Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
See the disclosure under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. As consideration in the proposed acquisition of Krux Digital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Krux”) as described under Item 8.01 below and incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02, salesforce.com, inc. (the “Company”) has agreed to issue shares of Company common stock to Krux stockholders in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below). This issuance of shares is expected to be made in reliance on one or more of the following exemptions or exclusions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”): Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
Also as consideration in certain acquisitions completed since August 1, 2016, the filing date of the Company’s Form 8-K last disclosing this Item 3.02 information, the Company issued 1,180,063 shares of its common stock on September 1, 2016, 354,473 shares of its common stock on September 15, 2016 and 59,896 shares of its common stock on September 30, 2016. All or a portion of each such issuance of shares is subject to vesting conditions based upon continued employment of certain recipients following closing of the acquisitions. These issuances were made in reliance on one or more of the following exemptions or exclusions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act: Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 3, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire Krux. Krux is a leading data management platform that unifies, segments and activates audiences to increase engagement with users, prospects and customers. Following the acquisition, Krux will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the acquisition and subject to customary purchase price adjustments, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Krux capital stock, the Company expects to pay approximately $340 million in cash and to issue shares of Company common stock. The aggregate number of shares of Company common stock to be issued will be determined based on the volume-weighted average closing price of Company common stock during the ten trading days ending on (and including) the second trading day before closing of the acquisition (the “Company Trading Price”); provided that, for purposes of determining the number of shares to be issued, the Company Trading Price will not be less than $57.25 nor more than $100.18. As a result, if the acquisition is consummated, the Company expects to issue at closing between approximately 3.4 million and approximately six million shares of Company common stock. A portion of the shares will be subject to vesting conditions based upon continued employment of certain recipients following closing of the acquisition. In addition, the Company has agreed to assume stock options and other equity awards of Krux. The amounts set forth above with respect to the Krux acquisition are estimates and are subject to change.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Krux. A portion of the aggregate consideration will be held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of the Krux security holders. Closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The acquisition is anticipated to close in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2017.
