1 
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had entered into agreements to refranchise additional territories in North America. These operations met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and we were required to record their assets and liabilities at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell based on the agreed-upon sale price. The Company recognized a noncash loss of $494 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of writing down the assets to their fair value less costs to sell. The loss was calculated based on Level 3 inputs. Refer to Note 2.
2 
The Company recognized losses of $18 million and $195 million during years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, due to impairment charges on certain intangible assets. The charges were primarily determined by comparing the fair value of the assets to the current carrying value. The fair value of the assets was derived using discounted cash flow analyses based on Level 3 inputs. Refer to Note 1 and Note 17.
3 
In 2014, the Company recognized a loss of $32 million as a result of the owners of the majority interest in certain Brazilian bottling operations exercising their option to acquire from us a 10 percent interest in the entity's outstanding shares. The exercise price was lower than our carrying value. This loss was determined using Level 3 inputs. In 2013, the Company recognized a gain of $139 million as a result of Coca-Cola FEMSA, an equity method investee, issuing additional shares of its own stock at a per share amount greater than the carrying value of the Company's per share investment. Accordingly, the Company is required to treat this type of transaction as if the Company had sold a proportionate share of its investment in Coca-Cola FEMSA. This gain was determined using Level 1 inputs. Refer to Note 17.
4 
The Company recognized a net loss of $114 million on the exchange of shares it previously owned in certain equity method investees for shares in the newly formed entity CCEJ. CCEJ is also an equity method investee. The net loss represents the difference between the carrying value of the shares the Company relinquished and the fair value of the CCEJ shares received as a result of the transaction. The net loss and the initial carrying value of the Company's investment were calculated based on Level 1 inputs. Refer to Note 17.
