U.K. Sale

22. U.K. Sale

On January 19, 2021, the Company completed the U.K. Sale pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement in which it sold all of the securities of AHC-WW Jersey Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated in Jersey and a subsidiary of the Company, which constituted the entirety of the Company’s U.K. operations. The U.K. Sale resulted in approximately $1,525 million of gross proceeds before deducting the settlement of existing foreign currency hedging liabilities of $85 million based on the current British Pounds (“GBP”) to U.S. Dollars (“USD”) exchange rate, cash retained by the buyer and transaction costs. The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $1,425 million (excluding cash retained by the buyer) along with cash on the balance sheet to reduce debt by $1,640 million during the first quarter of 2021 as described in Note 13 – Long-Term Debt.

As a result of the U.K. Sale, the Company reported, for all periods presented, results of operations and cash flows of the U.K. operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. In December 2020, the Company’s U.K. operations met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. The carrying value of the U.K. operations was written down to fair value less costs to sell in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020. This resulted in a loss on sale of $867.3 million, which includes approximately $356.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment, recorded within discontinued operations in the

consolidated statement of operations. During the first quarter of 2021, an additional $14.3 million was recorded as a loss on sale primarily resulting from an increase in the U.K. operations carrying value.
