On March 16, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of Aerospace to an affiliate of Tinicum L.P., and funds managed by Blackstone, Inc., pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of November 4, 2025 (the "Purchase Agreement"), for a purchase price of approximately $1,456.9 million, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement which the Company expects to be finalized during 2026.
The Company recognized net proceeds of $1,241.8 million, which represents the purchase price, less estimated tax payments of approximately $194.5 million, and transaction costs of $20.2 million. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $1,040.0 million. The Company's liability for unpaid estimated tax payments is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s net cash proceeds were invested in liquid instruments, including U.S. Treasury‑backed money market funds and cash deposits with high‑credit‑quality financial institutions designated as Globally Systemically Important Banks. These investments earn interest at an average rate of 3.7%, and qualify as permitted investments under the Company’s credit agreement. The Company intends to maintain these investments until they are deployed for organic growth initiatives, strategically aligned acquisition opportunities, share repurchases, or a combination thereof.
The historical results for Aerospace are reported in the accompanying consolidated statement of income as a discontinued operation and the assets and liabilities have been retrospectively reclassified to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
