Note 6. Acquisitions

The purchase price allocation is preliminary. The Company continues to collect information with regard to its estimates and assumptions, including potential liabilities and contingencies. The Company will record adjustments to the fair value of the net assets acquired and goodwill within the twelve months measurement period, if necessary.

SignRequest B.V.

On February 8, 2021, we completed the acquisition of SignRequest B.V. (SignRequest), an e-signature provider, for total aggregate consideration of $54.3 million comprised of a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock. Box acquired SignRequest to develop Box Sign, an e-signature capability that will be developed on Sign-Request’s technology and natively integrated into Box.

The consideration paid was $44.3 million of cash and 550,366 shares of our Class A common stock valued at $10.0 million.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total final purchase price was allocated to SignRequest’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Of the total purchase price, $43.4 million was allocated to goodwill, $14.9 million to the acquired developed technology, $2.5 million to deferred tax liability and the remainder to net liabilities assumed which were not material. The goodwill recognized was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of the acquired developed technology into the Box service. Goodwill is non-deductible for tax purposes.

Cloud FastPath

On February 16, 2021, we purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of, and hired certain employees from, Cloud FastPath, a cloud-based content migration solution, for total consideration of $14.8 million paid in cash. We entered into this agreement with Cloud FastPath to supplement and enhance Box Shuttle, our full-service content migration program.

The fair value of the consideration transferred on the date of purchase totaled $14.8 million, which consisted of cash consideration of $12.4 million and $2.4 million which has been held back for fifteen months from the date of purchase to secure the indemnification obligations of the Seller.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total final purchase price was allocated to Cloud FastPath’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the date of purchase. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Of the total purchase price, $13.2 million was allocated to goodwill, $5.8 million to the acquired developed technology, $4.8 million to deferred revenue and the remainder to net assets assumed which were not material. The goodwill recognized was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of the acquired developed technology into the Box service. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition dates and were not material. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because they were also not material to the consolidated results of operations.
