Discontinued Operations

On February 12, 2008, Tredegar sold its aluminum extrusions business in Canada for approximately $25.0 million to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital. All historical results for this business have been reflected as discontinued operations; however, cash flows for discontinued operations have not been separately disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows. An accrual of $5.2 million ($5.2 million after taxes) was made for indemnifications under the purchase agreement related to environmental matters in the first quarter of 2013 (none in the first quarter of 2014).
