Acquisition of North Star Y, Pty Ltd

On June 1, 2023, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of North Star Y, Pty Ltd (“North Star”), Braze’s then exclusive reseller in Australia and New Zealand. The transaction provides Braze with a direct market presence in Australia and New Zealand, along with local market expertise from the North Star team.

The total purchase price consideration, as adjusted, of $26.9 million consisted of cash payments of $17.6 million, $6.1 million in issuances of Braze Class A common stock, and contingent consideration payments, the fair value of which was $1.8 million as of the acquisition date. The sellers are eligible to receive cash earn-out payments calculated based on qualified
revenue performance metrics for the two individual twelve month periods immediately subsequent to the closing of the acquisition. The earn-out payments are capped at $10.0 million for the first earn-out period and $16.0 million for the second earn-out period. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability has been influenced by developments in the significant inputs for such calculation, notably the new and incremental actual and forecasted deal closings from the Australia-New Zealand region. As a result, during the quarter ended July 31, 2024, the Company maintains the contingent consideration liability of $0.1 million which represents the liability for the second earn-out period.

The preliminary purchase price, as adjusted, was allocated to intangible assets in the amount of $3.8 million and goodwill in the amount of $28.4 million based on the respective estimated fair values. The resulting goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

An indemnification holdback of $2.8 million that was previously recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets was extinguished in the three months ended April 30, 2024. The indemnification holdback represents security for potential indemnification claims against the seller. The indemnification holdback was released in full.

Of the initial $0.5 million working capital holdback, $0.3 million has been released based on the completion of post-close adjustment procedures.

The results of operations of North Star, which were not material, have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended July 31, 2024.
