Highlight of Business Operations:
Historically, we had three reportable segments, Customer Management, Information Management and Human Resources Management (HR Management). In March 2010, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the HR Management line of business to NorthgateArinso for approximately $100 with $85 to be paid in cash at closing and $15 in cash over three years, subject to post-closing working capital adjustments. The sale substantially closed on June 1, 2010, for which we received approximately $80 in cash as well as a zero coupon note in the principal amount of $15. The sales of certain foreign operations of the HR Management business completed during the third quarter of 2010, resulted in a receipt of an additional $1 in cash. The sale of the remaining HR Management foreign operations are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2010 and result in an additional $4 in cash received. Final settlement of working capital adjustments is expected to result in cash payments to NorthgateArinso of approximately $7 during the fourth quarter of 2010. In connection with the sale of the HR Management line of business, we reorganized our reportable segments into two segments; Customer Management, which provides agent-assisted services, self-service, and intelligent technology care solutions, and Information Management, which provides business support system (BSS) solutions. See Note 17 for information about these segments.the prior year period.
