On December 13, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain technology assets owned by Rakam, Inc. ("Rakam") for approximately $2.2 million in cash (including a holdback amount of $0.2 million included in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet - see Note 11). The technology asset is a cloud-agnostic customer data analytics platform that is deployed direct in the client's data warehouse. The purchased technology has been embedded into the Company's platform, enabling us to provide a single, unified segmentation solution and enable our clients to generate real-time insights and create custom audiences wherever their data resides.

The Company concluded the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business under ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business," and therefore has accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. The purchased asset was recorded as a $2.2 million developed technology intangible asset included in other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over a period of three years based on its estimated useful life.

In connection with acquisition, the Company extended employment agreements and granted $2.6 million of restricted stock units to two key Rakam employees that will be recorded as non-cash stock compensation (see Note 14). The restricted stock units vest over four years and were not considered part of the asset purchase price as they require future service and continued employment by those individuals to vest.

On April 21, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Diablo.ai, Inc. ("Diablo"), a first-party data resolution platform and graph builder, for approximately $9.7 million in cash (including a holdback amount of $1.2 million included in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet - see Note 11). The acquisition also included $1.9 million of assumed restricted stock awards that are recorded as non-cash stock compensation over a period of three years (see Note 14). Diablo's technology has been embedded into our unified platform and plays an integral role in our global identity capability. The Company omitted pro forma disclosures related to this acquisition as the pro forma effect of this acquisition was not material. The results of operations for this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated results beginning April 21, 2021.

The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (dollars in thousands):

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributed to the development of future technology and products. The goodwill balance is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The amount allocated to intangible assets in the table is developed technology with a useful life of three years.

On February 17, 2021, the Company acquired DataFleets, Ltd. ("DataFleets"), a cloud data platform that enables data silos to be unified without moving data or compromising privacy. This acquisition expands LiveRamp's data protection capabilities to unlock greater data access and control for its customers. In addition, the deal opens up new use cases as well as new markets for distributed data collaboration. The Company has included the financial results of DataFleets in the consolidated financial statements as of February 17, 2021. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration for DataFleets was approximately $67.2 million, which consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

On the acquisition date, the Company delivered $8.9 million of cash to an escrow agent according to the terms of the purchase agreement. The principal escrow was owned by the Company until the funds were delivered to the DataFleets sellers in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. All interest and earnings on the principal escrow amount remained the property of the Company.

In connection with the DataFleets acquisition, the Company agreed to pay $18.1 million to certain key employees (see Note 14). The consideration holdback is payable in three equal, annual increments, based on the anniversary dates of the acquisition, and is payable in shares of Company common stock. The number of shares to be issued annually will vary based on the market price of the shares on the date of issuance. The consideration holdback is not part of the purchase price, as vesting is dependent on continued employment of the key employees. It will be recorded as non-cash stock-based compensation expense over the three-year earning period.
