2019 Divestitures

We did not complete any divestitures in 2019.

2018 Divestitures

In January 2018, we sold our 15(c) board consulting services product line for $10.5 million and recorded a gain of $10.5 million on the sale.

2017 Divestitures
On June 30, 2017, we sold HelloWallet to KeyBank National Association, a bank-based financial services company. We recorded a gain on the sale of $16.7 million. This gain mainly represents the sale proceeds of $23.7 million less $2.4 million of goodwill and the write-off of the remaining net book value of the acquired intangible assets. As some aspects of HelloWallet had been integrated into Morningstar's single reporting unit, the goodwill attributable to this transaction was calculated using a relative fair value allocation method.

The sale of HelloWallet did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation because the divestiture did not represent a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results.

The following table summarizes the amounts included in the gain on sale of the business for the year ended December 31, 2017:
