Effective as of January 3, 2023, the Company entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with 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 Share Consideration Notes and 18,204,365 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.
Bird Canada is a micromobility company based in Toronto, Canada with operations throughout Canada. The purpose of the acquisition was to add additional profitable operations to Bird’s global platform, while consolidating our North American operations.

The results of Bird Canada’s operations, including revenues and expenses, are included in the statements of operations for the Company from the date of the transaction. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company acquired Bird Canada for $30.7 million. Assets acquired included 1.0 million of cash, $29.4 million of goodwill and $0.7 million of intangible assets.
Goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce and the expected synergies from the acquisition. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):
