Introduction
On January 10, 2019, Imperial Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Imperial Purchaser, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Newco”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into Imperva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 10, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Newco, Merger Sub and the Company. The Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco. Newco is controlled by investment funds affiliated with Thoma Bravo, LLC (“Thoma Bravo”) and is beneficially owned by such funds. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The information set forth in the Introduction to this Current Report on Form8-K (the “Introduction”) is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
At the Effective Time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Shares or Dissenting Shares) was cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $55.75, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”). Vested Company Options and vested RSUs (including vested PRSUs) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Price, less the exercise price per share in the case of vested Company Options. Unvested Company Options and unvested RSUs (including unvested PRSUs) were cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive the Per Share Price, less the exercise price per share in the case of unvested Company Options, payable following satisfaction of the vesting conditions of the underlying unvested Company Options or unvested RSUs and PRSUs.
