On January 7, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of the CarStory business, a leader in AI-powered analytics and digital services for automotive retail, through the acquisition of 100% of Vast Holdings, Inc. Leveraging its machine learning, CarStory brings predictive market data to Vroom’s national ecommerce and vehicle operations platform. As part of Vroom, we expect CarStory to continue to offer its digital retailing services to dealers, automotive financial services companies and others in the automotive industry.

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the aggregate purchase price was approximately $120.0 million, comprised of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. On the closing date, the Company paid $77.5 million in cash and issued 1,072,117 shares of common stock. The purchase price is subject to adjustment for certain working capital adjustments and post-closing indemnities.

Due to the proximity of the acquisition date to the Company’s filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the initial accounting for the CarStory business combination is incomplete, and therefore the Company is unable to disclose certain information required by ASC 805, Business Combinations, including the provisional amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and goodwill.
