Under this method of accounting, South Mountain will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Billtrust issuing stock for the net assets of South Mountain, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of South Mountain will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. As a result of the Agreement, Billtrust stockholders received aggregate consideration with a value equal to $1,189,502,229, which consists of (i) $90,061,329 in cash at Closing of the Business Combination, and (ii) $1,099,440,900 in South Mountain Class A Common Stock and South Mountain Class C Common Stock at Closing of the Business Combination, or 109,944,090 shares based on an assumed share price of $10 per share.
