Acquisition of Embee Mobile
In November 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it acquired all of the outstanding shares of Embee Mobile Inc. (“Embee”), a company incorporated under the laws of the United States. Embee is a mobile insights provider and market leader in mobile audience analytics, consumer panel and mobile sampling. The purchase consideration included a cash amount of $9,060, subject to customary closing adjustments and additional contingent consideration payments to shareholders of Embee in the aggregate amount of up to $8,300, to be paid over a two-year period, subject to the achievement of certain milestones. The assets and liabilities and the results of the operations of Embee were consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing the date of the acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $7,079 and is measured based on estimated future cash outflows, based upon the probabilities-weighted fair values of multiple discounted cash flow analysis. The extent to which the actual contingent consideration payment differs from the probability-weighted analysis will result in adjustments to this liability in future periods. The contingent consideration was classified as a liability, and as a result was measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and will be remeasured to fair value on each subsequent reporting date until the contingency is settled (Level 3 withing fair value hierarchy). In addition, the Company shall pay an amount up to $2,500 for the retention of employees for a period of one to two years following the acquisition, these payments will be expensed over the requisite service period and are included in the purchase consideration in accordance with ASC 805.

The preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Embee’s acquisition were based on preliminary calculations and valuations, and the estimates and assumptions for this acquisition is subject to change
as the Company obtains additional information during the respective measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date. The following summarizes the purchase price allocation of Embee’s acquisition:
