As described in response to Item 4, the shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates have not been purchased by the Reporting Persons as of the date of this filing, and thus no funds were used for this purpose.

Equity financing is also available in the form of cash to be contributed to Parent by (i) the Insight IX Funds, the Insight X Funds, and the Insight GBC Funds and (ii) Elliot International, L.P. and Elliot Associates, L.P.).
As a condition to Parents and Purchasers willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser entered into six (6) Tender and Support Agreements (as defined below) with each of (i) Altai Capital Management, LLC (Altai), (ii) James Preuninger, (iii) Rudy Howard, (iv) Barry Williams, (v) Pamela Craven and (vi) Ralph Faison (clauses (i) through (vi) collectively, the Supporting Stockholders). Pursuant to the Tender and Support Agreements, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to tender, and not withdraw, the Subject Shares (as defined below). None of the Reporting Persons or Amber Road paid additional consideration to the Supporting Stockholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Tender and Support Agreements.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Merger Agreement and Tender Offer
On May 12, 2019, Parent, Purchaser, and solely for purposes of Section 9.17 thereof, E2open entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Amber Road, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2019, and is incorporated by reference in its entirety as Exhibit 99.2 (the Merger Agreement). Under the Merger Agreement, among other things, Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the Offer) to purchase all of the Common Stock, at a price per share of $13.05 in cash, without interest, and subject to withholding of applicable taxes (the Offer Price). Upon successful completion of the Offer, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will be merged with and into Amber Road (the Merger), and Amber Road will survive the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of E2open and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with no stockholder vote required to consummate the Merger.
Tender and Support Agreements
In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser entered into Tender and Support Agreements, dated as of May 12, 2019 (the Tender and Support Agreements), with the Supporting Stockholders. Pursuant to the Tender and Support Agreements, the Supporting Stockholders agreed, subject to certain limited specified exceptions, to tender, and not withdraw, all outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, or acquired by them after such date (collectively, the Subject Shares). In addition, the Supporting Stockholders have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, to refrain from disposing of the Subject Shares and soliciting alternative acquisition proposals to the Merger. The Tender and Support Agreements will automatically terminate upon certain circumstances, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement.
Based upon the Tender and Support Agreements as of May 12, 2019, the Subject Shares included: (i) 2,464,916 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Altai Capital Management, LLC, (ii) 3,256,129 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by James Preuninger, (iii) 149,733 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Rudy Howard, (iv) 90,170 Shares of Common Stick beneficially owned by Barry Williams (v) 79,573 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Pamela Craven, and (vi) 28,690 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Ralph Faison.
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired shared voting and disposition power with respect to the Subject Shares by reason of the execution and delivery of the Tender and Support Agreements by Parent and Purchaser.
The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Support Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. The Merger Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 13, 2019, and is incorporated by reference in its entirety as Exhibit 99.2. The Tender Support Agreements are each attached hereto as Exhibits 99.3, 99.4, 99.5, 99.6, 99.7, and 99.8 to this Statement and incorporated by referenced herein.
The primary purpose of the transactions described above is for Parent, through Purchaser, to acquire all of the outstanding common shares in Amber Road . Parent required that the Supporting Stockholders agree to enter into the Tender and Support Agreements to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, Amber Road will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, the Common Stock will cease to be freely traded or listed, the Common Stock will be de-registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Parent will control the board of directors of Amber Road and will make such other changes in the charter, bylaws, capitalization, management and business of Amber Road as set forth in the Merger Agreement and/or as may be appropriate in its judgment (subject to certain limitations).
Except as set forth in this Statement or as contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Tender and Support Agreements, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Scheduled Persons has any present plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the transactions described in Item 4 of this Statement.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
(a) | Collectively, the Supporting Stockholders beneficially own 6,069,211 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, therefore may, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Tender and Support Agreements, be deemed to share beneficial ownership of 6,069,211 shares of Common Stock, which would represent 21.3% of the Common Stock, issued and outstanding as of May 10, 2019 as disclosed in the Merger Agreement. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim such beneficial ownership, and nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons as to the beneficial ownership of such shares. To the Reporting Persons knowledge, no shares of Common Stock are beneficially owned by any Scheduled Person. |
(b) | The Reporting Persons, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Tender and Support Agreements, may be deemed to have shared dispositive power with the Supporting Stockholders with respect to 6,069,211 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 21.3% of the Common Stock, issued and outstanding as of May 10, 2019, as disclosed in the Merger Agreement. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person or any of its affiliates is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose. The Reporting Persons (i) are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Amber Road as to the Subject Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Tender and Support Agreements, and (ii) have no power to vote, direct the voting of, dispose of, or direct the disposal of, any shares of Common Stock other than the power provided pursuant to the Tender and Support Agreements. |
(c) | Except as described in this Statement (including the schedules to this Statement), during the last sixty (60) days, there were no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons. |
(d) | Except as set forth in this Item 5 and for persons referred to in Item 2 above, no person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. |
(e) | Not applicable. |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein, with respect to the joint filing of this Statement and any amendments thereto.
The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Items 3 through 5 of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6. Except as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, undertakings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 above (or any Scheduled Person) or between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company.
