Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On November 5, 2021, McAfee Corp. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Condor BidCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Condor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Subsidiary will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Affiliates of funds advised by each of Advent International Corporation, Permira Advisers LLC, Crosspoint Capital Partners L.P. and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (each, a “Sponsor”), have committed to capitalize Parent at the Closing.

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved the Merger Agreement and, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the Merger, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (subject to certain exceptions, including for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company and Class B Common Stock of the Company, each having par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock” and the “Class B Common Stock”, respectively, and, collectively, the “Company Stock”) owned by stockholders of the Company who have not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and have properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware), (i) each share of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive $26.00 in cash, without interest (the per share consideration, the “Per Share Consideration” and the aggregate consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), (ii) each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding and held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no payment will be made with respect therefor; (iii) each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding and held by any subsidiary of either the Company or Parent (other than Merger Subsidiary) immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation such that each such subsidiary owns the same percentage of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such subsidiary owned of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iv) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and, together with the shares described in clause (iii) immediately above, will constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as provided therein, (i) the Company will require each Member (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “OpCo LLC Agreement”) of Foundation Technology Worldwide LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OpCo LLC”)) to effect an exchange of all such Member’s vested Management Incentive Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (if any) for New Class A Units (as defined in the OpCo LLC Agreement), and, thereafter, will require each Member to effect a redemption of all of such Member’s Class A Units (as defined in the OpCo LLC Agreement) and Class B Common Stock in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Exchange and Redemption”) and (ii) each share of Class B Common Stock will automatically be canceled immediately upon the consummation of the Exchange and Redemption, such that no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, the Board shall take all actions so that all Management Incentive Units of OpCo LLC shall be vested in full as of immediately prior to the Exchange and Redemption.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) each in-the-money option to purchase shares of Company Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding and vested (including each in-the-money option that accelerates and becomes vested by its terms in connection with the transactions) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive, without interest, an amount in cash determined by multiplying the excess of the Per Share Consideration over the option exercise price by the number of shares of Company Stock

subject to such option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) each Company Stock Option that is not an in-the-money Company Stock Option shall be canceled for no consideration; (iii) each restricted stock unit (“Company RSU”) and performance stock unit (“Company PSU”, and collectively with the Company Stock Options, shares of restricted Company Stock and Company RSUs, “Company Awards”) with respect to Company Stock that is outstanding and vested (including each Company RSU and each Company PSU that accelerates and becomes vested by its terms in connection with the transactions) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive, without interest, an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the vested Company RSU or Company PSU award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Per Share Consideration; and (iv) each Company Award that is then outstanding and not vested will be converted into a cash award, which will remain subject to the same time-vesting terms and conditions that apply immediately prior to closing, will be paid out on the next payroll date following the applicable vesting date, so long as the applicable portion becomes vested prior to the holder’s termination of service, and will be subject to vesting, payment and other conditions that are no less favorable to the holder than those that applied to the corresponding award immediately prior to closing. Each cash award will provide the holder with the opportunity to be paid an amount in cash equal to (1) with respect to each in-the-money Company Stock Option that is not vested, (A) the excess of the Per Share Consideration over the option exercise price of such in-the-money Company Stock Option multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such in-the-money Company Stock Option as of immediately prior to the closing and (2) with respect to each restricted stock award, Company RSU, or Company PSU that is not vested, (A) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such restricted stock award, Company RSU, or Company PSU as of immediately prior to the closing multiplied by (B) the Per Share Consideration; provided, that (x) in the case of a Company PSU that is not vested and that has an applicable one-year performance period that ends on or ended prior to the closing, for purposes of determining the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company PSU converted into the Cash Award, such Company PSU shall be deemed earned based on the actual performance during such performance period, and (y) in the case of a Company PSU that is not vested and that has an applicable one-year performance period that ends after the closing, for purposes of determining the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company PSU converted into the Cash Award, the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company PSU shall be determined as though such performance conditions were satisfied at the applicable target levels.

Each award payable in a fixed amount of cash issued in connection with the initial public offering of the Company to employees in certain jurisdictions, and each right to receive previously accrued but not yet paid cash dividends or distributions in respect of Company Awards, Class A Units, or Management Incentive Units of OpCo LLC Company will be assumed, honored, or continued in accordance with its terms defined in the Merger Agreement.

If the Merger is consummated, the Company Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Closing Conditions

The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) is subject to certain Closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by a majority of the holders of the outstanding shares of Company Stock, (ii) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the expiration of applicable waiting periods or approval under other certain antitrust laws, (iii) the absence of an order, injunction or law prohibiting the Merger, (iv) at least 60 days having elapsed since the Company’s submission of the notification to the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls pursuant to Section 122.4(b) of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, (v) clearance of the Merger by the interagency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, (vi) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, (vii) compliance in all material respects with the other party’s obligations under the Merger Agreement and (viii) no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement that is continuing.
