3. Asset Sale to WBA

On September 18, 2017, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement with WBA and Buyer, which amended and restated in its entirety the previously disclosed Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2017, by and among the Company, WBA and Buyer. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyer agreed to purchase from the Company 1,932 Acquired Stores, three distribution centers, related inventory and other specified assets and liabilities related thereto for a purchase price of $4,375,000, on a cash-free, debt-free basis in the Sale.

The Company announced on September 19, 2017 that the waiting period under the HSR Act, expired with respect to the Sale. The Company completed the store transfer process in March of 2018, which resulted in the transfer of all 1,932 stores and related assets to WBA, and received cash proceeds of $4,156,686.

During fiscal 2019, the Company completed the sale of one of its distribution centers and related assets to WBA for proceeds of $61,251. The impact of the sale of the distribution center and related assets resulted in a pre-tax gain of $14,151, which has been included in the results of operations and cash flows of discontinued operations during the fifty-two week period ended March 2, 2019. During fiscal 2020, the Company completed the sale of the second distribution center and related assets to WBA for proceeds of $62,774. The impact of the sale of the distribution center and related assets resulted in a pre-tax gain of $19,268, which has been included in the results of operations and cash flows of discontinued operations during the fifty-two week period ended February 29, 2020. On April 1, 2020, we completed the inventory transfer at our remaining distribution center to WBA for proceeds of $19,280.

The transfer of the remaining distribution center and related non-inventory assets remains subject to minimal customary closing conditions applicable only to the distribution center being transferred at such distribution center closing, as specified in the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement.

The parties to the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement have each made customary representations and warranties. The Company has agreed to various covenants and agreements, including, among others, the Company’s agreement to conduct its business at the distribution centers being sold to WBA in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement and the distribution center closing. The Company has also agreed to provide transition services to Buyer for up to three years after the initial closing of the Sale. Under the terms of the TSA, the Company provides various services on behalf of WBA, including but not limited to the purchase and distribution of inventory and virtually all selling, general and administrative activities. The term of the TSA has been extended to October 17, 2020. In connection with these services, the Company purchases the related inventory and incurs cash payments for the selling, general and administrative activities, which, the Company bills on a cash neutral basis to WBA in accordance with terms as outlined in the TSA. Total billings for these items during the fifty-two week periods ended February 29, 2020 and March 2, 2019 were $3,030,967 and $6,887,092, respectively, of which $38,737 and $293,662 is included in Accounts receivable, net. The Company charged WBA TSA fees of $37,922 during the fifty-two week period ended February 29, 2020 and $80,277 in the fifty-two week period ended March 2, 2019, which are reflected as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.

Based on its magnitude and because the Company exited certain markets, the Sale represented a significant strategic shift that has a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Company has applied discontinued operations treatment for the Sale as required by Accounting Standards Codification 210-05—Discontinued Operations (ASC 205-20). In accordance with ASC 205-20, the Company reclassified the Disposal Group to assets and liabilities held for sale on its consolidated balance sheets as of the periods ended February 29, 2020 and

March 2, 2019, and reclassified the financial results of the Disposal Group in its consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. The Company also revised its discussion and presentation of operating and financial results to be reflective of its continuing operations as required by ASC 205-20.

The carrying amount of the Assets to be Sold, which were included in the Retail Pharmacy segment, have been reclassified from their historical balance sheet presentation to current assets and liabilities held for sale as follows:
