Introduction
On June 22, 2022, Alpine Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Anaplan Holdings, LLC (f/k/a Alpine Parent, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into Anaplan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 20, 2022, as amended by that certain Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 6, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, 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 Parent. Parent is controlled by investment funds affiliated with Thoma Bravo, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (such investment funds, collectively, “Thoma Bravo”), and is beneficially owned by such funds and certain other investors.
| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information set forth in the Introduction to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Introduction”) is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Shares”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of the Merger Agreement and any Company Shares that have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal) were cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $63.75, net of applicable withholding taxes and without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”).
Vested and unvested Company stock options were cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such stock option multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such stock option (less applicable deductions and withholdings), with payment with respect to the Company stock options that remained unvested following application of the additional vesting credit (as described below) to be made at the same time as such unvested Company stock options would have vested pursuant to their terms and subject to the Optionholder’s continued service through the applicable vesting date(s).
Vested and unvested Company restricted stock units (including any restricted stock units that had been subject to performance conditions that were not satisfied at the Effective Time, which performance conditions were deemed satisfied at 100% of the target levels of performance in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock plan and award agreement) were, subject to the following sentence, cancelled at the Effective Time and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such restricted stock unit (less applicable deductions and withholdings), with payment with respect to the Company restricted stock units that remained unvested following application of the additional vesting credit (as described below) to be made at the same time as such unvested Company restricted stock units would have vested pursuant to their terms and subject to such holder’s continued service through the applicable vesting date(s).
Unvested Company restricted stock units and unvested Company stock options, in each case, that were not subject to performance conditions, that were outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement and that would have vested on or prior to January 31, 2023 in accordance with their terms as in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement each received additional vesting credit, were deemed vested as of the Effective Time and will be paid following the Closing. Any remaining unvested Company restricted stock units and unvested Company stock options, in each case, that were not subject to performance conditions (i.e., any time-based Company restricted stock units or stock options that remained outstanding and unvested after the Effective Time following application of the additional vesting credit through January 31, 2023 as described above) were converted to cash awards, and will vest and be paid on their original vesting schedule, subject to such holder’s continued service through the applicable vesting date(s), as described above.
For any unvested Company restricted stock units and unvested Company stock options that were outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement and that remained subject to performance conditions as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, after giving effect to the deemed achievement of performance conditions at 100% of target levels as described above, one-third (1/3) of such unvested restricted stock units and unvested stock options received additional vesting credit and were deemed vested as of the Effective Time and will be paid following the Closing.
For the remaining unvested Company restricted stock units and Company stock options, in each case, that were subject to performance conditions and that were not accelerated in accordance with the preceding sentence (i.e., with respect to the remaining two-thirds (2/3) of the shares subject thereto), 50% of such remaining awards will vest on February 1, 2023, and the remaining 50% will vest on February 1, 2024, in each case, subject to such holder’s continued service through the applicable vesting date(s).
