(2)The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The payments were calculated based on the path for the simulated metrics and the contractual terms of the contingent consideration payments and were discounted to present value at a rate reflecting a risk associated with the payoffs. The fair value was estimated to be the average present value of the contingent consideration payments over all iterations of the simulation.The contingent consideration represents the fair value of the contractual earn-outs and the share of net operating loss carryforwards owed to the seller in the future.
The fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities exceeded the consideration paid, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. The Company reviewed its acquisition accounting methods, confirmed all assets and liabilities were properly identified, and ensured measurements reflected all consideration as of the closing date. The gain was primarily due to recognizing a deferred tax asset recorded in accordance with ASC 740 related to Sila's historical net operating losses. The bargain purchase gain is recorded in other income, net, in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The Company incurred $0.2 million in acquisition legal expenses for the acquisition, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Other Acquisitions
Boom Commerce
On August 18, 2025, Priority Boom, LLC, a subsidiary of Priority, completed its acquisition of certain residual portfolio rights for a purchase price of $73.5 million in cash, $13.5 million in Common shares of Priority and earn-out payments not to exceed $17.0 million based on meeting certain thresholds over athree-year period from the date of acquisition. The transaction did not meet the definition of a business; therefore, it was accounted for as an asset purchase under which the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the acquired assets based on relative fair values. As an asset purchase, additional purchase price (in the form of earn-outs) is accounted for when payment to the seller becomes payable and is added to the carrying value of the asset.
