In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a stock-based consideration revesting agreement with the Guilded founder.

The remaining fair value of $8.5 million of these issued shares was excluded from the purchase price. These shares, which are subject to the recipients’ continued service with the Company, will be recognized ratably as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of 3 years.
The total purchase consideration of the Guilded acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based upon their respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition.
