On November 21, 2017, Aptiv acquired 100% of the equity interests of nuTonomy, Inc.

Of the $109 million, approximately $7 million is payable after one year and approximately $51 million is payable after each of the second and third years following the acquisition date. These remaining installments will be recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense ratably over the respective installment period.
Additionally, the total consideration includes a cash payment of up to $54 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance metrics over a future three-year period. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay under this arrangement is between $0 and $54 million. As of the closing date of the acquisition, the contingent consideration was assigned a fair value of approximately $24 million. Refer to Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the measurement of the contingent consideration liability. The results of operations of nuTonomy are reported within the Advanced Safety and User Experience segment from the date of acquisition. The Company acquired nuTonomy utilizing cash on hand.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the total purchase price allocated on a preliminary basis using information available, in the fourth quarter of 2017.
