NOTE 6: DIVESTITURES

In recent years, we decided to exit certain businesses and dispose of other assets. We believe these actions have enabled us to concentrate our resources on our growth businesses, while optimizing our operations.

In March 2026, we finalized the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities associated with the Safeguard small business distributor channel within our Print segment. The transaction will generate net proceeds of $22.8 million, with approximately half received at closing. The remaining proceeds will be collected in equal annual installments on each anniversary of the closing date over the next three years. The net assets and liabilities transferred in the sale totaled $17.7 million and were comprised primarily of customer list intangible assets. The disposal group was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025 and was included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

In September and December 2023, we executed agreements to transition our U.S. and Canadian payroll and human resources services customers to other service providers. Our exit from this business was substantially completed during 2024, and the remaining cash proceeds from this business exit were received during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Activity related to business exits was as follows for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025:
