Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On January 26, 2024, Edgio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Edgio” or the “Company”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). As previously disclosed, Edgio entered into a private exchange with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP (“Lynrock”), holding an aggregate of $118,870,000 in principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Existing Notes”). In exchange for Lynrock’s Existing Notes, the Company issued Lynrock $118,870,000 in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Company’s new (3.5% cash / 16% PIK) Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2027 (the “New Notes”). Further, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provides a senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Lynrock. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, ranks pari passu with the New Notes and provides for term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $79,472,175.22 at an interest rate of 3.5% cash / 16% PIK, payable quarterly and is guaranteed by each of its domestic subsidiaries. In connection with the private exchange, Edgio agreed to convene a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to seek to obtain the votes of the requisite percentage of stockholders required pursuant to the Company’s charter and constitutional documents and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, as applicable, to (A) amend the certificate of incorporation to provide for a reverse stock split and authorization of additional shares of common stock; (B) approve the conversion features of the New Notes and; (C) approve the issuance of the Warrants to Lynrock; and (D) vote to elect the new directors agreed to by Edgio and Lynrock (the “New Directors”) and to require that specified actions, such as bankruptcy filings, M&A, and financings (a “Significant Event”) must have the unanimous support of the New Directors in order for the Board to approve the event. The Company will seek to obtain approval for the New Directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be scheduled in 2024.
At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the proposals listed below. The proposals are described in detail in the Company’s proxy statement for the Special Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2024.
