See Note 10—Fair Value of Financial Instruments for more information. Divestiture of the Latin American Business On August 1, 2022, we completed the sale of our Latin American business to an affiliate of a fund advised by Stonepeak Partners LP in exchange for cash proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. We expect to recognize a gain on the transaction in operating income during the third quarter of 2022. In connection with the sale, Lumen has entered into a transition services agreement under which it will provide to the purchaser various support services and certain long-term agreements under which Lumen and the purchaser will provide to each other various network and other commercial services. Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation On July 25, 2022, we initiated a tender offer to repurchase (i) any and all of $1.575 billion aggregate principal amount of certain of our outstanding Level 3 Financing, Inc. senior notes and (ii) certain Lumen Technologies, Inc. and Embarq Florida, Inc. senior notes, subject to certain repurchase caps and sublimits and various other terms and conditions. This offer, which was made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 25, 2022, has an early tender date of August 5, 2022, and will expire on August 19, 2022, unless extended. In addition, we announced a consent solicitation to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, eliminate certain events of default, and modify certain redemption notice requirements contained in the respective indentures for Level 3 senior notes subject to the tender offer. Debt Repayment On August 3, 2022, Level 3 Financing, Inc. repaid approximately $700 million aggregate principal amount of its Tranche B 2027 Term Loan.
