Corporate and Other Segment – Sale of IES Retail Energy Business

In November 2014, we sold IES's retail energy business to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) for $331.8 million, which includes a working capital adjustment recorded during the first quarter of 2015. As part of the stock purchase agreement, we provided guarantees supporting the IES retail energy business. During the second quarter of 2015, the majority of these guarantees expired. See Note 12, Guarantees, for more information. We are providing certain administrative and operational services to Exelon during a transition period of up to 15 months after the sale date.

The following table shows the components of discontinued operations related to the sale of IES's retail energy business recorded on the income statements. No activity was recorded for IES's retail energy business during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The June 2014 announcement of the potential sale triggered an interim goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of the interim goodwill impairment analysis, IES recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment loss in the second quarter of 2014. This goodwill impairment loss reflected the offers received for IES's retail energy business.

Corporate and Other Segment – Sale of Certain PDL Solar Power Generation Plants

In June 2015, we sold 48 solar power generation plants owned by PDL to TerraForm Power, Inc. (TerraForm) for $47.8 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustments for working capital. These solar plants were located throughout Arizona, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $5.2 million, which included transaction costs of $0.9 million. The results of operations of these solar assets through the sale date remain in continuing operations. In connection with the sale, we entered into an asset management agreement with TerraForm related to the majority of the remaining solar assets owned by PDL. Under this agreement, TerraForm will perform the day-to-day management of these remaining solar assets.
