Divestitures and Acquisitions | Note 2. Divestitures and Acquisitions On June 7, 2018, we acquired a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, within our North America segment and extended our premium biscuit offerings. We paid $528 million, net of cash received, and we expect to finalize the purchase price paid later this year once final working capital adjustments are confirmed. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. We are working to complete the valuation work and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $40 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $170 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $335 million to goodwill, $16 million to property, plant and equipment, $5 million to inventory, $9 million to accounts receivable, $6 million to current liabilities and $41 million to deferred tax liabilities. On December 28, 2017, we completed the sale of a confectionery business in Japan. We received cash proceeds of ¥2.8 billion ($24 million as of December 28, 2017) and recorded an immaterial pre-tax loss on the divestiture within our AMEA segment. On October 2, 2017, we completed the sale of one of our equity method investments and received cash proceeds of $65 million. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $40 million within the gain on equity method investment transactions and $15 million of tax expense. In connection with the 2012 spin-off of Kraft Foods Group, Inc. ("Kraft Foods Group", now a part of The Kraft Heinz Company (“KHC”)), Kraft Foods Group and we each granted the other various licenses to use certain trademarks in connection with particular product categories in specified jurisdictions. On August 17, 2017, we entered into two agreements with KHC to terminate the licenses of certain KHC-owned brands used in our grocery business within our Europe region and to transfer to KHC inventory and certain other assets. On August 17, 2017, the first transaction closed and we received cash proceeds of €9 million ($11 million as of August 17, 2017) and on October 23, 2017, the second transaction closed and we received cash proceeds of €2 million ($3 million as of October 23, 2017). The gain on both transactions combined was immaterial. On July 4, 2017, we completed the sale of most of our grocery business in Australia and New Zealand to Bega Cheese Limited for $456 million Australian dollars ($347 million as of July 4, 2017). We recorded a pre-tax gain of $247 million Australian dollars ($187 million as of July 4, 2017) on the sale. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a final $3 million inventory-related working capital adjustment, increasing the pre-tax gain in 2017 to $190 million. During the first nine months of 2017, we also incurred divestiture-related costs of $2 million and a foreign currency hedge loss of $3 million in connection with this transaction. On April 28, 2017, we completed the sale of several manufacturing facilities in France and the sale or license of several local confectionery brands. We received cash of approximately €157 million ($169 million as of April 28, 2017), net of cash divested with the businesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we reversed $3 million of accrued expenses no longer required. We also incurred divestiture-related costs of $1 million in the three months and $22 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We recorded a $3 million loss on the sale during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Divestiture-related costs were recorded within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Europe segment.
