INVESTMENTS | NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS Unconsolidated Joint Venture From 1994 through the third quarter of 2013, the Company participated in a joint venture that sells office products and services in Mexico and Central and South America and accounted for this investment under the equity method. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company sold its 50% investment in Office Depot de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Office Depot de Mexico”) to Grupo Gigante, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Grupo Gigante”), the joint venture partner. For periods prior to the sale, the Company’s proportionate share of Office Depot de Mexico’s net income was presented in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and totaled $7 million in the first quarter of 2013. Boise Cascade Holdings, LLC and Boise Cascade Company Common Stock The Company directly owns approximately 20% of the voting equity securities (“Common Units”) of Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. (“Boise Cascade Holdings”), a building products company that originated in connection with the OfficeMax sale of its paper, forest products and timberland assets in 2004. At December 28, 2013, Boise Cascade Holdings owned common stock of Boise Cascade Company (“Boise Cascade”), a publicly traded entity, which gave the Company the indirect ownership interest of approximately 4% of the shares of Boise Cascade. The investment in Boise Cascade Holdings is accounted for under the cost method because the Company does not have the ability to significantly influence the entity’s operating and financial policies. At December 28, 2013, the investment of $46 million is included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the first quarter of 2014, Boise Cascade Holdings distributed to its shareholders all of the Boise Cascade common stock it held. The Company received 1.6 million shares in this distribution. Through March 29, 2014, the Company disposed of 785 thousand shares in open market transactions for total cash proceeds of $22 million. The remaining shares are classified as available for sale securities and included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to liquidate the remaining stock holdings during 2014. At March 29, 2014, the aggregate fair value of the remaining securities was $20 million.
