On December 11, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of DeVry University to Cogswell Education, LLC (“Cogswell”) for de minimis consideration. As the sale represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on Adtalem’s operations and financial results, DeVry University is presented in Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation. The purchase agreement includes an earn-out entitling Adtalem to payments of up to $20.0 million over a ten-year period payable based on DeVry University’s financial results. Adtalem received $5.5 million, $4.1 million, and $2.9 million during fiscal year 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, related to the earn-out. We have received a total of $12.5 million related to the earn-out thus far. In connection with the closing of the sale, Adtalem loaned to DeVry University $10.0 million under the terms of the promissory note, dated as of December 11, 2018 (the “DeVry Note”). The DeVry Note bore interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and had a maturity date of January 1, 2022. We received the loan repayment of $10.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.

On March 10, 2022, Adtalem completed the sale of ACAMS, Becker, and OCL to Wendel Group and Colibri Group (“Purchaser”), pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) dated January 24, 2022. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Adtalem sold the issued and outstanding shares of ACAMS, Becker, and OCL to the Purchaser for $962.7 million, net of cash of $21.5 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. In addition, on June 17, 2022, Adtalem completed the sale of EduPristine for de minimis consideration, which resulted in a transfer of $1.9 million in cash. We recorded a loss of $3.6 million in fiscal year 2023 for post-closing working capital adjustments to the initial sales prices for ACAMS, Becker, and OCL and a tax return to provision adjustment, which is included in (loss) gain on disposal of discontinued operations before income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. These divestitures are the culmination of a long-term strategy to sharpen the focus of our portfolio and enhance our ability to address the growing and unmet demand for healthcare professionals in the U.S. As these sales represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on Adtalem’s operations and financial results, these businesses previously included in our former Financial Services segment are presented in Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.

The following is a summary of income statement information reported as discontinued operations, which includes expense from ongoing litigation costs and settlements related to the DeVry University and Carrington College divestitures, ACAMS, Becker, OCL, and EduPristine operations through the date of each respective sale, the gain on disposal of these entities, a loss from post-closing working capital adjustments to the initial sales prices and a tax return to provision adjustment, and the earn-outs we received (in thousands):
