Vivint Solar, Inc.
On October 8, 2020, the Company acquired Vivint Solar, a leading full-service residential solar provider in the United States, at an estimated purchase price of $5.0 billion, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 6, 2020, by and among the Company, Vivint Solar and Viking Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Vivint Solar, with Vivint Solar continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Vivint Solar became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The calculation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands, except for share, per share and ratio amounts):

Vivint Solar outstanding common stock at October 8, 2020 126,313,816 
Exchange ratio 0.55 
Number of Sunrun shares issued 69,472,599 
Per share price of Sunrun common stock at October 8, 2020 $ 70.54 
Fair value of Sunrun common stock issued 4,900,597 
Fair value of replacement Sunrun stock options and restricted stock units 136,919 
Purchase price $ 5,037,516 
Transaction costs of $25.5 million were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
The results of Vivint Solar have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the revenue and net loss from Vivint Solar recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations were $81.3 million and $167.7 million, respectively.
Fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives and the expected future cash flows and related discount rates, can materially impact the Company's results of operations. Specifically, the Company used discounted cash flow models to value the solar energy systems and the noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. Inputs used for the models were Level 3 inputs and included the amount of cash flows, the expected period of the cash flows and the discount rates. The fair value of the assumed debt instruments was based on rates offered for debt with similar maturities and terms on October 8, 2020 and its fair value fell under the Level 2 hierarchy.
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized during 2021 and resulted in no additional adjustments. The following table sets forth the purchase accounting for Vivint Solar’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill (in thousands):
