(8) Business Combination

On January 3, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of EVRYTHNG, a London-based product cloud company. The aggregate preliminary purchase price for the acquisition was $36,634, which included the fair value of the 772 shares issued of common stock of the Company of $31,519 and the warrants issued to purchase 231 shares of common stock of the Company of $1,601. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance of $40.84, the strike price of the warrants of $36.56 and expected volatility of 60%. The aggregate preliminary purchase price also included $3,986 of cash paid by the Company to pay closing costs on behalf of the EVRYTHNG sellers, less cash acquired of $474. A portion of the consideration was held back by the Company to secure any post-closing adjustments to the initial consideration and the indemnification obligations of the EVRYTHNG sellers.

In August 2022, the Company issued 22 additional shares of common stock of the Company at the fair value of $872, that were originally held back for post-closing adjustments.

In January 2023, the Company issued 10 additional shares of common stock of the Company at the fair value of $428, that were originally held back for indemnification obligations.

The Company entered into a Loan Agreement with EVRYTHNG (the “Loan Agreement”) on December 10, 2021 pursuant to the terms of the acquisition. The Loan Agreement provided a loan facility of $2,000 to EVRYTHNG at an interest rate of 1% per annum. The original loan maturity date was December 9, 2022. The loan balance of $2,001 on January 3, 2022, was included in the purchase price allocation below, as the liability was assumed by the combined company.

The following table presents the final purchase price allocation:

		*Purchase Price*
		*Allocation*
		*January 3, 2022*
Trade accounts receivable, net		$	762
Other current assets			2,178
Property and equipment, net			99
Lease right of use assets and other long-term assets			484
Intangibles			35,720
Goodwill			7,970

Deferred revenue			(1,678	)

Total purchase price		$	37,934

The Company allocated $35,720 of the purchase price to intangible assets, which was comprised of $24,170 of developed technology and $11,550 of customer relationships. Goodwill recognized of $7,970 from the acquisition was primarily attributed to an assembled workforce and expected synergies. The Company incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of $1,140 during 2021 and $447 in 2022, respectively.

Developed Technology

Developed technology primarily consists of intellectual property of proprietary software products and platforms that are marketed for sale. The Company valued the developed technology by applying the cost method. The significant assumption and estimate used under the cost method was development costs. The Company is amortizing the developed technology intangible asset on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years.

Customer Relationships

The Company recorded the customer relationships intangible asset separately from goodwill based on determination of the length, strength and contractual nature of the relationships that EVRYTHNG shared with its customers. The Company valued the single group of customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. The significant assumptions used in the income approach include estimates about future expected cash flows from customer contracts, the customer attrition rate and the discount rate. The Company is amortizing the customer relationships intangible asset on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years.
