Asset Held for Sale and Actively Marketed Property ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND ACTIVELY MARKETED PROPERTY
Dole continuously reviews its assets and businesses in order to identify those that do not meet Dole’s future strategic direction or internal economic return criteria. As a result of this review, Dole has identified and is in the process of selling certain assets and businesses which are classified as either held for sale or actively marketed property. The assets and businesses that have been identified are available for sale in their present condition and an active program is underway to sell them. For items classified as held for sale, their sale is anticipated to occur during the ensuing year, while the timing of the sale of property specifically classified as actively marketed (generally land) is uncertain.
