DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
KLDiscovery Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the following registration statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and to deregister any and all shares of the Registrant's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for issuance under the KLDiscovery Inc. 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the “2019 Plan”) which remain unsold as of the date hereof:
As previously disclosed, on August 14, 2024, the Company completed a series of transactions that effectuated a financial restructuring of the Company’s capital structure and reduced the Company’s indebtedness (the “Restructuring”). In connection with the Restructuring, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statements is being terminated. Following effectiveness of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, the Company intends to file a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the SEC providing notice of suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in each of the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities that were registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each of the Registration Statements as of the date hereof.
The foregoing description of the Restructuring does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Transaction Support Agreement dated as of July 3, 2024, by and among the Company, the holders of all of the Company’s 8.00% convertible debentures due 2024, the Company’s secured lenders, and certain holders of equity interests in the Company, and the Exchange Agreement dated as of July 3, 2024, by and among the Company and the holders of all of the Company’s 8.00% convertible debentures due 2024, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 8, 2024.
