Divestiture
Divestiture	7.Divestiture In the first quarter of 2018, the Company refranchised 31 restaurants owned through a joint venture in the Denver, Colorado market. The Company held a 60% ownership share in the restaurants being refranchised. The noncontrolling interest portion of the joint venture arrangement was previously recorded at redemption value within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Total consideration for the asset sale of the restaurants was $4.8 million, consisting of cash proceeds of $3.7 million, including cash paid for various working capital items, and notes financed by Papa John’s for $1.1 million. In connection with the divestiture, we wrote off $745,000 of goodwill. This goodwill was allocated based on the relative fair value of the sales proceeds versus the total fair value of the company-owned restaurants’ reporting unit. There was a refranchising gain of $204,000 on the sale. As a result of assigning our interest in obligations under property leases as a condition of the refranchising of the Denver market, we are contingently liable for payment of the 31 leases. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2024. As of April 1, 2018, the estimated maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make in the event of nonpayment by the primary lessees was $3.9 million. The fair value of the guarantee is not material.
