4.  Discontinued Operations

Tradin Organic

On December 30, 2020, the Company completed the divestiture of its organic ingredient sourcing and production business, Tradin Organic, by selling all of the Company's interests and rights in The Organic Corporation B.V. and Tradin Organics USA LLC to Amsterdam Commodities N.V. (the "Purchaser") for cash consideration of $373.7 million (€305.1 million), net of cash acquired and debt assumed by the Purchaser and subject to certain post-closing adjustments (the "Transaction").  The global operations of Tradin Organic included its organic and non-GMO ingredient sourcing operations centered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Scott's Valley, California, together with its consumer-packaged premium juice co-manufacturing business, and its cocoa, sunflower, sesame, and avocado ingredient processing facilities located in the Netherlands, Bulgaria, and Ethiopia.  Prior to its divestiture, Tradin Organic comprised the Company's former Global Ingredients operating segment.
