Related Party Transactions | Related-Party Transactions The Company held a noncontrolling ownership stake in Cardinal Holdings ("Cardinal"), which operated the Capco consulting business, through April 29, 2021, when we sold our ownership stake due to an acquisition transaction of the Capco consulting business by Wipro Ltd. As a result of the transaction, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $367 million and recorded an approximate $225 million gain in Other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of earnings. FIS' ownership stake in Cardinal was 36% at the date of sale and at December 31, 2020. Prior to the sale, the Company recorded the ownership stake in Cardinal as an equity method investment included within Other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying value of this equity method investment was $137 million at December 31, 2020. FIS provides ongoing management consulting services and other services to Cardinal. FIS also purchases services and software licenses from Cardinal from time to time. Cardinal was a related party through April 29, 2021. Amounts transacted through these agreements were not significant to the 2021, 2020 and 2019 periods presented when Cardinal was a related party.
