Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Guilded Acquisition

On August 16, 2021 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired all outstanding equity interests of Guilded, Inc., (“Guilded”), a privately-held company, that operates a communications platform for connecting gaming communities. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The Acquisition Date fair value of the consideration transferred was $77.6 million, which consisted of $46.3 million paid in cash and 0.5 million shares of Class A common stock with a fair value of $31.3 million. The aggregate purchase consideration for Guilded was comprised of the following (in thousands):



	Fair Value
Cash paid	$	46,285
Common stock issued	22,744
Replacement awards attributable to pre-acquisition service	8,530
Total purchase price	$	77,559

The acquisition-related costs were not material and were recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a stock-based consideration revesting agreement with the Guilded founder. The portion of the fair value of the common stock associated with pre-acquisition service of the Guilded founder represented a component of the total purchase consideration, as presented above. 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. Management determined the preliminary fair values based on a number of factors, including a valuation from an independent third-party valuation firm. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce and anticipated synergies arising from the acquisition. The goodwill recorded in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date (in thousands):


	August 16, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	593
Goodwill	58,503
Identified intangible assets	19,600
Deferred tax liabilities	(999)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(138)
Total purchase price	$	77,559

The following table presents details of the identifiable assets acquired at the Acquisition Date (in thousands):


	Carrying Amount		Estimated Useful Life (Years)

Trade Name	500		5
Total	$	19,600

The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase consideration as soon as practicable, pending finalization of income taxes. The Company currently expects to finalize this allocation during its third quarter ending September 30, 2022.

The acquisition is not material to the Company for the periods presented, and therefore, pro forma information has not been presented.
