| DIVESTITURES | DIVESTITURES Aramids Divestiture On April 1, 2026, DuPont completed the Aramids Divestiture to Arclin, a portfolio company of an affiliate of TJC, in a transaction for gross consideration of $1.8 billion. In accordance with the transaction agreement, at the closing of the Aramids Divestiture DuPont received pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion, subject to customary transaction adjustments, an interest bearing note receivable of $300 million (the "Aramids Note Receivable"), and acquired a common equity interest (the "Aramids Equity Consideration") of approximately 16 percent valued at $325 million in the New Arclin U.S. Holding Corp. ("Arclin"). Arclin holds the Arclin global materials business and the Aramids Business. The Company determined that the sale of the Aramids Business represented a strategic shift that has had a major effect on the Company’s operations and results. The results of operations of the Aramids Divestiture are presented as discontinued operations as summarized below:
As a result of the Aramids Divestiture, the Company incurred a total $378 million loss on the sale, which includes a $82 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2026 when the carrying value of the Aramids Business’ disposal group was finalized. As part of the transaction, the Company initially recorded the 16 percent equity interest and the $300 million note receivable at fair values of $325 million and $183 million, respectively, which are recorded in "Investments and noncurrent receivables" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Aramids Equity Consideration fair value was determined using a contractually agreed-upon value per the transaction agreement. The fair value of the note receivable was determined using a market approach primarily based on current market interest rates for similar credit facilities and the duration of the note. The financial results of Arclin, subsequent to the transaction date, will be included in DuPont's Consolidated Financial Statements with a three-month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with DuPont’s accounting policy. Refer to Note 10 for additional information. The following table summarizes the major classes of assets and liabilities of the Aramids Divestiture presented as discontinued operations at December 31, 2025:
