RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Carlyle Group L.P. and its affiliates ("Carlyle")
We entered into a consulting agreement with Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. ("Carlyle Investment"), an affiliate of Carlyle, pursuant to which Carlyle Investment provides certain consulting services to Axalta. Under this agreement, subject to certain conditions, we were required to pay an annual consulting fee to Carlyle Investment of $3.0 million payable in equal quarterly installments and reimburse Carlyle Investment for out-pocket expenses incurred in providing the consulting services. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded expense of $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to this consulting agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded no expense as a result of the termination of the consulting agreement upon completion of the IPO in November 2014.
Service King Collision Repair
Service King Collision Repair, a portfolio company of Carlyle, has purchased products from our distributors in the past and may continue to do so in the future. During the third quarter of 2014, Carlyle sold their majority interest in Service King Collision Repair, thus making the entity no longer a related party. Related party sales prior to this transaction were $2.0 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
