Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]  
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
The Company assumed two redeemable noncontrolling interests through the acquisition of First Data (see Note 4) which are presented outside of equity and carried at their estimated redemption values. Each minority partner owns 1% of the equity in the joint venture; in addition, each minority partner is entitled to a contractually determined share of the entity’s income. The agreements contain redemption features whereby interests held by the minority partner are redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control. The minority interests have a total estimated redemption value of $252 million, which may be terminated by either party for convenience any time after September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the event of termination for cause, as a result of a change in control, or for convenience after the predetermined date, the Company may be required to purchase the minority partner membership interests at a price equal to the fair market value of the minority interest.
The following table presents a summary of the redeemable noncontrolling interests activity during the year ended December 31, 2019:
