At that time a Facebook share was valued at $30.89. Facebook stock price saw a continuous decline ever since. Facebook’s Instagram deal was delayed as it triggered an automatic investigation by the FTC. Now Facebook ended up paying $521 million in cash and stock and an additional $194 million just in stock. The later amount represents the value of the shares that were offered for Instagram employees.
The report with Facebook’s quarterly investments was filled yesterday. According to the report that is listed on U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s main website the fixed cash part of the deal was kept.
