ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS | ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS We consolidate assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the purchase date and include earnings from acquisitions in consolidated earnings after the purchase date. ACQUISITION Sempra Texas Utilities TTHC In February 2020, STIH acquired an additional indirect 0.1975% interest in Oncor through its acquisition of a 1% interest in TTHC from Hunt Strategic Utility Investment, L.L.C. (Hunt), including notes receivable due from TTHC with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $6 million, for a total purchase price of approximately $23 million in cash, bringing Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor to approximately 80.45%. TTHC indirectly owns 100% of TTI, which owns 19.75% of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests. At the acquisition date, we determined the fair value of the notes receivable was $7 million based on a discounted cash flow model, and attributed $16 million to the investment in TTHC, which we recorded as an equity method investment. STIH’s acquisition of the 1% interest was the subject of a lawsuit filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the owners of the remaining 99% ownership interest in TTHC. STIH purchased its 1% interest in TTHC in February 2020 after the Delaware Court of Chancery decided, among other things, that STIH’s right to purchase the 1% interest was superior to that of the remaining owners of TTHC. The remaining owners appealed that decision and, in May 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling and remanded the case back to the Delaware Court of Chancery. In September 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery ordered, among other things, the rescission of STIH’s purchase of the 1% interest in TTHC. The parties have complied with the court’s order and Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor has returned to 80.25%. We received a full refund of the purchase price from Hunt in September 2020 and have fully unwound the acquisition. Sharyland Holdings In May 2019, Sempra Energy acquired an indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings for $95 million (net of $7 million post-closing adjustments) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with and prior to the consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Sharyland Holdings owned 100% of the membership interests in Sharyland Utilities, LP and Sharyland Utilities, LP converted into a limited liability company, named Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C. We account for our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings as an equity method investment. DIVESTITURES Sempra Renewables In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments to AEP for $569 million, net of transaction costs, and recorded a $61 million ($45 million after tax and NCI) gain, which is included in (Loss) Gain on Sale of Assets on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Upon completion of the sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist. Sempra LNG In February 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of its non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S. (comprised of Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas), which we classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018, to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners and received cash proceeds of $322 million, net of transaction costs. In January 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of other non-utility assets for $5 million.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with those businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, as the sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Upon completion of these sales, we no longer have continuing involvement in or the ability to exercise significant influence on the operating or financial policies of these operations. Accordingly, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Discontinued operations that were previously in the Sempra South American Utilities segment include our former 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our former 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our former interests in two energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. On April 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and our interest in Tecsur, to an affiliate of China Yangtze Power International (Hongkong) Co., Limited for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and recorded a pretax gain of $2,271 million ($1,499 million after tax). On June 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50% interest in Eletrans, to State Grid International Development Limited for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and recorded a pretax gain of $628 million ($248 million after tax). In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the pretax gains from the sales of our South American businesses are included in (Loss) Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations in the table below and the after-tax gains are included in (Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax, on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Summarized results from discontinued operations were as follows:
(1) Represents post-closing adjustments related to the sale of our equity interests in our Chilean businesses. (2) Results include activity until deconsolidation of our Peruvian businesses on April 24, 2020 and Chilean businesses on June 24, 2020. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and related liabilities classified as held for sale in discontinued operations.
(1) Primarily represents funds held in accordance with Peruvian tax law. As a result of the sales of our South American businesses, in the second quarter of 2020, we reclassified $645 million of cumulative foreign currency translation losses from AOCI to (Loss) Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations, which is included in (Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax, on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
