| Item 1.01 | Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Merger Agreement
On
May 6, 2022, ServiceSource International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated May 6, 2022, by and among the Company, Concentrix
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Concentrix Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition
Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into the
Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
The
Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) unanimously determined that the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and approved the Merger
Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated thereby. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Board
also unanimously resolved to recommend the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders.
As
a result of the Merger, except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share,
of the Company (“Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the
“Effective Time”) shall be converted into the right to receive $1.50 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger
Consideration”).
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:
| • | each Company stock option, whether
or not vested, shall automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder
thereof, vest (if unvested) and if not exercised by the holder thereof as of the Effective
Time (after notice and a reasonable period to elect the exercise of such Company stock option)
be cancelled and, if the exercise price per share is less than the Merger Consideration,
be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the
product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the
per-share exercise price for such option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares
of common stock underlying such option; if the exercise price per share is equal to or greater
than the Merger Consideration, such option if not exercised shall be cancelled without any
cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof; |
| • | each
then-outstanding Company restricted stock unit (“RSU”) will automatically
and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and
converted into the right to receive an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the product
of (i) the total number of shares of common stock underlying such RSU, multiplied by
(ii) the Merger Consideration, plus any dividend equivalent amounts accrued with respect
to such RSU (the “RSU Consideration”), and each converted RSU held by
an individual who is expected to be a continuing employee shall continue to have and be subject
to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such RSU immediately
before the Merger, including payment terms and remaining vesting conditions, but with vesting
terms adjusted for any right to accelerated vesting that may apply after the Effective Time
under the terms of any Company equity plan, equity award agreement, or Company severance
plan currently in effect that may be applicable; |
| • | each
then-outstanding Company performance stock unit (“PSU”) will automatically
and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and
converted into the right to receive an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the product
of (i) the total number of shares of common stock earned under such PSU, with performance
measured in accordance with the terms of the applicable governing documents (e.g. based on
the attainment of the applicable performance metrics through the date of the Merger) as determined
by the board of directors of the Company or a committee thereof after consultation with Parent,
multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, plus any dividend equivalent amounts accrued
with respect to such PSU (the “PSU Consideration”), and each converted
PSU held by an individual who is expected to be a continuing employee shall generally continue
to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable
to such PSU immediately before the Merger (aside from terms related to performance vesting
that shall no longer apply following the Effective Time), including payment terms and remaining
time-vesting conditions, but with vesting terms adjusted for any right to accelerated vesting
that may apply after the Effective Time under the terms of any Company equity plan, equity
award agreement, or Company severance plan currently in effect that may be applicable;
and |
| • | each
RSU and PSU held by an individual (whether an employee, non-employee director, or independent
contractor) who is not expected to be a continuing employee shall, automatically and without
any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vest (if unvested) and be cancelled
and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the
RSU Consideration or PSU Consideration, as applicable. |
If
the Merger is consummated, the Company’s securities will be de-listed from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and de-registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.
Conditions to the
Merger and Closing
Consummation
of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration
or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and the expiration of
applicable waiting periods or clearance of the Merger, as applicable, under the antitrust and foreign investment laws of certain other
jurisdictions, (iii) absence of any law or order, issued by certain governmental authorities of competent jurisdiction, prohibiting
the Merger, (iv) no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Merger
Agreement and (v) other customary closing conditions. Completion of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.
Regulatory Efforts
The
parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to consummate and make effective
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to cause the conditions to the Merger to be satisfied as expeditiously as practicable.
In furtherance thereof, Parent and Acquisition Sub have agreed to take promptly any and all steps necessary or reasonably advisable or
as may be required by any governmental authority to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents under any antitrust
laws that may be required by any governmental authority so as to enable the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, including the Merger, as expeditiously as possible.
Non-Solicitation of
Competing Offers
From
the execution of the Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company
must comply with customary non-solicitation restrictions. Subject to certain customary “fiduciary out” exceptions,
the Board is required to recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Merger, the Merger Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby. However, the Company may, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, make
an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in connection with a Superior Proposal or Intervening Event (each
as defined the Merger Agreement) if the Company complies with certain notice and other requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement,
including the payment of the Termination Fee to Parent or its designee (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
Termination and Fees
Either
the Company or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including if (i) the Merger shall not have been
consummated on or before 5:00 p.m. (Denver time) on November 1, 2022, subject to certain extensions as specified in the Merger
Agreement, (ii) a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final non-appealable law or order prohibiting
the Merger, (iii) the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the stockholders’ meeting duly convened therefor or
(iv) the other party materially breaches, and does not cure, any representation or covenant that would cause the related condition
to the other party’s obligation to consummate the Merger not to be satisfied, in each case subject to certain limitations set forth
in the Merger Agreement.
The
Company may terminate the Merger Agreement if (i) Parent or Acquisition Sub materially breaches, and does not cure, any representation
or covenant that would cause any conditions to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Merger not to be satisfied or (ii) all
conditions to the Merger have been and continue to be satisfied (subject to customary exceptions) and Parent fails to consummate the
Merger after receiving written notification from the Company.
The
Company may also terminate the Merger Agreement if, prior to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Board shall have authorized
the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to a Superior Proposal
and, substantially concurrently with such termination, the Company enters into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement and pays a termination
fee of $5.73 million to Parent (the “Termination Fee”).
Parent
may terminate the Merger Agreement, and receive the Termination Fee, if the Board has made an Adverse Recommendation Change, which termination
right shall expire upon the Requisite Stockholder Approval having been obtained.
If
a third party makes a Competing Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to the Company or its stockholders after May 6, 2022,
the Merger Agreement is subsequently terminated by either the Company or Parent because the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined
in the Merger Agreement) is not obtained or by Parent because the Company knowingly and intentionally breached any covenant or agreement
under the Merger Agreement (and the Competing Proposal is not withdrawn at least 5 Business Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
prior to the event that gave rise to the termination) and within 12 months of such termination, the Company enters into an acquisition
or similar agreement (that is later consummated) regarding or consummates a transaction involving a Competing Proposal, the Company shall
pay the Termination Fee.
If
the Merger Agreement is terminated because the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained, the Company will pay Parent an
amount equal to Parent’s actual expenses, in an amount not to exceed $1.5 million. Payment by the Company of the expense reimbursement
is creditable against the Termination Fee if it should subsequently become payable by the Company.
Other Terms of the
Merger Agreement
The
Company has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants to use
its reasonable best efforts to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business during the period between the date of the Merger
Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement and to not engage in specified types of transactions
during this period, subject to certain exceptions.
The
foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Merger Agreement
has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information
about the Company, Parent, Acquisition Sub, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants
contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such
other specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual
risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality
that are different from “materiality” under applicable securities laws. Investors should not rely on the representations,
warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto
or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements
prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date
of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. The Merger
Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company, Parent
and Acquisition Sub and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that will be contained in or attached as an annex to the
proxy statement that the Company will file in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as well as in the
other filings that the Company will make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Voting Agreements
On
May 6, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into voting agreements with each of Edenbrook
Long Only Value Fund, LP, Edenbrook Value Fund, LP, Strategos Fund, L.P., Strategos Master Fund, L.P., Gary B. Moore, Chad W. Lyne, Michael
D. Naughton, Richard G. Walker, John R. Ferron, John R. Harris, Andrew M. Baker, John A. Meyer, and Jane Okun Bomba (collectively, the
“Company Stockholders”), which collectively beneficially own approximately 33.5% of the outstanding voting power of
the Company’s stockholders (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”).
Each
Voting Agreement requires, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, that the Company Stockholders vote or cause to be voted all Common
Stock owned by the Company Stockholders in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The form of the Voting Agreement
is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers;
Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On
May 6, 2022, the Company entered into an indemnification agreement with Mike Naughton, the Company’s Chief Operating
Officer, in the form of the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for officers and directors. The indemnification agreement
requires the Company to indemnify the officer or director party thereto to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability
that may arise by reason of such individual’s service to the Company, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against such individual as to which he or she could be indemnified.
The foregoing description
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Amended and Restated Indemnification Agreement, which is attached
as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
