Facebook announced the acquisition of WhatsApp in February, but lacked the approval of the regulatory bodies to carry it out.
Facebook Inc closed on Monday the acquisition of mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $ 22,000 million, $ 3,000 more than what was announced in February, due to the increased value of the shares of the social network in recent months.
The purchase was announced eight months ago, but lacked the approval of the regulatory bodies to be carried out.
WhatsApp founder, Jan Koum, will receive about $ 2,000 million shares, which will be awarded over a period of four years.
It will be CEO of WhatsApp and it will become a director of Facebook.
For the latter position will have an annual salary of one dollar, similar to the Executive Chairman of the social network, Mark Zuckerberg.
