3. Acquisitions

GrubHub Holdings Inc.

On August 8, 2013 (the “Merger Date”), the Company acquired all of the equity interests of each of Seamless North America, LLC, Seamless Holdings and GrubHub Holdings Inc. pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement. In February 2014, GrubHub, Inc. changed its name to GrubHub Holdings Inc. The Company issued 23,318,580 shares of common stock and 8,098,430 shares of preferred stock to GrubHub Holdings Inc. in exchange for all of GrubHub Holdings Inc.’s equity interests (the “Merger”). The Company concluded that Seamless Holdings was deemed the acquirer for financial reporting purposes based on key deciding factors such as a majority ownership and majority of the board of director seats. Accordingly, the acquisition of GrubHub Holdings Inc. has been accounted for as a business combination. The results of operations of GrubHub Holdings Inc. have been included in the Company’s financial statements since August 9, 2013. GrubHub Holdings Inc. provides online food ordering through its website grubhub.com, and also operates allmenus.com, a website that stored and displayed approximately 275,000 menus at the time of acquisition. The Merger has expanded the Company’s existing markets and access to new customers and created revenue and cost synergies which management believes will contribute to future profits.

The fair value of the equity issued to GrubHub Holdings Inc. in connection with the Merger was approximately $421.5 million. The value of the equity was determined using the estimated fair value of the stock of GrubHub Holdings Inc. at the Merger Date based on a valuation of GrubHub Holdings Inc. performed by management. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of August 8, 2013. The fair value of the equity of $421.5 million included approximately $11.0 million related to the fair value of the replacement awards that were attributed to the pre-combination service period for GrubHub Holdings Inc. option holders. The fair value of the replacement awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Post combination expense of $12.5 million is recognized post-Merger for the unrecognized compensation expense related to GrubHub Holdings Inc. stock options. See Note 9, “Stock-Based Compensation”, for further details.

The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisition over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the opportunity to expand existing markets and access new customers and to create revenue and cost synergies that management believes will contribute to future profits. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company incurred certain expenses directly and indirectly related to the Merger of $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, which were recognized in general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the August 8, 2013 acquisition-date fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the GrubHub Holdings Inc. business combination:

The estimated fair values of the intangible assets acquired were determined based on a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches to measure the fair value of the customer (restaurant) and vendor relationships, developed technology and trademarks. The fair value of the trademarks was measured based on the relief from royalty method. The cost approach, specifically the cost to recreate method, was used to value the developed technology. The income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, was used to value the customer (restaurant) and vendor relationships. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
