14.                            Dissolution of Strategic Partnership

 

In November 2012, the Company dissolved its strategic partnership with Sandvik Materials Technology (“Sandvik”).  Prior to the dissolution of the strategic partnership, the Company owned a 40 percent interest in Sandvik Powdermet AB, which the Company accounted for as an equity method investment. In addition, Sandvik owned a 40 percent interest in Carpenter Powder Products AB which has historically been reported as a noncontrolling interest. Under the terms of the dissolution agreement, the Company received $7.9 million of proceeds from the sale of its investment in Sandvik Powdermet AB and paid $8.4 million to repurchase the shares of Carpenter Products AB from Sandvik.  During the quarter ended, December 31, 2012, the dissolution resulted in a $1.9 million gain related to the sale of the investment in Sandvik Powdermet. No gain or loss was recognized related to the repurchase of the Carpenter Powder Products AB shares.
