At September 30, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s interest in FGL was $402.2 higher than FGL’s estimated fair value less cost to sell of $1,471.3. As a result, during Fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $39.4 write-down of assets of business held for sale, which was in addition to the $362.8 write-down previously recorded at September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s interest in Front Street was $19.0 higher than Front Street’s estimated fair value less cost to sell of $65.0. As a result, during Fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $19.0 write-down of assets of Front Street’s business held for sale.

(a) Included in the income tax expense for Fiscal 2016 was a $15.2 of income tax expense primarily related to the establishment of a deferred tax liability of $367.9 at September 30, 2016, which was a result of classifying the Company’s ownership interest in FGL as held for sale following the Anbang/FGL Merger Agreement, partially offset by the recognition of a $94.7 deferred tax asset related to realized capital losses primarily from the Compass Sale and $258.0 reduction of valuation allowances on HRG’s net operating and capital loss carryforwards expected to offset the FGL taxable gain at September 30, 2016. The remaining liability is expected to be offset by losses recognized in continuing operations except for $15.2 of estimated alternative minimum taxes. Based on the Company’s current intent to exercise the 338 Tax Election related to the FGL Merger, the Company reversed the previously recorded deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset valuation allowance reduction, which resulted in the recognition of a $15.2 income tax benefit in Fiscal 2017.

Energizer Holdings, Inc.
On January 15, 2018, Spectrum Brands entered into a definitive acquisition agreement (the “GBL Sale Agreement”) with Energizer Holdings, Inc. (“Energizer”) pursuant to which Energizer has agreed to acquire from Spectrum Brands its GBL business for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000.0 in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
The GBL Sale Agreement provides that Energizer will purchase the equity of certain subsidiaries of Spectrum Brands, and acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of other subsidiaries used or held for the purpose of the GBL business.
In the GBL Sale Agreement, Spectrum Brands and Energizer have made customary representations and warranties and have agreed to customary covenants relating to the acquisition. Among other things, prior to the consummation of the acquisition, Spectrum Brands will be subject to certain business conduct restrictions with respect to its operation of the GBL business.
Spectrum Brands and Energizer have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GBL Sale Agreement and for certain other matters. In particular, Spectrum Brands has agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by Spectrum Brands, and Energizer has agreed to indemnify Spectrum Brands for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the GBL Sale Agreement.
Spectrum Brands and Energizer have agreed to enter into related agreements ancillary to the acquisition that will become effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a customary transition services agreement and reverse transition services agreement.
The consummation of the acquisition is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things, (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on GBL, (ii) the expiration or termination of required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (iii) the receipt of certain other antitrust approvals in certain specified foreign jurisdictions (the conditions contained in (ii) and (iii) together, the “Antitrust Conditions”), (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (generally subject to a customary material adverse effect standard (as described in the GBL Sale Agreement) or other customary materiality qualifications), (v) the absence of governmental restrictions on the consummation of the acquisition in certain jurisdictions, and (vi) material compliance by the parties with their respective covenants and agreements under the GBL Sale Agreement. The consummation of the transaction is not subject to any financing condition. The transaction is expected to be consummated prior to December 31, 2018.
The GBL Sale Agreement also contains certain termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the GBL Sale Agreement if the consummation of the acquisition has not occurred on or before July 15, 2019 (the “Termination Date”). Further, if the acquisition has not been consummated by the Termination Date and all conditions precedent to Energizer’s obligation to consummate the acquisition have otherwise been satisfied except for one or more of the Antitrust Conditions, then Energizer would be required to pay Spectrum Brands a termination fee of $100.0.
The GBL business is part of Spectrum Brands’ GBA business, which also includes shared operations and assets of the remaining components of Spectrum Brands’ HPC business. Spectrum Brands is actively marketing its HPC business with interested parties for a separate transaction(s) expected to be entered into and consummated prior to December 31, 2018.
Compass
On July 1, 2016, HGI Energy entered into an agreement to sell its equity interests in Compass to a third party (such agreement, the “Compass Sale Agreement”). During Fiscal 2016, the transactions contemplated by the Compass Sale Agreement were consummated. This sale represented the disposal of all of the Company’s oil and gas properties, which were accounted for using the full-cost method prior to their disposal. The Company has determined that the completion of HGI Energy’s sale of its equity interests in Compass to a third party represented a strategic shift for the Company and, accordingly, has presented the results of operations for Compass as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table summarizes the components of “Net income (loss) from discontinued operations” attributable to Compass in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for Fiscal 2016 and 2015.
