Wavecell Acquisition
On July 17, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Wavecell Pte. Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (“Wavecell”), the equity holders of Wavecell (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Qualgro Partners Pte. Ltd., in its capacity as the representative of the equity holders of Wavecell. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares and other equity interests of Wavecell (the “Transaction”). This Transaction extends 8x8’s technology advantage as a fully-owned, cloud technology platform with UCaaS, CCaaS, video communication as a service ("VCaaS") and CPaaS solutions able to natively offer pre-packaged communications, contact center and video solutions and open APIs to embed these and other communications into an organization’s core business processes.
The total fair value of the purchase consideration of approximately $117.1 million was comprised of approximately $72.8 million in cash and $44.3 million in shares of common stock of the Company, of which approximately $10.4 million in cash and $8.5 million in equity have been heldback to cover potential indemnity claims made by the Company after the closing date. One-third of these heldback amounts are eligible to be released in twelve months from the date of the Transaction and the remainder in eighteen months from the date of the Transaction. The heldback cash of $3.5 million and $6.9 million are recorded in restricted cash, current and restricted cash, non-current, respectively and other accrued liabilities and other liabilities, non-current, respectively, in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The holdback of $8.5 million in equity, of which $2.8 million is included in current other accrued liabilities, and $5.7 million is included in other liabilities, non-current, is reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, the Company issued $13.2 million in time-based restricted stock awards and $6.6 million in performance based restricted stock awards all of which vest over the next three years, and which the Company will expense over the same such period.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method and, accordingly, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Wavecell is based on a preliminary valuation and, as such, the Company's estimates and allocations to certain assets, liabilities, and tax estimates are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information becomes available. The goodwill recognized was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of Wavecell and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
