Divestitures and Acquisitions
Note 2. Divestitures and Acquisitions

On May 28, 2019, we completed the sale of most of our cheese business in the Middle East and Africa to Arla Foods of Denmark. We received cash proceeds of $158 million and divested $19 million of current assets and $96 million of non-current assets. We also paid $2 million of transaction costs and recorded a net pre-tax gain of $41 million on the sale. We also incurred divestiture-related costs of $11 million in the three months and $10 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

On June 7, 2018, we acquired a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, within our North America segment for $527 million cash paid, net of cash received, and extended our premium biscuit offerings. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. As of June 30, 2019, we finalized our purchase price allocation and there were no significant changes to the net assets previously recorded. The final purchase price allocation included $45 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $205 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $297 million to goodwill, $16 million to property, plant and equipment, $5 million to inventory, $9 million to accounts receivable, $7 million to current liabilities and $43 million to deferred tax liabilities. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $35 million and incremental operating income of $4 million in 2019 through the anniversary of the acquisition date.
