Our acquisition date estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected was nil. The completion of the initial purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for trade receivables, accrued liability

balances, deferred revenue as well as potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation on or before June 18, 2026.
