     Disposal of a Business
 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company sold its U.S. Roll Plate and Machinery business, as it was not strategic and did not meet our growth and return expectations. This divestiture also allows the Company’s management to focus on higher growth and better return businesses within the Engraving segment.
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $7.3 million non-cash loss to adjust the net assets of the business to their net realizable value. The expense is recorded as a component of Other Operating Income (Expense), net. The sale of the business does not constitute a significant strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results.

On March 30, 2012, Air Distribution Products Group,
(“ADP”) was sold to a private equity buyer for consideration of $16.1 million consisting of $13.1 million in cash and a $3.0 million promissory note from the buyer. The note was secured by a mortgage on the ADP real estate sold in the transaction in Detroit Lakes, MN, Medina, NY, and Powder Springs, GA. During the first quarter 2016, the private equity buyer of ADP sold one of the facilities securing the note. The Company released all mortgages on the properties and accepted an advanced payment of $2.8 million during October 2015 in order to reduce repayment risk and settle all obligations under the note. The Company recorded a $0.2 million loss in discontinued operations during the first quarter 2016 related to this transaction.
