Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2020, on October 1, 2020, we closed on the sale of the assets of the cryobiological products business within our D&S West segment to Cryoport, Inc. for net cash proceeds of $317.1, inclusive of the base purchase price of $320.0 less estimated closing date adjustments of $2.9. The strategic decision to divest of our cryobiological products business reflects our strategy and capital allocation approach to focus on our core capabilities and offerings. On October 2, 2020, we used proceeds from the Divestiture and other available cash on hand to pay down $335.7 of our term loan due 2024. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations” for further information regarding the Divestiture.
On October 13, 2020, we completed the acquisition of the Theodore, Alabama cryogenic trailer and hydrogen trailer (transport) assets of Worthington Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WOR) for $10 million in cash (“Alabama Trailers”). Alabama Trailers designs, manufactures and sells cryogenic trailers and hydrogen trailers used in industrial gas and energy applications. This acquisition will produce strong synergies by combining Chart’s deep knowledge of cryogenics and liquid hydrogen storage and handling with Alabama Trailers’ expertise and experience in the packaging and assembly of liquid hydrogen trailers.
On October 14, 2020, McPhy (Euronext Paris: MCPHY – ISIN; FR0011742329), specialized in zero-carbon hydrogen production and distribution equipment, completed a capital increase for the amount of 180 million euros. Chart subscribed to
1,276,595 shares for 30 million euros (equivalent to $35.3), and we now hold 4.6% of the capital of McPhy post-offering. In conjunction with our strategic investment, Chart and McPhy also executed a commercial Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”). The MOU between McPhy and Chart is intended to set the pace of commercial collaboration to stimulate new hydrogen demand for the parties’ respective equipment and solutions globally.
