INVESTMENTS | NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS Unconsolidated Joint Ventures From 1994 through the third quarter of 2013, the Company participated in a joint venture that sold 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 percent investment in Office Depot de Mexico to Grupo Gigante, the joint venture partner. Refer to Note 2 for further details on the disposition. For periods prior to the sale, the Company’s proportionate share of Office Depot de Mexico’s net income is presented in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and totaled $13 million through the date of sale in 2013 and $32 million in 2012. Boise Cascade Holdings, LLC As part of the Merger, the Company acquired an investment of 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. Through the end of 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. 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, which the Company fully disposed of in open market transactions through the end of the second quarter of 2014 for total cash proceeds of $43 million. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company received an additional $1 million of cash in conjunction with the dissolution of Boise Cascade Holdings. Through the date of disposition, the investment in Boise Cascade Holdings was accounted for under the cost method because the Company did not have the ability to significantly influence the entity’s operating and financial policies. The investment was recorded at fair value on the date of the Merger. At December 28, 2013, the investment of $46 million is included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 16 for additional fair value information. Additionally, in November 2013, the Company received a $35 million cash distribution as part of a distribution that Boise Cascade Holdings made to the holders of its Common Units following an offering of common shares of Boise Cascade Company. This distribution is considered return of investment and is presented as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
