Respiratory Solutions
In March 2016, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell 50.1% of its Respiratory Solutions business and form a joint venture with respect to this business.  Under the agreement, the Company will transfer the Respiratory Solutions business to a new standalone entity in which it will retain a 49.9% non-controlling interest, and the buyer will own the remainder. The buyer will control the operations and governance of the joint venture. Assets and liabilities held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 include assets and liabilities subject to this agreement of approximately $614 million and $195 million, respectively. The Respiratory Solutions business was acquired in the CareFusion acquisition in 2015 and was a component of the Medical segment. The transaction is expected to close later in 2016, subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The historical financial results for the Respiratory Solutions business have not been classified as a discontinued operation.
