The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Everbridge, with Everbridge continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Thoma Bravo Fund. The Board determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Everbridge and its stockholders, and have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Board also resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company vote to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger. Also on February 29, 2024, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Thoma Bravo Fund delivered to Everbridge an equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which the Thoma Bravo Fund has committed to invest in Parent the cash amounts set forth therein for the purpose of funding up to the full amount of the aggregate merger consideration payable therein. Everbridge is a third party beneficiary of the Equity Commitment Letter and is entitled to enforce the investment commitment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Everbridge, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions, including shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of Everbridge who have not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and have properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will automatically be converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”), subject to applicable withholding taxes. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock that is vested at the Effective Time, or that vests as a result of the Merger at the Effective Time, will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such vested option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Price over (B) the exercise price per share of such vested option, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock that is unvested at the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive from Parent or Everbridge an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Price over (B) the exercise price per share of such unvested option, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding taxes, which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such unvested options immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any option to purchase shares of Common Stock, vested or unvested, that has an exercise price per share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Price will be automatically cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units subject to time-based vesting (a “Company RSU”) that is vested at the Effective Time (but not yet settled), or that vests as a result of the Merger at the Effective Time, will automatically be cancelled and converted solely into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such vested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Each Company RSU that is unvested at the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive from Parent or Everbridge an aggregate amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested Company RSU prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding taxes, which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the terms rendered inoperable by the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will no longer have any force or effect. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units subject to vesting on the basis of time and the achievement of performance targets (a “Company PSU”) that is vested or vests at the Effective Time (but not yet settled) will automatically be cancelled and converted solely into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such vested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Each Company PSU that is unvested at the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive from Parent or Everbridge an aggregate amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested Company PSU prior to the Effective Time based on the number of shares that such unvested Company PSU would settle for at target achievement of the applicable performance metrics, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding taxes (a “Converted PSU Cash Award”), which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such unvested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that in lieu of vesting based on performance metrics, 50% of each Converted PSU Cash Award will instead vest at target achievement at the end of the fiscal quarter which ends immediately after the second anniversary of the date of grant, and 50% of each Converted PSU Cash Award will vest at target achievement at the end of the fiscal quarter which ends immediately after the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject in each case to continuous service through the applicable vesting date(s), and provided that terms rendered inoperable by the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will no longer have any force or effect. Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of specified regulatory approvals and the absence of an order or law preventing the Merger. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of Everbridge, Parent and Merger Sub, including, among others, covenants by Everbridge regarding the conduct of its business prior to the closing of the Merger. Following the date of the Merger Agreement, Everbridge is subject to customary restrictions on its ability (and the ability of its subsidiaries and representatives) to (1) solicit, initiate, propose or induce the making or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, (2) subject to certain exceptions, provide nonpublic information relating to Everbridge or any of its subsidiaries to third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals or (3) engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. In addition, Everbridge has agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, the Board will not withdraw its recommendation that the stockholders of the Company vote to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger. Either Everbridge or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if (1) the Effective Time has not occurred by August 4, 2024, which may be extended to November 4, 2024 if certain closing conditions related to the receipt of required regulatory approvals have not been satisfied at such time, (2) a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final non-appealable governmental order preventing the Merger or (3) the stockholders of the Company fail to adopt the Merger Agreement. Everbridge may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain additional limited circumstances, including to allow Everbridge to enter into an agreement providing for an alternative acquisition transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain additional limited circumstances, including if the Board withdraws its recommendation that the stockholders of the Company vote to adopt the Merger Agreement. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, Everbridge will be required to pay Parent a termination fee (the “Company Termination Fee”) of $50,000,000. Specifically, the Company Termination Fee is payable if (1) the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances; (2) prior to such termination (but after the date of the Merger Agreement) a proposal for an alternative acquisition transaction has been publicly announced or disclosed and not withdrawn; and (3) within one year of such termination, Everbridge subsequently consummates an alternative acquisition transaction or enters into a definitive agreement providing for an alternative acquisition transaction and such transaction is ultimately consummated. The Company Termination Fee will also be payable in certain circumstances if the Merger Agreement is terminated: (1) by Parent because the Board withdraws its recommendation that the stockholders of the Company vote to adopt the Merger Agreement; or (2) by Everbridge in order to enter into an agreement providing for an alternative acquisition transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, Parent will be required to pay Everbridge a termination fee (the “Parent Termination Fee”) of $124,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. The Merger Agreement also provides that Everbridge, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, may specifically enforce the obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the obligation to consummate the Merger if the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement are satisfied. Subject to limited exceptions, in the event the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s aggregate liability for monetary damages for breaches of the Merger Agreement are capped at $124,000,000 plus Reimbursement Obligations (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and the Company’s liability for monetary damages for breaches of the Merger Agreement are capped at the Company Termination Fee plus any Enforcement Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
