Separation of P&A Business

In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾, and have presented the former P&A Business as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, in December 2017, we completed a secondary offering of Venator ordinary shares. ÌýAs of December 31, 2017, ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ retained approximately 55% ownership in Venator. ÌýOn January 3, 2018, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,948,955 Venator ordinary shares pursuant to their over-allotment option, which reduced ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾â€™s ownership interest in Venator to approximately 53%. ÌýWe intend to monetize our retained ownership in Venator at prevailing market conditions and expect to implement multiple follow-on capital market or block transactions to permit the orderly distribution of our retained shares.

In August 2017, we entered into a separation agreement, a transition services agreement (“TSAâ€�) and a registration rights agreement with Venator to effect the Separation and provide a framework for a short term set of transition services as well as a tax matters agreement and an employee matters agreement. Pursuant to the TSA, we will, for a limited time following the Separation, provide Venator with certain services and functions that the parties have historically shared, including administrative, payroll, human resources, data processing, environmental, health and safety, financial audit support, financial transaction support, marketing support, information technology systems and various other corporate and support services. We may also provide Venator with additional services that Venator and ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ may identify from time to time in the future. In general, the services began following the Separation and cover a period not expected to exceed 24 months; however, Venator may terminate individual services provided by us under the TSA early, as it becomes able to operate its business without such services.

Sale of European Surfactants Manufacturing Facilities

On December 30, 2016, our Performance Products segment completed the sale of its European surfactants business to Innospec Inc. for $199 million in cash plus our retention of trade receivables and payables for an enterprise value of $225 million. Under the terms of the transaction, Innospec acquired our manufacturing facilities located in Saint-Mihiel, France; Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy; and Barcelona, Spain. We remain committed to our global surfactants business, including in the U.S. and Australia, where our differentiated surfactants businesses are backward integrated into essential feedstocks. Upon closing the transaction, we entered into supply and long-term tolling arrangements with Innospec in order to continue marketing certain core products strategic to our global agrochemicals, lubes and certain other businesses. In connection with this sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain in the fourth quarter of 2016 of $98 million which was reflected in other operating income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. This business is not presented as discontinued operations as it was not considered a strategic shift in our operations.
