The acquisition of the shares as indicated herein was effected in the ordinary course of business because of the belief that the shares represent an attractive investment.

Such acquisitions may be made by means of open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, direct acquisitions from the Issuer, or otherwise. The Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, and depending upon the price and availability of shares of the Issuer’s capital stock, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time to increase or to decrease the size of their investment in the Issuer, including by distributing shares pro rata to the beneficial owners of one or more of the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons.

In addition, the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons will routinely monitor the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and any proposals received from third parties with respect to the Issuer. The Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with management or directors of the Issuer, existing or potential strategic partners, persons who have expressed an interest in acquiring all or a portion of the Issuer’s equity interests, sources of credit and other investors. In evaluating the Issuer, the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons will also consider alternative investment opportunities available to them, the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons’ liquidity requirements and other investment considerations.

The factors described in the preceding paragraphs may materially affect, and result in, the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons proposing changes to the Issuer’s operations, governance or capitalization or proposing one or more of the other actions described in this Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of their investment in the Issuer in privately negotiated transactions. The Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing as to the Issuer.

Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Warburg Pincus Investors are entitled to designate up to (i) four directors for election to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) for so long as the Warburg Pincus Investors hold an aggregate total of at least 32,339,279 shares of Common Stock, (ii) three directors for election to the Board for so long as the Warburg Pincus Investors hold an aggregate total of at least 16,169,640 shares of Common Stock and (iii) one director for election to the Board for so long as the Warburg Pincus Investors hold an aggregate total of at least 8,084,820 shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Goldman Sachs Investors are entitled to designate up to one director to the Board for so long as the Goldman Sachs Investors hold an aggregate total of at least 5,213,194 shares of Common Stock (based on the information available at the time of the filing of this Statement). For so long as the Warburg Pincus Investors are entitled to designate at least three directors to the Board, the directors designated by the Warburg Pincus Investors will be entitled to designate the chairman of the Board. Any director designated by either the Warburg Pincus Investors or Goldman Sachs Investors may be removed with or without cause only by the Warburg Pincus Investors or Goldman Sachs Investors, respectively.

 

18


Transfer Restrictions. Until December 22, 2016, and except for transfers to permitted transferees, any transfer of shares of Common Stock by either the Warburg Pincus Investors or the Goldman Sachs Investors will require the prior written consent of each of the Warburg Pincus Investors or Goldman Sachs Investors that have the right to designate at least one director for election to the Board.

Approval Rights. For so long as the Warburg Pincus Investors have the right to designate at least three directors for election to the Board, in addition to any other vote required by applicable law, certain actions required or permitted to be taken by the Issuer’s stockholders and certain specified corporate transactions may be effected only with the affirmative vote of 75% of the Board, including but not limited to acquisitions or business combination transactions involving any other entity with an enterprise value in excess of $200 million in the aggregate; mergers or other business combinations or other transactions involving a sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s and the Issuer’s subsidiaries’ assets or a “change in control” under the Issuer’s indebtedness documents and issuance of additional shares of the Issuer’s or the Issuer’s subsidiaries’ capital stock, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Warburg Pincus Investors and the Goldman Sachs Investors hold an aggregate total of 67,732,391 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (approximately 48.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer), including 15,378,735 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that are publicly reported as being owned by the Goldman Sachs Investors. The Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons are not entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Issuer with respect to the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Other Investors except as expressly set forth in the Stockholders Agreement. Each Warburg Pincus Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with respect to any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer other than the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned of record by such Warburg Pincus Reporting Person. The number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by each Warburg Pincus Reporting Person as set forth in Rows 7 – 13 of their respective cover pages to this Schedule 13D does not include the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the Goldman Sachs Investors or any Other Investors. The Stockholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The aggregate total of 15,378,735 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer indicated in this Schedule 13D as being beneficially owned by the Goldman Sachs Investors is derived from the Goldman Sachs Investors’ Schedule 13G/A, filed with the Commission on February 16, 2016, and is not purported to be an accurate representation of the Goldman Sachs Investors’ beneficial ownership as of the date of this Schedule 13D. The Goldman Sachs Investors are responsible for reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on their own behalf, and the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons disclaim responsibility for reporting the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Goldman Sachs Investors.

The last paragraph of the response set forth in Item 4 hereof is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons have entered into an agreement on September 27, 2016, with respect to the joint filing of this Statement and any amendment or amendments hereto (the “Joint Filing Agreement”). The Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Except as referenced above or described in Item 4 hereof, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.

Rule 10b5-1 Purchase Plan

September 13, 2016

Craig Wiele

Managing Director, Equity Capital Markets

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC

11 Madison Avenue, 3rd Floor

New York, NY 10010

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This plan (the “Plan”) will confirm the agreement between Warburg Pincus Private Equity X, L.P. and Warburg Pincus X Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Client”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) pursuant to which Credit Suisse has been appointed by the Client to purchase shares of Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer”) named in Exhibit A (the “Shares”). This Plan is being established by the Client and is intended to qualify for the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1 (“Rule 10b5-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)

 

  1. This Plan shall become effective on the date hereof and shall end on the earliest to occur of the following dates: (i) the date on which the aggregate number of the Shares purchased by Credit Suisse in accordance with this Plan equals the Maximum Value of Shares specified in Exhibit A hereto; (ii) the date on which any voluntary or involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief against the Client under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other similar official, or the taking of any corporate action by the Client to authorize or commence any of the foregoing; (iii) in accordance with Section 5(a), the end of the business day (unless another time is specified in writing) following the date of receipt by Credit Suisse of notice of early termination substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto; (iv) the end of the business day (unless another time is specified in writing) following the date of receipt by the Client of a notice of termination by Credit Suisse for failure of the Client to perform its payment obligations under the Plan and (v) the end of the business day on the Termination Date specified in Exhibit A hereto. The Client will provide Credit Suisse with immediate notice should an event under subsection (ii) of this paragraph occur.

 

  2. Credit Suisse shall purchase Shares on each day on which The NASDAQ Global Select Market is open for trading and the Shares trade regular way on such exchange commencing on the date specified and as per instructions set forth in Exhibit A.

 

  3. The Client hereby covenants and agrees that it will not take any action that would result in any purchases of Shares by Credit Suisse hereunder to fail to be in accordance with Rule 10b5-1.

 

  4. The Client understands and agrees that all purchases of Shares under the Plan will be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 10b-18.

 

  5. (a) The Client reserves the right to terminate this Plan or the appointment of Credit Suisse hereunder at any time by giving one business day’s (defined as a day on which the primary stock exchange or quotation system on which the Shares are listed or quoted is open) advance written notice to Credit Suisse in accordance with Exhibit B.


(b) The Client acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything in paragraph 5(a) herein to the contrary, any suspension, termination or amendment of this Plan by the Client must comply with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c).

 

  6. It is the intent of the parties that this Plan comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) and this Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

 

  7. As of the date of this Plan, the Client is not aware of any material nonpublic information regarding the Issuer or the Shares and is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction or undertaking that would prevent Credit Suisse from acting upon the instructions set forth in this Plan. The Client shall immediately notify Credit Suisse if it becomes aware of a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction or undertaking that would prevent Credit Suisse from making purchases pursuant to this Plan.

 

  8. The Client is entering into this Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 or any other United States federal securities laws.

 

  9. The Client will not, while this Plan remains in effect, alter or deviate from the terms of this Plan, and it has not entered into, and will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares (including with respect to any securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares).

 

  10. The Client is not entering into this Plan (i) to manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares) or (ii) for any other purpose in violation of applicable federal or state law.

 

  11. Until the termination of this Plan, the Client agrees not to discuss with Credit Suisse’s Monetization Services Group, which is responsible for purchases under this Plan, or any other Credit Suisse trading personnel, the Issuer’s business, operations or prospects or any other information likely to affect the value of the Shares. Notwithstanding the above, the Client may communicate with Credit Suisse personnel who are not trading personnel and who are not responsible for, and have no ability to influence, the execution of this Plan, provided that no such communication may relate to this Plan or to the activities of Credit Suisse hereunder.

Subject to the terms set forth in this Plan, Credit Suisse shall have full discretion with respect to the execution of all purchases, and the Client acknowledges and agrees that it does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect such purchases of Shares pursuant to this Plan.

 

  12. Credit Suisse agrees to provide the Client with reports of all purchases made pursuant to this Plan within one day of the execution of any such purchase. Such reports and confirmations may be in the form of electronic mail, facsimile or other written correspondence.

 

  13. This Plan (i) has been duly authorized by the Client; (ii) is a valid and binding agreement of the Client, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (iii) is not, to the Client’s knowledge, prohibited or restricted by any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction or undertaking binding on the Client or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their property or assets.


  14. The Client has consulted its own advisors as to legal, tax, business, financial and other relevant aspects of, and has not relied upon Credit Suisse in connection with, the Client’s adoption of this Plan, and the Client acknowledges that Credit Suisse is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for the Client. Except as specifically contemplated herein, the Client shall be solely responsible for compliance with all statutes, rules and regulations applicable to the Client and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, reporting and filing requirements.

 

  15. The Client understands that, while the Credit Suisse Monetization Services Group is executing transactions on behalf of the Client pursuant to this Plan, other desks at Credit Suisse that are not participating in such transactions and are unaware of Client purchases may continue to make a market in the Shares or other securities of the Issuer or otherwise trade the Shares or such other securities for Credit Suisse’s own account or to facilitate customer transactions. Nothing herein shall preclude the purchase or sale by Credit Suisse of Shares or other securities of the Issuer for its own account or its solicitation or execution of orders for the account of any client. Credit Suisse hereby represents and warrants that it has implemented reasonable policies and procedures, taking into consideration the nature of Credit Suisse’s business, to ensure that individuals making investment decisions will not violate the laws prohibiting trading on the basis of material, nonpublic information.

 

  16. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such State’s conflict of laws rules to the extent such rules may result in the application of the law of any other state or jurisdiction.

 

  17.
