Leases
12. Leases
In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted ASC 842, Leases, which replaced the previous accounting standard on leases. The new lease standard is a right-of-use model, requiring most lessee agreements to be recorded on the balance sheet. The intent of the standard is to provide greater transparency about lessee obligations and activities. The primary impact to our financial statements is that most operating leases are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet and enhanced disclosures are required for both operating and finance leases. As permitted by ASC 842, our accounting policy is to evaluate lessee agreements with a minimum term greater than one year for recording on the balance sheet.
We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach, as of January 1, 2019. Prior year's financial results were not restated. On the adoption date, we recorded a right-of-use asset for $72 million in other assets, net, with a corresponding offset to other accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities for $25 million and $47 million, respectively. There was no impact to retained deficit from adoption of the new standard.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized rent expense of $30 million. The following table presents the components of lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Sale and Leaseback Transaction
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we completed the sale of our two headquarters buildings for aggregate receipts, net of closing costs, of $69 million. Our carrying value for the buildings approximated the proceeds from the sale. Contemporaneously with the closing of the sale, we entered into two leases pursuant to which we leased back the properties for initial terms of 12 years and 18 months, respectively, with renewal options up to 10 years in certain circumstances. Both leases entered into as a result of the sale and leaseback transaction are classified as operating leases. In connection with these leases, lease liabilities representing the fair value of future lease payments of $46 million were recorded within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and a non-cash net gain on sale of $10 million was recorded to Other, net, resulting in right-of-use assets of $56 million recorded within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The net proceeds from the sale will be used for general operating purposes.
Lease Commitments
We lease certain facilities under long term operating leases. Collectively, we lease approximately 1.3 million square feet of office space in 70 locations in 38 countries. Certain of our lease agreements contain renewal options, early termination options and/or payment escalations based on fixed annual increases, local consumer price index changes or market rental reviews. We recognize rent expense with fixed rate increases and/or fixed rent reductions on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
Our leases have remaining minimum terms that range between one and twelve years. Some of our leases include options to extend for up to ten additional years; others include options to terminate the agreement within two years. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of December 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):
