Note 7. Acquisition of HyperPointe

On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired all of the equity interests in gcg Connect, LLC, d/b/a HyperPointe, a New Jersey limited liability company (“HyperPointe”), for an aggregate initial purchase price of approximately $7,257, which consisted of (i) $7,121 in cash offset by settlement of intercompany accounts payable of $770,  and (ii) the issuance of 552,487 shares of common stock of the Company to the equity owners of HyperPointe, plus additional consideration in the form of a potential earnout of up to $7,500 (the “Acquisition”). The portion of the initial consideration for the Acquisition comprising the 552,487 shares of Company common stock was valued at $906 based upon a closing reference price of $1.64 as contemplated by the acquisition agreement.

XWELL also agreed pursuant to an earnout provision to issue up to an additional $7,500 in cash or stock if certain earnout performance targets are met during an earnout period ending on the third anniversary of the date of the acquisition agreement. For purposes of the earnout, the Common Stock will also be valued on a per share basis. The earnout payments may be satisfied in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock (priced at $1.81), or (iii) any combination thereof, at the election of the equity owners of HyperPointe, provided that in the event (and to the extent) XWELL does not have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock that are unissued and not duly reserved for issuance upon options, warrants or other convertible securities, then XWELL shall be permitted to settle any earnout payments in cash. As a result, XWELL may issue up to an additional 4,143,647 shares of Common Stock; however, the actual number of shares that will be issued under the earnout, if any, will depend on (i) the extent of fulfillment of the earnout performance targets at the time of calculation of the earnout and (ii) the elections and conditions described in the previous sentence.

XWELL granted an equity award to the previous Chief Executive Officer of HyperPointe and who was offered employment with the Company in connection with XWELL’s acquisition of the equity interests of HyperPointe, as an inducement material to such new employee entering into employment with the Company.

The employee received stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of XWELL common stock. The stock options were issued upon the closing of the acquisition of HyperPointe and employee’s hire date in connection therewith (the "Grant Date"), and all stock options included within the equity inducement award have an exercise price of $1.64 per share, resulting in the fair value of $1,457 which would be recognized in expense on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. One-third of the options will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the employee's continued employment with XWELL or its subsidiaries on such vesting dates. The stock options have a ten-year term.

The Company has recognized the assets and liabilities based on the acquisition date fair values. Based on an assessment of probability, the Company concluded that the acquisition did not result in the creation of any contingent consideration as of the Acquisition date and as of September 30, 2022.

Determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment.

The fair value of intangible assets other than Goodwill was determined primarily using income approaches. This included estimated multi-period excess earnings valuation method for Customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty valuation for the tradename.
