GoSkip Asset Acquisition

On March 11, 2025 (the "GoSkip Closing Date"), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "GoSkip Asset Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, on the GoSkip Closing Date, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of GoSkip (the "GoSkip Asset Acquisition") from a privately held company for approximately $4.8 million in cash consideration (the "GoSkip Cash Consideration"). Pursuant to the GoSkip Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets related to the GoSkip self-checkout line of business to expand its PAR Retail product and service offerings. GoSkip is a cloud-POS solution offering a suite of mobile checkout kiosks and scan-and-go products.

Under the terms of the GoSkip Asset Purchase Agreement, approximately $0.5 million of the GoSkip Cash Consideration was held back by the Company to cover general representations and warranties. As the representations and warranties are assumed to be accurate and release of the holdback is likely to occur, the holdback amount has been included in the total consideration transferred. The holdback amount will be released over two years, with 50% to be released one year after the GoSkip Closing Date and the remaining 50% to be released two years after the GoSkip Closing Date.

The Company incurred acquisition expenses related to the GoSkip Asset Acquisition of approximately $0.6 million which were capitalized as a component of the cost of the assets acquired.
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the GoSkip Closing Date, and no goodwill is recognized. The fair value determinations were based on management's estimates and assumptions, with the assistance of valuation consultants.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the fair values of assets and liabilities as of the GoSkip Closing Date were finalized. There were no measurement period adjustments made to the initial fair values of assets and liabilities recorded.

The following table presents management's purchase price allocation:

Intangible Assets

The Company identified two acquired intangible assets in the GoSkip Asset Acquisition: developed technology and customer relationships. The fair value of developed technology was determined utilizing the “relief from royalty” approach, which is a form of the income approach that attributes savings recognized from not having to pay a royalty for the use of an asset. The Company applied a seven-year economic life, a fair and reasonable royalty rate of 15.0%, and a discount rate of 26.0% in determining the GoSkip developed technology intangible fair value. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was determined utilizing the “multi-period excess earnings method”, which method is predicated upon the calculation of the net present value of after-tax net cash flows respectively attributable to each asset. The Company applied a 14.3% estimated annual attrition rate and discount rate of 26.0% in determining the GoSkip customer relationships intangible fair value. The estimated useful life of each of the foregoing identifiable intangible assets was determined to be: seven years for developed technology and seven years for customer relationships.

On the Delaget Closing Date, the Company paid equity holders of Delaget $16.9 million in cash (the "Delaget Cash Consideration"), and committed to issue 1,488,669 shares of common stock. The closing stock price as of the Delaget Closing Date was $72.67, resulting in equity consideration of $108.2 million (the "Delaget Equity Consideration") and a total purchase consideration of $125.1 million (the "Delaget Merger Consideration"). The Delaget Merger Consideration is subject to adjustment for any cash, indebtedness (including debt-like items), and net working capital of the acquired entities. The Delaget Equity Consideration was not issued as of December 31, 2024 and was included in equity consideration payable in the consolidated financial statements. However, the Company determined that control of Delaget was transferred to the Company on December 31, 2024 due to the transfer of the Delaget Cash Consideration, the establishment of the equity consideration payable on the Delaget Closing Date, and the Company gaining full authority over the operations and decision-making of Delaget. On January 6, 2025, pursuant to the Delaget Merger Agreement, the Company issued 1,488,669 shares of common
stock as consideration for the Delaget Acquisition. The total value of the shares issued was $109.7 million as of January 6, 2025. The Company acquired Delaget to complement its Operator Cloud solutions.

On the Delaget Closing Date, $1.9 million of the Delaget Cash Consideration was deposited into separate escrow accounts administered by third parties to fund potential post-closing adjustments and obligations.

Additionally, on the Delaget Closing Date, $2.3 million of the Delaget Cash Consideration was deposited into an indemnification escrow fund to be held for up to 36 months to fund potential post-closing indemnification obligations of Delaget equity holders in accordance with the Delaget Merger Agreement. The Company recognized indemnification assets and liabilities of approximately $2.3 million to other assets and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively, to account for amounts deposited into the third party indemnification escrow fund.

The Delaget Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for at their determined respective fair values as of the Delaget Closing Date. The fair value determinations were based on management's estimates and assumptions, with the assistance of valuation and independent tax consultants.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, fair values of assets and liabilities as of the Delaget Closing Date were finalized to reflect ongoing acquisition valuation analyses and net working capital adjustments. These adjustments included changes to deferred taxes and goodwill to refine tax exposure estimates, and changes to accounts receivable, property and equipment, accrued expenses, and goodwill to reflect net working capital adjustments.
