The transaction includes the purchase by the government of the Company’s factory located in Nijmegen, which produces soups, pasta and cereals. The cash proceeds are intended to compensate the Company for costs, both capital and expense, the Company will incur over the next three years to exit the current factory location and construct certain new facilities. Note, the Company will likely incur costs to rebuild an R&D facility in the Netherlands, costs to transfer a cereal line to another factory location, employee costs for severance and other costs directly related to the closure and relocation of the existing facilities. The Company also entered into a three-year leaseback on the Nijmegen factory. The Company will continue to operate in the leased factory over the next three years while commencing to execute its plans for closure and relocation of the operations. The Company has accounted for the proceeds on a cost recovery basis. In doing so, the Company has made its estimates of cost, both of a capital and expense nature, to be incurred and recovered and to which proceeds from the transaction will be applied. Of the proceeds received, $81.2 million has been deferred based on management’s total estimated future costs to be recovered and incurred and recorded in other non-current liabilities, other accrued liabilities and accumulated depreciation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of April 28, 2010. Proceeds of $15.0 million represent the excess of proceeds received over estimated costs to be recovered and incurred which has been recorded as a reduction of cost of products sold in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended April 28, 2010. In the future, the deferred amounts will be recognized as the related costs are incurred and if estimated costs differ from what are actually incurred there could be adjustments that will be reflected in earnings. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false Disclosure includes the facts and circumstances leading to the completed or expected disposal, manner and timing of disposal, the gain or loss recognized in the income statement and the income statement caption that includes that gain or loss, amounts of revenues and pretax profit or loss reported in discontinued operations, the segment in which the disposal group was reported, and the classification (whether sold or classified as held for sale) and carrying value of the assets and liabilities comprising the disposal group.
