Acquisitions
Our Company’s acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $40 million and $11 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021, respectively.
Divestitures
Proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021 totaled $229 million and $1,950 million, respectively. In 2022, we sold our ownership interest in one of our equity method investments and received cash proceeds of $123 million, resulting in a gain of $13 million. In 2021, we sold our ownership interest in Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (“CCA”), an equity method investee, to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc, also an equity method investee. We received cash proceeds of $1,738 million and recognized a gain of $695 million as a result of the sale and the related reversal of cumulative translation adjustments. In 2021, we also sold a portion of our ownership interest in one of our equity method investments and received cash proceeds of $134 million, resulting in a gain of $63 million. All of the gains were recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our consolidated statements of income.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
The Company had certain bottling operations in Asia Pacific that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As a result, we were required to record their assets and liabilities at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. As the fair value less any costs to sell exceeded the carrying value, the related assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying value. These assets and liabilities were included in the Bottling Investments operating segment. The Company expects these bottling operations to be refranchised during the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval.
The following table presents information related to the major classes of assets and liabilities that were classified as held for sale and were included in the line items prepaid expenses and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets (in millions):
