Contingent Consideration The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Group to pay the former owners of Company Webcast B.V. 30% of the purchase consideration, ultimately on 31 March 2020. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of €1.8 million was estimated based on a multiple of earnings and the average of actual 2016 and forecasted 2019 EBITDA. The liability is presented within other long-term financial liabilities in the balance sheet and subsequent measurement will be through profit or loss (see Note 30).
The goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies and other benefits from combining the assets and activities of Company Webcast B.V. with those of the Group. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
