| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. | ||||
On July 28, 2021, Limelight Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Moov Corporation, a California corporation (the “Moov”), Mojo Merger Sub I, Inc., a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Mojo Merger Sub II, LLC, a California limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Moov securityholders (the “Securityholders’ Representative”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Moov (the “First Merger”) and Merger Sub I will cease to exist and Moov will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and immediately following the First Merger, Moov will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and collectively with the First Merger, the “Merger”), and upon consummation of the Second Merger, Moov will cease to exist and Merger Sub II will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), all outstanding shares of Moov capital stock, options to purchase Moov capital stock, warrants to purchase Moov capital stock, convertible securities and other outstanding equity interests will be cancelled in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $55,000,000, subject to customary adjustments for transactions of this nature, in the form of cash in the aggregate amount of $32,500,000 and shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in the aggregate amount of $22,500,000 (the “Stock Consideration”); provided, that (a) shares of Moov capital stock held by unaccredited stockholders, and vested options to purchase Moov capital stock will receive cash in lieu of the Stock Consideration, (b) in-the-money unvested options to purchase Moov capital stock held by employees of the Company who remain or become employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries following the Closing will be assumed by the Company or substituted with a corresponding unvested stock option of the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock, and (c) all out-of-the money unvested options to purchase Company capital stock will be cancelled for no consideration. The number of shares to be issued in connection with the Stock Consideration will be calculated based on a volume-weighted average price per share of the Common Stock over the preceding 20-day trading period ending on the third trading day immediately prior to the date of the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”).
In addition, an incentive equity pool of $30,000,000 of restricted stock units will be paid to employees who are to remain employees of the Company as follows:
•$10 million is based on a four-year service vesting period; and
•$20 million is based on achieving certain revenue growth targets, utilization metrics, and customer retained revenue metrics over the same four-year period.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. A portion of the merger consideration will be held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of the Moov securityholders. The Closing is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021.
The Company intends to issue the shares of common stock described herein in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to be filed following the Closing of Limelight’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2021.
