Fiscal 2019 Separation of USPS

On May 31, 2018, DXC completed the USPS Separation and Mergers to form Perspecta, an independent public company.

Implementation of the USPS Separation and DXC's post-Separation relationship with Perspecta is governed by several agreements, including the following:

a Separation and Distribution Agreement;
an Employee Matters Agreement;
a Tax Matters Agreement;
an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement;
a Transition Services Agreement;
a Real Estate Matters Agreement; and,
a Non-US Agency Agreement.

These agreements provide for the allocation of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including property, employee benefits, litigation, and tax-related assets and liabilities) between DXC and Perspecta attributable to periods prior to, at and after the USPS Separation. In addition, DXC and Perspecta have service and commercial contracts that generally extend through fiscal 2023.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Perspecta made a net cash payment of $984 million to DXC, which reflects transaction consideration of $1,050 million less $66 million in principal amount of debt that was outstanding at a subsidiary of Perspecta. Perspecta financed the payment through borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility.

J. Michael Lawrie serves as DXC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Paul N. Saleh serves as DXC's Chief Financial Officer. Effective as of the Separation, Mr. Lawrie also serves as Chairman of Perspecta and Mr. Saleh also serves as a Director of Perspecta. Due to Mr. Lawrie's and Mr. Saleh's leadership positions at DXC and Perspecta, Perspecta is considered a related party under ASC 850 "Related Party Disclosures" for periods subsequent to the Separation. Transactions with Perspecta were immaterial to the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and balances due to and from Perspecta were immaterial to the Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2019.

The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities distributed as part of the Separation of USPS on May 31, 2018:
