FMC Health and Nutrition:
On March 31, 2017, we signed a definitive agreement to sell FMC Health and Nutrition, excluding the Omega-3 business, as part of the Transaction Agreement with DuPont. Refer to Note 3 for more details. We expect the sale to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to the closing of the merger between DuPont and Dow Corporation and customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. We have concluded, as a result of the signing of the Transaction Agreement, that FMC Health and Nutrition, excluding the Omega-3 business, has met the criteria to be an asset held for sale. Due to the strategic shift as a result of exiting the Health and Nutrition business, FMC Health and Nutrition has been presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
As part of the strategic shift to exit the Health and Nutrition business, we are pursuing the sale of the Omega-3 business and believe it is probable it will be sold within one year. We have concluded that the Omega-3 business also met the criteria to be an asset held for sale and therefore has been presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Assets held for sale under U.S. GAAP are required to be reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.  We expect a significant gain on the FMC Health and Nutrition assets to be sold to DuPont and therefore these assets held for sale are reported at their carrying value.  However, the fair value of the Omega-3 business, which was previously part of the broader FMC Health and Nutrition reporting unit, is significantly less than its carrying value, which includes accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments that would be reclassified to earnings upon completion of sale.  As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $185 million ($165 million, net of tax).
The results of our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition operations are summarized below:
