Note 1. Basis of presentation and description of business
Description of business
Jamf Holding Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively, are referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.” We are the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, and our cloud software platform is the only vertically-focused Apple infrastructure and security platform of scale in the world. We help organizations connect, manage and protect Apple products, apps and corporate resources in the cloud without ever having to touch the devices. With our products, Apple devices can be deployed to employees brand new in the shrink-wrapped box, automatically set up and personalized at first power-on and continuously administered throughout the life of the device. Our customers are located throughout the world.
Vista Equity Partners acquisition
On November 13, 2017, Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”) acquired a majority share of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the purchase price of $
Emerging growth company status
We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
We will remain an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”), unless one of the following occurs: (i) our total annual gross revenue is at least $1.07 billion, (ii) we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three year period, or (iii) we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.
Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current presentation. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company reclassified on-premise subscription revenue from license revenue to subscription revenue in the consolidated statements of operations on a retroactive basis. The amount reclassified for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future period.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, commissions, goodwill and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment and geographic information

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Financial Instruments — Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019-10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016-13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides entities with temporary

optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations related to their leasing arrangements. The update requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, with the exception of short-term leases if a policy election is made, while recognizing lease expense on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also requires entities to disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about its leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new lease standard on January 1, 2021 using the optional transition method to the modified retrospective approach. Under this transition provision, results for reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2021 are presented under ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) while prior period amounts continue to be reported and disclosed in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting treatment under ASC Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”).
To reduce the burden of adoption and ongoing compliance with ASC 842, a number of practical expedients and policy elections are available under the new guidance. The Company elected the
The Company made an accounting policy election under ASC 842 not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less. For all other leases, the Company recognizes ROU assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease (or January 1, 2021 for existing leases upon the adoption of ASC 842). The ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives.
Future lease payments may include fixed rent escalation clauses or payments that depend on an index (such as the consumer price index). Subsequent changes to an index and other periodic market-rate adjustments to base rent are recorded in variable lease expense in the period incurred.
The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for lease and non-lease components in its contracts as a
The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments as the Company’s leases do not have a readily determinable implicit discount rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount in a similar economic environment. Judgement is applied in assessing factors such as Company specific credit risk, lease term, nature and quality of the underlying collateral, currency and economic environment in determining the incremental borrowing rate to apply to each lease.

Upon adoption, the Company recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $
Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Among other changes, the standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. As a result, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless the instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. In addition, the amendments also require the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments when calculating diluted earnings per share. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Financial instruments fair value
We report financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company invests in money market funds and U.S. Treasuries with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less, which are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Money market funds are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets and classified within Level 1 of the fair value

Note 4. Acquisitions
cmdReporter
On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with cmdSecurity Inc. (“cmdSecurity”) to acquire certain cmdSecurity assets, including cmdReporter, a suite of security and compliance tools purpose-built for macOS. With cmdReporter, the Company will further extend the security capabilities of its expansive Apple Enterprise Management platform. cmdSecurity’s software complements the Company’s existing product offerings. The Company accounted for the acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The final aggregate purchase price was approximately $
At the time of the acquisition, the contingent consideration was valued at $
Substantially all of the purchase price consideration related to the fair value of the acquired separately identifiable intangibles assets, which related to acquired developed technology and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”). The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was estimated using the replacement cost method, whereby the components of the acquired intangibles were reviewed to determine the cumulative cost of development for each component, inclusive of a developer’s profit and an entrepreneurial incentive. The cumulative cost of development was not discounted to account for obsolescence factor as the replacement cost accounted for present day development. The developed technology will be amortized over its estimated weighted-average useful life, which was determined to be
13
5.0 years. The IPR&D is an indefinite lived intangible asset that is not amortized, but will be evaluated at least annually for impairment. For more details on the intangible assets, see Note 5.

Note 6. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to and the agreement creates enforceable rights and obligations. Under ASC 842, a contract is or contains a lease when (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract and (ii) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company also considers whether its service arrangements include the right to control the use of an asset. See Note 2 for more information on the Company’s accounting policies for leases.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because we have reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share because the potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation.
The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to losses reported:

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We are the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, and our cloud software platform is the only vertically-focused Apple infrastructure and security platform of scale in the world. We help organizations, including businesses, hospitals, schools and government agencies, connect, manage and protect Apple products, apps and corporate resources in the cloud without ever having to touch the devices. With Jamf’s software, Apple devices can be deployed to employees brand new in the shrink-wrapped box, set up automatically and personalized at first power-on and administered continuously throughout the life of the device.
Jamf was founded in 2002, around the same time that Apple was leading an industry transformation. Apple transformed the way people access and utilize technology through its focus on creating a superior consumer experience. With the release of revolutionary products like the Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad, Apple built the world’s most valuable brand and became ubiquitous in everyday life.
We have built our company through a singular focus on being the primary solution for Apple in the enterprise. Through our long-standing relationship with Apple, we have accumulated significant Apple technical experience and expertise that give us the ability to fully and quickly leverage and extend the capabilities of Apple products, operating systems and services. This expertise enables us to fully support new innovations and operating system releases the moment they are made available by Apple. This focus has allowed us to create a best-in-class user experience for Apple in the enterprise.
We sell our SaaS solutions via a subscription model, through a direct sales force, online and indirectly via our channel partners, including Apple. Our multi-dimensional go-to-market model and cloud-deployed offering enable us to reach all organizations around the world, large and small, with our software solutions. As a result, we continue to see rapid growth and expansion of our customer base as Apple continues to gain momentum in the enterprise.
On May 11, 2021, we announced the acquisition of Wandera, a leader in zero trust cloud security and access for mobile devices, extending our leadership in Apple Enterprise Management. See Note 13 for further information on the acquisition. Until close, the companies will continue to operate independently. We currently intend to finance the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing.
Response to COVID-19
With social distancing measures having been implemented to curtail the spread of COVID-19, we enacted a robust business continuity plan, including a global work-from-home policy for all of our employees. We believe our internal cloud-first technology platforms have allowed for a seamless transition to a remote working environment without any material impacts to our business, highlighting the resilience of our business model. Our product portfolio and platform has enabled our commercial customers to continue with their efforts to work remotely, our K-12 and higher-education customers to deliver distance learning and our health-care customers to provide quality care via a telehealth model, a solution that was conceptualized and released during the current pandemic. We believe that a
25
business like ours is well-suited to navigate the current environment in which customers are focused on effectively conducting business remotely, while the underlying demand for our core products remains relatively unchanged.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business will depend on future developments in the United States and around the world, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions required to contain and treat it, among others. Although the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results remains uncertain, a continued and prolonged public health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects” included in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our historical financial performance has been, and we expect our financial performance in the future to be, driven by our ability to:
Attract new customers. Our ability to attract new customers is dependent upon a number of factors, including the effectiveness of our pricing and solutions, the features and pricing of our competitors' offerings, the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, the effectiveness of our channel partners in selling, marketing and deploying our software solutions and the growth of the market for Apple devices and services for SMBs and enterprises. Sustaining our growth requires continued adoption of our platform by new customers. We intend to continue to invest in building brand awareness as we further penetrate our addressable markets. We intend to expand our customer base by continuing to make significant and targeted investments in our direct sales and marketing to attract new customers and to drive broader awareness of our software solutions.
Expand within our customer base. Our ability to increase revenue within our existing customer base is dependent upon a number of factors, including their satisfaction with our software solutions and support, the features and pricing of our competitors’ offerings and our ability to effectively enhance our platform by developing new products and features and addressing additional use cases. Often our customers will begin with a small deployment and then later expand their usage more broadly within the enterprise as they realize the benefits of our platform. We believe that our “land and expand” business model allows us to efficiently increase revenue from our existing customer base. We intend to continue to invest in enhancing awareness of our software solutions, creating additional use cases, and developing more products, features, and functionality, which we believe are important factors to expand usage of our software solutions by our existing customer base. We believe our ability to retain and expand usage of our software solutions by our existing customer base is evidenced by our dollar-based net retention rate.
Sustain product innovation and technology leadership. Our success is dependent on our ability to sustain product innovation and technology leadership in order to maintain our competitive advantage. We believe that we have built a highly differentiated platform and we intend to further extend the adoption of our platform through additional innovation. While sales of subscriptions to our Jamf Pro product account for most of our revenue, we intend to continue to invest in building additional products, features and functionality that expand our capabilities and facilitate the extension of our platform to new use cases. Our future success is dependent on our ability to successfully develop, market and sell additional products to both new and existing customers. For example, in 2018, we introduced Jamf Connect to provide users with a seamless connection to corporate resources using a single identity and in 2019 we introduced Jamf Protect to extend Apple's security and privacy model to enterprise teams by creating unprecedented visibility into MacOS fleets through customized remote monitoring and threat detection and prevention.
Continue investment in growth. Our ability to effectively invest for growth is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to offset anticipated increases in operating expenses with revenue growth, our ability to spend our research and development budget efficiently or effectively on compelling innovation and technologies, our ability to accurately predict costs and our ability to maintain our corporate culture as our headcount expands. We plan to continue investing in our business so we can capitalize on our market opportunity. We intend to grow our sales team to target expansion within our midmarket and enterprise customers and to attract new customers. We expect to continue to
26
make focused investments in marketing to drive brand awareness and enhance the effectiveness of our customer acquisition model. We also intend to continue to add headcount to our research and development team to develop new and improved products, features and functionality. Although these investments may increase our operating expenses and, as a result, adversely affect our operating results in the near term, we believe they will contribute to our long-term growth.
Continue international expansion. Our international growth in any region will depend on our ability to effectively implement our business processes and go-to-market strategy, our ability to adapt to market or cultural differences, the general competitive landscape, our ability to invest in our sales and marketing channels, the maturity and growth trajectory of Apple devices and services by region and our brand awareness and perception. We plan to continue making investments in our international sales and marketing channels to take advantage of this market opportunity while refining our go-to-market approach based on local market dynamics. While we believe global demand for our platform will increase as international market awareness of Jamf grows, our ability to conduct our operations internationally will require considerable management attention and resources and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal and regulatory systems (including with respect to data transfer and privacy), alternative dispute systems and commercial markets. In addition, global demand for our platform and the growth of our international operations is dependent upon the rate of market adoption of Apple products in international markets.
Enhance our offerings via our partner network. Our success is dependent not only on our independent efforts to innovate, scale and reach more customers directly but also on the success of our partners to continue to gain share in the enterprise. With a focus on the user and being the bridge between critical technologies — with Apple and Microsoft as two examples — we feel we can help other market participants deliver more to enterprise users with the power of Jamf. We will continue to invest in the relationships with our existing, critical partners, nurture and develop new relationships and do so globally. We will continue to invest in developing “plus one” solutions and workflows that help tie our software solutions together with those delivered by others.
Key Business Metrics
In addition to our GAAP financial information, we review several operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.
Number of Devices
We believe our ability to grow the number of devices on our software platform provides a key indicator of the growth of our business and our future business opportunities. We define a device at the end of any particular period as a device owned by a customer, which device has at least one Jamf product pursuant to an active subscription or support and maintenance agreement or that has a reasonable probability of renewal. We define a customer at the end of any particular period as an entity with at least one active subscription or support and maintenance agreement as of the measurement date or that has a reasonable probability of renewal. A single organization with separate subsidiaries, segments or divisions that use our platform may represent multiple customers as we treat each entity, subsidiary, segment or division that is invoiced separately as a single customer. In cases where customers subscribe to our platform through our channel partners, each end customer is counted separately. A single customer may have multiple Jamf products on a single device, but we still would only count that as one device.
The number of devices was 21.8 million and 16.3 million as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing a 34% year-over-year growth rate. We have seen particular strength in the growth rate of devices as COVID-19 has accelerated the demand for organizations to connect remotely, manage, and protect their Apple devices.
Annual Recurring Revenue
Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) represents the annualized value of all subscription and support and maintenance contracts as of the end of the period. ARR mitigates fluctuations due to seasonality, contract term and the
27
sales mix of subscriptions for term-based licenses and SaaS. ARR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.
Our ARR was $308.0 million and $224.9 million as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of 37% year-over-year. The growth in our ARR is primarily driven by our high device expansion rates, our new logo acquisition and the upselling and cross selling of products into our installed base.
Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate
To further illustrate the “land and expand” economics of our customer relationships, we examine the rate at which our customers increase their subscriptions for our software solutions. Our dollar-based net retention rate measures our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expanded use of our software solutions, offset by customers whose subscription contracts with us are not renewed or renew at a lower amount.
We calculate dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate.
Our dollar-based net retention rates were 117% and 120% for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our high dollar-based net retention rates are primarily attributable to an expansion of devices. We believe our ability to cross-sell our new solutions to our installed base, particularly Jamf Connect and Jamf Protect, will continue to support our high dollar-based net retention rates.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the non-GAAP measures of Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that do not represent, and should not be considered as, alternatives to gross profit or gross profit margin, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense. We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin as Non-GAAP Gross Profit as a percentage of total revenue.
We use Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. We believe Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin are useful measures to us and to our investors to assist in evaluating our core
28
operating performance because it provides consistency and direct comparability with our past financial performance and between fiscal periods, as the metric eliminates the effects of variability of stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired developed technology, which are non-cash expenses that may fluctuate for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. While the amortization expense of acquired developed technology is excluded from Non-GAAP Gross Profit, the revenue related to acquired developed technology is reflected in Non-GAAP Gross Profit as these assets contribute to our revenue generation.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin should not be considered as replacements for gross profit or gross profit margin, as determined by GAAP, or as measures of our profitability. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes.
A reconciliation of Non-GAAP Gross Profit to gross profit, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows:

Non-GAAP Operating Income
Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that do not represent, and should not be considered as, alternatives to operating loss or operating loss margin, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Non-GAAP Operating Income as operating loss, adjusted for amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expense, acquisition-related earnout, payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation and costs associated with our secondary offerings. In the first quarter of 2021, we began excluding payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP measures as these expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting or exercise. As a result, these taxes may vary in any particular period independent of the financial and operating performance of our business. Payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation were not material prior to the first quarter of 2021. We define Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin as Non-GAAP Operating Income as a percentage of total revenue.
We use Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. We believe that Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin facilitate comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis between periods, and when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, help provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting our results of operations. While the amortization expense of acquired trademarks, customer relationships, and developed technology is excluded from Non-GAAP Operating Income, the revenue related to acquired trademarks, customer relationships, and developed technology is reflected in Non-GAAP Operating Income as these assets contribute to our revenue generation.
Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin should not be considered as replacements for operating loss or operating loss margin, as determined by GAAP, or as measures of our
29
profitability. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) is a supplemental measure of operating performance that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net loss, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net loss, adjusted for amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency transaction loss, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related expense, acquisition-related earnout, costs associated with our secondary offerings, payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, discrete tax items and provision (benefit) for income taxes.
We use Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. We believe that Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) facilitates comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis between periods, and when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, helps provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting our results of operations. While the amortization expense of acquired trademarks, customer relationships, and developed technology is excluded from Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), the revenue related to acquired trademarks, customer relationships, and developed technology is reflected in Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as these assets contribute to our revenue generation.
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

(1) In the first quarter of 2020, the related tax effects of the adjustments to Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) were calculated using the respective statutory tax rate for applicable jurisdictions, which was not materially different from our annual effective tax rate for full year 2020 of approximately 25%. In the first quarter of 2021, our annual effective tax rate was impacted by changes in the domestic valuation allowance. Therefore, we used the annual effective tax rate of (0.5)% in the first quarter of 2021 as this rate was materially different than our statutory rate.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net loss, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted for interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency transaction loss, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related expense, acquisition-related earnout, costs associated with our secondary offerings and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation.
We use Adjusted EBITDA to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis between periods, and when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, helps provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting our results of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a replacement for net loss, as determined by GAAP, or as a measure of our profitability. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We recognize revenue under ASC 606 when or as performance obligations are satisfied. We derive revenue primarily from sales of SaaS subscriptions and support and maintenance contracts, and to a lesser extent, sales of on-premise subscriptions and perpetual licenses and services.
Subscription. Subscription revenue consists of sales of SaaS subscriptions and support and maintenance contracts. We sell our software solutions primarily with a one-year contract term. We typically invoice SaaS subscription fees and support and maintenance fees annually in advance and recognize revenue ratably over the term of the applicable agreement, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we reclassified the license portion of on-premise subscription revenue from license revenue to subscription revenue in the consolidated statements of operations on a retroactive basis. See additional information in “Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Description of Business” to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The license portion of on-premise subscription revenue is recognized upfront, assuming all revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. We expect subscription revenue to increase over time as we expand our customer base because sales to new customers are expected to be primarily SaaS subscriptions.
License. License revenue consists of revenue from on-premise perpetual licenses of our Jamf Pro product sold primarily to existing customers. We recognize license revenue upfront, assuming all revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. We expect license revenue to decrease because sales to new customers are primarily cloud-based subscription arrangements and therefore reflected in subscription revenue.
Services. Services revenues consist primarily of professional services provided to our customers to configure and optimize the use of our software solutions, as well as training services related to the operation of our software solutions. Our services are priced on a fixed fee basis and generally invoiced in advance of the service being delivered. Revenue is recognized as the services are performed. We expect services revenues to decrease as a percentage of total revenue as the demand for our services is not expected to grow at the same rate as the demand for our subscription solutions.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of subscription. Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of employee compensation costs for employees associated with supporting our subscription and support and maintenance arrangements, our customer success
32
function, and third-party hosting fees related to our cloud services. Employee compensation and related costs include cash compensation and benefits to employees and associated overhead costs. We expect cost of subscription revenue to increase in absolute dollars, but to remain relatively consistent as a percentage of subscription revenue, relative to the extent of the growth of our business.
Cost of services. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of employee compensation costs directly associated with delivery of professional services and training, costs of third-party integrators and other associated overhead costs. We expect cost of services revenue to decrease in absolute dollars relative to the decrease of our services business.
Gross Profit
Gross profit, or revenue less cost of revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including the mix of cloud-based subscription customers, the costs associated with supporting our cloud solution, the extent to which we expand our customer support team and the extent to which we can increase the efficiency of our technology and infrastructure though technological improvements. We expect our gross profit to increase in absolute dollars.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs, sales commissions, costs of general marketing and promotional activities, travel-related expenses and allocated overhead. Sales commissions earned by our sales force are deferred and amortized over the period of benefit, which is estimated to be 5 years. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis as we expand our sales personnel and marketing efforts.
Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and allocated overhead. We will continue to invest in innovation so that we can offer our customers new solutions and enhance our existing solutions. See “Business — Research and Development” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. We expect such investment to increase on an absolute dollar basis as our business grows.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs for corporate personnel, such as those in our executive, human resource, facilities, accounting and finance, legal and compliance, and information technology departments. In addition, general and administrative expenses include acquisition-related expenses which primarily consist of third-party expenses, such as legal and accounting fees, and adjustments to contingent consideration. General and administrative expenses also include costs incurred in secondary offerings. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase on a dollar basis as our business grows, particularly as we continue to invest in technology infrastructure and expand our operations globally. Also, we incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and increased expenses for insurance, investor relations and accounting expenses.
Amortization. Amortization expense primarily consists of amortization of acquired trademarks, customer relationships and developed technology.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest payments on our outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities as well as the amortization of associated deferred financing costs. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Facilities.”
33
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss)
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of all our international operations is the U.S. dollar. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are remeasured in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Remeasurement adjustments are recorded as foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations.
Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
Income tax (provision) benefit consists primarily of income taxes related to U.S. federal and state income taxes and income taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business.
Other Income
Other income consists primarily of sublease rental income. The sublease was terminated in the second quarter of 2020.

Total revenue increased by $20.8 million, or 34%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. Overall revenue increased as a result of higher subscription revenue and license revenue. Subscription revenue accounted for 92% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 90% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in subscription revenue was driven by device expansion, the addition of new customers and cross-selling. License revenue increased due to additional licenses for an existing customer, partially offset by shifting customers to our SaaS model as opposed to on-premise perpetual licenses.

Cost of subscription revenue increased $2.8 million, or 30%, primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in employee compensation costs related to higher headcount to support the growth in our subscription customer base, an increase of $1.2 million in third party hosting fees as we increased capacity to support our growth and a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. Cost of services revenue decreased $0.6 million primarily due to lower travel-related costs and costs of third-party integrators.
Total gross margin was 79% and 75% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as our revenue expanded faster than the costs required to deliver the revenue.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 32%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $5.5 million in employee compensation costs driven by headcount growth, a $1.4 million increase in marketing costs, an increase of $0.3 million in computer hardware and software costs to support the growth of the business and a $0.7 million increase in stock-based compensation expense reflecting the IPO grant, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in travel-related expenses reflecting less travel due to COVID-19. Marketing costs increased primarily due to increases in demand generation programs, advertising, and brand awareness campaigns focused on new customer acquisition.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by $3.0 million, or 24%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million in employee compensation costs due to higher headcount, an increase of $0.7 million in outside services and a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expense reflecting the IPO grant, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in travel-related expenses reflecting less travel due to COVID-19.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $4.8 million, or 43%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily
37
due to an increase of $2.8 million in employee compensation costs driven by higher headcount to support our continued growth, $2.0 million in additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, an increase of $0.9 million in computer hardware and software costs to support the growth of the business, a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.3 million increase to contingent consideration, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in acquisition-related expenses and a $1.1 million decrease in travel-related expenses reflecting less travel due to COVID-19. The remainder of the cost increase is primarily related to costs to support the growth in business and headcount.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of March 31, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $196.2 million, which were held for working capital purposes, as well as the available balance of our New Revolving Credit Facility, described in Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and/or U.S. Treasuries with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less. Our positive cash flows from operations enable us to make continued investments in supporting the growth of our business. We expect that our operating cash flows, in addition to our cash and cash equivalents, will enable us to continue to make such investments in the future.
On May 5, 2021, we entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and other commitment parties thereto (the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Parties have committed to provide a 364-day term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the New Credit Agreement. The funding of the term loan facility provided for by the Commitment Letter is contingent on the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the term loan facility in accordance with the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents, our New Revolving Credit Facility and cash provided by sales of our software solutions and services will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and services offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of our products. In the future, we may use cash to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies, including intellectual property rights.
A majority of our customers pay in advance for subscriptions and support and maintenance contracts, a portion of which is recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue consists of the unearned portion of billed fees for our subscriptions, which is later recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of March 31, 2021, we had deferred revenue of $221.6 million, of which $167.9 million was recorded as a current liability and is expected to be recorded as revenue in the next 12 months, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Operating Activities
Our largest source of operating cash is cash collections from our customers for subscriptions. Our primary use of cash from operating activities is for employee-related expenditures, marketing expenses and third-party hosting costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 million reflecting our net loss of $3.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $17.3 million and net cash outflows of $10.2 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, amortization of deferred contract costs, non-cash lease expense, share-based compensation and a $0.3 million adjustment to our Digita earnout, partially offset by the deferred tax benefit. The primary drivers of net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $7.1 million increase in trade accounts receivable due to higher sales and the timing of cash receipts from our customers, a $6.5 million increase in deferred contract costs due to an increase in capitalized contract costs, a $3.3 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and an $8.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of cash disbursements. These changes were partially offset by a $15.5 million increase in deferred revenue due to the upfront billing for a majority of our subscriptions.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $7.4 million reflecting our net loss of $8.3 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $10.5 million and net cash outflows of $9.5 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, amortization of deferred contract costs, amortization of debt issuance costs and share-based compensation, partially offset by deferred taxes. The primary drivers of net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities included an increase in deferred contract costs of $4.8 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.3 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6.9 million, partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in deferred revenue.
Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $6.3 million driven by purchases of $3.3 million in equipment and leasehold improvements primarily reflecting updates to office space and hardware and software and the acquisition of cmdReporter of $3.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million driven by purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements to support our higher headcount with additional office space and hardware and software.
40
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due to proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Net cash used in financing activities of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was due to the payment of offering costs of $1.5 million, partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of March 31, 2021, our principal commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for office space. In “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we disclosed our total contractual obligations as of December 31, 2020. Outside of the above and routine transactions made in the ordinary course of business, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify customers, channel partners, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us or from intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation claims made by third parties. See “Risk Factors — We have indemnity provisions under our contracts with our customers, channel partners and other third parties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain executive officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or consolidated statements of cash flows.
JOBS Act
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.
The JOBS Act also permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards on a non-delayed basis.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition.
41
Except for the accounting policies for leases that were updated as a result of adopting the new accounting standard, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. For more information, refer to “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of our recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted, see “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure due to potential changes in inflation or interest rates. We do not hold financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Most of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our revenue is not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the U.S., Poland, and the Netherlands. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk or other derivative financial instruments. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Impact of Inflation
While inflation may impact our net revenue and costs of revenue, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant. However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) and Rule 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the risk factors set forth below that are new or contain changes to the similarly titled risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition of Wandera
Our ability to complete the acquisition of Wandera is subject to various closing conditions, approvals from governmental authorities, which may impose conditions that could adversely affect us or cause the acquisition not to be completed.
On May 11, 2021, we entered into the Merger Agreement for the acquisition of Wandera, a leader in zero trust cloud security and access for mobile devices. The acquisition is subject to a number of customary conditions to closing as specified in the Merger Agreement. These closing conditions include, among others, the receipt of required approvals under U.S. competition laws, and the absence of governmental or other legal restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the acquisition. No assurance can be given that the required regulatory approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to closing will be satisfied, and, if all required consents and approvals are obtained and the required conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such consents and approvals. Any delay in completing the acquisition could cause the combined company not to realize, or to be delayed in realizing, some or all of the benefits that we and Wandera expect to achieve if the acquisition is successfully completed within its expected time frame. Additionally, either we or Wandera may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including, among other reasons, if the acquisition is not completed by August 3, 2021.
We can provide no assurance that the various closing conditions will be satisfied and that the necessary approvals will be obtained, or that any required conditions will not materially adversely affect the combined company following the acquisition. In addition, we can provide no assurance that these conditions will not result in the abandonment or delay of the acquisition. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
The termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact our business.
If the acquisition is not completed for any reason, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the expected benefits of having completed the acquisition, we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
• | we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on our stock price; |
• | we may experience negative reactions from our customers, suppliers, distributors and employees; |
• | we will be required to pay our costs relating to the acquisition, such as legal, advisory, and accounting costs and associated fees and expenses, whether or not the acquisition is completed; |
43
• | we could be subject to time-consuming and costly litigation related to the acquisition; and |
• | matters relating to the acquisition (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which could otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations or to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to our business. |
Whether or not the acquisition is completed, the announcement and pendency of the acquisition could cause disruptions in our and Wandera’s business, which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Whether or not the acquisition is completed, the announcement and pendency of the acquisition could cause disruptions in our and Wandera’s business. Specifically:
• | disruptions to ongoing operations; |
• | retaining and motivating key Wandera personnel; |
• | declining employee morale and retention issues affecting Wandera employees, which may result from changes in management, reporting relationships, or other changes to employment relationships; |
• | maintaining good relationships with customers or business partners of Wandera or our own customers as a result of the acquisition announcement, any uncertainty regarding completion of the acquisition, and any integration of operations; and |
• | the attention of our and Wandera’s management may be directed toward the completion of the acquisition. |
We have diverted significant management resources in an effort to complete the acquisition. If the acquisition is not completed, we will have incurred significant costs, including the diversion of management resources, for which we will have received little or no benefit.
We will incur significant acquisition-related costs in connection with the Wandera acquisition, and we could incur substantial expenses related to the integration of Wandera.
We have incurred and expect to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies, as well as transaction fees and other costs related to the acquisition. These costs and expenses include fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors, potential employment-related costs, filing fees, and other related charges. We will need to pay some of these costs regardless of whether the acquisition is completed.
We will also incur integration costs in connection with the acquisition. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the acquisition and the integration of Wandera’s business. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, strategic benefits, and additional income, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction and acquisition-related costs over time, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all. We will bear many of these costs even if the acquisition is not completed. While we have assumed that certain expenses would be incurred in connection with the acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration and implementation expenses.
Integrating Wandera’s business may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, which may adversely affect our business results and negatively affect the value of our common stock.
The success of the acquisition will depend on, among other things our ability to integrate Wandera’s businesses in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and realizes expected cost savings. We may encounter difficulties in integrating our and Wandera’s businesses and realizing the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. We must achieve
44
anticipated post-closing growth and cost savings without adversely affecting current revenues and investments in future growth. If we are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
The acquisition involves the combination of two companies which currently operate, and until the completion of the acquisition will continue to operate, as independent companies. There can be no assurances that our respective businesses can be integrated successfully. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees from both companies, the loss of customers, the disruption of our, Wandera’s or both companies’ ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, unexpected integration issues, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. We will be required to devote management attention and resources to business integration efforts, and prior to the acquisition, management attention and resources will be required to plan for such integration. Potential difficulties we may encounter in the integration process include the following:
• | lost sales and customers as a result of certain of our and/or Wandera’s customers deciding not to do business with us post-close; |
• | differences in customer and vendor composition, sales cycles, and other business dissimilarities; |
• | integrating personnel from the two companies while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high-quality products and services, especially in the COVID-19 environment; |
• | potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the acquisition; and |
• | our and/or Wandera’s performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the acquisition and integrating the companies’ operations. |
Any of these factors could result in us failing to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, on the expected timeline or at all. An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses and our operating results, which may adversely affect the value of our common stock.
In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized. Actual growth and cost savings, if achieved, may be lower than what we expect and may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If we are not able to adequately address integration challenges, we may be unable to successfully integrate their operations or realize the anticipated benefits of such integration.

(iv)subject to Section 3.1(e), the remaining amount of the Merger Consideration, after subtraction of (1) the amounts remitted in accordance with Section 3.1(c)(i) through Section 3.1(c)(iii), and (2) the portion thereof otherwise allocable in accordance with Section 3.6 to Dissenting Shares, shall be remitted by Parent to the Payments Administrator for the benefit of and distribution to the Company Equityholders (other than the Option Holders) as provided in this Article III and in accordance with the Consideration Schedule.

From and after the Effective Time, each holder of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock, except (i) Dissenting Shares shall have appraisal rights under the DGCL, and (ii) each other share of Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the applicable holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount, the applicable holder’s Deferred Pro Rata Share of the Deferred Merger Consideration, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4, in each case in respect of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock) as if each such
25
Preferred Stock had converted into Common Stock in accordance with the Restated Certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time subject to the conditions provided in this Article III.
(b)Conversion and Cancellation of Common Stock. Subject to Section 3.2(c) and Section 3.2(d) as the case may be, at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and Company Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2(c)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company Stockholders, be cancelled and extinguished, and each share of Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and Company Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2(c)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the applicable holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount, the applicable holder’s Deferred Pro Rata Share of the Deferred Merger Consideration, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4, in each case in respect of such holder’s shares of Common Stock) in cash, payable in accordance with and subject to the conditions provided in this Article III. From and after the Effective Time, each holder of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock, except (i) Dissenting Shares shall have appraisal rights under the DGCL, and (ii) each other share of Common Stock shall have the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the applicable holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount, the applicable holder’s Deferred Pro Rata Share of the Deferred Merger Consideration, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4, in each case in respect of such holder’s shares of Common Stock) subject to the conditions provided in this Article III.
(c)Reallocation among the RT Affiliate, ET Affiliate, and Specified Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the Company Stockholders, the aggregate Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the Specified Investors shall be reduced by the Reallocation Amount (on a pro rata basis among the Specified Investors), and the aggregate Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the RT Affiliate and the ET Affiliate shall be increased by the Reallocation Amount (with respect to each such Person, by 50% of the Reallocation Amount) (the “Reallocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Reallocation shall have no effect on the Per Share Merger Consideration payable to any other Company Equityholders other than the Specified Investors, the RT Affiliate and the ET Affiliate.
(d)Common Stock Underlying EMI Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will withhold from the aggregate Merger Consideration otherwise payable to each holder of Common Stock who acquired such Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of EMI Options on or after the date of this Agreement (such Common Stock, the “EMI Stock”, and such holders, the “EMI Stockholders”) an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of such EMI Options that the EMI Stockholder has irrevocably undertaken to pay to the Company upon the exercise of such EMI Options. Following the Closing, Parent will pay each such withheld sum to the Company in full satisfaction of each EMI Stockholder’s irrevocable undertaking to pay the aggregate exercise price for the exercise of their EMI Options to the Company.
26
(e)Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, each Company Share held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
(f)Company Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Company Warrants notices consistent with the terms and conditions of the applicable Company Warrant. No Company Warrants, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent in the Merger, and at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant will, by virtue of the Merger, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be cancelled at the Effective Time, and in exchange therefor, each holder of a Company Warrant shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Warrant an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by such holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount, such holder’s Deferred Pro Rata Share of the Deferred Merger Consideration, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4, in each case in respect of the Company Shares underlying such holder’s Company Warrants) over the per share exercise price of such Company Warrant (the product of clause (x) and (y) with respect to any Company Warrant, the “Per Warrant Merger Consideration”); provided, however, that if the Per Warrant Merger Consideration would be a negative amount (such Company Warrants, the “Out of the Money Company Warrants” and all Company Warrants that are not Out of the Money Company Warrants, the “In the Money Company Warrants”), such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time without any present or future right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration.
(g)Surrender of Company Shares and Company Warrants. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, but in any event within ten (10) days, the Payments Administrator shall mail to each (i) Company Stockholder a letter of transmittal, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Stockholder Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) Warrantholder, a Warrant Cancellation Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 (the “Warrant Cancellation Agreement”). As a condition precedent to each holder’s receipt of the Per Share Merger Consideration or Per Warrant Merger Consideration, as applicable, (A) each Company Stockholder shall deliver an executed Stockholder Letter of Transmittal, and (B) each Warrantholder shall deliver a duly executed and completed Warrant Cancellation Agreement to the Payments Administrator. Upon receipt by the Payments Administrator of the items set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (but in no event earlier than the Effective Time), such Company Stockholder or Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, the Per Share Merger Consideration or Per Warrant Merger Consideration, as applicable (as reduced at the Closing by such holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4), for each Company Share or Company Warrant, which amount shall be paid by the Payments Administrator on the Closing Date if deliveries from the applicable Company Stockholder or Warrantholder are received prior to the Closing Date, and shall otherwise be paid within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Payments Administrator of such deliveries from such Company Stockholder or Warrantholder, in each case by delivery of a certified or bank cashier’s check or by wire transfer. No interest will be paid or accrued on any portion of the Merger Consideration
27
payable to Company Stockholders or Warrantholders. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares or Company Warrants that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a transferee if all documents (as determined by the Payments Administrator in its sole discretion) required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid are presented to the Payments Administrator.
(h)Retention of Amounts. Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Agreement, no Company Escrow Equityholder shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration represented by such Company Equityholder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount or the Representative Holdback Amount until such time as such amount (or any portion thereof), if any, is distributed to such Company Escrow Equityholder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Requisite Stockholder Approval shall constitute approval by the Company Stockholders and the Warrantholders of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the transactions and arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Escrow Funds in escrow.
3.3Options.
(a)Cancellation of Unvested Options. Effective at the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised stock option to purchase Common Stock granted under the Equity Incentive Plans (each, an “Option”) that is not a Vested Option shall be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration.
(b)Settlement of Vested Options. Effective at the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised Vested Option shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (subject to the immediately following sentence and except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3, and subject to reduction at the Closing by the applicable holder’s Deferred Pro Rata Share of the Deferred Merger Consideration, in respect of Company Shares underlying such holder’s Vested Options) a lump sum cash payment, payable by the Payments Administrator to Non-Employee Option Holders on the Closing Date or by the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries through the Company’s or the Company Subsidiary’s payroll to Employee Option Holders, in each case, in an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the Per Share Portion of such Vested Option of the Deferred Merger Consideration) over (B) the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock for which such Vested Option has not been exercised (such payment to be net of withholdings, if any, and without interest) (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to, collectively, as the “Option Payments”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Vested Option with an exercise price per share of Common Stock that is equal to or in excess of the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration as of the Effective Time.
(c)Surrender of Options; Payment for Options. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, but in any event within ten (10) days of the date hereof, the Payments Administrator shall mail to each Option Holder (i) an Option Cancellation Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (the “Option Cancellation Agreement”),
28
and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the cancellation and termination of the Options in exchange for the portion of Option Payments contemplated to be paid to such Option Holder pursuant to this Section 3.3. As a condition precedent to each Option Holder’s right to receive his, her or its Option Payment, if any, such Option Holder shall deliver to the Payments Administrator an executed Option Cancellation Agreement. Upon receipt by the Payments Administrator of the items set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (but in no event earlier than the Effective Time), the Payments Administrator shall pay, subject to Section 3.1(e) with respect to the applicable holder’s Deferred Pro Rata Share of Deferred Merger Consideration, to the Non-Employee Option Holders or to the Company for further distribution to the Employee Option Holders, subject to any applicable withholdings and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4, the portion of Option Payments due under this Section 3.3 with respect to such Option, which payment shall be made with respect to Non-Employee Option Holders on the Closing Date and with respect to Employee Option Holders as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Closing Date, and in any event not later than five (5) days following the Closing Date, if all deliveries from the applicable Option Holder are received prior to the Closing Date, and shall otherwise be paid as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of receipt by the Payments Administrator of such deliveries from such Option Holder.
(d)Company Actions. At or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all actions as are necessary, including adopting resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof, to effectuate the treatment of the Options pursuant to this Section 3.3.
3.4Post-Closing Adjustments.
(a)Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Representative statements setting forth Parent’s good faith determination of each of (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Statement of Closing Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Cash on Hand (the “Statement of Closing Cash on Hand”), (iii) the Closing Indebtedness (the “Statement of Closing Indebtedness”), and (iv) the Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Statement of Closing Transaction Expenses”), together with reasonable supporting documentation. The Statement of Closing Working Capital, the Statement of Closing Cash on Hand, the Statement of Closing Indebtedness, and the Statement of Closing Transaction Expenses are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Statements.” The Statements shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash on Hand, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, in each case, as set forth in Section 1.1. Until the Statements are finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4, Parent shall afford the Representative (and its representatives and advisors), upon prior written notice, reasonable access, during normal business hours and under reasonable circumstances, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, to all books and records and all personnel used to prepare, or otherwise relevant to the calculation of, the Statements that are under control of or in the possession of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (or their respective representatives and advisors).
(b)Each Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties unless the Representative shall, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Statements (the “Dispute Period”), deliver to Parent written notice of disagreement with such Statement (a “Dispute
29
Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail and identify the specific items involved and the dollar amount of such disagreement. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts set forth in a Statement that are not subject to dispute in a Dispute Notice shall be deemed final, and Parent and the Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Escrow Account to an account designated by the Representative and held by the Payments Administrator for further distribution in accordance with Section 3.4(d)(i)–(ii) the excess, if any, of the Escrow Funds over the greatest aggregate value of the items in the Statements in dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice; provided, however, that neither Representative or Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with any items which are directly or indirectly impacted by the resolution of the items disputed in the Dispute Notice. If the Representative and Parent are unable to resolve all disagreements with respect to a Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt by Parent of a Dispute Notice with respect to such Statement, or such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Representative, then the Representative and Parent shall jointly select and retain KPMG LLP, or if KPMG LLP is unwilling or unable to serve in such role, an arbiter from a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm that is not the independent auditor of any of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation (the Person so selected, the “Independent Accountant”). The Representative and Parent agree to jointly enter into a customary indemnity agreement with the Independent Accountant in connection with the retention of such Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the applicable Statement as to which Parent and the Representative have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above and must resolve such matters in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each Party may furnish to the Independent Accountant such information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents and information being concurrently given to the other Party. The Independent Accountant shall resolve each item of disagreement based solely on the supporting material provided by the Parties and not pursuant to any independent review and may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Party, in each case as presented to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall issue a detailed written report that sets forth the resolution of all items in dispute and that contains, as applicable, a final Statement of Closing Working Capital, a final Statement of Closing Cash on Hand, a final Statement of Closing Indebtedness, and/or a final Statement of Transaction Expenses. Such report shall be final and binding upon Parent and the Representative and the Company Equityholders absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne on a proportionate basis by the Representative, on behalf of the Company Escrow Equityholders, from the Representative Holdback Amount, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each such Person bears to the amount actually contested by such Person. Parent and the Representative shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate fully with the Independent Accountant and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Independent Accountant or by other Parties hereto, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all disputes relating to any Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, not as an arbitrator, in resolving the disputed matters under the Dispute Notice.
(c)If the amount representing the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Cash on Hand, the Closing Indebtedness, or the Closing Transaction Expenses, in each case as reflected
30
in the applicable Statement as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.4, differs from the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, or the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, respectively, as the case may be, the Closing Merger Consideration shall be adjusted on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such difference such that:
(ii)if the Closing Cash on Hand as reflected in the Statement of Closing Cash on Hand is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and if the Closing Cash on Hand as reflected in the Statement of Closing Cash on Hand is less than the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of such shortfall;
(iii)if the Closing Indebtedness as reflected in the Statement of Closing Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of such excess, and if the Closing Indebtedness as reflected in the Statement of Closing Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be increased by the amount of such shortfall; and
(iv)if the Closing Transaction Expenses as reflected in the Statement of Closing Transaction Expenses are greater than the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of such excess, and if the Closing Transaction Expenses as reflected in the Statement of Closing Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be increased by the amount of such shortfall.
If the adjustments, if any, under this Section 3.4 result in an aggregate reduction in the Closing Merger Consideration, the Representative, acting on behalf of the Company Equityholders, and Parent shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent (by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Parent) from the Escrow Funds the amount of such reduction within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the adjustments. Conversely, if such adjustments result in an aggregate increase in the Closing Merger Consideration, Parent shall make a payment equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such increase and (y) $500,000 to an account designated by the Representative and held by the Payments
31
Administrator for further distribution in accordance with Section 3.4(d)(i)–(ii) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.4, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will the Representative (or any other Person) be obligated to make any payment to Parent in respect of any adjustments pursuant to this Section 3.4 other than from, or in an aggregate amount in excess of, the Escrow Funds.
(d)Escrow Release. On the date that is five (5) Business Days following the final determination of Closing Working Capital, the Closing Cash on Hand, the Closing Indebtedness, and the Closing Transaction Expenses pursuant to this Section 3.4, to the extent funds are available in the Escrow Account after the final adjustment payment(s) in accordance with Section 3.4(c), Parent and the Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such funds to an account designated by the Representative and held by the Payments Administrator for further distribution to:
(i)each Company Stockholder (other than any EMI Stockholder) in accordance with such holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share; and
(ii)each Warrantholder in accordance with such holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share.
3.5Effect of Merger on the Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company Stockholders, be converted automatically into and exchanged for one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
3.6Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by Company Stockholders who have not voted in favor of the Merger, consented thereto in writing or otherwise contractually waived their rights to appraisal and who have complied with all of the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares,” and the holders thereof the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the applicable holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4) in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2, unless and until such Company Stockholders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, any objection to the Merger, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right
32
to dissent, then (1) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by such holder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4) in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2, and (2) promptly following the occurrence of such event, Parent shall remit to the Payments Administrator, the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled. Any payments to be made in respect of Dissenting Shares will be made by Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation.
3.7Withholding Rights. Parent, the Company, the Payments Administrator and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to any person pursuant to this Agreement or any ancillary agreements hereto, such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of any such payment under any provisions of federal, state, local or foreign Law, including as a result of (i) the compensatory nature of such payments (such as payments to Employee Option Holders), (ii) a change in Law after the date hereof or (iii) the Company’s failure to provide the certificate in accordance with Section 9.1(e). To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and paid over to the proper Governmental Authority, such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.
3.8Payments Administrator. The Payments Administrator shall act as payments administrator hereunder for the payment and delivery of amounts payable in exchange for Company Shares, Company Warrants and Options due hereunder. The Payments Administrator shall hold the amounts received from Parent and payable to the Company Equityholders pursuant to (i) this Agreement and (ii) the Payments Agreement, in trust for the benefit of such Company Equityholders. Any funds received by the Payments Administrator pursuant to this Agreement will not be used for any purpose except as expressly provided in the Payments Agreement.

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS
10.1Tax Covenants.
(a)All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration or similar Taxes and fees applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the Merger (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by the Company Equityholders and 50% by the Parent. The party required by law shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable Law, the other Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
(b)Parent and the Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding or any tax planning and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent and the Representative further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any Transfer Taxes).
(c)Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date. Any such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Acquired Company, as applicable, except as required by applicable Law. At least twenty (20) days prior to filing any such Tax Return showing a material amount of Tax due or that is reasonably likely to result in the Company Equityholders having an indemnification obligation, Parent shall provide a copy of such Tax Return to the Representative
70
for its review and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments received from Representative no later than five (5) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return.
(d)Tax Refunds. All refunds (or credits for overpayments) of Taxes attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Period that have been paid by the Company prior to Closing or indemnified by the Company Equityholders pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such refund or credit included in the calculation of the Current Assets, shall be for the benefit of the Company Equityholders. Promptly upon receipt of any such Tax refund (or credits for overpayments), and in no event later than ten (10) days after receipt by Parent or any of their Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies), Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, deliver and pay over such Tax refunds (or credits for overpayments), including any interest thereon, to the Payments Administrator (for further distribution to the Company Equityholders), net of the amount of any Taxes or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in obtaining such refund (or credits for overpayments).
(e)Certain Post-Closing Actions. Without the consent of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent shall not, except as otherwise required by Law or contemplated by this Agreement, amend any Tax Return or election made in connection with such Tax Return with respect to the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or change any method of accounting for Tax purposes or Tax accounting period with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim against the Company Equityholders for indemnification of Pre-Closing Taxes. Parent may voluntarily approach a Tax authority to correct a Tax filing practice of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods after reasonable consultation with the Representative, provided that Parent shall keep the Representative reasonably informed of any material developments in such discussions and shall consider the Representative’s comments in good faith.
10.2Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.
(a)For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Parent shall not, and shall ensure that each of the Acquired Companies does not, amend, alter, repeal or modify any provision in any of the Acquired Companies’ Organizational Documents and any indemnification agreements to which the Acquired Companies are bound relating to, in each case, the exculpation or indemnification of any officers and directors in any way that diminishes or adversely affects the indemnification or exculpation provided therein (unless required by Law), it being the intent of the Parties that the officers and directors of any of the Acquired Companies who were officers and directors at any time prior to the Closing (each, a “D&O Indemnified Person”) shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the fullest extent provided for under applicable Law.
(b)At the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, obtain irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming the D&O Indemnified Persons as direct beneficiaries, with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date, from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ liability insurance and in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies, with respect to matters existing, occurring or arising at or prior to the Closing Date. The cost of such tail policy or policies will be borne by the Company’s equityholders and will be a part
71
of Transaction Expenses. Parent shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect.
(c)In the event Parent, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in either such case proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 10.2. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are expressly intended to benefit each of the D&O Indemnified Persons.
10.3Employee Matters.
(a)Except as set forth in Section 10.3(d), for a period of one (1) year following the Closing (or, if earlier with respect to any Continuing Employee (as such term is defined below), the date that such Continuing Employee terminates employment from the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), Parent shall provide (or cause the Surviving Corporation or another Affiliate of Parent to provide) to employees of the Surviving Corporation or any other Affiliate of Parent who were Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) with (i) base compensation and target annual cash bonus opportunities that are not less than the base compensation and target annual cash bonus opportunities received by the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, and, (ii) employee benefits (other than equity or equity-based compensation, change in control, retention, defined benefit pension and nonqualified deferred compensation plans and arrangements) (“Employee Benefits”) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the Employee Benefits provided by Parent to its similarly situated employees.
(b)For purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting of retirement benefits (but not benefit accrual), and for purposes of determining future vacation accruals under any employee benefit plans of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Continuing Employees shall receive service credit for service with the Acquired Companies to the same extent and for the same purposes such service credit was granted under the Employee Benefit Plans or PEO Plans set forth under Schedule 4.15(a), provided that such credit does not result in a duplication of benefits or coverage. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any welfare benefit plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, other than waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Time under any welfare benefit plan maintained for the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs under any group health plans that such employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time.
(c)Parent shall provide certain Continuing Employees as selected by Parent
72
and mutually agreed with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company with awards of Parent RSUs having an aggregate grant date fair market value equal to at least $15,000,000. Each Continuing Employee who receives an award of Parent RSUs shall enter into a restricted stock unit agreement (“RSU Agreement”) that shall provide for vesting over a four (4) year period following the date of grant, and shall otherwise have terms and conditions consistent with Parent’s standard form of RSU Agreement.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.3, Company’s and Parent’s obligations under this Section 10.3 shall not (i) apply to any individual who is furloughed, temporarily laid off, or suffers a termination of employment or reduction in hours or benefits because of COVID-19-related circumstances at any time, or (ii) limit the Company’s and Parent’s right, in its sole discretion, to furlough, temporarily layoff, terminate the employment of, or reduce the hours or benefits of, any employee.
(e)The Acquired Companies shall (or shall cause the applicable plan sponsor to), (i) adopt written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate action(s)) to terminate the Acquired Companies’ participation in the TriNet 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), effective at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (the “401(k) Plan Termination Date”), in compliance with its terms and the requirements of applicable Law; and (ii) on or prior to the 401(k) Plan Termination Date, or if necessary, as soon as administratively practicable following the 401(k) Plan Termination Date, make all employee and employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of the Continuing Employees with respect to compensation paid to the Continuing Employees on or before the 401(k) Plan Termination Date, including such contributions that would have been made on behalf of the Continuing Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred (regardless of any service or end-of-year employment requirements) but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date.
(f)The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 10.3, (i) are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties and shall not create any right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Employee Benefit Plan, PEO Plan or any beneficiary thereof or any right to continued employment (or any term or condition of employment) with an Acquired Company, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, (ii) shall not require Parent, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary of Parent to continue or amend any particular benefit plan after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any employee or former employee of any Acquired Company, and shall not alter or limit the Parent’s, the Surviving Corporation’s, or any of their Affiliates’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, and (iii) shall not be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

(a)This Agreement and any Legal Proceeding of any kind or nature (whether at law or in equity, based upon contract, tort or otherwise) that is in any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto (including the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of any of the transactions related hereto (including any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to any representation or warranty expressly made in this Agreement)) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware and without regard to any borrowing statute that would result in the application of the statute of limitations of any other jurisdictions. In furtherance of the foregoing, the laws of the State of Delaware will control even if under such jurisdiction’s
77
choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.
(b)Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such Party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) such Party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) such Party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) such Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 12.8.

(d)Each Party agrees that service in person or by certified or by nationally recognized overnight courier to its address set forth in Section 12.7 shall constitute valid in personam service upon such Party and its successors and assigns in any arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 12.8.

(iv)in all cases, reduced by actual insurance recoveries actually received by Parent and its Affiliates, net of any insurance premiums (including any increase thereof) and costs of collection.

No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver, nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
12.11Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law by which this Agreement is governed, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision; provided that such provision shall be construed to give effect to the Parties’ intent regarding such provision to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.
12.12Construction; Disclosure. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business for purposes of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have the right from time to time to supplement, modify or update the Company Disclosure Schedules to reflect actions, omissions, circumstances, occurrences and/or developments occurring after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and, except for purposes of Section 8.1(c), any such supplements, modifications and updates shall supplement, modify and amend the Company Disclosure Schedules for all purposes. From and after the time of any such supplement, modification and/or update, references to the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be references to the Company Disclosure Schedules as so supplemented, modified and/or updated. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Company Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by
80
any Party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of law or breach of contract).
12.13Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
12.14Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be entitled specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts described in Section 12.8, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby waives (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding Section 6.8 hereof, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the Company shall be entitled specific performance of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing, and that Parent and Merger Sub shall use available cash, debt or equity financing sources to pay the amounts required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub hereunder. If, prior to the End Date, any Party brings any action, in each case in accordance with Section 12.8, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by (x) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (y) such other later date established by the Delaware court presiding over such action.
12.15Representative.
(a)Designation. The Representative is hereby authorized to serve as the representative of each Company Equityholders with respect to the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement to be performed by the Representative.
(b)Authority. Each Company Equityholder, by his, her or its acceptance of any portion of the Merger Consideration, as well as through the execution and delivery of his, her or its Stockholder Letter of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreement or Warrant Cancellation Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, irrevocably appoints the Representative as of the Closing as the representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Company Equityholder for all purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Payments Agreement (including the full power and authority on such Company Equityholder’s behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) to pay such Company Equityholder’s expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement (whether incurred on or after the date hereof), (iii) to make any determinations and settle any matters in connection with the adjustment of the Merger Consideration contemplated by Article III, (iv) to cause the Payments Administrator to distribute any funds payable by Parent hereunder which are for the account of the Company Equityholders, (v) to deduct and/or hold back any funds which
81
may be payable to any Company Equityholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to pay, or establish a reserve for, any amount which may be payable by such Company Equityholder hereunder, (vi) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Company Equityholder any amendment to the terms hereof, (vii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Company Equityholder in connection herewith, (viii) to retain funds for reasonably anticipated expenses and liabilities, and (ix) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Company Equityholder or the Company Equityholders collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Payments Agreement). All decisions and actions by the Representative made in accordance with the authority granted to it hereunder, including the defense or settlement of any claims for losses for which the Parent, Merger Sub and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns may be entitled to indemnification, shall be binding upon all of the Company Equityholders, and no Company Equityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be retained by the Representative for such time as the Representative shall determine in its sole discretion.
(c)Replacement. In the event that the Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Equityholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) who held a majority of the voting power represented by the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall select another representative to fill such vacancy, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Representative for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Company Equityholders shall provide notice of the identity of the new Representative to Parent within ten (10) days of such replacement.
(d)Exculpation.
(i)Neither the Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any other Person by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder or any of its omissions or actions with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely on the acts, to the extent authorized hereunder, of the Representative.
(ii)The Representative shall have no obligations to make any payments, including on behalf of any Company Equityholder or any other Person. Parent agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Company (pre-Closing) or the Company Equityholders. The Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Representative in connection with the Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability primarily resulting from the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Equityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative from and against any and all losses,
82
liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Company Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Company Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from (i) the Representative Holdback Amount, and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Funds at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Company Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 12.1 and Section 12.16 hereof) are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Representative under this Section 12.15. The Company Equityholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
(iii)The Representative Holdback Amount will be held in with an FDIC-insured institution in a segregated account. The Company Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Representative Holdback Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Representative Holdback Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Representative’s responsibilities, the Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Representative Holdback Amount to the Payments Administrator for further distribution in accordance with Section 3.4(d)(i)–(ii) (the date of such distribution, the “Representative Holdback Distribution Date”). For tax purposes, the Representative Holdback Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Equityholders at the time of the Closing.
83
(iv)This Section 12.15(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XI.
(e)Irrevocability; Successors. The provisions of this Section 12.15 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Company Equityholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 12.15 shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Company Equityholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Company Equityholder shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Company Equityholders hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.
(f)Access. The Representative shall have reasonable access to relevant information about the Acquired Companies and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s, the Company Subsidiaries’ and Parent’s employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder; provided that the Representative shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about the Company or its Subsidiaries to anyone (except as required by law or on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).
12.16Waiver of Conflict; Privilege. After the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) not to use any legal advice provided by Fenwick & West LLP to the Company, the Representative or any Company Equityholder, relating to the Merger (“Company Transactions Legal Advice”) in connection with any indemnification claim dispute hereunder or any other legal proceeding or potential legal proceeding against, with or involving Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates or agents. The Company Transactions Legal Advice shall be deemed to be privileged and confidential communications of the Representative and the Company Equityholders and control of the confidentiality and privilege applicable thereto shall be retained by the Representative and the Company Equityholders. After the Effective Time, the Representative shall be permitted to access and use Company Transactions Legal Advice in connection with any indemnification claim dispute hereunder or any other legal proceeding or potential legal proceeding against, with or involving Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates or agents; and Fenwick & West LLP, the Representative and any Company Equityholder may make any such Company Transactions Legal Advice available to Fenwick & West LLP or the Representative, as the case may be. In connection with the foregoing, Parent hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) Fenwick & West LLP’s prior representation of the Company and (i) Fenwick & West LLP’s representation of the Representative prior to and after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and any of their Affiliates and agents may access and use for any purpose facts, data and any other information contained in any communications between Fenwick & West LLP, on the one hand, and the Company, the Representative or any Company Equityholder, on the other hand, to the extent such communications belong to the Surviving Corporation even if such communication also contains Company Transactions Legal Advice, including as evidence in any indemnification claim dispute or any other legal proceeding or potential legal proceeding involving the Representative or any Company Equityholder, but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Company
84
Transactions Legal Advice contained in such communications. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.16 or in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any client communications to any third party. The foregoing shall apply mutatis mutandis to the post-Closing representation of the Surviving Corporation by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, which it is agreed shall be permissible in all respects.
12.17Non-Recourse. Other than for claims or causes of action pursuant to the Stockholder Letters of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreements and Warrant Cancellation Agreements contemplated by Article III, all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as Parties hereto. Other than for claims or causes of action pursuant to the Stockholder Letters of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreements and Warrant Cancellation Agreements contemplated by Article III, no Person who is not a named Party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation or execution; and each Party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliate. The Non-Party Affiliates shall be a third party beneficiaries of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 12.16. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.17 shall not apply to Section 12.15, which shall be enforceable in its entirety by the Representative against the Company Equityholders.
