On July 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its ANZ businesses to Visy, an unaffiliated

company. Gross proceeds approximated AUD $947 million (including a related sale-leaseback agreement which

approximated AUD $214 million), or approximately USD $677 million. Approximately 95% of those proceeds

were received at the time of closing, and the remaining balance of approximately $58 million was received in the first quarter of 2021. In 2020, the Company recognized a net gain (including costs directly attributable to the sale of ANZ and subject to post-closing adjustments) on the divestiture of approximately $275 million, which was reported on the Other income (expense), net line in the Consolidated Results of Operations. In addition, at closing, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into certain ancillary agreements with Visy and the ANZ businesses in respect of the provision of certain transitional and technical services to the ANZ businesses.

In January 2021, the Company completed the sale of its plant in Argentina. Gross proceeds are approximately $10 million, and the gain on the sale was not material.
