Item 2.01. Completion of Merger
On October 1, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 3, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Commvault Systems, Inc. (“Commvault”), Chennai Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Commvault (the “Merger Sub”), Hedvig, Inc. (“Hedvig”), Fortis Advisors LLC, and Avinash Lakshman, Srinivas Lakshman and Suresh Rajagopalan, solely for purposes of Section 10.5 of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Hedvig (the “Merger”), with Hedvig continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Commvault. Total consideration related to this transaction, subject to customary transaction adjustments, was approximately $225 million, which includes the purchase price and ongoing employee retention in the form of cash and stock-based compensation.
The foregoing description of the Merger and 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 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 4, 2019 as Exhibit 2.1 to Commvault’s Current Report on Form 8-K, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
(a) - (b)
As a result of acquiring Hedvig, and based on the criteria in Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, Commvault would ordinarily be required to file certain historical audited financial statements for Hedvig and corresponding pro forma financial information pursuant to Rule 11-01 of Regulation S-X. However, because Commvault believed that Hedvigs’s financial statements would not be material to Commvault’s shareholders and would be of limited value to investors, Commvault requested relief from the SEC from the requirement to provide historical audited financial statements of Hedvig otherwise required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and the corresponding pro forma financial statements set forth Rule 11-01 of Regulation S-X. In response to the waiver request, the SEC advised Commvault that it could file an audited statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed prepared on the basis of the allocation of Commvault’s purchase price as of the acquisition date (the “Audited Statement”) in lieu of the full financial statements of Hedvig and any pro forma financial statements. Commvault will file the Audited Statement no later than 71 calendar days after the date this Current Report is required to be filed.
