Research, Development and Engineering Expense
NM—Not meaningful
Research, development and engineering (RD&E) expense was 7.8 percent of revenue in 2019 and 6.8 percent of revenue in 2018.
RD&E expense increased 11.3 percent in 2019 versus 2018 primarily driven by: • Higher spending (11 points) including investment in the z15 and Red Hat spending in the second half of 2019 (8 points); and • Higher acquisition-related charges associated with the Red Hat transaction (1 point); partially offset by • The effects of currency (1 point).
Operating (non-GAAP) expense increased 10.4 percent year to year primarily driven by the same factors excluding the acquisition-related charges associated with the Red Hat transaction.

Proofpoint, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (dollars and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
Per the terms of the share purchase agreement, unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units held by Meta Networks employees were canceled and exchanged for the Company’s unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units, respectively. The fair value of $184 of these unvested awards was attributed to pre-combination services and was included in consideration transferred. The fair value of $12,918 was allocated to post-combination services. The unvested awards are subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company, and $12,918 will be recognized ratably as stock-based compensation expense over the required remaining service period.
Also, as part of the share purchase agreement, the unvested restricted shares of certain employees of Meta Networks were exchanged into the right to receive $7,827 of deferred cash consideration and 72 shares of the Company’s common stock that were deferred with the fair value of $8,599. The deferred cash consideration was presented as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. The deferred cash consideration of $7,596 and the deferred stock $8,338 (see Note 11 “Equity Award Plans”) were allocated to post-combination expense and were not included in the purchase price. The deferred cash consideration and deferred shares are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the lapse of the restrictions, and their fair value is expensed as compensation and stock-based compensation expense over the three-year vesting period.
The Cost to Recreate Method was used to value the acquired developed technology asset. Management applied judgment in estimating the fair value of this intangible asset, which involved the use of significant assumptions such as the cost and time to build the acquired technology, developer’s profit and rate of return.
