The acquisition will be paid for by a combination of a cash and an equity consideration. This consideration excludes a capped earn-out for excess revenue growth above a specific threshold. The cash consideration amounts to € 6.9 million. The equity consideration will consist of 129,787 ordinary shares in the share capital of CM.com N.V. The shares will be purchased by CM.com N.V. in the open market in the following weeks.
Over the past three years the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of Building Blocks increased on average by 97% per year and currently adds up to approximately € 4.0 million. As a result, the acquisition will support CM.com’s strategy to increase its ARR and core gross margin.

The company’s suite of Consumer AI solutions focuses on consumer guidance, consumer engagement and consumer care. Its customer portfolio covers select consumer-verticals and includes renowned brands such as Samsung, Basic-Fit, Corendon and Sligro, which demonstrates the versatility of its offering.
CM.com continuously aims to raise the bar and set new standards in conversational commerce.
