Item 8.01

Other Events.

On December 9, 2014, Upland Software, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its agreement to acquire Mobile Commons, Inc. (“Mobile Commons”), a cloud-based mobile messaging software provider. The Company expects the Mobile Commons product to generate approximately $6.0 million in revenue in 2015, subject to reductions for a deferred revenue discount as a result of GAAP purchase accounting. The purchase price consideration expected to be paid in the transaction is approximately $5.1 million in cash payable at closing (net of $0.2 million of cash acquired), $0.7 million cash payable to escrow at closing to be held for eighteen (18) months (subject to indemnification claims by the Company), and approximately 390,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (of which approximately 45,000 shares are expected to be held in escrow for eighteen (18) months and subject to indemnification claims by the Company). The foregoing excludes any potential future earn-out payments tied to additional performance-based goals.

This report contains forward-looking statements, subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are based on the Company’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to its management team. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s and Mobile Commons’ expected, possible or assumed future results of operations and growth and the addition of Mobile Commons to the Company’s family.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to the following: (a) risks related to the anticipated future benefits resulting from the acquisition of Mobile Commons; (b) the Company’s ability to react to trends and challenges in our business and the markets in which we operate; (c) the adoption rate of the Company’s products; (d) the Company’s ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with our customers; (e) general political, economic and market conditions and events; (f) difficulties encountered in integrating the Company’s and Mobile Commons’ businesses and technologies; and (h) other risks and uncertainties described more fully in the Company’s documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
