Results of Discontinued Operations

Following the divestment of the Company’s DERMAGRAFT business in January 2014, the operating results associated with the DERMAGRAFT business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $20.2 million (net of tax expense of $11.6 million) primarily related to the release of escrow to Shire and legal contingencies related to the divested DERMAGRAFT business.

In January 2017, Shire entered into a final settlement agreement with the Department of Justice ("DOJ") in the amount of $350.0 million, plus interest which was accrued in 2016. Shire paid $345.5 million of the settlement amount during three months ended March 31, 2017 and anticipates the remaining payment will be made in the second quarter of 2017.

After the civil settlement with the DOJ had been finalized, Shire and ABH’s equity holders entered into a settlement agreement and ABH’s equity holders released the $37.5 million escrow to Shire. Shire released the claims against ABH equity holders upon receiving the entire amount held in escrow.

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2016, the Company recorded a gain of $9.5 million (net of tax expense of $5.5 million) related to costs associated with the divestment.
