During the three months ended May 31, 2022, we entered into treasury lock arrangements with a notional amount totaling $200 million in order to manage our interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of at least $200 million of fixed

rate debt by August 2022. We designated these treasury lock arrangements as cash flow hedges with any unrealized gain, prior to settlement, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. During the three months ended August 31, 2022, we settled $200 million notional treasury locks upon determining we would not issue fixed rate debt but rather enter into a $500 million 364-day revolving credit facility. The proceeds received upon settlement of these treasury lock arrangements were $18.7 million.On August 3, 2022, we sold the Kitchen Basics business for $95.2 million in cash, net of transaction expenses of $3.8 million. Assets disposed of principally included inventory, intangible assets ($6.3 million) and goodwill ($21.5 million). The sale of Kitchen Basics resulted in a pre-tax gain of $49.6 million.
