Subsequent Events Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On July 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its existing businesses in China and Hong Kong, comprising over 2,700 restaurants, to a developmental licensee organization. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will retain a 20% ownership in the business, and as such, will report results for China and Hong Kong as an affiliate post-closing. The Company expects to record a pre-tax gain of about $1.0 billion (subject to final working capital adjustments) reflecting the difference between $1.6 billion of cash proceeds and the net book value of the businesses. The estimated gain also includes an increase to fair value of the retained equity investment.
There were no other subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure.
