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. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $918 million ($727 million, net of tax). 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 additional 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. Certain sites were to transfer at a later date due to various local timing constraints. In May 2018, the last site transferred to DuPont. The results of our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition operations are summarized below, including the results of these delayed sites included in the year ended December 31, 2018.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, amounts include $16.6 million and $19.8 million of allocated interest expense and $8.1 million and $12.3 million of restructuring and other charges (income), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017 amount includes $3.9 million of a pension curtailment charge. See Note 14 for more information of the pension curtailment charge. Interest was allocated in accordance with relevant discontinued operations accounting guidance.
(2) | In accordance with U.S. GAAP, effective March 2017 we stopped amortizing and depreciating all assets classified as held for sale. 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. 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.
(3) | Includes $27.9 million of divestiture related costs, net of tax as well as incremental tax cost of $14.7 million related to certain legal entity restructuring executed during the third quarter of 2017 to facilitate the FMC Health and Nutrition divestiture.
(4) | Amount represents the settlement of working capital adjustments subsequent to the sale.
(5) | Represents the impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2017 of approximately $168 million ($148 million, net of tax) associated with the disposal activities of the Omega-3 business to write down the carrying value to its fair value.
