Note 7. Business Combination

On September 8, 2022, GIGA acquired 100% of the capital stock of GWW from BitNile in exchange for 2.92 million shares of GIGA’s common stock and 514.8 shares of GIGA’s Series F that are convertible into an aggregate of 3.96 million shares of GIGA’s common stock. GIGA also assumed GWW’s outstanding equity awards representing the right to receive up to 749,626 shares of GIGA’s common stock, on an as-converted basis. The transaction described above resulted in a change of control of GIGA. Assuming BitNile was to convert all of the Series F, it would

own approximately 71.2% of GIGA’ outstanding shares. The Series F Certificate of Determination contains an exchange cap which requires GIGA’s shareholders to approve the issuance of more than 19.99% of GIGA’s outstanding common stock that would apply as of the time of any future conversion (the “Exchange Cap”). On September 8, 2022 the GIGA’s shareholders approved issuances of its common stock upon conversion of the Series F in excess of the Exchange Cap.

On September 8, 2022, BitNile loaned GIGA $4.25 million by purchasing a convertible note that carries an interest rate of 10% per annum and matures on February 14, 2023.

In respect of the above transactions, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, together with acquired processes and employees, represent a business as defined in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The transactions were accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting with GIGA treated as the legal acquirer and GWW treated as the accounting acquirer. In identifying GWW as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes, GIGA and GWW took into account a number of factors, including the relative voting rights, executive management and the corporate governance structure of the Company. GWW is considered the accounting acquirer since the Company controls the board of directors of GIGA following the transactions and received a 71.2% beneficial ownership interest in GIGA. However, no single factor was the sole determinant in the overall conclusion that GWW is the acquirer for accounting purposes; rather all relevant factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.

The fair value of the purchase consideration is $8.2 million, consisting of $4.0 million for GIGA’s common stock and prefunded warrants, $0.35 million fair value of vested stock incentives and $3.8 million for cash consideration paid to existing preferred stockholders.

The Company estimated the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using valuation techniques, such as the income, cost and market approaches. The fair values are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain. The income method to measure the fair value of intangible assets, is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflected a consideration of other marketplace participants and included the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, economic barriers to entry and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

The total purchase price to acquire GIGA has been allocated to the assets acquired and assumed liabilities based upon preliminary estimated fair values, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of the date of acquisition are based on preliminary estimates assisted, in part, by a third-party valuation expert. The estimates are subject to change upon the finalization of appraisals and other valuation analyses, which are expected to be completed no later than one year from the date of acquisition. Although the completion of the valuation activities may result in asset and liability fair values that are different from the preliminary estimates included herein, it is not expected that those differences would alter the understanding of the impact of this transaction on the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (In thousands):
