2. Business Combination

On August 14, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Zencoder, a privately-held company based in San Francisco, California. The purchase price of Zencoder was approximately $27,379 and was funded by cash on hand. The Company acquired Zencoder to enhance and extend the Company’s existing offerings with Zencoder’s media encoding services. The Company believes that the unification of Zencoder’s audio and video encoding service with the Company’s existing offerings will enable new and improved scalable services that will help customers reduce the cost and complexity of video encoding and delivery.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the results of operations of Zencoder have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the merger and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. Transaction costs and retention costs associated with the transaction have been expensed as incurred.

The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates.

In addition to the $27,379 purchase price, per the merger agreement, approximately $2,667 is to be paid to retain certain key employees over a two year period as services are performed. Given that the retention amount is related to a future service requirement, the related expense is being recorded as compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the expected service period. The Company recorded merger-related expenses of $545 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to such costs.
