, 2013 (the Distribution Date), the Company completed the previously announced separation (the spin-off) of its commercial and residential security businesses by distributing the related ordinary shares of Allegion plc (Allegion), on a pro rata basis, to the Company's shareholders of record as of November 22, 2013 (the Record Date). After the Distribution Date, Allegion became an independent publicly traded company.
The results of our commercial and residential security businesses are presented as a discontinued operation in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The equity activity of the commercial and residential security businesses is included within the Company's equity through December 1, 2013. Except where otherwise noted, all disclosures in the related footnotes represent the results of continuing operations.
In connection with the spin-off of Allegion, the Company and Allegion entered into several agreements covering administrative and tax matters to provide or obtain services on a transitional basis, as needed, for varying periods after the spin-off. The administrative agreements cover various services such as information technology, human resources and finance. The Company expects all services to be substantially complete within one year after the spin-off.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred $11.0 million of professional service fees related to the spin-off. These costs are reported within Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
