3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On May 10, 2021, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated April 21, 2021, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary in the Netherlands, Blink Holdings, B.V. closed on the acquisition from the shareholders of Blue Corner NV, a Belgian company (“Blue Corner”), of all of the outstanding capital stock of Blue Corner. Headquartered in Belgium, with sales representative offices in several other European cities, Blue Corner owns and operates an EV charging network across Europe. The acquisition of Blue Corner was made to enter the European market and provide an opportunity to expand the Company’s footprint in this region. The purchase price for the acquisition of all of Blue Corner’s outstanding capital stock was approximately $23,775 (or 20,000), consisting of approximately $22,985 (or 19,000) in cash and approximately $775 (700) represented by 32,382 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). The fair value of the Consideration Shares was calculated based on the average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which equaled $37.66 (or 30.88) per share, reduced by a discount for illiquidity due to the 12 month lockup that exists on any sales or transfers. The Company executed management agreements with key Blue Corner personnel, including equity incentive packages consisting of additional shares of the Company’s common stock which is compensatory and not included in the purchase price for this acquisition. The Company entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, under which the Company paid approximately $2,100 (1,725) of the purchase price into an escrow account for a period of up to 18 months following the closing to cover any losses or damages the Company may incur by reason of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Blue Corner under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Blue Corner, the Company engaged a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The Blue Corner acquisition will necessitate the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date, including intangible assets, accounts receivable, and certain fixed assets.
