Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure | DIVESTITURES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing Limited In March 2016, the company recognized the sale of its 100 percent ownership interest in DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing Limited to the Feixiang Group.

The gain was recorded in other income, net in the company's Consolidated Income Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and reflected as a Corporate item. Performance Chemicals On July 1, 2015 (the Distribution Date), DuPont completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Chemours (the Separation). To effect the spin-off, DuPont distributed to its stockholders one share of Chemours common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every five shares of DuPont common stock, par value $0.30 per share, (the Distribution) outstanding as of 5:00 p.m. June 23, 2015, the record date for the Distribution. In lieu of fractional shares of Chemours, stockholders of DuPont received cash, which generally was taxable. In connection with the Separation, the company and Chemours entered into a Separation Agreement, discussed below, and a Tax Matters Agreement and certain ancillary agreements, including an employee matters agreement, agreements related to transition and site services, and intellectual property cross licensing arrangements. In addition, the companies have entered into certain supply agreements. In the first quarter 2016, the company agreed in principle to prepay $190 for certain goods and services expected to be delivered by Chemours. As of December 31, 2016, the balance of the prepayment was $60 recorded within prepaid expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is expected to be fully utilized through delivery of goods and services during 2017. Separation Agreement The company and Chemours entered into a Separation Agreement that sets forth, among other things, the agreements between the company and Chemours regarding the principal transactions necessary to effect the Separation and also sets forth ancillary agreements that govern certain aspects of the company’s relationship with Chemours after the separation. Among other matters, the Separation Agreement and the ancillary agreements provide for the allocation between DuPont and Chemours of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the completion of the Separation. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Chemours indemnifies DuPont against certain litigation, environmental, workers' compensation and other liabilities that arose prior to the distribution. The term of this indemnification is indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. At December 31, 2016, the indemnified assets are $81 within accounts and notes receivable, net and $444 within other assets along with the corresponding liabilities of $81 within other accrued liabilities and $444 within other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
