As part of the consideration for the Track acquisition, Crowd Mobile agreed to an earn-out payment to the Track vendors based on the financial performance for the 2015 calendar year.

- €2.0 million (c$3.1 million AUD) in January 2016
- €2.5 million (c$3.9 million AUD) in June 2016
The January 2016 earn out payment will be funded from existing operating cash flows.
Commenting on the Track earn out payment, Crowd Mobile CEO Mr Domenic Carosa said:
“The earn-out payment agreed is at the top end of the capped earn-out which is reflective of Track profit performance. This is a very positive outcome for Crowd Mobile and provides strong profitability and cash flow momentum for 2016.”
