Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 11, 2017, The Rubicon Project, Inc. (
Rubicon Project
or the
Company
) entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with nToggle, Inc. (
nToggle
), Caviar Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rubicon Project (
Merger Sub
), Shareholder Representative Services LLC, solely in its capacity as
the initial Holder Representative thereunder, and certain persons delivering joinder agreements therewith. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into nToggle, with nToggle surviving as a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 14, 2017, the parties consummated the transactions (the
Merger Transactions
) contemplated by the Merger Agreement and nToggle became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
In connection with consummating the Merger Transaction, at the closing, Rubicon Project paid aggregate cash consideration of
$38.5 million, $3.4 million of which was deposited into an escrow account to cover a post-closing working capital adjustment and indemnification obligations of the nToggle securityholders. In addition, Rubicon Project assumed all
outstanding unvested
in-the-money
options and certain shares of restricted stock held by continuing employees, and issued an aggregate of 174,117 restricted stock units
to the continuing employees under the Rubicon Project 2014 Inducement Grant Equity Incentive Plan.
The board of directors of Rubicon
Project approved and adopted the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement was not subject to approval by the stockholders of Rubicon Project.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the Merger Transactions does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in
its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form
8-K
and incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been incorporated herein by reference, and the above description has been included, to provide investors and security
holders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and Merger Transactions. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Rubicon Project, nToggle or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or
stockholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of those agreements and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; and may be
subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each contracting party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to
investors. Investors should be aware that the representations, warranties and covenants, or any description thereof, may not reflect the actual state of facts or condition of Rubicon Project, nToggle, Merger Sub or any of their respective
subsidiaries, affiliates, businesses, or stockholders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may have changed after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or
may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Rubicon Project. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about Rubicon
Project and its subsidiaries that Rubicon Project includes in reports, statements and other filings they make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
