On June 1, 2020, the Company sold its 51% interest in Crawford Compliance Inc. to a third party in exchange for a note receivable. The Company recognized a loss on the disposal of this entity of $912,000 in 2020. The results of Crawford Compliance Inc. were not material to the Company.

On June 12, 2020, the Company sold its 51% interest in Lloyd Warwick International (“LWI”) to a third party for cash proceeds of $19,600,000 and payment of $3,600,000 to settle intercompany indebtedness. The Company recognized an additional $700,000 related to net working capital adjustments under the terms of the acquisition agreement, which increased the purchase price to $20,300,000. The Company recognized a total gain of $14,700,000 ($11,700,000 net of tax) on the disposition for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Acquisitions

On July 21, 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 15% membership interests of WeGoLook, LLC for $310,000. The Company accounted for this subsequent acquisition as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”. The non-compete agreements with the former minority members were terminated under the terms of the purchase agreement. As a result, the Company recognized $1,100,000 of accelerated amortization on the non-compete agreement in 2020.

On October 1, 2020, the Company acquired most of the remaining 85% equity interests in Crawford Carvallo and its subsidiaries. Crawford Carvallo is a leading provider of loss adjusting, claims management solutions and legal services in Chile. The Company held a 15% interest in Crawford Carvallo prior to this acquisition.

The purchase price includes an initial cash payment of $11,600,000 and a maximum of $11,700,000 payable over the next six years based on achieving certain EBITDA performance goals as set forth in the purchase agreement. Net tangible assets acquired totaled $15,120,000, including $1,599,000 of cash. The difference between the aggregate fair value of total purchase considerations and the previously held noncontrolling interest, and the net tangible assets acquired represents definite-lived intangible assets, goodwill, and noncontrolling interest. The acquisition was funded primarily through additional borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

The preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Crawford Carvallo is as follows:
