Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 7, 2014, Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Evolv Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Evolv”), Data Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and certain other parties, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Evolv, which will continue to exist as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire Evolv for aggregate consideration of approximately $42.5 million, subject to certain customary adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Company will assume up to $2 million in debt and grant certain employees of Evolv restricted stock units covering up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary vesting requirements.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Evolv.
