For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $13.3 and $1.7, respectively. The 2021 payments mainly related to franchise acquisitions in the United States and a contingent consideration payment associated with a previous acquisition. The 2020 payment represents a deferred consideration payment related to a previous acquisition. Occasionally, we dispose of parts of our operations to optimize our global strategic and geographic footprint and synergies. On September 30, 2020 we disposed of four businesses (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria) in our Southern Europe segment for net proceeds of $5.8, subject to normal post close working capital adjustments and simultaneously entered into franchise agreements with the new ownership of these businesses. In connection with the disposition we recognized a one-time loss on disposition of $5.8, which was included in the selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $13.3 and $1.7, respectively. The 2021 payments mainly related to franchise acquisitions in the United States and a contingent consideration payment associated with a previous acquisition. The 2020 payment represents a deferred consideration payment related to a previous acquisition.

Occasionally, we dispose of parts of our operations to optimize our global strategic and geographic footprint and synergies. On September 30, 2020 we disposed of four businesses (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria) in our Southern Europe segment for net proceeds of $5.8, subject to normal post close working capital adjustments and simultaneously entered into franchise agreements with the new ownership of these businesses.
