(5) Acquisitions

From time to time, we acquire and invest in companies throughout the world, including franchises. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $1.7, which represents a deferred consideration payment related to a previous acquisition.

On April 3, 2019, we acquired the remaining 51% controlling interest in our Swiss franchise (“Manpower Switzerland”) to obtain full ownership of the entity. Additionally, as part of the purchase agreement we acquired the remaining 20% interest in Experis AG. Manpower Switzerland provides contingent staffing services under our Manpower brand in the four main language regions in Switzerland. Both Manpower Switzerland and Experis AG are reported in our Southern Europe segment. The aggregate cash consideration paid was $212.7 as of June 30, 2019 and was funded through cash on hand. Of the total consideration paid, $58.3 was for the acquired interests and the remaining $154.4 was for cash and cash equivalents. The total cash impact of the acquisition was an

inflow of $104.8, net of cash acquired of $317.5. The acquisition of the remaining interest of Experis AG was accounted for as an equity transaction as we previously consolidated the entity.

In connection with the business combination, we recognized a one-time, non-cash gain on the disposition of our previously held equity interest in Manpower Switzerland of $80.4, which is included within interest and other expenses (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Of the $80.4, $32.5 represented the reclassification of foreign currency translation adjustments related to the previously held equity interest, from accumulated other comprehensive income.

Excluding Manpower Switzerland and Experis AG, the total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $17.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This balance represents contingent consideration payments related to previous acquisitions, of which $13.0 had been recognized as a liability at the acquisition date.
