4.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

 

IT Infrastructure Management business (“ITO”)

 

On May 20, 2015, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its ITO business to Charlesbank Capital Partners and M/C Partners.  The sale was completed on July 31, 2015.  Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company began reporting the results of operations, cash flows, and the balance sheet amounts pertaining to ITO as a component of discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.  Prior to the discontinued operations classification, the ITO business unit was included in the IT Infrastructure Management segment in the Company’s segment results.

 

At the closing of the transaction, the Company received total consideration of $131.0 million ($140.0 million stated sales price less closing adjustments and transaction costs of $9.0 million). The Company may also receive up to a maximum of $50 million in contingent payments in future periods through 2020 subject to certain conditions.  Due to the uncertainty of contingent payments, income will be recorded upon resolution of the contingency as a component of income from discontinued operations.  In addition, the Company has the right to participate in distributions of the divested entity above a defined amount. The Company reported a gain of $9.3 million on the sale which is included in earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax.

 

The Company also entered into an agreement to amend its credit agreement (see Note 9 — Long-Term Debt).  The effectiveness of the amendments contained in the agreement were conditioned on, among other things, the closing of the ITO disposition.  Once the ITO disposition was completed and the amendment became fully effective, certain financial covenants in the credit agreement were modified for the quarters ending on September 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016.  Additionally the Company is not entitled to declare or pay any dividends during this time and share repurchases will be limited to no more than $100 million depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.  After March 31, 2016, the financial covenants and dividend and share repurchase limitations will return to the requirements in the credit agreement in effect prior to the amendment.  In addition, the amendment revised certain definitions in the credit agreement to clarify the effect of acquisitions and dispositions on certain financial covenants.

 

On July 31, 2015, the Company applied $55.0 million of proceeds from the sale to repay outstanding Company indebtedness in order to comply with the Company’s existing credit agreement (see Note 9 — Long-Term Debt).  The Company allocated interest expense associated with the $55.0 million repayment of Company indebtedness to the ITO discontinued operating business.  Allocated interest expense was $0.4 million, $1.3 million, and $1.7 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We used the remaining proceeds from the sale to fund expansion of its common stock repurchase program and for general corporate purposes.

 

Summary results of operations of ITO for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are segregated and included in earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of operations.  The following table is a reconciliation of the major classes of line items constituting earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax (dollars in thousands):
