Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 23, 2018, MINDBODY, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “MINDBODY”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Torreys Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Torreys Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub were formed by affiliates of Vista Equity Partners Fund VI, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Vista Fund VI”), and Vista Equity Partners Fund VII, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Vista Fund VII”, and together with Vista Fund VI, the “Vista Funds”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

At the Effective Time, each:

(i) share of Class A common stock, par value $0.000004 per share, of the Company (“Company Class A Stock”) and share of Class B common stock, par value $0.000004 per share, of the Company (“Company Class B Stock”, and together with the Company Class A Stock, the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares or Dissenting Company Shares) will be cancelled and extinguished, and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $36.50, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”);

(ii) Company Option and Company RSU that is unexpired, unexercised, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or that vests solely as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (each, a “Vested Award”) will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares subject to such Vested Award, multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price (or, for each Company Option, the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over such Company Option’s per share exercise price), subject to any required withholding of taxes; and

(iii) Company Option and Company RSU that is unexpired, unexercised, and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not a Vested Award (each, an “Unvested Award”) will be cancelled and replaced with a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares subject to such Unvested Award multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price (or, for each Company Option, the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over such Company Option’s per share exercise price) subject to any required withholding of taxes (the “Cash Replacement Amounts”), which Cash Replacement Amounts will, subject to the holder’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Award for which such Cash Replacement Amounts were exchanged would have vested pursuant to its terms, with all Cash Replacement Amounts having the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting (including accelerated vesting on specific terminations of employment, to the extent applicable)) as applied to the Unvested Awards for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Merger or for any applicable administrative or ministerial changes. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Options (whether vested or unvested) with a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share Price will be cancelled immediately upon the Effective Time without payment or consideration.

Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, the Vista Funds have committed to invest in Parent, directly or indirectly, the cash amounts set forth therein for the purpose of funding the full amount of the aggregate purchase price due at the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Company is a third party beneficiary of the Equity Commitment Letter.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the: (i) Requisite Stockholder Approval; (ii) expiration or termination of any waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; and (iii) absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger.

The Company has made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and has agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. The Company also has the right to a customary30-day“go-shop” period beginning on December 23, 2018 and continuing until 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on January 22, 2019 to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties regarding any alternative acquisition proposals. However, after suchgo-shop period and prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company will be subject to customary“no-shop” restrictions on its ability to engage in such actions, subject to a customary “fiduciary out” provision that allows the Company, under certain specified circumstances, to provide information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such alternative acquisition proposal either (x) constitutes a Superior Proposal or (y) is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and the failure to explore such alternative acquisition proposal would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable law. The parties have also agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Parent. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee. If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in connection with certain specified circumstances, including due to the Company accepting a Superior Proposal following thego-shop period or due to the Company Board’s withdrawal of its recommendation of the Merger, then the termination fee payable by the Company to Parent will be $57,168,000. This termination fee will also be payable if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances and prior to such termination, a proposal to acquire more than 50% of the Company’s stock or assets is publicly announced or disclosed and the Company enters into an agreement for, or completes, any transaction involving the acquisition of more than 50% of its stock or assets within one year of the termination. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in connection with the Company accepting a Superior Proposal within thego-shop period, then the termination fee payable by the Company to Parent will be $28,584,000.

In addition to the foregoing termination rights, and subject to certain limitations, the Company or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by June 23, 2019.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Richard Stollmeyer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company Board, certain parties related to Richard Stollmeyer (together with Richard Stollmeyer, the “Stollmeyer Group”) and Institutional Venture Partners XIII, L.P. (together with the Stollmeyer Group, the “Signing Stockholders”), who held, in the aggregate, as of the Capitalization Date, shares of Company Common Stock representing approximately 6.6% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and approximately 31.8% of the voting power of the Company (and approximately 34.6% of the voting power of the Company when taking into account Company RSUs and Company Options on anas-converted basis, held in the aggregate by the Signing Stockholders), have granted irrevocable proxies (the “Irrevocable Proxies”) to certain members of the Company Board, as the exclusive attorneys and proxies of the Signing Stockholders with respect to the matters set forth in the Irrevocable Proxies (the “Proxies”). Under the Irrevocable Proxies, the Signing Stockholders have irrevocably instructed the Proxies, during the term of the Irrevocable Proxies, to vote the Signing Stockholders’ shares of Company Common Stock (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and/or (ii) against any acquisition proposal or any action or agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations to consummate the Merger as specified in the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled. The obligations and rights under the Irrevocable Proxies generally terminate if and when (x) the Merger Agreement terminates or (y) there is a Company Board Recommendation Change that is in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and is due to receipt by the Company of a Superior Proposal.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and:

• should not be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

• may have been qualified in the Merger Agreement by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement;

• may apply contractual standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under applicable securities laws; and

• were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement.
