| DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. Following the IPO, we retained approximately 75% ownership in Venator. We intend to monetize our retained ownership in Venator at prevailing market conditions and expect to implement multiple follow-on capital market or block transactions to permit the orderly distribution of our retained shares.
In August 2017, we entered into a separation agreement, a transition services agreement (“TSA”) and a registration rights agreement with Venator to effect the Separation and provide a framework for a short term set of transition services as well as a tax matters agreement and an employee matters agreement. Pursuant to the TSA, we will, for a limited time following the Separation, provide Venator with certain services and functions that the parties have historically shared, including administrative, payroll, human resources, data processing, environmental, health and safety, financial audit support, financial transaction support, marketing support, information technology systems and various other corporate and support services. We may also provide Venator with additional services that Venator and Huntsman may identify from time to time in the future. In general, the services began following the Separation and cover a period not expected to exceed 24 months; however, Venator may terminate individual services provided by us under the TSA early, as it becomes able to operate its business without such services.
