4. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On October 31, 2018, we completed the sale of the Specialty Papers Business Unit on a cash free and debt free basis to Pixelle Specialty Solutions LLC, an affiliate of Lindsay Goldberg (the “Purchaser”) for $360 million. The sale of the business unit was in connection with the strategic focus on our more growth oriented Composite Fibers and Advanced Airlaid Materials. Cash proceeds from the sale were approximately $323 million reflecting estimated purchase price adjustments as of the closing date and the assumption by the Purchaser of approximately $38 million in retiree healthcare liabilities. In addition, the Purchaser assumed approximately $210 million of pension liabilities relating to Specialty Papers’ employees and will receive approximately $280 million of related assets from the Company’s existing pension plan. We recognized a $144.1 million pre-tax loss, presented below as an “Impairment charge” for the amount by which Specialty Papers’ carrying value exceeded net proceeds from the sale. In connection with the sale of Specialty Papers, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Purchaser pursuant to which we agreed to provide various back-office and information technology support until the business is fully separated from us. The following table sets forth a summary of discontinued operations included in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss):
