Discontinued Operations
FMC Health and Nutrition:
On August 1, 2017, we completed the sale of the Omega-3 business to Pelagia AS for $38 million.
On November 1, 2017, we completed the previously disclosed sale of our FMC Health and Nutrition business to DuPont. In connection with the sale, we entered into a customary transitional services agreement with DuPont to provide for the orderly separation and transition of various functions and processes. These services will be provided by us to DuPont for up to 24 months after closing, with an optional six months extension. These services include information technology services, accounting, human resource and facility services among other services, while DuPont assumes the operations of FMC Health and Nutrition.
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 expected a significant gain on the FMC Health and Nutrition assets sold to DuPont and therefore these assets held for sale were 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, was significantly less than its carrying value, which included accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments that were subsequently reclassified to earnings after completion of the sale. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $171 million ($151 million, net of tax) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to reflect the definitive agreement. As the sale occurred August 1, 2017, the charge was revised to reflect the sales price less the carrying value at the sale date. The impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $168 million ($148 million, net of tax).

The results of our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition operations are summarized below:
