ELECTRIC BLUE LIMITED ACQUISITION

 

On April 22, 2022, pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 22, 2022, the Company acquired, through its Dutch subsidiary, Blink Holdings B.V., all of the outstanding capital stock of Electric Blue Limited, a private company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales (“EB”), from its shareholders. Headquartered in St. Albans, United Kingdom, EB is a leading provider of electric vehicle charging and sustainable energy solutions and technologies. EB works with local authorities and businesses to create the infrastructure the United Kingdom needs to meet the 2050 net zero emissions target and prepare for the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans.

 

The fair value purchase price for the acquisition of all of EB’s outstanding capital stock was $19,317, consisting of $12,651 in cash, 152,803 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $2,852, plus the contingent consideration described in the following paragraph.

In addition, provided EB reaches specified gross revenue or new EV charger installation targets over the three years post-closing, the Company also agreed to issue up to approximately $6,400 in additional shares of its common stock to EB shareholders (the “Contingent Consideration”). The Contingent Consideration was recorded at an estimated fair value of $3,814. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Contingent Consideration was $4,030. The Company uses a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach as a valuation technique to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are projections over the earn-out period, and the probability outcome percentages that are assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent consideration liabilities.

 

Of the purchase price to be issued to the EB shareholders at closing, approximately $650 in cash and 25,466 shares of common stock are being held in escrow accounts for periods of 12 months (cash escrow) and 18 months (stock escrow), respectively, following the closing to cover any losses or damages we may incur by reason of, among other things, any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by EB under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company finalized its fair value determination on the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and completed its assessment of the purchase price allocation. As a result, the Company recognized certain measurement period adjustments, as summarized in the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the tables below. Measurement period adjustments were recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments were determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments did not result in material adjustments to previously reported income statement amounts.

 

Goodwill was recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired and the amount is attributable to the reputation of the business acquired, the workforce in place and the synergies to be achieved from this acquisition. Goodwill of $10,443 from the acquisition of EB is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date of EB:
