for your helpful remarks

Yeah, that crossed my mind. If there's no reason to believe that the divestments will be completed during the current period, then perhaps "divestments in progress" as otherwise suggested would work better as a translation

Too likely to be understood as referring to the current period, whereas the notion you need to get across is that things (cessions) *haven't yet happened* and still may not happen during the current period.

not sure how to delete, so replacing it with this :)

I could easily see using something like "the company is relinquishing ... " in some cases, "the company is divesting/has divested itself of ...", "the company is selling off ...", or perhaps if they are really just looking to get rid of assets that they are having a hard time making value of, "disposing of their assets in ..." in various circumstances through the paper, in part for the sake of flow and variety, probably consistently with where the term varied in the original. Or if it didn't vary in the original, perhaps using the same one straight through, depending on whether you have some artistic license along the way ...

If using "current divestments" I'd just make sure to have used the word "divestment" on at least a couple occasions in the main text when the events are being explained so that it would be more effortless for the reader to catch the precise meaning of the chart.

I have seen it translated as 'selling off' 'disposal' 'disposition'(!), transfer, relinquishment, but opted for 'divested' earlier in the text; If this is what the French implies and is commonly used in English then I'll stick with 'divestment'
