Discontinued Operations
On August 16, 2013, the Company completed the divestiture of HFS, which was previously reported as the Harland Financial Solutions business segment, and recognized an after tax gain on the divestiture. A total of approximately $1,200.0 of cash proceeds was received from the divestiture. In connection with the divestiture, the Company has reclassified the results of the Harland Financial Solutions segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As part of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company will perform and be compensated for customary transition services for a limited time related to certain administrative functions for HFS as performed for HFS prior to its divestiture and as set forth specifically in a transition services agreement. Cash flows from the transition services are considered to be indirect cash flows under applicable accounting guidance. The Company expects the transition services to be completed within one year from the date of the divestiture.
