Google on Tuesday announced the finalization of its acquisition of video-sharing startup YouTube for $1.65 billion. For the deal, revealed last month to mountains of press, Google said it issued 3.2
million shares to pay for YouTube. It also paid restricted stock units, options and a warrant that can be converted into 442,210 shares of Google's common stock, according to a statement released by
the search giant. The $1.65 billion stock deal included around $15 million in funding which Google provided to YouTube between signing the deal in early October and closing the deal this month.
Roughly $200 million is being held in escrow as security on certain unspecified indemnification obligations, the Google statement said.
