DIVESTITURES

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company launched an asset sale program designed to divest assets at attractive multiples, reduce debt levels and improve cash flow and liquidity. The following divestitures have resulted from this program.

On January 3, 2020, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Oakmont Memorial Park, Oakmont Funeral Home, Redwood Chapel, Inspiration Chapel and Oakmont Crematory located in California pursuant to the terms of an asset sale agreement (the “Oakmont Agreement”) with Carriage Funeral Holdings, Inc. for an aggregate cash purchase price of $33.0 million (the “Oakmont Sale”). The divested assets consisted of one cemetery, one funeral home and certain related assets. The Oakmont Sale resulted in a gain of $24.4 million for the Company, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net proceeds from the sale were used to redeem an aggregate $30.3 million principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes as required by the Indenture.

On April 7, 2020, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the cemetery, funeral establishment and crematory commonly known as Olivet Memorial Park, Olivet Funeral and Cremation Services and Olivet Memorial Park & Crematory pursuant to the terms of an asset sale agreement (the “Olivet Agreement”) with Cypress Lawn Cemetery Association for an aggregate cash purchase price of $25.0 million, subject to certain adjustments (the “Olivet Sale”), and the assumption of certain liabilities, including $17.1 million in land purchase obligations. The Olivet Sale resulted in a gain of $7.2 million for the Company, which is included in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company used net proceeds of $20.5 million to redeem additional Senior Secured Notes as required by the Indenture.

On November 3, 2020, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the Company’s remaining California properties, consisting of five cemeteries, six funeral establishments and four crematories (the “Remaining California Assets”) pursuant to the terms of an asset sale agreement (the “California Agreement”) with certain entities owned by John Yeatman and Guy Saxton for a cash purchase price of $7.1 million, subject to certain closing adjustments (the “Remaining California Sale” and together with the Olivet Sale, the “Total California Sale”). The Company used net proceeds of $5.7 million to redeem $5.6 million in principal amount of additional Senior Secured Notes as required by the Indenture. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.2 million to reduce the carrying value of the Remaining California Assets to their fair value, which is presented in Net gain on sale of businesses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

On November 6, 2020, the Company entered into an asset sale agreement (the “Clearstone Agreement”) with Clearstone Memorial Partners, LLC to sell substantially all of the Company’s assets in Oregon and Washington, consisting of nine cemeteries, ten funeral establishments and four crematories for a net cash purchase price of $6.2 million, subject to certain adjustments (the “Clearstone Sale”).

The Clearstone Agreement to sell the Clearstone Assets, together with the other divestitures completed in 2020 described above, represents a strategic exit from the West Coast. Therefore, the results of operations of the Clearstone Assets, and of the businesses sold in 2020 for the period before their respective sales, have been presented as discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the prior period has been reclassified. Additionally, all of the assets and liabilities associated with the Clearstone Assets have been classified as held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, and the prior period has been reclassified. The assets and liabilities of the businesses sold in 2020 have been presented as held for sale on the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2019.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
