Sale of Highway Products Business

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the sale of our highway products business, THP. The sale closed on December 31, 2021, and we received net proceeds of approximately $364.7 million, after certain adjustments and closing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a loss of $1.5 million ($1.1 million, net of income taxes) related to additional transaction costs incurred in the period. We concluded that the sale of THP represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, we have presented the operating results and cash flows of THP as discontinued operations for all periods in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In connection with the sale, Trinity and Rush Hour entered into various agreements to effect the transaction and provide a framework for their relationship after the separation, including a purchase and sale agreement, a transition services agreement, and a lease agreement. The transition services have various durations ranging between one and eighteen months. We have determined that the continuing cash flows generated by these agreements do not constitute significant continuing involvement in the operations of THP. The amount billed for transition services provided under the above agreements is not expected to be material to our results of operations. Additionally, in connection with the sale of THP, the Company has agreed to indemnify Rush Hour for certain liabilities related to the highway products business, including certain liabilities resulting from or arising out of the ET-Plus® System, a highway guardrail end-terminal system (the “ET Plus”). Consequently, results from discontinued operations below include certain legal expenses that were directly attributable to the highway products business, which were previously reported in continuing operations. Similar expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and that may be incurred in the future related to these retained obligations will likewise be reported in discontinued operations. See Note 14 for further information regarding obligations retained in connection with the THP sale.

The following is a summary of THP's operating results included in income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:
