17. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

MALKA— On November 15, 2021, MoneyLion completed its acquisition (the “MALKA Acquisition”) of MALKA. MALKA is a creator network and content platform that provides digital media and content production services to us and to its own clients in entertainment, sports, gaming, live streaming and other sectors. The MALKA Acquisition accelerates MoneyLion’s ability to engage with consumers across all digital and emerging channels, allowing MoneyLion to directly connect with communities natively inside and outside of its existing platform. MoneyLion intends for MALKA to operate as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MoneyLion Inc. with MALKA’s pre-acquisition management team leading day-to-day operations.

The total purchase price of the MALKA Acquisition was approximately $52,685. MoneyLion issued 4,181,441 restricted shares of MoneyLion Class A Common Stock and paid $10,000 in cash to the sellers in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of MALKA. MoneyLion also paid down $2,196 of MALKA debt facilities. The sellers may earn up to an additional $35 million payable in restricted shares of MoneyLion Class A Common Stock if MALKA’s revenue and EBITDA exceeds certain targets in 2021 and 2022. The $35 million payable in restricted shares based on 2021 and 2022 operating performance was valued at $11,782 as of the acquisition.

As of December 31, 2021, the payable in restricted shares based on 2021 and 2022 operating performance was valued at $18,011 and was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The $6,229 change in fair value since the MALKA Acquisition was included on the consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of contingent consideration from mergers and acquisitions.
