Subsequent Events | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Entry into Definitive Agreement to Sell Employee Relocation Business; Realogy to Retain Cartus Affinity and Broker-to-Broker Business As reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 7, 2019, the Company announced a definitive purchase agreement under which SIRVA Worldwide, Inc., a subsidiary of SIRVA, Inc. (collectively, “SIRVA”), will acquire its global employee relocation business. The transaction is valued at $400 million, and is expected to close in the first half of 2020, subject to the receipt of required regulatory clearances and other closing conditions. SIRVA is a portfolio company of Madison Dearborn Partners (MDP), a leading private equity firm. The transaction includes all of the employee relocation assets of Cartus, but does not include Cartus’ affinity business, which delivers home selling and buying assistance to members of affinity clients, nor its Broker Network, made up of agents and brokers from Realogy’s residential real estate brands and certain independent real estate brokers. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive $375 million in cash at closing and a $25 million deferred payment after the closing of the transaction, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement. The Company intends to use the substantial majority of the net proceeds to pay down corporate debt. Completion of the planned sale is subject to certain closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of all waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and the receipt of other required regulatory clearances. There can be no assurance that any of such conditions will be satisfied and that the planned sale will be successfully completed on a timely basis or at all. Each of the Company and SIRVA have the right to terminate the purchase agreement under certain circumstances.
