FORESCOUT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Company and Background
Forescout Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware and commenced operations in April 2000. The Company designs, develops, and markets device visibility, control, and orchestration software that helps organizations gain complete situational awareness of all devices in their interconnected environment and orchestrate actions to mitigate both their cyber and operational risk.
The Company offers its solution across two2 product groups: (i) products for visibility and control capabilities, and (ii) products for orchestration capabilities. The Company’s products for visibility and control capabilities consist of eyeSight, eyeSegment, eyeControl, and SilentDefense.SilentDefense; eyeSight, eyeSegment, and eyeControl provide for visibility and control capabilities across the extended enterprise, from campus to data center to hybrid cloud to operational technology (“OT”) devices, while SilentDefense provides for visibility and control capabilities deeper within the OT portion of the network. The Company’s products for orchestration capabilities are comprised of its portfolio of eyeExtend family of products.
The Company offers its solution across two2 product types: (i) software products and (ii) hardware products. The Company’s software products include eyeSight, eyeSegment, eyeControl, eyeExtend, SilentDefense, and SilentDefense Command Center (“Software Products”). The Company’s hardware products include hardware that is sold separately for use with the Company’s Software Products and appliances that are embedded with the Company’s software (“Hardware Products”).
The Company sells its Software Products, Hardware Products, support and maintenance contracts, and professional services to end-customers through distributors and resellers, who are supported by the Company’s sales and marketing organization, and to a lesser extent directly to end-customers.
Proposed Merger
On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Original Merger Agreement”) with Ferrari Group Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”), and Ferrari Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Advent International Corporation (“Advent”).
On July 15, 2020, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended and Restated Merger Agreement”) in order to amend and restate the Original Merger Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock for $29.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”). The closing of the Offer is subject to certain limited customary conditions, including the tender by Company shareholders of at least one share more than 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. If the Offer is successful, then following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement contemplates that the Merger will be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), which would not require a vote of the Company’s stockholders in order to consummate the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (except for certain shares specified in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement), whether or not tendered in accordance with the Offer, will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price.

On July 20, 2020, Merger Sub commenced the Offer. The Offer is scheduled to expire at the end of the day, one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on August 14, 2020, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated.
Concurrently with the execution of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, Forescout, Parent and Merger Sub entered into a settlement agreement to resolve pending litigation between them. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the parties have agreed to release their respective claims made in connection with the litigation.
COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets, which has decreased, and may further decrease, demand for a broad variety of goods and services, while also disrupting sales channels and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until the pandemic is contained. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) using accounting policies that are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Forescout Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s quarterly results. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20182019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP for the annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company presented revenue and cost of revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as (i) product and (ii) maintenance and professional services. Under the new presentation of revenue and cost of revenue included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, product has been retitled as license revenue, and maintenance and professional services is now presented as two separate line items on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as (i) subscription and (ii) professional services. The related prior period financial data were adjusted to reflect the new presentation of the Company’s revenue and cost of revenue. There is no impact on total revenue and total cost of revenue.

2019.
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.notes, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the recent COVID-19 and public and private policies and initiatives aimed at reducing its transmission. These estimates form the basis of judgments made about carrying values of assets and liabilities, which are not readily apparent from other sources. The areas where management has made estimates requiring judgment include, but are not limited to, the best estimate of standalone selling prices for license and related support, the period over which deferred sales commissions are amortized to expense, accruals, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes including related reserves, identified intangibles and goodwill, purchase price allocation of an acquired business, and incremental borrowing rate for operating leases. As the extent and duration of the impact from COVID-19 continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 
Restructuring cost
The Company records restructuring activities including costs for one-time termination benefits in accordance with ASC Topic 420 (“ASC 420”), Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. A liability is recognized when management has committed to a restructuring plan and has communicated those actions to employees. Restructuring cost for employee workforce reductions are recorded upon employee notification for employees whose required continuing service period is 60 days or less and ratably over the employee’s continuing service period for employees whose required continuing service period is greater than 60 days. Employee termination benefits covered by existing benefit arrangements are

recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 712, Non-retirement Post-employment Benefits. These costs are recognized as restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations when management has committed to a restructuring plan and the severance costs are probable and estimable. Refer to Note 5 for further details.

Credit losses
Effective January 1, 2019,2020, the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02,2016-13, Leases Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(“, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-02”), ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”),calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”), (collectively “Topic 842”),requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as discusseda reduction in detailthe amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in Note 5. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with Topic 842.earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted Topic 842ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2019 using2020 with the transition method to apply the new lease standards at thecumulative effect of adoption date and recognized a cumulative-effectrecorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.earnings. The adoption had a material impacteffect on the total assetsits consolidated financial statements and total liabilities reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets resulting in an increase in long-term assets and total liabilities of approximately $20.3 million as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard didrelated disclosures is not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.material.
Except for the impact of the adoption of Topic 842,326, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes that eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

License Revenue
License revenue consists of sales of Software Products and Hardware Products. Software Products are sold with either a perpetual license or a term license. License revenue includes the value allocated to license within Software Products subscription contracts. License revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control, which is generally upon delivery of access to software downloads or shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Subscription Revenue
Subscription revenue is derived from support and maintenance contracts, and the value allocated to support and maintenance within Software Products subscription contracts, and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) offering contracts. Support and maintenanceSaaS customers do not have the right to take possession of the cloud-based software. Subscription contracts have terms that are generally either one or three years, but can be up to five years. Software Products subscription contracts are available in terms of either one or three years. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract and any unearned subscription revenue is included in deferred revenue.
Professional Services Revenue
Professional services revenue is derived primarily from customer fees for optional installation of the Company’s products or training. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for professional services as the services are rendered.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
A contract asset is a right to consideration in exchange for products or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional and is not just subject to the passage of time. The Company’s payment terms typically range between 30 to 90 days. The Company has no0 material contract assets. A contract liability is an obligation to transfer products or services for which the Company has received consideration, or for which an amount of consideration is due from the customer. Contract liabilities include customer deposits under non-cancelable contracts included in accrued expenses, and current and non-current deferred revenue balances. The Company’s contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair value.
The accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the independence of the source and objective evidence of the inputs used. There are three fair value hierarchies based upon the level of inputs that are significant to fair value measurement:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and are supported by little or no market activity, and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.


There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the periods presented. The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s financial assets according to the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Impact of COVID-19 on our Results of Operations
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns.
The broader impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain because the extent and duration of the impact from COVID-19 continue to evolve. Our operations have been impacted by office closures globally and restrictions on employee travel and in-person meetings; however, we have generally been able to deliver our products and services remotely. To support the health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners and communities, a vast majority of our employees continue to work remotely as of June 30, 2020. Despite the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, we exited the second quarter of 2020 with a stronger growth in revenue and improved profitability as compared to the first quarter of 2020, driven by our continuous effort in closing strategic deals with both new and existing customers as well as continuous adjustments to our overall expense plan and workforce to further align with our strategy.We generate revenue from saleswill continue to evaluate the nature and extent of Software Products, Hardware Products, support and maintenance contracts, and professional services.the impact of COVID-19 on our business.

Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth of our business and our future success are dependent upon many factors, including our ability to continue to increase the efficiency by which our sales force engages our end-customers, to extend the reach of our sales force footprint to engage more end-customers, to retain and increase sales to existing end-customers, and to provide our customers with more licensing and delivery options from which to purchase our products. While each of these areas presents significant opportunities for us, they also pose significant risks and challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain the growth of our business and improve our results of operations.
Increasing the Efficiency by which Our Sales Force Engages Our End-Customers
We are focused on increasing the efficiency of our sales force. Over the last 12 months, we have increased hiring in sales enablement and marketing, enhanced sales training activities, and implemented company-wide standards for product positioning in order to instill a culture of success and discipline in our sales organization. Our sales strategy depends on attracting top talent from security organizations, expanding our sales coverage, increasing our pipeline of business, and enhancing productivity. We focus on productivity per quota-carrying sales representative across different levels within the sales organization, and the time it takes our sales representatives to reach productivity. We manage our pipeline on a quarterly basis by sales representative to ensure sufficient coverage of our bookings targets. Our ability to manage our sales productivity and pipeline are important factors to the success of our business.

Extending the Reach of Our Sales Force Footprint
We have made substantial investments in our sales force in recent periods in order to address the significant opportunity created primarily by the increase in the attack surface within organizations driven by the influx of the Internet of Things in the campus and data centers, the digital transformation from data centers to third party hosted cloud providers, and the emergence of the critical need to secure OT networks. We expect to continue to make substantial investments in our sales force to capitalize on the market opportunity for device visibility and control.
Continued Retention and Sales to Existing End-Customers
We believe the net-recurring revenue retention rate over the trailing 12 month period on our subscription revenue and on the annualized value of our subscription license revenue is an important metric to measure our ability to retain and increase sales to our existing end-customers. We calculate the net-recurring revenue retention rate using the following formula:
X = (A + B + C)/(B + D)
where:
X = net-recurring revenue retention rate
A = annualized value of term contracts renewed over the trailing 12 month period
B = trailing 12 month annualized value of term contracts not subject to renewal because the scheduled expiration date of the multi-year contract falls outside of the 12 month period under measurement
C = trailing 12 month annualized value of new term contracts from end-customers that have been end customers for more than one year
D = 12 months annualized value of term contracts scheduled to terminate or renew during the 12 month period under measurement
We believe this metric is an indication of the continuing value we provide to our end-customers because it shows the renewal rate of their support and maintenance contracts and Software Products subscription contracts. Our net-recurring revenue retention rate as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 were 121%110% and 117%122%, respectively. The 4001,200 basis point increasedecrease was primarily reflectsdriven by the increased adoptionlack of new Software Products subscription contractsterm contract from end-customers that have been end-customers for more than one year forin the twelve months endedtrailing 12 month period ending June 30, 2020 relative to the trailing 12 month period ending December 31, 2019. A net retention rate over 100% indicates that our products are expanding within our end-customer base, whereas a rate less than 100% indicates that our products are constricting within our end-customer base. Additionally, this calculation includes all changes to the annualized value of the recurring revenue from term contracts used in the calculation, which includes scheduled expiration periods, stub periods, changes in pricing, additional products purchased, lost end-customers, early renewals, and decreases in the number of devices licensed to be managed by our license under contract. This metric does not take into account perpetual license revenue or professional services revenue. The annualized value of our contracts is a legal and contractual determination made by assessing the contractual terms with our end-customers. The annualized value of our term contracts is not determined by reference to historical revenue, deferred revenue, or any other GAAP financial measure over any period.
Recurring Revenue Rate
We are focused on providing our customers with more licensing and delivery options from which to purchase our products. In the last 24 months, we introduced centralized licensing options as an alternative to our legacy options of licensing by individual units of physical and virtual appliances. We introduced Software Products subscription contracts in the first quarter of 2019 and began deriving revenue from these Software Products subscription contracts in the second quarter of 2019. In the future, we intend to offer our Software Products, in addition to our current on-premise offerings, in a form that also includes critical functionality being delivered from our cloud hosted facilities.

Included in our license revenue is the value allocated to license within our Software Products subscription contracts, which is recognized at the time of transfer of control, which is generally upon delivery of access to software downloads or shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met or upon commencement of a renewed term contract.
Included in our subscription revenue is the value allocated to support and maintenance within our Software Products subscription contracts and revenue derived from support and maintenance contracts. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
We introduced the recurring revenue ratebelieve this metric in the second quarter of 2019 since we believe it is an important metric in understanding the impact of customer buying preferences for the varying Software Products options upon our reported revenue. We calculate the recurring revenue rate as a subscription revenue plus the portion of license revenue that is derived from the value allocated to license within our Software

Products subscription contracts (“term license”), collectively, as a percent of total revenue, as measured over the trailing 12 month period. We calculate the recurring revenue rate using the following formula:
X = (A + B)/C
where:
X = recurring revenue rate
A = subscription revenue over the trailing 12 month period
B = value allocated toterm license revenue within our Software Products subscription contracts over the trailing 12 month period
C = total revenue
Our recurring revenue rate as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 were 44%57% and 40%49%, respectively. The 400800 basis point increase primarily reflects the increased adoption of new subscription contracts in the three month period endingsix months ended June 30, 2019.2020. The numerator does not take into account perpetual license revenue or professional services revenue. The numerator does include the value allocated to license within our Software Products subscription contracts for all contract durations. Those contract durations that are greater than 12 months will raise the recurring revenue rate for the first 12 months of the contract duration and will lower the recurring revenue rate for the balance of the contract duration after the first 12 months relative to the annualized value of such Software Products subscription contracts.
Key Financial Metrics
Non-GAAP Operating Loss As disclosed in Note 2. Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Free Cash Flow
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we monitor the non-GAAP financial metrics described below to evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectivenessDeferred Commissions of our salesNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, within the Disaggregation of Revenue, term license revenue was $19.2 million and marketing efforts$19.8 million for the three and measuresix months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and assess operational efficiencies.
We define non-GAAP operating loss as loss from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses,$11.2 million and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction costs such as accounting$11.5 million for the three and legal fees, and other employee retention expenses arising from the acquisition. We consider non-GAAP operating loss to be a useful metric for investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating performance because it excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, a non-cash charge that can vary from period to period for reasons that are unrelated to our core operating performance, and non-recurring and non-operating acquisition-related expenses. This metric also provides investors and other users of our financial information with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and periods, while eliminating the effects of items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to core operating performance.

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We consider free cash flow to be an important metric because it measures the amount of cash we use or generate and reflects changes in working capital.

It is important to note that other companies, including companies in our industry, may not use non-GAAP operating loss or free cash flow, may calculate these metrics differently, or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP metrics as comparative measures.
As a result, our non-GAAP operating loss and free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We compensate for these limitations by providing investors and other users of our financial information, reconciliations of non-GAAP operating loss to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, operating loss, and reconciliations of free cash flow to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, cash flow provided by operating activities. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view non-GAAP operating loss and free cash flow in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measure.six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

License revenue decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in Software Products revenue, and a $0.7 million decrease in Hardware Products revenue. The decrease in Software Products revenue included a $0.3 million decrease in the sales of eyeSight, eyeControl, and SilentDefense, and a $0.2 million decrease in the sale of eyeExtend. License revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $16.6 million decrease in Software Products revenue, and a $7.5 million decrease in Hardware Products revenue. The decrease in Software Products revenue included a $11.0 million decrease in the sales of eyeSight, eyeControl, and SilentDefense, and a $5.6 million decrease in the sale of eyeExtend. The decrease in license revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily resulted from the economic slowdown caused by the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as customer uncertainty related to the Merger.
Subscription revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $2.5 million increase attributed to support and maintenance contracts that were renewals, a $0.1 million increase attributed to support and maintenance contracts associated with initial product sales, and a $0.2 million increase attributed to sale of SaaS. Subscription revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $5.6 million increase attributed to support and maintenance contracts that were renewals, a $0.6 million increase attributed to support and maintenance contracts associated with initial product sales, and a $0.3 million increase attributed to sale of SaaS.
Professional services revenue remained relatively consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Professional services revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in the sale of optional installation and training services.


Subscription Revenue. Our subscription revenue is derived from term contracts with terms that are generally either one or three years, but can be up to five years. We recognize revenue from subscription over the contractual service period. As a percentage of total revenue, we expect our subscription revenue to vary from quarter to quarter based on seasonal and cyclical factors.
Professional Services Revenue. Our professional services revenue is generally recognized over time as the services are rendered. As a percentage of total revenue, we expect our professional services revenue to vary from quarter to quarter based on seasonal and cyclical factors.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue is comprised of cost of license revenue, cost of subscription revenue, and cost of professional services revenue.
Cost of license revenue primarily consists of costs paid to our third-party contract manufacturer for our Hardware Products. Our cost of license revenue also includes allocated costs, shipping costs and personnel costs associated with logistics for our Hardware Products, and amortization of acquired developed technology. We expect our cost of license revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on product mix between Software Products and Hardware Products; however, over time, we expect our cost of license revenue to decline as a percentage of license revenue reflecting the following:continuing shift towards Software Products in our product mix.
Cost of License Revenue. Cost of license revenue primarily consists of costs paid to our third-party contract manufacturer for our Hardware Products. Our cost of license revenue also includes allocated costs, shipping
Cost of subscription revenue consists of personnel costs for our global customer support organization and warranty-related hardware support costs. We expect our cost of subscription revenue to increase in absolute dollars over time as we grow our customer support organization to accommodate our anticipated subscription revenue growth rate. In addition, we also expect the cost of subscription revenue to increase in absolute dollars as costs of the infrastructure for our SaaS products increase.
Cost of professional services revenue consists of personnel costs for our global professional services organization and costs paid to third-party contractors that deliver some of our services. Although we are continuing to scale our organization and, therefore, expect that cost of professional services revenue will increase in absolute dollars, we expect our cost of professional services revenue to decline over the longer term as a percentage of our professional services revenue as we expect to scale our professional services organization at a lower growth rate than our anticipated professional services revenue growth rate.

Cost of license revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $1.0 million increase resulting from higher quantities of hardware sold separately for use with our Software Products, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease due to lower quantities of appliances sold that are embedded with our software. Cost of license revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease due to lower quantities of appliances sold that are embedded with our software, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase due to higher quantities of hardware sold separately for use with our Software Products.
Cost of subscription revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to increases in personnel costs related to an 5% increase in headcount in our customer support organization and an increase in cloud-based cost with the expansion of our SaaS offering.
Cost of professional services revenue remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Cost of professional services revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to increases in personnel costs related to a 7% increase in headcount in our professional services organization.

Gross Profit and personnel costs associated with logistics for our Hardware Products, and amortization of acquired developed technology. We expect our cost of license revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on product mix between Software Products and Hardware Products; however, over time, we expect our cost of license revenue to decline as a percentage of license revenue reflecting the continuing shift towards Software Products in our product mix.
Cost of Subscription Revenue. Cost of subscription revenue consists of personnel costs for our global customer support organization and warranty-related hardware support costs. We expect our cost of subscription revenue to increase slightly over time as we grow our customer support organization to accommodate our anticipated subscription revenue growth rate.
Cost of Professional Services Revenue. Cost of professional services revenue consists of personnel costs for our global professional services organization and costs paid to third-party contractors that deliver some of our services. We expect our cost of professional services revenue to decline over time as a percentage of our professional services revenue as we expect to scale our professional services organization at a lower growth rate than our anticipated professional services revenue growth rate.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the mix of products sold between Software Products and Hardware Products; the mix between high-margin and low-margin Hardware Products; the mix of revenue between license, subscription, and professional services; the average sales price of our Software Products, Hardware Products, support and maintenance contracts, and professional services; amortization of acquired developed technology; and manufacturing costs.

Gross profit decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is consistent with the changes in our revenue and cost of revenue.
Gross margin decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The decrease in margin on our license revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily driven by a shift in product mix within Hardware Products revenue due to a lower concentration of high-end appliances revenue and higher concentration of revenue from hardware sold separately for use with our Software Products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Within Hardware Products revenue, the mix among hardware sold separately for use with our Software Products, low-end appliances that are embedded with our software, and high-end appliances that are embedded with our software

shifted to 89:10:1 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 76:19:5 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and to 89:10:1 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 64:21:15 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The mix between Software Products revenue and Hardware Products revenue shifted to 83:17 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 82:18 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and to 79:21 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 75:25 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The decrease in margin on our subscription revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to higher personnel costs related to increased headcount in our support organization, as compared to our subscription revenue growth. The decrease was further driven by an increase in cloud-based cost with the expansion of our SaaS offering.
The increase in margin on our professional services revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily driven by improvements made within professional services as we scale our professional services organizations at a lower growth rate than our anticipated professional services revenue growth rate.

Research and development expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs of $3.4 million resulting from a 13% increase in headcount, partially offset by a decrease in allocated IT and facilities cost. Research and development expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs of $8.0 million resulting from a 13% increase in headcount, partially offset by a decrease in allocated IT and facilities cost.
Sales and marketing expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs of $9.3 million resulting from a 30% decrease in headcount mainly attributable to restructuring activities and includes a decrease in stock compensation expense of $2.4 million. The decrease was further driven by a decrease in travel and entertainment expense of $5.0 million and a decrease in sales and marketing expense of $1.5 million as various marketing events and travels were ceased in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales and marketing expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs of $13.8 million resulting from a 30% decrease in headcount mainly attributable to restructuring activities and includes a decrease in commissions of $3.4 million consistent with the decrease in revenue for the period and a decrease in stock compensation expense of $3.1 million. The decrease was further driven by a decrease in travel and entertainment expense of $6.7 million and a decrease in sales and marketing expense of $2.4 million as various in-person marketing events and travel were ceased in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
General and administrative expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $8.0 million and includes legal fees related to the Merger, partially offset by a decrease in personnel cost of $1.9 million resulting from a 3% decrease in headcount mainly attributable to restructuring activities. General and administrative expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $17.1 million, which includes consulting and legal fees related to the Merger. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in personnel costs of $1.9 million resulting from a 3% decrease in headcount mainly attributable to restructuring activities.
Restructuring expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to restructuring activities that resulted in a reduction in force as we realigned our cost structure and workforce to align with our near-term business and strategy in response to the impact of COVID-19 on our business operations and the plan to transition into a subscription and cloud-based product.

Sales and marketing expense also includes sales commissions, costs for market development programs, promotional and other marketing costs, travel costs, professional services, amortization of acquired customer relationships, and allocated costs including facilities and information technology related costs. Incremental commissions incurred to acquire customer contracts are deferred and recognized as we recognize the associated revenue or over the estimated customer life. We expect sales and marketing expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase the size of our sales and marketing organizations; however, we expect our sales and marketing expense to decline as a percentage of total revenue in the long term as we scale the business.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists of personnel costs, professional services, and allocated costs including facilities and information technology related costs. General and administrative personnel include our executive, finance, human resources, and legal organizations. Professional services consist primarily of legal, auditing, accounting, and other consulting costs. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars due to additional costs associated with accounting, compliance, insurance, and investor relations as we continue to support our growth; however, we expect our general and administrative expense to decline as a percentage of total revenue in the long term as we scale the business.

Interest expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $16.0 million drawdown of revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2020 which was fully repaid in the second quarter of 2020.

Gross profit increased for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is consistent with the changes in our revenue and cost of revenue.
Gross margin increased for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The increase in margin on our license revenue was due to a higher concentration of Software Products revenue compared to Hardware Products revenue, which was principally driven by a shift in product mix towards increased sales of eyeSight, eyeControl, and eyeExtend. The mix between Software Products revenue and Hardware Products revenue shifted to 75:25 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 63:37 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Within Hardware Products revenue, the mix among hardware sold separately for use with our Software Products, low-end appliances that are embedded with our software, and high-end appliances that are embedded with our software shifted to 64:21:15 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 37:35:28 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The decrease in margin on our subscription revenue was due to higher personnel costs related to increased headcount in our support organization, as comparedmaterial impact to our subscription revenue growth.
The increase in margin on our professional services revenue was primarily driven by improvements made within professional services as we scale our professional services organizations at a lower growth rate than our anticipated professional services revenue growth rate.

The effective tax rate increased for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in worldwide loss before income taxes, which was largely generated in the United States and offset by a full valuation allowance.consolidated financial statements.

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived from cash received from our initial public offering and follow-on offering, and cash flows from operations. Our cash equivalents are comprised of cash and money market accounts. Our marketable securities are comprised of commercial paper, corporate-debt securities, and U.S. government securities. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and services offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of our products.products as well as the timing of the closing of the Merger and the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on our business.
At June 30, 2019,2020, our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $104.9$57.0 million were held for general corporate purposes, of which approximately $26.2$25.5 million was held outside of the United States. We will continue to reinvest our foreign cash outside of the United States. If we were to repatriate these earnings to the United States, any associated withholding tax would not be material.
The significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, current deferred commissions, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, reduced by accounts

payable, accrued compensation, accrued expenses, current deferred revenue, current notes payable, and current operating lease liabilities.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our sales contracts are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollar. A portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside of the United States, are denominated in foreign currencies, and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We performed a sensitivity analysis of these risks to our financial positions as of June 30, 2020 to determine whether material changes in market risks pertaining to currency and interest rates have occurred as a result of COVID-19. Our assessment of our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since the presentation set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019. See section titled “Risk Factors” for further discussion of the possible impact of COVID-19 on our business.

  
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019,2020, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are

required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of COVID-19, our global workforce shifted to a primarily work from home environment beginning in March 2020. While our pre-existing controls were not specifically designed to operate in our current work from home operating environment, we believe that our internal controls over financial reporting continue to be effective.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

  
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.
To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred, and the amount of such additional loss would be material, we will either disclose the estimated additional loss or state that such an estimate cannot be made. We do not currently believe that it is reasonably possible that additional losses in connection with litigation arising in the ordinary course of business would be material.
Between March 13, 2020 and April 3, 2020, four lawsuits were filed by purported stockholders of the Company challenging disclosures made by us in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement. Of those four lawsuits, three were brought by plaintiffs individually and are captioned Blackwell v. Forescout Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-02267 (S.D.N.Y. filed Mar. 13, 2020); Bushansky v. Forescout Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:20-cv-01867-BLF (N.D. Cal. filed Mar. 17, 2020); and Williams v. Forescout Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-02784-ALC (S.D.N.Y. filed April 3, 2020) (which we refer to collectively as the “Complaints”). The Complaints named as defendants the Company and the members of our board of directors (the “Board”). The Complaints alleged violations of Section 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder.  The Blackwell and Bushansky complaints contended that our preliminary proxy statement omitted or misrepresented material information regarding the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement. The Williams complaint contended that our definitive proxy statement omitted or misrepresented material information regarding the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement. The allegations in the Complaints included that material information was misstated or omitted regarding our financial projections, the analyses performed by our investment banker, and certain details about past services that our investment banker provided to Advent and its affiliates. The Blackwellcomplaint also alleged that the preliminary proxy statement omitted material information regarding the recusal of a member of the Board from meetings of the Board and its Strategic Committee relating to the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement, as well as certain details of confidentiality agreements between ForeScout and ten potential acquirors. In addition, the Bushansky complaint alleged that the preliminary proxy statement omitted material information regarding discussions of the potential continued employment, retention, or other benefits of our executive officers and/or directors following the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement. The Complaints sought, among other things, to (1) enjoin the defendants from consummating the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement; (2) cause the defendants to disseminate revised disclosures; and (3) rescind the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement or recover damages in the event that such transactions were completed.
The Blackwell action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on June 8, 2020. The Bushansky action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on June 1, 2020. The Williams action, which was not served, was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on June 22, 2020.
The fourth lawsuit, which was brought as a putative class action, was captioned Smith v. Forescout Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-00376-CFC (D. Del. Filed Mar. 17, 2020). The Smith complaint alleged that we and members of our Board violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. The Smith complaint contended that our preliminary proxy statement omitted or misrepresented material information regarding the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement and sought the remedies of injunctive relief, rescission or rescissory damages, and an award of plaintiffs’ costs, including attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Smith complaint also sought dissemination of a proxy statement with revised disclosures.
The Smith action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on June 1, 2020. On June 5, 2020, the plaintiff in the Blackwell action mentioned above filed a motion to be appointed as the lead plaintiff in the Smith action. On June 26,

2020, the same plaintiff filed a notice of non-opposition to his motion to be appointed lead plaintiff. That motion is currently pending.
On January 2, 2020, Christopher L. Sayce filed a class action lawsuit (which we refer to as the “Sayce action”) in the Northern District of California alleging that the Company, Michael DeCesare and Christopher Harms violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The purported class includes all persons who purchased or acquired our securities between February 7, 2019, and October 9, 2019. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 22, 2020. The amended complaint purports to bring claims on behalf of a class of purchasers of our securities during the period from February 7, 2019 through May 15, 2020. On July 6, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
On June 10, 2020, a putative stockholder class action complaint (which we refer to as “The Arbitrage Fund action”) was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of California by The Arbitrage Fund, Water Island LevArb Fund, L.P., Water Island Diversified Event-Driven Fund, Water Island Merger Arbitrage Institutional Comingled Master Fund LP and AltShares Merger Arbitrage ETF, alleging that Forescout, Michael DeCesare and Christopher Harms violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The purported class includes all persons who purchased or acquired our securities between February 6, 2020, and May 15, 2020, and generally alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements and/or omitted material facts concerning our financial performance and the risk that the acquisition of Forescout by Advent would not close. On June 17, 2020, the Court granted an administrative motion to relate The Arbitrage Fund action and the Sayce action. On July 22, 2020, the Court entered an order consolidating the Sayce and The Arbitrage Fund actions. The Court also vacated its prior order appointing the lead plaintiff and appointing lead counsel and ordered the former lead plaintiff to republish notice under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act by July 31, 2020, and that any member of the putative class seeking to be appointed lead plaintiff must file a lead plaintiff motion within 60 days thereafter. The former lead plaintiff republished notice on July 29, 2020. The Court also denied as moot defendants’ pending motion to dismiss without prejudice to refiling a motion to dismiss following the conclusion of the new lead plaintiff process.
On July 31, 2020, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, by Stephen Bushansky, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated against the Company and our Board for alleged violations of Delaware law and Section 14(e) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act related to the entry into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and the Schedule 14D-9. The complaint seeks to (1) enjoin the consummation of the tender offer contemplated by the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement (the “Offer”); (2) cause defendants to disseminate revised disclosures; and (3) rescind the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement or recover damages in the event that such transactions were completed.
On July 31, 2020, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, by Edward Smith, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, against the Company and our Board for alleged violations of Section 14(d), Section 14(e) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act related to the Schedule 14D-9. Parent and Merger Sub are also named as defendants. The complaint seeks to (1) enjoin the consummation of the Offer; (2) cause defendants to disseminate revised disclosures; and (3) rescind the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement or recover damages in the event that such transactions were completed.
On August 4, 2020, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, by Ronald Blackwell, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, against the Company and our Board for alleged violations of Section 14(e) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act related to the Schedule 14D-9. The complaint seeks to (1) enjoin the consummation of the Offer; (2) cause defendants to disseminate revised disclosures; and (3) rescind the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement or recover damages in the event that such transactions were completed.
On May 15, 2020, Fortinet, Inc. (“Fortinet”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, against the Company for alleged patent infringement. The complaint seeks legal and equitable relief against the Company’s purported unlawful infringement of three of Fortinet's United States Patents (Patent Nos. 8,458,314, 9,369,299, and 9,948,662). The claim does not state a value for potential damages. Based on the Company’s preliminary review, the Company believes the claims to be without merit and the Company plans to vigorously defend

itself to the maximum extent allowed by the law. On July 13, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Fortinet’s complaint citing multiple grounds for dismissing Fortinet’s complaint.
We believe that the claims asserted in all of the above-referenced actions are without merit.
On May 19, 2020, we filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Forescout Technologies, Inc. v. Ferrari Group Holdings, L.P., et al., C.A. No. 2020-0385-SG. This action alleged that Parent and Merger Sub breached the Original Merger Agreement. On May 30, 2020, Parent and Merger Sub filed counterclaims alleging that we breached the Original Merger Agreement and that certain conditions to closing thereunder could not be met. Concurrently with the execution of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, Forescout, Parent and Merger Sub entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the parties have agreed to release their respective claims made in connection with that litigation. On July 15, 2020, the parties submitted a stipulation dismissing all claims and counterclaims in the action which the Court granted the same day. The action is now concluded.


  
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
Refer to the description of the risk factors associated with our business in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. There2019. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Before you buy our common stock, you should know that making such an investment involves some risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019 and the additional risk set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, any one of those risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations, which could cause our stock price to decline. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
The recent global COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our business and results of operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely affect our business operations, financial performance, results of operations, and financial position.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. This outbreak has continued to spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity and financial markets. As a result of COVID-19, we are experiencing negative impacts on our sales and marketing efforts, along with delays to, and lengthening of, our sales cycles. Any of these could harm our business and results of operations. In addition, COVID-19 may disrupt the operations of our customers and partners for an indefinite period of time, including as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns, all of which could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
More generally, the outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected economies and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn, which could decrease technology spending and adversely affect demand for our offerings and harm our business and results of operations. We expect that until the pandemic subsides, we will face longer sales cycles and challenges attracting new customers and closing sales. Further, if we need to raise capital, we may not be able to do so on terms that are favorable for us or our stockholders, or at all. It is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, as the impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The announcement and pendency of our agreement to be acquired by Advent could adversely affect our business.
On February 6, 2020, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by entities affiliated with Advent (such acquisition, the “Acquisition”). We amended the terms of that agreement on July 15, 2020. Uncertainty about the effect of the Acquisition on our end-customers, employees, partners, and other parties may adversely affect our business. Our employees may experience uncertainty about their roles or seniority following the Acquisition. There can be no assurance that our employees, including key personnel, can be retained, or that we will be able to attract and retain employees to the same extent that we have previously been able to. Any loss or distraction of such employees could adversely affect our business and operations. In addition, we have diverted, and will continue to divert, significant management resources, and have expended, and will continue to expend, significant cash amounts, toward the completion of the Acquisition, which could adversely affect our business and operations. Parties with which we do business may experience uncertainty associated with the Acquisition, including with respect to current or future business relationships with us. Uncertainty may cause customers to refrain from doing business with us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The failure to complete the Acquisition could adversely affect our business.
Consummation of the Acquisition is subject to several conditions beyond our control that may prevent, delay, or otherwise adversely affect its completion, including the need for at least a majority of our stockholders to tender their shares of our common stock into the Offer. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived, it is possible that the Acquisition will not be consummated in the expected time frame (or at all) or that the definitive agreement may be terminated. If the Acquisition is not completed, the share price of our common stock may decrease to the extent that the current market price of our common stock reflects an assumption that the Acquisition will be completed. In addition, under circumstances specified in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $48.6 million to Advent. Further, a failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community. Any disruption to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the Acquisition and from intensifying competition from our competitors, including any adverse changes in our

relationships with our customers, employees, partners and other parties, could continue or accelerate in the event of a failed transaction. There can be no assurance that our business, relationships with other parties, liquidity or financial condition will not be adversely affected, as compared to the condition prior to the announcement of the Acquisition, if the Acquisition is not consummated.
While the Acquisition is pending, we are subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions that could harm our operations and the future of our business or result in a loss of employees.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business. These restrictions subject us to a variety of specified limitations, including the ability in certain cases to enter into material contracts, acquire or dispose of assets, incur indebtedness or incur capital expenditures, until the Acquisition becomes effective or the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement is terminated. These restrictions may inhibit our ability to take actions that we may consider advantageous and may limit our ability to respond to future business opportunities and industry developments that may arise during such period. The pendency of the Acquisition has diverted, and may continue to divert, management’s attention and our resources from ongoing business and operations. Our end-customers, employees, partners, and other parties may have uncertainties about the effects of the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, it is possible that some customers and other persons with whom we have a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationship with us as a result of the Acquisition. If any of these effects were to occur, it could materially and adversely impact our business, cash flow, results of operations or financial condition, as well as the market price of our common stock and our perceived value, regardless of whether the Acquisition is completed. In addition, whether or not the Acquisition is completed, while it is pending we will continue to incur costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the Acquisition, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition.
The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Acquisition.
The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for us to enter into alternative transactions. The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict our ability to, among other things, solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the submission of inquiries, proposals or offers relating to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to any acquisition proposal from a third party. The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement also provides that the Board will not change its recommendation that our stockholders tender their shares into the Offer and will not approve any agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal, subject to limited exceptions.
While we believe that these provisions are reasonable, customary and not preclusive of other offers, they might discourage a third party that has an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of us from considering or proposing such acquisition, even if such party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per-share value than the Offer Price. Furthermore, the requirement to pay a termination fee under certain circumstances may result in a third party proposing to pay a lower per-share price to acquire us than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the $48.6 million termination fee that may become payable by us in certain circumstances.
Litigation may arise in connection with the Acquisition, which could be costly, prevent consummation of the Acquisition, divert management’s attention and otherwise materially harm our business.
Regardless of the outcome of any future litigation related to the Acquisition, such litigation may be time-consuming and expensive and may distract our management from running the day-to-day operations of our business. The litigation costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources to address the claims and counterclaims in any litigation related to the Acquisition may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, prospects, and financial condition. If the Acquisition is not consummated for any reason, litigation could be filed in connection with the failure to consummate the Acquisition. Any litigation related to the Acquisition may result in negative publicity or an unfavorable impression of us, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock, impair our ability to recruit or retain employees, damage our relationships with our end-customers, manufacturers and other third-party providers, or otherwise materially harm our operations and financial performance.
