ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On November 13, 2006, we completed our previously announced acquisition of YouTube, Inc. (“YouTube”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 3, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”) that we entered into with YouTube, Snowmass Holdings, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, and certain stockholders of YouTube.
In connection with the acquisition, we issued an aggregate of 3,217,560 shares, and restricted stock units, options and a warrant exercisable for or convertible into an aggregate of 442,210 shares, of our Class A common stock. The number of shares of Class A common stock issued and issuable by Google was calculated by dividing $1.65 billion less certain amounts (approximately $15 million) funded to YouTube by Google between signing and closing by the average closing price for the 30 trading days ending on November 9, 2006. Twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the equity issued and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be subject to escrow for one year to secure indemnification claims. A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as exhibit 2.01 to this Form 8-K.
Michael Moritz, a member of our board of directors, is a general partner of Sequoia Capital, whose affiliates were stockholders of YouTube. The shares of YouTube stock held by these affiliates were treated in the acquisition in the same manner as shares of stock held by the other stockholders of YouTube.
ITEM 3.02. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
The issuance of the shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Regulation D thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
Item 2.01 of this Form 8-K contains a more detailed description of the issuance of shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
