The redemption of the 2023 Notes resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.1 million related to the unamortized debt issuance costs on the notes. Interest income is earned principally from the Company’s surplus cash balances and marketable securities. The lower interest income in 2021 and 2020 reflects a decline in interest rates on our investments in debt securities. Gain on sale of business and transition services income in 2020 and 2019 relate to the sale of our security services customer contracts.
