Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 22.
Separation and Merger Transaction On January 28, 2013, the Company completed the previously announced separation of its commodity chemicals business and merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Spinco Inc. , with a subsidiary of Georgia Gulf Corporation in a tax ef ficient Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Transaction”).
Pursuant to the merger, Eagle Spinco, the entity holding PPG's former commodity chemicals business, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Georgia Gulf.
The closing of the merger followed the expiration of the related exchange offer and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.
The combined company formed by uniting Georgia Gulf with PPG's former commodity chemicals business is named Axiall Corporation (“Axiall”).
PPG holds no ownership interest in Axiall.
PPG received the necessary ruling from the Internal Revenue Service and as a result this Transaction was generally tax free to PPG and its shareholders in the United States and Canada.
Under the terms of the exchange offer, 35,249,104 shares of Eagle Spinco common stock were available for distribution in exchange for shares of PPG common stock accepted in the offer.
Following the merger, each share of Eagle Spinco common stock automatically converted into the right to receive one share of Axiall Corporation common stock.
Accordingly, PPG shareholders who tendered their shares of PPG common stock as part of this offer received 3.2562 shares of Axiall common stock for each share of PPG common stock accepted for exchange.
PPG was able to accept the maximum of 10,825,227 shares of PPG common stock for exchange in the offer, and thereby, reduced its outstanding shares by approximately 7%.
The completion of this exchange offer was a non-cash financing transaction, which resulted in an increase in "Treasury stock" at a cost of $1.561 billion based on the PPG closing stock price on January 25, 2013.
Under the terms of the Transaction, PPG received $900 million of cash and 35.2 million shares of Axiall common stock (market value of $1.8 billion on January 25, 2013) which was distributed to PPG shareholders by the exchange offer as described above.
In addition, PPG received $67 million in cash for a preliminary post-closing working capital adjustment under the terms of the Transaction agreements.
The net assets transferred to Axiall included $27 million of cash on the books of the business transferred.
In the Transaction, PPG transferred environmental remediation liabilities, defined benefit pension plan assets and liabilities and other post-employment benefit liabilities related to the commodity chemicals business to Axiall.
During the first quarter of 2013, PPG recorded a gain of $2.2 billion on the Transaction reflecting the excess of the sum of the cash proceeds received and the cost (closing stock price on January 25, 2013) of the PPG shares tendered and accepted in the exchange for the 35.2 million shares of Axiall common stock over the net book value of the net assets of PPG's former commodity chemicals business.
The Transaction resulted in a net partial settlement loss of $33 million associated with the spin out and termination of defined benefit pension liabilities and the transfer of other post-retirement benefit liabilities under the terms of the Transaction.
The Company also incurred $14 million of pretax expense, primarily for professional services related to the Transaction in 2013 as well as approximately $2 million of net expense related to certain retained obligations and post-closing adjustments under the terms of the Transaction agreements.
The net gain on the Transaction includes these related losses and expenses.
The results of operations and cash flows of PPG's former commodity chemicals business for January 2013 and the net gain on the Transaction are reported as results from discontinued operations for the year -ended December 31, 2013.
In prior periods presented, the results of operations and cash flows of PPG's former commodity chemicals business have been reclassified from continuing operations and presented as results from discontinued operations.
PPG will provide Axiall with certain transition services for up to 24 months following the closing date of the Transaction.
These services include logistics, purchasing, finance, information technology, human resources, tax and payroll processing.
The net sales and income before income taxes of the commodity chemicals business that have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations are presented in the table below:

Intangible assets decreased during the year ended March 2019 due to the divestiture of the Reef?
brand business and foreign currency fluctuations, which were partially offset by the addition of intangible assets from the Icebreaker and Altra acquisitions.

Rock & Republic?
Impairment Analysis The Rock & Republic?
brand has an exclusive wholesale distribution and licensing arrangement with Kohl's Corporation that covers all branded apparel, accessories and other merchandise.
As of June 30, 2018, VF performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Rock & Republic?
amortizing trademark intangible asset to determine if the carrying value was recoverable.
We determined this testing was necessary based on the expectation that certain customer contract terms would be modified.
Management used the income-based relief-from-royalty method and the contractual 4% royalty rate to calculate the pre-tax undiscounted future cash flows.
Based on the analysis performed, management concluded that the trademark intangible asset did not require further testing as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of $49.0 million.
It is possible that VF's conclusion regarding the recoverability of the intangible asset could change in future periods as there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis as of June 30, 2018 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future.
