In December 2012, the Corporation's Fulton Bank, N.A. subsidiary sold its Global Exchange Group division (Global Exchange) for a gain of $6.2 million. Global Exchange provided international payment solutions to meet the needs of companies, law firms and professionals. As a result of this divestiture, $5.3 million of goodwill allocated to Global Exchange was written-off and included as a reduction to the gain on sale recorded in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income. As a result of the divestiture of Global Exchange, gross intangible assets totaling $2.3 million ($266,000, net of accumulated amortization) that were allocated to Global Exchange were written-off and included as a reduction to the gain on sale recorded in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2012. All of the Corporation’s reporting units passed the 2014 goodwill impairment test, resulting in no goodwill impairment charges in 2014. Two reporting units, with total allocated goodwill of $170.4 million, had fair values that exceeded adjusted net book values by less than 5%. The remaining five reporting units, with total allocated goodwill of $360.2 million, had fair values that exceeded net book values by approximately 27% in the aggregate. The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s reporting units are subject to uncertainty, including future changes in the trading and acquisition multiples of comparable financial institutions and future operating results of reporting units which could differ significantly from the assumptions used in the valuation of reporting units. The following table summarizes intangible assets as of December 31:

Core deposit intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated remaining life of the acquired core deposits. Other amortizing intangible assets, consisting primarily of premiums paid on branch acquisitions in prior years that did not qualify for business combinations accounting under FASB ASC Topic 810. As December 31, 2014, all amortizing intangible assets had a weighted average remaining life of less than one year. Amortization expense related to intangible assets totaled $1.3 million, $2.4 million and $3.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expense for 2015 is expected to be $247,000 with no remaining amortization in future years.
