Earn-Out Milestones

In connection with the Transaction, certain of indie’s stockholders are entitled to receive up to 10,000,000 earn-out shares of the Company’s Class A common stock if the earn-out milestones are met. The earn-out milestones represent two independent criteria, each of which entitles the eligible stockholders to 5,000,000 earn-out shares per milestone met. Each earn-out milestone is considered met if at any time following the Transaction and prior to December 31, 2027, the volume weighted average price of indie’s Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 or $15.00 for any twenty trading days within any thirty-trading day period, respectively. Further, the earn-out milestones are also considered to be met if indie undergoes a "Sale". A Sale is defined as the occurrence of any of the following for indie: (i) engage in a “going private” transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise cease to be subject to reporting obligations under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) Class A common stock ceases to be listed on a national securities exchange, other than for the failure to satisfy minimum listing requirements under applicable stock exchange rules; or (iii) change of ownership (including a merger or consolidation) or approval of a plan for complete liquidation or dissolution.

These earn-out shares had been categorized into two components: (i) those associated with stockholders with vested equity at the closing of the Transaction that will be earned upon achievement of the earn-out milestones (the “Vested Shares”) and (ii) those associated with stockholders with unvested equity at the closing of the Transaction that will be earned over the remaining service period with the Company on their unvested equity shares and upon achievement of the Earn-Out Milestones (the “Unvested Shares”). The Vested Shares were classified as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the Unvested Shares are equity-classified share-based compensation to be recognized over time. The earn-out liability was initially measured at fair value at the closing of the Transaction and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the earn-out liability was recorded as part of Other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The estimated fair value of the earn-out liability was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulations analysis that simulated the future path of the Company’s stock price over the earn-out period. The assumptions utilized in the calculation are based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones including projected stock price, volatility, and risk-free rate.

As of December 31, 2021, there was no liability remaining on the consolidated balance sheet.

Contingent Considerations

On January 25, 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Kinetic Technologies, LLC, the Company recorded contingent considerations as a current and a long-term liability at an initial fair value of $2,251 and $2,348, respectively. The contingent consideration is comprised of two tranches. The first tranche was payable upon the achievement of a revenue threshold of $12,000 for the 12-month period ended on January 25, 2025. The second tranche was payable upon achievement of certain production-based milestones for the 24-month period ending on January 25, 2026. Both tranches were payable in cash or in shares at indie’s discretion. In April 2025, the Company settled the first tranche through the issuance of $2,500 in cash. In December 2025, it was determined that the second tranche of the contingent consideration would not be met and the fair value was reduced to zero. There was no liability remaining on the consolidated balance sheet on December 31, 2025. The changes in fair value since the acquisition date were recorded in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.

On September 26, 2025, in connection with the acquisition of emotion3D, the Company recorded contingent considerations as a current and a long-term liability at an initial fair value of $3,092 and $4,195, respectively. The contingent consideration is comprised of three tranches. Total purchase consideration transferred at the emotion3D Closing Date also included contingent consideration that had a total preliminary fair value of $7,287 as of the acquisition date. The preliminary acquisition date fair value of the contingent considerations was determined based on the Company’s assessment of the probability of achieving the performance targets that ultimately obligate the Company to transfer additional consideration to the seller. The contingent consideration is comprised of up to three tranches and all are payable in cash or Class A common stock, at indie’s sole election. The First Earnout pays up to a maximum of $4,000, upon achievement of a total revenue target of EUR 3,650 (or $4,163) for the full year ended December 31, 2025, provided only a maximum total of EUR 2,100 can be counted toward the milestone between January 1, 2025 through the emotion3D Closing Date. The Second Earnout pays up to a maximum of $6,000, upon achievement of revenue target of $6,300 between January 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027. In the case where the First Earnout is not achieved in full and emotion3D achieves total revenue in excess of $8,400 within the same period as relevant for the Second Earnout, emotion3D is entitled to the Third Earnout that pays up to a maximum of $1,250, upon achievement of a revenue target equal to $8,400 plus the corresponding revenue shortfall from the First Earnout. The corresponding revenue shortfall from the First Earnout is calculated by actual revenue achieved during the First Earnout measurement period and a ceiling of $4,163. The fair value of any outstanding contingent consideration liabilities will be remeasured as of the end of each reporting period with any resulting remeasurement gains or losses recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As the potential payment of the Third Earnout is dependent upon the shortfall in the First Earnout and the over-achievement in the Second Earnout, the preliminary fair value of the Third Earnout has been considered as part of the First Earnout. The First Earnout is reflected in Contingent considerations and the Second Earnout is reflected in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026. The fair value of the first, second, and third tranche contingent consideration liabilities as of March 31, 2026 was $1,382, $4,286 and $893, respectively.
