Description of contingent consideration We acquired 100% of the stock of Ample Organics by issuing 3.3 million exchangeable shares of one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The exchangeable shares may be exchanged, at the option of the holder, for shares of Akerna common stock on a one-for-one basis, therefore the exchangeable shares issued were valued at $7.65 per share, the closing price of an equivalent share of Akerna common stock, for an aggregate value of $25.2 million. The exchangeable shares are economically equivalent to shares of Akerna common stock. In addition to the stock consideration, we paid $5.7 million in cash, which was used to settle all of Ample's then outstanding debt and transaction costs. The agreement provides for contingent consideration of up to CAD$10,000,000, payable in exchangeable shares, payable if Ample's Recurring Revenue recognized during the 12 months after the acquisition date is CAD$9,000,000 or more. The contingent consideration amount is reduced by an amount equal to the product of CAD$6.67 multiplied by the difference between CAD$9,000,000 and the amount of Recurring Revenue realized during the 12 months following the acquisition. The contingent consideration was recorded as the estimated fair value of $0.8 million as of the acquisition date and will be adjusted to the estimated fair value in each subsequent reporting period until settlement.
