DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - SALE OF U.S. RETAIL WIRELESS BUSINESS | 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS — SALE OF U.S. RETAIL WIRELESS BUSINESS On September 20, 2013, the Federal Communications Commission announced its approval of the previously announced proposed sale of the Company’s U.S. retail wireless business operated under the Alltel name to AT&T Mobility for approximately $780.0 million in cash plus $16.8 million in working capital adjustments. The Company previously reported the operations of this business within its U.S. Wireless segment. As a result of that approval, the Company completed the sale of certain U.S. retail wireless assets on that date. The $796.8 million in cash proceeds included $78.0 million of cash to be held in a general indemnity escrow account. Subject to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement between AT&T Mobility and the Company governing the sale, the restrictions on $19.5 million of these funds expired March 2014. The remaining $58.5 million has been recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s June 30, 2014 balance sheet and classified as a current asset since $19.5 million and $39.0 million will be released, subject to any indemnity claims, to the Company in September 2014 and March 2015, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has also recorded $7.3 million for the minority shareholders’ interests in the sold operation which is based on the estimated final distributions to the minority shareholders and is included in non-controlling interests on its balance sheet.
