There were no acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2019

2018 Acquisitions

On November 7, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tapingo Ltd. (“Tapingo”) for approximately $152.1 million, including $151.7 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired of $1.5 million) and $0.4 million of other non-cash consideration. Tapingo is a leading platform for campus food ordering with direct integration into college meal plans and point of sale systems. The acquisition of Tapingo has enhanced the Company’s diner network on college campuses.

On September 13, 2018, the Company acquired SCVNGR, Inc. d/b/a LevelUp (“LevelUp”) for approximately $369.4 million, including $366.8 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired of $6.0 million) and $2.6 million of other non-cash consideration. LevelUp is a leading provider of mobile diner engagement and payment solutions for national and regional restaurant brands. The acquisition of LevelUp has simplified the Company’s integrations with restaurants’ systems, increased diner engagement and accelerated product development.

The Company assumed Tapingo and LevelUp employees’ unvested incentive stock option (“ISO”) awards as of the respective closing dates. Approximately $0.4 million and $2.6 million of the fair value of the assumed ISO awards granted to acquired Tapingo and LevelUp employees, respectively, was attributable to the pre-combination services of the awardees and was included in the respective purchase prices. These amounts are reflected within goodwill in the respective purchase price allocations. As of the respective acquisition dates, aggregate post-combination expense of approximately $21.4 million was expected to be recognized related to the combined assumed ISO awards over the remaining post-combination service periods.

The results of operations of Tapingo and LevelUp have been included in the Company’s financial statements since November 7, 2018 and September 13, 2018, respectively.

The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisitions over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value of LevelUp’s technology team, the ability to simplify integrations with restaurants on the Company’s platform and the expanded breadth and depth of the Company’s network of diners and campus relationships. The total goodwill related to the acquisitions of Tapingo and LevelUp of $418.1 million is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Tapingo and LevelUp were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the closing dates of November 7, 2018 and September 13, 2018, respectively. See Note 6, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, for a description of changes to the purchase price allocations for Tapingo and LevelUp during the year ended December 31, 2019.

2017 Acquisitions

On October 10, 2017, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Eat24, LLC (“Eat24”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Yelp Inc., for approximately $281.7 million, including $281.4 million in net cash paid and $0.3 million

of other non-cash consideration. Eat24 provides online and mobile food ordering for restaurants and diners across the United States. The acquisition expanded the breadth and depth of the Company’s national network of restaurant partners and active diners.

The Company granted restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards to acquired Eat24 employees in replacement of their unvested equity awards as of the closing date. Approximately $0.3 million of the fair value of the replacement RSU awards granted to acquired Eat24 employees was attributable to the pre-combination services of the Eat24 awardees and was included in the $281.7 million purchase price. This amount is reflected within goodwill in the purchase price allocation. As of the acquisition date, post-combination expense of approximately $4.1 million was expected to be recognized related to the replacement awards over the remaining post-combination service period.

On August 23, 2017, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain expressly specified liabilities of A&D Network Solutions, Inc. and Dashed, Inc. (collectively, “Foodler”). The purchase price for Foodler was $51.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million. Foodler is an independent online food-ordering company with an established diner base in the Northeast United States. The acquisition expanded the breadth and depth of the Company’s restaurant network, active diners and delivery network.

The results of operations of Eat24 and Foodler have been included in the Company’s financial statements since October 10, 2017 and August 23, 2017, respectively.

The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value of increasing the breadth and depth of the Company’s network of restaurants and diners. The total goodwill related to the acquisitions of Eat24 and Foodler of $153.4 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Eat24 and Foodler were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the respective closing dates of October 10, 2017 and August 23, 2017.

Additional Information

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 restaurant relationships, diner acquisition, developed technology and trademarks as follows:

Relief from royalty

The fair value of the LevelUp below-market lease was measured based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease and an estimate of current fair market lease rates measured over the non-cancelable remaining term of the lease. As of January 1, 2019, the below-market lease intangible asset was derecognized from acquired intangible assets resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of operating lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets upon adoption of ASC Topic 842.

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. Unobservable inputs were reflective of the types of assumptions that market participants would use in measuring the fair values of similar assets and liabilities such as, among others, discount rates, estimated future cash flows, initial developer costs, expected profits, royalty rates, rates of attrition and expected rates of return.

The Company incurred certain expenses directly and indirectly related to acquisitions of $2.7 million, $6.9 million, and $5.6 million which were recognized in general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
