The face value of the Pagantis Convertible Note represents the Pagantis Deferred Consideration of €40.3 million and will be settled in cash. The remaining value of the Pagantis Convertible Note relates to the Pagantis Contingent Consideration, which is dependent on the future Equity Value of Pagantis at the settlement date. Afterpay has commenced discussions with the applicable counterparty in relation to the early settlement of the Pagantis Convertible Note, but no agreement has yet been reached as to the consideration to be paid based upon the underlying agreement. Now that Afterpay is no longer listed on the ASX, the Pagantis Convertible Note can only be settled in cash.
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The Clearpay Call Option and Pagantis Contingent Consideration are recorded at fair value and the valuations are re-assessed at each reporting period. Because the valuations are determined using cash flow and other inputs that are not based on observable market data, they are considered to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as per IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.
Pagantis Contingent Consideration
The valuation of the Pagantis Contingent Consideration uses the valuation principles outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement and cash flow projections based on operating budgets which reflect management’s view of the expected long-term growth profile of the businesses.
The determination of cash flows over the life of a business requires management judgment in assessing the future number of merchant acquisitions, customer usage, potential price changes as well as any changes to the costs of the product and of other operating costs incurred by the business.
The valuation is then derived by discounting the cash flow projections to present value using discount rates that reflect current market conditions, external analyst views, industry benchmarks, and, where available, the underlying businesses cost of debt and/or equity.
Clearpay Call Option
The valuation of the Clearpay Call Option at 31 December 2021 was based on both an observable input (the APT share price) and an unobservable input (the number of shares issued, which was subject to Thinksmart shareholder approval). At 31 December 2021, the probability of the shareholders not approving the proposed 1,650,000 shares was considered remote.
Fair value measurement
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and |
| • | | Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable. |
The following table summarises the levels of the fair value hierarchy for financial liabilities held at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
