SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 16, 2018, we announced an agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture with Bridgestone Americas, Inc. (“Bridgestone”) that will combine our Company-Owned Wholesale Distribution (“COWD”) business and Bridgestone’s tire wholesale warehouse business to create TireHub, a national tire distributor in the United States.
On July 1, 2018, TireHub commenced operations. Upon commencement, we transferred certain assets and liabilities of the COWD business to TireHub and expect to recognize a non-cash gain of approximately $285 million on the transaction in Other (Income) Expense in the third quarter of 2018. We also expect to record the fair value of the Company’s equity investment in TireHub of approximately $292 million in Other Assets in the third quarter of 2018. No cash was exchanged between the parties as part of the transaction.
