11.Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

We and certain of our subsidiaries have entered into non-binding, exclusive negotiations regarding the potential sale of all of the assets used in our Fresh Cut business and certain related real property for approximately $100.0 million, subject to certain adjustments that may be included in a binding agreement. The Proposed Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.The Fresh Cut business represents substantially all of the business of the Prepared segment other than the guacamole business, which would be retained following the Proposed Transaction.

In the first quarter of 2024, management has concluded that the Fresh Cut business meets the requirements to be classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. As a result, the financial results of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations, and its assets and liabilities are reflected as amounts held for sale in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company's reporting segments have also been changed for the effects of the planned divestiture, as described in Note 2.

The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities of the Fresh Cut business that are classified as held for sale in the accompanying balance sheets (in thousands).
