On July 25, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement to sell the majority of its Grain & Protein (“G&P”) business, which includes the GSI®, Automated Production® (AP), Cumberland®, Cimbria® and Tecno® brands for a purchase price of $700.0 million, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. The divestiture of the G&P business aligns with AGCO's strategic transformation and allows for AGCO to better streamline and focus on its portfolio of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology products. As of June 30, 2024, the business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company recognizes assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less costs to sell. The Company determined the intended sale of the G&P business does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the consolidated results of operations, and therefore results of this business were not classified as discontinued operations. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including compliance with antitrust and similar laws. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024.

The loss on business held for sale will be finalized in the fourth quarter upon the closing of the transaction based on the carrying value of the disposal group at the date of sale. The Company determined the intended sale of the G&P business does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the consolidated results of operations, and therefore results of this business were not classified as discontinued operations.
