Overview and Basis of Presentation

Company and Background

Fuze, Inc. (the "Company" or "Fuze") is a provider of cloud-based, unified communications, and contact center services. The Company provides managed voice, video conferencing, instant messaging, application integration, contact center, and analytics to customers on a cloud-based software platform.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in the industry, including but not limited to, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology and customer base, ongoing development and enhancement of its products, dependence on third parties and key members of its management team, and the need to obtain additional capital to fund the development of its products and network. Adverse effects arising from any of these situations could have a significant impact on the Company's operations.

With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company continues to be able to deliver its services to customers remotely and has not, to date, experienced significant project cancellations with material negative impact to revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As new variants of COVID-19 emerge, the full extent to which the ongoing and continuing COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, future results of operations, and financial condition, including sales, expenses, reserves and allowances, and employee-related amounts, will depend on future developments that are uncertain. Such developments include the efficacy of new vaccines to treat these evolving variants of COVID-19, new government actions as a result of these changing conditions, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national, and international customers and markets.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for public business enterprises. Although the Company has successfully completed financings in the past, the Company may not be successful in raising additional capital to fund normal operations in future periods. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, it will likely be required to cease its operations, pursue a plan to sell its operating assets, or otherwise modify its business strategy, which could materially harm its future business prospects. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Certain information and note disclosures included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In management's opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the period presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2021, for any other interim period, or for any future year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions

reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, debt and other obligations, goodwill and intangible assets, the expensing and capitalization of software development costs, the valuations of common and preferred stock, preferred stock warrant liability and stock-based awards, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740). ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public entities, the standard is effective for annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021 with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. In general, lease arrangements exceeding a twelve-month term must be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation is recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement reflects lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The FASB also issued ASU 2018-10,Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases, and ASU 2018-11,Targeted Improvements to Topic 842 Leases, which allows the new lease standard to be applied as of the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings rather than retroactive restatement of all periods presented. For nonpublic entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"), which introduces a new methodology for accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance establishes a new "expected loss model" that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information. Any expected credit losses are to be reflected as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities. The FASB also issued ASU 2019-10,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which changed the effective date of the amendment for nonpublic companies to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2016-13 may have on its financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. The standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests conducted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three accounting models available for

(unaudited)

convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Nature of Products and Services

The Company's revenue includes fees billed in connection with subscriptions to the Company's software-as-a-service ("SaaS") applications. These fees include recurring fixed plan subscription fees, recurring circuit usage fees, recurring administrative cost recovery fees, variable usage-based fees for blocks of additional minutes, and other items systematically purchased in excess of plan limits. The Company's software is delivered to the client via a hosting arrangement whereby the customer does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software. The Company's revenue also includes professional services related to the implementation, installation, and configuration of the SaaS solution, sales of preconfigured office phones, cabling, and switches used in connection with the subscription, shipping and handling fees, and one-time upfront fees related to setup activities. The Company provides its subscriptions pursuant to contractual arrangements that range in duration from one month to three years. The Company's subscription fees are generally billed in advance.

Revenue related to the Company's SaaS subscription plans is recognized as services are rendered over the service period. Product revenues are billed at the time the order is received and recognized when the product has been shipped to the customer. Professional services revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided using an input measure based on expended level of effort incurred. Fees related to setup activities that do not represent promised services in the contract with the customer are accounted for as a part of the transaction price and allocated to the performance obligations in the contract. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as fulfillment costs, and not as separate performance obligations, and accrues the related costs when the related revenue is recognized.

Total revenue recognized at a point in time and over time was as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company's subscription terms are typically three years and customers are billed on a monthly basis. Contract revenue from the remaining performance obligations that had not yet been recognized as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $24,500. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $18,400 of the remaining performance obligation over the next 12 months and approximately $6,100 thereafter.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may not align with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment, regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized for the period are reported as a contract liability (deferred revenue) on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's deferred revenue consists primarily of unearned revenue on annual subscription plans and professional services fees, and prepayments from customers that get applied against final month billings. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months of the consolidated balance sheet date are classified as long-term deferred revenue. If revenue is recognized in advance of the right to invoice, a contract asset (unbilled receivable) is recorded.

Balances as of September 30, 2021 were as follows:

Balance as of
January 1, 2021

September 30, 2021

Accounts receivable

$ 13,936 $ 15,317

Deferred revenue, current portion

(6,329 ) (6,015 )

Deferred revenue, net of current portion

(11,403 ) (12,558 )

The net increase in deferred revenue was due to billings in advance of performance obligations being satisfied. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $7,345, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

Sales commissions paid to internal salespeople and other associated costs that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts are capitalized as deferred costs on the balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions and associated costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The Company has determined the period of benefit for sales commissions paid to internal salespeople and external sales agents for the acquisition of the initial contract to be 60 months by taking into consideration the initial estimated customer life and the technological life of the Company's products and services, as well as expectations about whether the renewal commission will be commensurate with the initial commission. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis commensurate with the pattern of revenue recognition.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had capitalized $10,643 in sales commissions. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company periodically reviews these deferred commissions to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the recovery or period of benefit of these deferred contract acquisition costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The Company's effective tax rate ("ETR") was (1.06%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The difference in the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance the Company maintains against its deferred tax assets as well as foreign income tax expense. The effective tax rate is computed based on the estimated income tax expense divided by the loss before income tax expense.

5.

Balance Sheet Components

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents included $1,206 held by the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Debt and Other Obligations

AB Private Credit Investors

In September 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement as amended with AB Private Credit Investors, LLC ("AB Credit Agreement"). The credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to $85,000 in initial term loans, up to $20,000 in delayed draw term loans, and $10,000 in revolving commitments. In September 2019, the Company borrowed $85,000 of initial term loans. The Company used $55,000 of these proceeds to repay amounts due under its outstanding debt agreements with other lenders. Upon extinguishment of the previously outstanding debt, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,959 within other income (expense) on its statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2019. In March 2020, the Company borrowed $6,000 in delayed draw term loans under the AB Credit Agreement. In April 2021, the Company borrowed an additional $14,000 in delayed draw term loans under the AB Credit Agreement. Interest-only payments are due quarterly for the delayed draw term loans with a lump sum principal payment due in September 2024. In April 2021, the Company amended the covenants of the AB Credit Agreement and extended the date of the first principal repayment on the initial term loan to September 2023, from September 2022. The Company will also be required to pay an exit fee equal to 16.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans and commitments as of the effective date of the amendment upon the earliest of the refinancing of the credit agreement, the initial term loan maturity date, or the revolving commitment termination date. Interest-only payments are due quarterly for the initial term loans through September 2023 at which time quarterly principal payments are due from September 2023 through September 2024. The Company must pay a fee of 0.5% of the unused portions of both the delayed draw term loans and revolving commitments annually in addition to a one-time fee of 1.5% on borrowings under the delayed draw term loans. Borrowings under the initial term loans and delayed draw term loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of LIBOR or 1.75% plus the applicable margin percentage of 5.625%. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rate was 7.375% equal to 1.75% plus the margin percentage of 5.625%. Additionally, the principal bears 2.30% paid-in-kind interest, which is compounded and added to the principal balance of the loans on each interest payment date. Borrowings under the revolving commitments bear interest at a rate of 10.00%. The effective annual interest rate of the outstanding debt under the AB Credit Agreement is approximately 11.27%.

The Company accounted for the amendment of the AB Credit Agreement in April 2021 as a debt extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the amended terms of the credit agreement were greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original terms of the credit agreement, primarily as a result of the addition of the exit fee, and therefore the terms of the new debt and original instrument were deemed to be substantially different. The Company recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $16,065 in connection with this amendment during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which represents the difference between the fair value of the modified debt and the carrying amount of the original debt at the amendment date, which included the principal amount of $91,000 less unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $2,284, as well as the present value of an exit fee payable by the Company to the lenders upon maturity of the initial term loan that was added to the credit agreement as part of the amendment.

Borrowings under the AB Credit Agreement are to mature on September 20, 2024 and are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's personal property, including intellectual property. The AB Credit Agreement is subject to certain administrative and financial covenants including monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statement reporting and maintaining certain liquidity measures, leverage ratios, and quarterly EBITDA. There are negative covenants restricting the Company's activities, including limitations on mergers or acquisitions, incurring indebtedness or liens, paying dividends, and certain other business transactions, and there are customary provisions regarding the occurrence of material adverse events and related rights available to AB if such an event were to occur. The obligations under the AB Credit Agreement are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of specified events of default, including failing to make payments due or failing to meet the covenants related to the AB Credit Agreement, and upon the occurrence of material adverse events which remain uncured. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was not in compliance with certain administrative and financial covenants. As a result, the lender has the option to declare the borrowings under the AB Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. Therefore, the Company classified the balances associated with the AB Credit Agreement within current liabilities at September 30, 2021.

In connection with the original AB Credit Agreement, the lenders received warrants to purchase 1,425,003 shares of the Company's Series G-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share and a 10-year term. The fair value of the warrants as of the issuance date of $2,176 was recorded as a preferred stock warrant liability and debt discount. The debt discount was being amortized to interest expense using the effective-interest method from the date of the issuance through the maturity date. In April 2021, the Company replaced the Series G-3 preferred stock warrants with warrants to purchase 4,732,189 shares of the Company's Series A Prime redeemable convertible preferred stock with an exercise price of $0.192336 per share and a 10-year term. The fair value of the warrants as of the issuance date of $1,507 was recorded as a preferred stock warrant liability and loss on extinguishment of debt.

Future minimum principal payment obligations under the AB Credit Agreement, including the contractual exit fee, as of September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Paycheck Protection Program

In June 2020, the Company issued a Promissory Note to Silicon Valley Bank, pursuant to which it received $6,338 provided under the Paycheck Protection Program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "Paycheck Protection Program"). The loan was unsecured, was scheduled to mature in June 2022, had a fixed interest rate of 1.0% per annum, and was subject to the standard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered under the Paycheck Protection Program. The loan was eligible to be forgiven to the extent proceeds of the loan were used for eligible expenditures, such as payroll and other expenses described in the CARES Act. The Company applied for loan forgiveness and was notified that the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") had forgiven the loan in June 2021. The loan forgiveness is reflected as a gain on the extinguishment of debt within other income in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Preferred Stock

In January 2021, the Company raised approximately $13,595 in gross cash proceeds through the issuance of 70,682,073 shares of a new series of redeemable convertible preferred stock to existing investors ("Series A Prime") at an issuance price of $0.192336 per share. As part of this January 2021 financing, all existing shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G-1, Series G-2, and Series G-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock (collectively, the "Existing Preferred Stock") were converted to common stock. The Company accounted for the conversion of all shares of Existing Preferred Stock to common stock as an extinguishment of the Existing Preferred Stock because the number of shares of common stock received by the holders of the Existing Preferred Stock differed from the number of shares of common stock that would have been received under the original conversion terms.

Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain of $386,575 within stockholders' deficit equal to the difference between the fair value of the new shares of common stock issued and the carrying amount of the shares of Existing Preferred Stock upon extinguishment. The Company recorded the gain on extinguishment of the Existing Preferred Stock to accumulated deficit.

The holders of Series A Prime redeemable convertible preferred stock have liquidation rights in the event of a deemed liquidation that, in certain situations, is not solely within the control of the Company. Therefore, the preferred stock is classified outside of stockholders' deficit and the carrying values of the outstanding preferred stock are accreted to their respective redemption values from the date of issuance through the earliest date of redemption. The following provides a summary of the issuances of Series A Prime during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

In February 2021, April 2021, and August 2021, the Company issued a total of 77,052,681 additional shares of Series A Prime at an issuance price of $0.192336 per share for an additional $14,820 in gross cash proceeds. The Series A Prime was recorded net of $417 of issuance costs, $159 of which were incurred in 2020 before the initial issuance in January 2021 and $258 of which were incurred in 2021 in connection with the subsequent issuances in February 2021, April 2021, and August 2021.

Prior to the conversion of all shares of Existing Preferred Stock to common stock in January 2021, the Company recorded a charge of $598 to the carrying values of the Existing Preferred Stock with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital representing the accretion to redemption value during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a charge of $2,892 to the carrying value of the Series A Prime with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital representing the accretion to redemption value during the period. As of September 30, 2021, the total carrying value of the preferred stock was $30,890.

The holders of the Series A Prime have the following rights and preferences:

Dividend Rights

The holders of Series A Prime are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends when, as, and if declared by the board of directors of the Company at an annual rate of 6.0% of the Series A Prime Original Issue Price of $0.192336 per share. Additionally, the holders of Series A Prime participate in dividends on an as-converted basis when paid on common stock and the Company shall not declare, pay, or set aside any dividends on shares of common stock unless the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Prime have received, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Prime. No dividends have been declared by the board of directors of the Company since the Company's inception.

Conversion

Each share of Series A Prime is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at any time after the date of issuance at the applicable conversion ratio then in effect at the time of conversion. Each share of Series A Prime will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the greater of (a) the applicable conversion ratio then in effect or (b) the conversion ratio that results in the shares of common stock received upon such conversion being worth three times the Series A Prime Original Issue Price upon (i) a sale of common stock to the public in a firm commitment public offering, (ii) a sale of common stock to the public pursuant to a direct listing, (iii) the consummation of a business combination with a SPAC, or (iv) the written consent of a majority of the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Prime.

The conversion ratio of the Series A Prime is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price of $0.192336 per share by the Conversion Price of $0.192336, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other similar recapitalization and other adjustments as set forth in the Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated.

Liquidation

Upon a liquidation event, as defined in the Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, any proceeds will be distributed to the holders of the Company's shares in the following preferential order and amounts:

(1) Holders of Series A Prime will receive an amount equal to the greater of (a) three times the Series A Prime Original Issue Price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (b) the amount per share as would have been payable had each such share of Series A Prime been converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event. If, upon the liquidation event, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make payment of such amount in full to all holders of Series A Prime, then such assets shall be distributed to the holders of Series A Prime on a pari passu basis in proportion to the respective amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled.

(2) After the payment of the full liquidation preferences of the Series A Prime, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed to the holders of common stock, pro rated based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

Redemption

Each share of Series A Prime is redeemable at the option of the holder at any time after December 31, 2025 upon the written consent of a majority of the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Prime at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) the respective liquidation amount or (b) the fair market value of such share of Series A Prime. The Series A Prime shall be redeemed on a pari passu basis in three equal annual installments commencing 90 days after receipt by the Company, at any time after March 20, 2025, of a written notice from a majority of the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Prime.

Voting Rights

The holder of each share of Series A Prime shall have the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which the Series A Prime could then be converted.

Stock-based Compensation

Equity Compensation Plan

The Company has a 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2006 Plan"), a 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2012 Plan"), and a 2017 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2017 Plan"), which are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The 2017 Plan became effective in July 2017, and upon effectiveness, the remaining shares available under the 2006 Plan and 2012 Plan became available for issuance under the 2017 Plan, and no future issuance will be made under the 2006 Plan or 2012 Plan. Additionally, if any outstanding awards issued under the 2006 or 2012 Plans expire, terminate, are surrendered, or are cancelled without having been fully exercised or settled, such shares will be available for future awards under the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards, and other equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants. As part of the January 2021 financing in which all shares of Existing Preferred Stock were converted to common stock, the Company increased the number of shares of common stock it may grant securities under the 2017 Plan to up to 210,731,370 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2021, there were 39,255,147 shares available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan. The stock options granted to employees generally vest over a four-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.15 per share. The unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2021 was $3,141 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

In July 2021, the Company reduced the exercise price of all outstanding stock options that were out of the money. The resulting compensation charge related to the modification is equal to the positive difference between the fair value of the modified award and the fair value of the original award immediately before it was deemed modified for accounting purposes, both determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The effective date of the repricing is December 1, 2021 and employees who hold awards subject to the repricing, whether vested or unvested on the modification date, must remain employed with the Company until December 1, 2021 in order to exercise the repriced options at the reduced exercise price. For the portion of awards that were vested as of the modification date, share-based compensation expense related to the incremental fair value of the modified award is being recognized over the additional requisite service period of July 31, 2021 to December 1, 2021. For the portion of awards that were unvested as of the modification date, share-based compensation expense related to the incremental fair value of the award as well as any unrecognized compensation expense related to the original award is being recognized over the remaining service period. The incremental expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $234.

Commitments and Contingencies

Inventory Purchase Commitments

During 2019, management determined that future demand for a certain third-party product held for resale, which is subject to future non-cancellable purchase commitments, had materially declined, primarily due to changes in the rapidly changing competitive environment in what the Company operates, and low enterprise customer demand for this hardware solution. In addition to considering the future sales projections, management also considered the low demand for such third-party product during 2019, and changes to market conditions which occurred during 2019. Based on consideration of all relevant factors, the Company recorded a one-timepre-tax charge of approximately $16,950 in cost of revenue related to this third-party product for the year ended December 31, 2019 for the future non-cancellable inventory purchase commitments that were determined to have no value. The remaining future minimum payments under this arrangement have been accrued and are included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities ($3,235) and Other long-term liabilities ($11,280) in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. As described in Note 14: Subsequent Events, On October 8, 2021, the Company amended the accrual described above.

Future annual minimum payments under this purchase commitment as of September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Litigation

General Litigation Matters

The Company, from time to time, may be involved in proceedings relating to contractual disputes, employment matters, regulatory tax compliance matters, and other like matters relating to claims that arise in the normal course of business. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from any such matter should be accrued by evaluating the specific nature of the matter and its potential liability, based upon the facts and circumstances of the specific action or regulatory matter, using reasonably available information. The Company develops its views on estimated potential loss accruals in consultation with counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential outcomes.

13.

Related Party Transactions

In November 2015, the Company loaned $1,472 to two employees of the Company to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to promissory notes and restricted stock agreements (Note 8). The promissory notes provide that the unpaid principal amount of the loans bear interest at 2.57% annually, and interest is payable annually or is converted to principal and payable at the maturity date. The maturity date of the promissory notes occurs on the earliest of (i) seven years from the issuance date of the notes, (ii) 30 days following the date of termination of employment of the borrower, and (iii) immediately prior to an initial filing of a registration statement by the Company. The promissory notes are non-recourse and secured by a pledge of the shares of common stock purchased with the promissory notes. The promissory note for one employee was amended in 2018 to change the maturity date to the earlier of (i) 2023 or (ii) immediately prior to an initial filing of a registration statement by the Company, and was subsequently forgiven upon the employee's separation from the Company in 2019. The principal amount of the remaining promissory note as of September 30, 2021 was $1,171.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company had sales to Bessemer Venture Partners ("Bessemer"), a shareholder. Total revenue from Bessemer for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $53.

14.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 10, 2022, the date on which these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Where applicable, such events are appropriately reflected or disclosed in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 8, 2021, the Company amended its arrangement with a third-party provider of inventory held for resale subject to non-cancellable inventory purchase commitments which resulted in a loss accrual in 2019, as disclosed in Note 11. Pursuant to this October 2021 amendment, the total obligations due to this vendor over the initial contractual life decreased to $7,650, in exchange for (i) an acceleration of remaining payments due under the contract, (ii) a change in the mix of the products available from the third-party vendor to fulfill the Company's purchase commitment and (iii) a reduction in the support period and remaining term for these third-party products. The Company expects to record a gain of $ 6,711 in October 2021 based on the reduction in the total contractual payments due under this arrangement, as well as other elements of this amendment.

On November 30, 2021, the Company entered into a Definitive Merger Agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in the Company, on a cash-free, debt-free basis. This transaction is expected to close in early 2022, following shareholder and standard regulatory approvals, and fulfilment of customary closing conditions.
