Introductory Note.

As previously disclosed on May 6, 2015 in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Borderfree, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company is party to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Pitney Bowes Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and BrickBreaker Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”).


Item 1.02  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 10, 2015, in connection with the Merger (defined below), the Company terminated the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2014, with Silicon Valley Bank.


Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 12, 2015, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Shares”), for $14.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 12, 2015 (as amended or supplemented), and the related Letter of Transmittal.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 9, 2015 (the “Expiration Date”), (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time on June 9, 2015), as scheduled, and was not extended. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer, advised Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 30,775,882 Shares had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 95% of the outstanding Shares. As a result, Purchaser accepted for payment (such time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”) all such Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Date, and payment for such Shares has been made to the depositary, which will act as agent for tendering stockholders for the purpose of receiving payments for tendered Shares and transmitting such payments to tendering stockholders whose Shares have been accepted for payment, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The depositary also advised Parent and Purchaser that it has received Notices of Guaranteed Delivery with respect to 181,852 additional Shares, representing approximately 0.5% of the outstanding Shares.

On June 10, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Parent. The Merger was effected without a vote or meeting of the Company stockholders pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). At the effective time of the Merger, (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) the Shares accepted by Purchaser in the Offer, (ii) Shares held in the Company’s treasury and (iii) any Shares owned by stockholders who properly exercised any available rights of appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Merger) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all stock options outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested or exercisable or unexercisable, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings) equal to the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the per Share exercise price of such option multiplied by the total number of Shares subject to such options for each stock option, payable in a lump sum no later than the second payroll period after the Effective Time.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all restricted stock units granted under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan RSUs”) outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest), an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings) equal to the product of the Offer Price and the number of Shares underlying such former 2014 Plan RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, payable in a lump sum no later than the second payroll period after the Effective Time.
 
 


 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all restricted stock units granted under the Company’s 2015 Stock Option Inducement Plan (“2015 Plan RSUs”) outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an unvested award representing the opportunity to receive an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings) equal to the product of the Offer Price and the number of Shares underlying such 2015 Plan RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that such award remains subject to the same terms and conditions (including forfeiture and time of payment) as were in effect immediately before the Effective Time.

The aggregate consideration to be paid by Purchaser in the Offer and Merger is approximately $496 million, including payments in respect of options, RSUs and transaction fees and expenses. Parent funded the payment of Shares from available cash on hand.

The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 6, 2015, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.


Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continuing Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As a result of the transactions described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which description is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01, on June 10, 2015, the Company (i) notified the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company also intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.


Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.


Item 5.01 Change in Control of Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

As a result of the completion of the Offer, a change of control of the Company has occurred. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Parent.

The total amount of funds required to purchase all outstanding Shares in the Offer and to provide funding in connection with the Merger is approximately $496 million, including payments in respect of options, RSUs and transaction fees and expenses. Parent funded the payment of Shares from available cash on hand.


Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements to Certain Officers.

In connection with the Merger, each of William G. Bock, Daniel T. Ciporin, Michael A. DeSimone, Stephen J. Getsy, Isaac Hillel, Beth M. Pritchard, George H. Spencer, III and Ofer Timor resigned as directors of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and from all committees of the Board on which such directors served, effective as of the Effective Time. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time, which consisted of Steven J. Green, Barret S. Johnson and Debbie D. Salce, became the directors of the Company immediately after the Effective Time. Biographical and other information with respect to the new directors of the Company is set forth in Annex I to the Offer to Purchase, dated May 12, 2015 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC by Parent on May 12, 2015 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto), which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
 


 
Immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger, Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ed Neumann, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President and Treasurer, ceased to serve in such roles, and the Board appointed Lila Snyder as President of the Company and Debbie D. Salce as Vice President and Treasurer of the Company.

Lila Snyder, 42, is President, Global ECommerce at Pitney Bowes Inc. In this role, she is responsible for the company’s overall ecommerce business and strategy. Prior to this role she was President, Document Messaging Technologies at Pitney Bowes Inc. Until October 2013, she was at McKinsey & Company, Inc. In this role, she was the leader of McKinsey’s Stamford office and focused on serving clients in the technology, media and communications sectors.


Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and its bylaws, as amended, were each amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

SECTION 8.01.  Indemnification.  (a)  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any corporation which consolidates or merges with or into the Corporation and which if its separate existence had continued would have had power and authority to indemnify such person (a “Predecessor”), or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or any Predecessor as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or its Predecessor, as applicable, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or its Predecessor, as applicable, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 

 
(b)  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation or any Predecessor, as applicable, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any Predecessor, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or its Processor, as applicable, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or any Predecessor, as applicable, and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation or any Predecessor unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
 

 
(c)  To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation or any Predecessor has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
(d)  The Corporation shall pay for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the Corporation or any Predecessor in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this section. The Corporation shall also pay for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the Corporation or any Predecessor or by persons serving at the request of the Corporation or any Predecessor, as applicable, as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions.
 

 
(e)  The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any director, officer, employee or agent may be entitled or of any power of the Corporation apart from the provisions of this Section 8.01.
SECTION 8.02.  Insurance for Indemnification.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the indemnification of the Corporation and the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation to the full extent and in the manner permitted by the applicable laws of the United States and the State of Delaware from time to time in effect.
