Divestiture

On December 20, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement ("SPA") with the Kajo Neukirchen Group ("KNG") to sell the Seeger business, consisting of partnership interests and shares, respectively, of Seeger-Orbis GmbH & Co. OHG and Seeger-Orbis Mechanical Components (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (“Seeger”) for 42,500 Euros, subject to certain adjustments. Pursuant to the required accounting guidance, the Company allocated $15,000 of goodwill from the Engineered Components reporting unit to Seeger based on the estimated relative fair values of the business to be disposed of and the portion of the reporting unit that will be retained. The Company subsequently recorded an impairment charge of $5,600 related to the goodwill that was allocated to Seeger. The impairment charge was recorded within Selling and Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period ended December 31, 2019.

The Company completed the sale of the Seeger business to KNG effective February 1, 2020. Gross proceeds received were 38,964 Euros ($42,915) after consideration of post-closing adjustments, which were made during the fourth quarter of 2020, pursuant to the terms of the SPA. The Company yielded net cash proceeds of $36,062 after consideration of cash sold and transaction costs. Resulting tax charges of $4,211 were recognized in the first quarter of 2020 following the completion of the sale. Divestiture charges of $2,466 resulted from the completion of the sale and were recorded within Selling and Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company utilized the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt under the Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the SPA, 6,000 Euros of the proceeds were placed in escrow and will be released through 2024, pending any potential settlement of claims. Cash related to a pending claim would remain in escrow until a final determination of the claim has been made. The Company has recorded the restricted cash in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Other Assets (non-current) as of December 31, 2021.
