(3)   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On December 22, 2021, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc., entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kestrel and each of the shareholders of Kestrel (collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”). Under the Agreement, the Selling Shareholders agreed to sell all of the outstanding common stock of Kestrel (the “Kestrel Shares”) to the Company. The consideration for the Kestrel Shares consisted of $16.1 million cash and 1,467,785 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Zynex Shares”). All of the Zynex Shares were subject to a lock-up agreement for a period of one year from the closing date under the Agreement (the “Closing Date”). The Agreement provides the Selling Shareholders with piggyback registration rights. 978,524 of the Zynex Shares were deposited in escrow (the “Escrow Shares”). The number of Escrow Shares were subject to adjustment on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (or in connection with any Liquidation Event (as defined in the Agreement) that occurs prior to such anniversary date) based on the number of shares equal to $10.0 million divided by a 30-day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock. The Escrow Shares were adjusted on the anniversary date, which resulted in the cancellation of 156,673 Escrow Shares. Half of the Escrow Shares were to be released on submission of a dossier on a laser-based photoplethysmographic device (the “Device”) to the FDA for permission to market and sell the Device in the United States. The other half of the Escrow Shares were to be released upon determination by the FDA that the Device can be marketed and sold in the United States.

On July 27, 2023, the Company, ZMS, Kestrel, and the Selling Shareholders, entered into an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”). The parties entered into the Amendment to modify certain terms of the Agreement related to the conditions to be satisfied for the release of the Escrow Shares to the Selling Shareholders. The Escrow Shares were released from escrow, and simultaneously, the selling stockholders entered into a lock-up agreement. The lock-up agreement includes two lock-up periods which release certain restrictions on the Selling Shareholders on December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively. These shares are included in the Company’s calculation of basic earnings per share.

The acquisition of Kestrel has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805 – “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination must be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
