DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 9, 2015, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to divest four product categories which will be merged with Coty. The divestiture was initially comprised of 43 of the Company's beauty brands (“Beauty Brands”), including the global salon professional hair care and color, retail hair color, cosmetics and fine fragrance businesses, along with select hair styling brands. Subsequent to signing, the fine fragrance brands of Dolce & Gabbana and Christina Aguilera were excluded from the divestiture. In connection with the decision to exclude these brands, the Company recorded a non-cash, before-tax impairment charge in discontinued operations of approximately $48 ($42 after tax) in fiscal 2016 in order to record the Dolce & Gabbana license intangible asset at its revised estimated net realizable value. On May 11, 2016, the Company entered into a separate transaction to sell the Christina Aguilera brand prior to or concurrent with the expected close date of the Coty transaction. On June 30, 2016, Dolce & Gabbana and the Shiseido Group announced the signing of the worldwide license agreement for the Dolce & Gabbana beauty business. The Company will transition out of the Dolce & Gabbana license upon the effectiveness of the new license, which is expected to occur prior to or concurrent with the expected close of the Coty transaction. In connection with this transition, the Company agreed to pay a termination payment of $83 ($76 after tax). This termination payment charge is included in discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2016.

While the ultimate form of the Beauty Brands transaction has not yet been decided, the Company’s current preference is for a Reverse Morris Trust split-off transaction in which P&G shareholders could elect to participate in an exchange offer to exchange their P&G shares for shares of a new corporation that would hold the Beauty Brands (excluding Dolce & Gabbana and Christina Aguilera) and then immediately exchange those shares for Coty shares. The Company expects to close the transaction in October 2016.

Coty’s offer for the Beauty Brands, which was accepted by the Company, was $12.5 billion. The final value of the transaction will be determined at closing. Based on Coty’s stock price and outstanding shares and equity grants as of June 30, 2016, the value of the transaction was approximately $13.1 billion. The value is comprised of approximately 411 million shares, or 54% of the diluted equity of the newly combined company, valued at approximately $10.7 billion and the assumption of debt of $2.4 billion by the entity holding the Beauty Brands (excluding Dolce & Gabbana and Christina Aguilera) immediately prior to close of the transaction. The assumed debt is expected to vary between $3.9 billion and $1.9 billion, depending on a $22.06 to $27.06 per share collar of Coty’s stock based on the trading price prior to the close of the transaction, but will be subject to other contractual valuation adjustments.

In February 2016, the Company completed the divestiture of its Batteries business to Berkshire Hathaway (BH) via a split transaction, in which the Company exchanged the Duracell Company, which the Company had infused with additional cash, to repurchase all 52.5 million shares of P&G stock owned by BH. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded non-cash, before-tax goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment charges of $402 ($350 after tax), to reduce the Batteries carrying value to the total estimated proceeds based on the value of BH’s shares in P&G stock at the time of the impairment charges (see Note 4). The Company recorded an after-tax gain on the final transaction of $422 to reflect a subsequent increase in the final value of the BH’s shares in P&G stock. The total value of the transaction was $4.2 billion representing the value of the Duracell business and the cash infusion. The cash infusion of $1.7 billion was reflected as a purchase of treasury stock.

On July 31, 2014, the Company completed the divestiture of its Pet Care operations in North America, Latin America, and other selected countries to Mars, Incorporated (Mars) for $2.9 billion in an all-cash transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Mars acquired our branded pet care products, our manufacturing sites in the United States and the majority of the employees working in the Pet Care business. The agreement included an option for Mars to acquire the Pet Care business in several additional countries, which was also completed in fiscal 2015. The European Union countries were not included in the agreement with Mars.

In December 2014, the Company completed the divestiture of its Pet Care operations in Western Europe to Spectrum Brands in an all-cash transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Spectrum Brands acquired our branded pet care products, our manufacturing site in the Netherlands and the majority of the employees working in the Western Europe Pet Care business. The one-time after-tax impact of these transactions is not material.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the Beauty Brands, Batteries and Pet Care businesses are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, the Beauty Brands, Batteries and Pet Care businesses' balance sheet positions are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Beauty Brands were historically part of the Company's Beauty reportable segment. The Batteries business was historically part of the Company's Fabric & Home Care reportable segment. The Pet Care business was historically part of the Company's Health Care reportable segment.

On July 1, 2015, the Company adopted ASU 2014-08, which included new reporting and disclosure requirements for discontinued operations. The new requirements are effective for discontinued operations occurring on or after the adoption date, which includes the Beauty Brands divestiture.
