Divestments

On June 7, 2021, we sold our Intellectual Property Management ("IPM") business, also known as our technology escrow services business, which we predominantly operated in the United States, for total gross consideration of approximately $217,200 (the “IPM Divestment”). As a result of the IPM Divestment, we recorded a gain on sale of approximately $181,200 to Other (income) expense, net, in the second quarter of 2021, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the sum of the carrying value of the IPM business.

We have concluded that the IPM Divestment does not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, as our decision to divest this business does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the revenues and expenses associated with this business are presented as a component of operating income (loss) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 through the closing date of the IPM Divestment and the cash flows associated with this business is presented as a component of cash flows from operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 through the closing date of the IPM Divestment.
