Equity Investments

Non-marketable equity securities

In 2024, the Company entered into a series of investment agreements with a privately held company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase up to $25 million of preferred stock. In October 2024, the Company purchased $10 million of preferred stock in the privately held company. The Company no longer has an obligation to purchase additional preferred stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable preferred stock investment agreements.

In July 2025, the privately held company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to which a buyer agreed to acquire the privately held company and merge the foregoing with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the buyer, subject to satisfaction by the parties of certain closing conditions. Upon closing of the merger in August 2025, the Company received consideration in the amount of $10.3 million for its shares of preferred stock. The Company may receive additional consideration, subject to the release of additional amounts held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger. In connection with the agreement and plan of merger, the Company entered into an amendment of certain preferred stock investment agreements pursuant to which the Company had the option but not the obligation, to purchase additional preferred stock prior to the closing of the agreement and plan of merger. With the closing of the merger, the Company no longer has this option.

The investment did not provide the Company the ability to control or have significant influence over the operations of the privately held company. We have accounted for the investment using the measurement alternative because the securities are not publicly traded and do not have a readily determinable fair value. Under the measurement alternative, the equity investment is initially recorded at its cost, but the carrying value may be adjusted through earnings upon an impairment or when there is an observable price change involving the same or a similar investment with the same issuer. Upon closing of the merger and the sale of our investment, the Company recognized financing income of $0.3 million.
