|
|
The Reporting Persons may effect purchases of shares of Common Stock through margin accounts maintained for them with prime brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms' credit policies. Positions in shares of Common Stock may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts. Since other securities may be held in such margin accounts, it may not be possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase shares of Common Stock.
|
|
Item 4.
|
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
|
|
|
|
|
The Reporting Persons acquired the securities of
the Issuer because they believe that such securities are significantly undervalued and represent an attractive investment
opportunity. The Reporting Persons believe the Issuer possesses an unmatched network platform which provides a significant
competitive advantage in its ability to deliver, accelerate, optimize and secure global traffic and business applications
over the internet. The Reporting Persons believe the value and potential uses of this platform are not reflected in the
Issuer's current market value. The Reporting Persons believe that there are numerous operational and strategic opportunities
to maximize shareholder value and the Reporting Persons will be seeking to engage in a dialogue with the Issuer's Board
of Directors (the "
Board
") and management regarding these matters.
The Reporting Persons intend to consider, explore and/or
develop plans and/or make proposals (whether preliminary or final) with respect to, among other things, the
Issuer's operations, management, Board composition, capital or corporate structure, capital allocation
policies, strategy and plans, and a potential strategic review or sale process involving the Issuer or certain of the
Issuer's businesses or assets, including transactions in which the Reporting Persons may seek to participate and
potentially engage in, or may change their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
The Reporting Persons intend to communicate with the Issuer's management and Board about a broad range of operational
and strategic matters and to communicate with other shareholders or third parties, including potential acquirers,
service providers and financing sources regarding the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any
such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment
in the Issuer on a continuing basis and depending upon various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial
position and strategic direction, overall market conditions, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, other investment
opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the
purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor (i) to increase or decrease their respective
positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer, including through transactions
involving Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon
or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer in the open market or in private transactions, including through a trading
plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable; and/or
(ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the Common Stock without affecting their beneficial
ownership of shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, (i) review or
reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and (ii) propose
or consider one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
|
|
|
|
Elliott and Elliott International
have entered into notional principal amount derivative agreements in the form of physically settled swaps (the
"
Physical Derivative Agreements
") with respect to 980,436 and 2,083,425 shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer, respectively, that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own upon satisfaction of certain
conditions. Collectively, the Physical Derivative Agreements held by the Reporting Persons represent economic
exposure comparable to an interest in approximately 1.8% of the shares of Common Stock. The counterparties to the
Physical Derivative Agreements are unaffiliated third party financial institutions.
Elliott, through The Liverpool Limited
Partnership, a Bermuda limited partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elliott ("
Liverpool
"), and Elliott
International have entered into notional principal amount derivative agreements in the form of cash settled swaps (the "
Cash
Derivative Agreements
") with respect to 1,912,894 and 4,064,899 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively (representing
economic exposure comparable to 1.1% and 2.4% of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively). Collectively, the Cash
Derivative Agreements held by the Reporting Persons represent economic exposure comparable to an interest in approximately 3.5%
of the shares of Common Stock. The Cash Derivative Agreements provide Elliott and Elliott International with economic results
that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide them with the power to vote or direct the voting or
dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares that are referenced in the Cash Derivative Agreements (such shares, the "
Subject
Shares
"). The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership in the Subject Shares. The counterparties to the Cash Derivative
Agreements are unaffiliated third party financial institutions. In addition, Elliott and Elliott International have sold 320 and
680 put option contracts, respectively, to unaffiliated third party financial institutions which may be settled by such counterparties
by putting Physical Derivative Agreements to Elliott or Elliott International.
On December 15, 2017 Elliott, Elliott International
and EICA entered into a Joint Filing Agreement (the "
Joint Filing Agreement
") in which the parties agreed to the
joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent
required by applicable law. The Joint Filing Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Except
as described above in this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
