Total consideration paid was $87 million (NTS consortium total of $283 million), all of which was funded using asset level debt raised on closing. As a result of the purchase price exceeding the previous carrying value of non-controlling interests, a loss of $32 million was recognized directly in ownership changes and recorded within Other items on the Consolidated Statements of Equity.
