    Item 1.01

    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

    On the Closing Date, Merger Sub, as the initial borrower, and the Company, upon consummation of the Merger, as the borrower, entered into (i) that certain First Lien Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the subsidiary borrowers from time to time party thereto (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), which provides for a first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,640,000,000 and a first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000,000 and (ii) that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the subsidiary borrowers from time to time party thereto (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), which provides for a second lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000. The First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement include representations and warranties, covenants, events of default and other provisions that are customary for facilities of their respective types.

    Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Company repaid all loans and terminated all credit commitments outstanding under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2020 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent.

     

    Item 2.01

    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

    The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

    At 9:00 a.m., Eastern time on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.00005 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Common Stock that is (A) held by the Company as treasury stock, (B) owned by Parent or Merger Sub, (C) owned by any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or (D) owned by stockholders of the Company who have not voted in favor of the Merger and have properly and validly exercised their statutory appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware), was converted into the right to receive $16.00 in cash, without interest thereon, subject to any required withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”).


    In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:

     

      •  

    each then-outstanding, vested and unexercised option to purchase Common Stock (each a “Company Option”) was cancelled, with the holder of such Company Option becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash, less applicable tax withholdings, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company Option, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time;

     

      •  

    each award of restricted stock units granted under any of the Company’s equity plans (“Company Restricted Stock Unit Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that vests upon the occurrence of the Effective Time by its terms and without any action by the Company shall be cancelled, with the holder of such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash, less applicable tax withholdings, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Merger Consideration by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

     

      •  

    each Company Restricted Stock Unit Award and each performance-based restricted stock unit (“Company Performance Stock Unit Award”), in each case, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that does not vest upon the occurrence of the Effective Time by its terms and without any action by the Company shall, in each case, be cancelled and be converted into the contractual right to receive a payment in an amount in cash (the “Cash Based Award”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Merger Consideration by (ii) the number of shares of Company common stock covered by such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award or Company Performance Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (in the case of any Company Performance Stock Unit Award, based on 100% of the shares of Common Stock underlying such award), which Cash Based Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to such Cash Based Award (except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement), including the time-based vesting conditions and any accelerated vesting provisions applicable to such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award or Company Performance Stock Unit Award.

    The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement, and the other transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 1, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference.

    As a result of the Merger, each share of the Company’s Common Stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K) was converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.
