Acquisitions | Acquisitions DuPont Crop Protection On March 31, 2017, we entered into a definitive Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, (1) we have agreed to purchase certain assets relating to DuPont’s Crop Protection business and research and development organization (the"Acquisition") and (2) DuPont has agreed to purchase FMC Health and Nutrition, excluding our Omega-3 business. Additionally, we will pay DuPont $1.2 billion in cash (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement), which reflects the difference in negotiated value between the divested businesses. We expect to complete the transactions in the fourth quarter of 2017. Refer to Note 10. Also, on March 27, 2017, in connection with the Transaction Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (collectively with certain of its affiliates, the “Commitment Party”). The Commitment Letter provides that, in connection with the Transactions and subject to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, the Commitment Party will commit to provide to the Company, among other things, a $1.5 billion 364-day bridge term loan and, in certain circumstances, a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and a $750 million term loan facility. Fees incurred to secure these commitments of approximately $8.5 million have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the applicable arrangements. On May 2, 2017, the financing available under the Commitment Letter was terminated and replaced by a $1.5 billion term loan facility and an amended and restated $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Approximately $3.8 million of the deferred fees associated with the Commitment Letter will be expensed in the second quarter of 2017 and presented within selling, general and administrative within our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) consistent with other acquisition-related costs. The remaining fees have been capitalized in combination with the term loan facility. The details of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility are provided in Note 9 within these condensed consolidated financial statements. Acquisition-related charges Pursuant to US GAAP, costs incurred associated with the planned or completed acquisitions are expensed as incurred. The following table summarizes the costs incurred associated with these combined activities.
