Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Merger Agreement
On January 15, 2018, the Issuer entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement provides, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, that Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the Merger), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger Agreement provides that Parent will acquire all of the Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than Shares owned by the Issuer, Parent, Merger Sub, any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and Shares owned by stockholders of the Issuer who have perfected and do not withdraw a demand for, or lose their right to, appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware at a price of $45.25 per Share in cash, without interest. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions including, among others, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon at a stockholders meeting duly called and held for such purpose, (ii) the expiration or earlier termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended and (iii) the receipt of certain consents and approvals and the expiration or earlier termination of related statutory waiting periods.
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Issuer will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of between $81.7 million and $109 million. The Merger Agreement further provides that Parent will be required to pay the Issuer a termination fee of $136.2 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances.
It is anticipated that the financing for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will consist of (i) equity financing to be contributed to Parent by SLP Fund and its affiliates in the form of cash, (ii) equity financing to be contributed to Parent by P2 Master Fund I in the form of cash and/or Shares, and (iii) debt financing arranged by Parent.
Voting and Support Agreement
On January 15, 2018, the P2 Manager, the P2 Funds, Parent and Merger Sub entered a Voting and Support Agreement (the Voting and Support Agreement). The Voting and Support Agreement contemplates, among other things, that the P2 Funds will vote the Shares over which they have voting power (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and in favor of any other matter submitted to the Issuers stockholders necessary to consummate the Merger; and
(ii) against a change in the Issuers board of directors, against alternative acquisition proposals, and against any other proposal or action that would constitute a breach of the Merger Agreement or prevent, frustrate, impede, interfere with, materially delay or adversely affect the Merger or other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, under the terms of the Voting and Support Agreement, each of the P2 Funds irrevocably granted to Parent a proxy to attend any meeting of the Issuers shareholders on behalf of such P2 Fund with respect to the matters set forth above and to vote the Shares over which such P2 Fund has voting power in connection with any such meeting.
The P2 Funds also agreed, under the Voting and Support Agreement not to (i) grant or create any lien, other than permitted liens, on any of such Funds Shares, (ii) transfer, sell, assign, tender, gift, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to (collectively, Transfer), any of such Funds Shares, (iii) enter into any contract with respect to any Transfer of such Funds Shares, (iv) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any of such Funds Shares, (v) deposit or permit the deposit of any of such Funds Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement, commitment or understanding with respect to any of such Shares or (vi) take or permit any other action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially restrict, disable or delay the consummation by the P2 Funds and the P2 Manager of the transactions contemplated by the Voting and Support Agreement or otherwise adversely impact the P2 Funds and the P2 Managers ability to perform its obligations thereunder in any material respect. The P2 Funds also agreed to waive their appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.
The Voting and Support Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation of the Merger, the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or the mutual written consent of the parties.
The foregoing summary and information disclosed in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Voting and Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit hereto and which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4, and the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 16, 2018 and which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.
The Reporting Persons review on a continuing basis the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Voting and Support Agreement. Based on such review, the Reporting Persons may exercise their rights under those agreements and/or the other agreements described in Item 6 of this Statement on Schedule 13D, including to terminate, amend or modify any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and/or may acquire, or cause to be acquired, beneficial interests in securities of the Issuer at any time, or formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of the investment policies of the Reporting Persons, the Issuers business, financial condition and operating results, general market and industry conditions or other factors. Other than as described in this Item 4, and except as otherwise disclosed herein or in agreements described in this Statement on Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Statement on Schedule 13D. However, as part of the ongoing evaluation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Voting and Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons may at any time review or reconsider their respective positions with respect to the Issuer and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of such matters and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Issuers board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters. There can be no assurance that the possible courses of action expressed in this Item 4 will be consummated by the Reporting Persons.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Statement on Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 4 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.
(a) and (b): Immediately prior to the execution of the Voting and Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons did not beneficially own any Shares. However, upon execution of the Voting and Support Agreement as of January 15, 2018, under the definition of beneficial ownership as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), each Reporting Person may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to (and therefore beneficially own) 3,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 5.4% of the outstanding Shares (based on 55,824,265 Shares outstanding, which is the number of Shares represented by the Issuer within the Merger Agreement to be outstanding as of the close of business on January 12, 2018). Accordingly, the percentage of the outstanding Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is approximately 5.4%.
Except as set forth above, no Reporting Person beneficially owns any Shares. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any Shares. Neither the filing of this Statement on Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
Information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Shares by the individuals listed in Annex A is set forth in Annex A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 5.
(c) Except as set forth in this Statement on Schedule 13D, no Reporting Person has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in any Shares.
(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person, other than the P2 Funds and their controlling persons has the right to receive or power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares covered by this Statement on Schedule 13D.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, and Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The information set forth in Items 4 and 5 above is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
Equity Commitment Letter and Limited Guarantee
On January 15, 2018, SLP Fund entered into an equity commitment letter with Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the SLP Equity Commitment Letter). Under the SLP Equity Commitment Letter, SLP Fund agreed, among other things, to contribute to Parent, subject to certain conditions, an aggregate of $1,727,000,000 in cash in exchange for a portion of the equity of Parent.
On January 15, 2018, SLP Fund and P2 Master Fund I each provided the Issuer with a limited guarantee in favor of the Issuer, which guarantees the payment of certain monetary obligations that may be owed by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including any reverse termination fee that may become payable by Parent.
Participation Agreement
On January 15, 2018, the P2 Manager, on behalf of itself and the P2 Funds, Silver Lake Management Company V, LLC (SLMC), on behalf of itself and the funds managed by it, and Parent entered a Participation Agreement (the Participation Agreement). The Participation Agreement contemplates, among other things, that the P2 Funds agree to contribute a number of Shares (valued on a per Share basis at the price paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions under the Merger Agreement) that, together with contributed cash, equals at least $30 million.
The Participation Agreement also provides that, for the two (2) month period following the signing of the Merger Agreement, the P2 Manager shall have the right to seek potential investors and to commit additional equity capital to Parent (the P2 Commitment) in an amount up to a maximum of $225 million less the aggregate value of the Shares to be included in the contribution. The per share price of each share of Parent acquired by the P2 Funds in respect of the P2 Commitment shall equal the same per share price of such shares of Parent paid by the funds managed by SLMC.
