NOTE 7 — (GAIN) ON SALES OF ASSETS AND BUSINESS, NET

During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, we recognized net gains of $25.7 million and $25.9 million, respectively, on the sale of certain real property assets and a business divestiture. On January 20, 2023, we completed the divestiture of our Guardian Protection Products, Inc ("Guardian") business for proceeds of approximately $49.2 million, net of cash disposed. In connection with the divestiture, we recognized a gain of $24.7 million for the quarter ended February 28, 2023, which is included in (gain) on sales of assets and business, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of November 30, 2022, the criteria necessary to be classified as held for sale on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets had not been met.

Guardian, headquartered in Hickory, North Carolina, was a reporting unit included in our SPG segment and is a seller of furniture protection plans and protection products for fabric, leather, and wood applications. The sale of Guardian did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and therefore was not presented as discontinued operations in our fiscal 2023 financial results.
