BUSINESS COMBINATION
14. BUSINESS COMBINATION
 
On January 30, 2024, we acquired the biosensor and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (“CGM”) assets of privately held Waveform Technologies, Inc. (“Waveform”) for initial consideration of US$12.5 million in cash and 36 million ‘A’ Ordinary shares (represented by 1.8 million ADSs) of the Company plus contingent consideration of a maximum of US$20 million. We intend to update the Waveform CGM device, which is not being marketed, and optimize it for broad adoption and then evolve this platform technology to measure and analyze other valuable biomarkers and related datapoints. Our vision is to develop a portfolio of technologies that can offer users and clinicians valuable actionable health and wellness insights. The integrated set of activities and assets purchased will significantly contribute to achieving our vision and its associated outputs.
 
Waveform, a developer of novel and proprietary new technologies for diabetes care, received a CE Mark for its Cascade CGM in 2019, which was commercially available in Europe. The primary use of the device is to continuously monitor glucose in the human body. The Waveform CGM technology was developed over many years and contains innovative and proprietary aspects with what we believe are important benefits. Waveform granted a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to DexCom, Inc. and its affiliates, for some of the patents acquired by us, which we retain the right to use and exploit.
