Student Investment Fund:Procter & GambleBusiness DivesturesProcter and Gamble has recently divested two of its business segments in order to refocus on its core businesssegments and to continue to maintain its strong portfolio of brands. Folgers: On June 4, 2008, PG sold its Folgers coffee unit to J.M. Smucker Company in an all‐stock dealworth approximately 2.95 billion. Pharmaceuticals: In 2006, the company began winding down its discover‐phase pharmaceuticalproducts in favor of licensing late‐stage compounds, and announced in 2008 it would exit the drugindustry entirely. In 2009, PG sold its pharmaceutical unit to Warner Chilcott in a 3.1 billion cash deal.As a result of the divesture, Procter and Gamble expects to book a 43 cent per share earnings boost inthe second quarter of fiscal year 2010.These divestures will allow PG to primarily focus on its personal care, beauty, and household product divisions.Moreover, it is our assessment that these divestures reveal Procter and Gamble’s strong focus on maintaininga solid portfolio of brands that add value for the company rather than growing for growth's sake.Consistency in Top ManagementProcter and Gamble recently named Robert McDonald as president and CEO, succeeding A.G. Lafley, effectiveas of July 2009. The new CEO Robert McDonald, otherwise known as Bob McDonald, comes into the positionwith a rich company background. McDonald previously served as Vice Chair of PG’s Global Business Units andOperations. Furthermore, McDonald has vast experience in brand‐building and market development, and hasover 30 years of experience with Procter and Gamble.The news of Bob McDonald being named CEO of the company, shortly followed the announcement of PG’sCFO Clayt Daley’s retirement. Daley was replaced January 1, 2009 by Jon Moeller. Prior to accepting the newCFO position, Moeller previously served as the Vice President and Treasurer of Procter and Gamble. Moelleralso served as Vice President of Finance and Accounting in various global business units within the company.Similar to McDonald, Moeller has developed a rich history at Procter and Gamble.Looking forward, Procter and Gamble can remain confident in their recent changes in top management. Bothexecutive successors are individuals who have a thorough and well‐developed understanding of thecompany’s core businesses and international markets, gained through many years of experience with Procterand Gamble.
