3. Asset Sale to WBA

On September 18, 2017, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement with Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (“WBA”) and Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation and 100% owned subsidiary of WBA (“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 (the “Original Asset Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement,

Buyer purchased from the Company 1,932 stores (the “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 (the “Asset Sale” or “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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company completed the sale of the final distribution center and related assets to WBA for proceeds of $94,289. The impact of the sale of the distribution center and related assets resulted in a pre-tax gain of $12,690, which has been included in the results of operations and cash flows of discontinued operations during the thirteen week period ended May 30, 2020. The transfer of the final distribution center and related assets constitutes the final closing under the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Company had agreed to provide transition services to Buyer for up to three years after the initial closing of the Sale. Under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”), the Company provided 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 had been extended to October 17, 2020, unless earlier terminated. In connection with these services, the Company purchased the related inventory and incurred cash payments for the selling, general and administrative activities, which, the Company billed on a cash neutral basis to WBA in accordance with terms as outlined in the TSA. Total billings for these items during the thirteen week periods ended May 30, 2020 and June 1, 2019 were $31,005 and $1,192,791, respectively, of which $4,398 and $224,385 is included in Accounts receivable, net. The Company recorded WBA TSA fees of $1,080 and $14,225 during the thirteen week periods ended May 30, 2020 and June 1, 2019, respectively, which are reflected as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses. In conjunction with the transfer of the final distribution center during the quarter ended May 30, 2020, the Company has substantially completed its obligations under the TSA.

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 May 30, 2020 and February 29, 2020, 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:
