NOTE 12: ACQUISITION

 

On March 31, 2020, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Lixoft, a French société par actions simplifiée (“Lixoft”). On April 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of all outstanding equity interests of Lixoft pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, with Lixoft becoming our wholly owned subsidiary. We believe the combination of Simulations Plus and Lixoft provides substantial benefit based on the complementary strengths of each of the companies.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, as described below, we will pay the former shareholders of Lixoft total consideration of up to $16.5 million, consisting of two-thirds cash and one-third newly issued, unregistered shares of our common stock. In addition, the Agreement calls for earnout payments up to an additional $5.5 million, two-thirds cash and one-third newly issued, unregistered shares of our common stock based on a revenue growth formula each year for the two years subsequent to April 1, 2020. The former shareholders can earn up to $2.0 million the first year and $3.5 million in year two. The earnout liability has been recorded at fair value. In June 2021, under the terms of the Lixoft acquisition agreement, the Company made an earnout payment of $2.0 million (two-thirds cash and one-third newly issued, unregistered shares of common stock) to the former shareholders of Lixoft.

 

For further details regarding the remaining holdback and earnout liabilities, please see Note 6, Contracts Payable, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
