Effective as of January 3, 2023, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") with Bird Canada, Inc. (“Bird Canada”) and certain other parties thereto, which, among other things, resulted in the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bird Canada in exchange for the issuance by Bird Global of an aggregate principal amount of approximately $27.0 million of its 12.0% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Share Consideration Notes”), 18,204,365 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, and a nominal amount of cash consideration. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for details of the Bird Canada transaction. The purpose of the acquisition was to add additional profitable operations to Bird’s global platform, while consolidating our North American operations.
In addition, on March 10, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) took control of Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and created the National Bank of Santa Clara to hold the deposits of SVB after SVB was unable to continue its operations. On March 12, 2023, the FDIC, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a joint press release stating that all depositors would have access to all of their money beginning on March 13, 2023. As of March 16, 2023, we have access to our cash on deposit with SVB.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Annual Report and determined that, other than the events discussed above, there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustment to, or disclosure in, our consolidated financial statements.
