Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On February 8, 2021, Glu Mobile Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Electronic Arts Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Giants
Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions specified
in, the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary
of Parent (the “Merger”).
The Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) unanimously (i) determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
(collectively, the “Transactions”), individually and in the aggregate, are fair to and in the best interests of the
Company and the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and declared it advisable
that the Company enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Transactions in accordance with the Delaware General Corporate
Law and (iii) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of
the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), if the Merger is completed, each
share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company issued and outstanding as of immediately
prior to the Effective Time, other than (i) Shares held by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries
immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Shares owned by a holder who has properly demanded appraisal under Delaware law,
will be automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $12.50, without interest (the “Merger
Consideration”) and less any applicable withholding taxes.
Each
Share underlying a Company stock option that is vested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time will be
cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the difference between the Merger Consideration and the applicable
per share exercise price, without interest and less any applicable tax withholdings. Each Share underlying a Company restricted
stock unit that is vested, unexpired, unsettled and outstanding as of the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically converted
into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and less any applicable tax withholdings. Unvested Company
stock options and unvested Company restricted stock units held by continuing Company employees will be assumed by Parent and converted
into corresponding awards relating to a number of shares of common stock of Parent in accordance with the formula in the Merger
Agreement, with substantially identical terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Company awards immediately
prior to the Effective Time, except as such terms and conditions are modified by the Merger Agreement. Each Company performance-based
stock option and restricted stock unit that is unvested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time for which
the performance period has not been completed as of the Effective Time will, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, be
deemed achieved at “target” (or the equivalent, as applicable) and be converted to a time-based vesting schedule that
corresponds to each performance period.
The
consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the approval of the Merger
and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Shares
entitled to vote thereon in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and to approve the Merger; (ii) the accuracy of
the parties’ respective representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, subject to specified materiality qualifications;
(iii) compliance by the parties with their respective covenants in the Merger Agreement in all material respects; (iv) the absence
of any law, order or other legal restraint or injunction by any court or governmental entity having jurisdiction that prevents
the consummation of the Merger (a “Restraint”); (v) the expiration or termination of any waiting periods or receipt
of any requisite consents under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and approval under Austrian
antitrust laws (the “Antitrust Approvals”); (vi) the absence of a material adverse effect (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) with respect to the Company on or after the date of the Merger Agreement that is continuing as of immediately prior
to the Effective Time. The Transactions are not subject to a financing condition.
The Company has made customary representations
and warranties in the Merger Agreement and has agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of the business of the Company
and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Merger. In addition, the Company has agreed not to initiate, solicit, knowingly
facilitate or encourage (including by way of providing information) the making, submission or announcement of any inquiries, proposals
or offers related to alternative acquisition proposals, subject to customary exceptions for the Company to respond to unsolicited
proposals to the extent the Board determines in good faith that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties
of the Board.
The
Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the parties, including (i) the right of the Company in certain circumstances
to terminate the Merger Agreement and accept a “Superior Proposal” (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) the right
of either the Company or Parent to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not been completed on or before August 7, 2021,
which date may be extended for a period of up to three months if all conditions other than conditions relating to a Restraint or
regulatory approvals have been satisfied as of such date and (iii) if the approval of the Company’s stockholders is
not obtained. The Merger Agreement provides that the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $78.9 million
in certain circumstances, including if the Board changes or withdraws its recommendation of the Merger to the Company’s stockholders
or the Company terminates the Merger Agreement to accept a Superior Proposal.
The foregoing description of the Merger
Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The representations,
warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified
dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the
contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the
execution of the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual
risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards
of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely
on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or
condition of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties
and covenants may change after the Effective Time, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
Press Release
On February 8, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing
its entry into the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers;

On February 8, 2021, in connection with the promotion of Becky
Ann Hughes into the role of the Company’s Senior Vice President, Growth during the Company’s annual executive performance
and compensation review in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a Change of Control Severance Agreement with Ms.
Hughes (the “Severance Agreement”). Under the Severance Agreement, if Ms. Hughes’ employment with the Company
is terminated without cause or as a result of an involuntary termination at any time within 12 months after a change of control
of the Company, and Ms. Hughes delivers to the Company a signed general release of claims, then she will receive (i) six months
of her then-current annual base salary, (ii) 50% of her target annual bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurred,
(iii) an additional 36 months of vesting with respect to each of her then-outstanding and not fully vested equity awards (with
vesting of performance-based equity based upon target-level achievement) and (iv) up to six months of continuation coverage for
her (and any of her eligible dependents) pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. In addition, the
Severance Agreement requires that any successor corporation to the Company must assume the Severance Agreement.
The description of Severance Agreement is qualified in its entirety
by the Severance Agreement itself, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.
In addition, Ms. Hughes has executed the Company’s standard
form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 99.01 to Glu’s Form 8-K (File No.

of Merger Sub thereunder to be the name of the Surviving Corporation; and
(c)
the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective
Time shall be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Section 1.5
Conversion of Shares; Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs and Company ESPP.
(a)
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part
of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any equityholder of the Company:
(i)
Treasury Shares. Each Share that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company
or its wholly owned Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (and, in each case, not held on behalf of third parties)
shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion or payment of any property or consideration, and shall cease to exist;
(ii)
Shares Owned by Parent and Merger Sub. Each Share that is owned, directly or indirectly,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (A) Parent, (B) Merger Sub, (C) any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent
or Merger Sub or (D) any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding stock of Merger Sub shall be cancelled
and extinguished without any conversion or payment of any property or consideration, and shall cease to exist;
(iii)
All Other Shares. Each Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (other than (A) Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(i) and Section 1.5(a)(ii) (collectively,
the “Cancelled Shares”) and (B) Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right
to receive an amount, net to the seller in cash, without interest, equal to $12.50 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”),
subject to any required withholding of Taxes. All Shares that have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.5(a)(iii) shall
be cancelled automatically and shall be extinguished and cease to exist, and the holders of (1) Shares represented by Company Stock
Certificates (as defined below) or (2) Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to those Shares, other than
the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.8.
(iv)
Company Options.
(A)
Vested Company Options. Each Company Option (or portion thereof and including
any Company PSO after giving effect to the Performance Company Option Conversion set forth in Section 1.5(a)(iv)(C) below)
that is vested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Option”)
shall, by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company,
the holder of such Vested Company Option or any other Person, be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive
an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares subject to such Vested Company Option multiplied
by (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the applicable per share exercise price of such Vested
Company Option, without interest and subject to any required withholding of Taxes. The Surviving Corporation shall pay the amounts
set forth in this Section 1.5(a)(iv)(A) as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than
the later of the second regularly scheduled payroll date and the date that is 15 Business Days, in each case, after the Effective
Time). If the applicable per share exercise price of any such Vested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger
Consideration, such Vested Company Option shall be cancelled pursuant to this Section 1.5(a)(iv)(A) without payment of any
consideration.
(B) Unvested
Company Options. Each Company Option (or portion thereof and including any Company PSO after giving effect to the
Performance Company Option Conversion set forth in Section 1.5(a)(iv)(C) below) held by a Continuing Employee that is
unvested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time (each an “Unvested Company
Option”) shall, by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time and without any action on the part of
Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of such Unvested Company Option or any other Person, be
assumed by Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into a corresponding option denominated in shares of
common stock of Parent and subject to terms and conditions substantially identical to those in effect at the Effective Time,
including all vesting and applicable vesting acceleration provisions, except as such terms and conditions are modified by Section
1.5(a)(iv)(C) of this Agreement (each such assumed Unvested Company Option, an “Assumed Company
Option”), except that (1) the number of shares of common stock of Parent that will be subject to each such
Assumed Company Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of Shares of Company Common Stock subject to such
Assumed Company Option by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole Share) and (2) the exercise or purchase price
per share of each such Assumed Company Option shall equal (x) the per share exercise price of each such Assumed Company
Option divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent); provided, however, that in no
case shall the assumption of an Assumed Company Option be performed in a manner that is not in material compliance with the
requirements of Sections 409A or 424(a) of the Code and other applicable Law. At the Effective Time, each Company Equity Plan
pursuant to which any Assumed Company Option has been granted shall be assumed by Parent.
(C)
Performance Company Option Conversion. The applicable performance metrics
of each Company PSO (or portion thereof) that is unvested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time for
which the Performance Period has not been completed as of the Effective Time will, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time,
be deemed achieved at “target” and be converted to a time-based vesting schedule that corresponds to each Performance
Period (the “Performance Company Option Conversion”). For the avoidance of doubt, for any Performance
Period that has been completed as of the Agreement Date, but for which the performance achievement has not yet been determined
as of the Agreement Date, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall determine the performance achievement
and the resulting number of shares of Company Common Stock eligible to vest on the applicable vesting date prior the Effective
Time in its sole discretion.
(v)
Company RSUs.
(A)
Vested Company RSUs. Each Company RSU (or portion thereof and including any
Company PSU after giving effect to the Performance Company RSU Conversion set forth in Section 1.5(a)(v)(C) below) that
is vested, unexpired, unsettled and outstanding as of the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company RSU”)
shall, by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company,
the holder of such Vested Company RSU or any other Person, be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the
Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any required withholding of Taxes. The Surviving Corporation shall
pay the amounts set forth in this Section 1.5(a)(v)(A) as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event
later than the later of the second regularly scheduled payroll date and the date that is 15 Business Days, in each case, after
the Effective Time).
(B) Unvested
Company RSUs. Each Company RSU (or portion thereof and including any Company PSU after giving effect to the Performance
Company RSU Conversion set forth in Section 1.5(a)(v)(C) below) held by a Continuing Employee that is unvested,
unexpired, unsettled and outstanding as of the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company RSU”)
shall, by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the
Company, the holder of such Company RSU or any other Person, be assumed by Parent and converted automatically at the
Effective Time into a corresponding restricted stock unit of Parent and subject to terms and conditions substantially
identical to those in effect at the Effective Time, including all vesting and applicable vesting acceleration provisions,
except as such terms and conditions are modified by Section 1.5(a)(v)(C) of
this Agreement (each such assumed Unvested Company RSU, an “Assumed Company RSU”), except that the
number of shares of common stock of Parent that will be subject to each such Assumed Company RSU shall be determined by
multiplying the number of Shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Company RSU by the Exchange Ratio (rounded
down to the nearest whole Share); provided, however, that in no case shall the assumption of an Assumed Company
RSU be performed in a manner that is not in material compliance with the requirements of Sections 409A or 424(a) of the Code
and other applicable Law. At the Effective Time, each Company Equity Plan pursuant to which any Assumed Company RSU has been
granted shall be assumed by Parent.
(C)
Performance Company RSU Conversion. The applicable performance metrics of
each Company PSU (or portion thereof) that is unvested, unexpired, and outstanding for which the Performance Period has not been
completed as of the Effective Time will, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, be deemed achieved at “target”
or the equivalent of “target” if such concept is not included in the applicable Company PSU, as determined by the Company
Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) utilizing the same methodology and standards used to calculate “target”
for the other Company PSUs, and be converted to a time-based vesting schedule that corresponds to each Performance Period (the
“Performance Company RSU Conversion”). For the avoidance of doubt, for any Performance Period that has
been completed as of the Agreement Date, but for which the performance achievement has not yet been determined as of the Agreement
Date, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall determine the performance achievement and the resulting
number of shares of Company Common Stock eligible to vest on the applicable vesting date prior the Effective Time in its sole discretion.
(vi)
Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the Agreement Date, the Company shall
take all actions with respect to the Company ESPP that are necessary to provide that: (A) with respect to each “Offering
Period” (as defined in the Company ESPP), (1) no participant may elect to participate in the Company ESPP after the Agreement
Date and (2) no participant may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on
the Agreement Date for the Offering Period, (B) the Offering Period shall terminate at the earlier of (1) the next currently scheduled
purchase date for such Offering Period and (2) the date that is no later than two Business Days immediately preceding the Effective
Time, and, subject to the consummation of the Merger, be the final Offering Period under the Company ESPP, (C) each participant’s
accumulated payroll deduction shall be used to purchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP on the earlier
of (1) the next currently scheduled purchase date for such Offering Period and (2) the date that is no later than two Business
Days prior to the Effective Time (and all participant contributions then in the Company ESPP shall be used to purchase Shares on
such date in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP as if such date was the last date of such Offering Period); and (D)
subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company shall terminate the Company ESPP as of or immediately prior to the Effective
Time. Notwithstanding any restrictions on transfer of stock in the Company ESPP, all Shares purchased under the Company ESPP shall
be treated identically to all other Shares in the Merger and the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration therefor in accordance
with this Section 1.5.
(vii)
Merger Sub. Each share of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Merger
Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(viii)
Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the administrator of
the Company Equity Plans shall take any and all actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing provisions of this
Section 1.5.
(b) If, during the period from the Agreement Date through the Effective Time, any stock split,
division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization
or other similar transaction occurs with respect to the outstanding Shares, or if a stock dividend is declared by the Company during
such period, or a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then all calculations provided for
that are based on a number of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, including the Per Share
Merger Consideration, shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement
prior to such event.
Section 1.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded
appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares,
“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted
into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, and shall instead represent the right to receive payment of the fair
value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective
Time, (a) all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled, extinguished and cease to exist and (b) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall
be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives,
withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then the
right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed
to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Per Share
Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section
1.8(g). The Company shall give Parent prompt notice (and in any event within one Business Day) of any demands received by the
Company for appraisal of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and
received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate
in and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time (unless required by applicable
Law), the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands
or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing. Any portion
of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent to pay for Shares that have become Dissenting
Shares shall be returned to Parent upon demand.
Section 1.7
Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all
Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist
in exchange for the consideration issued pursuant to Section 1.5, and all holders of Shares that were outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as Company Stockholders except as provided for in Section 1.5
and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Shares outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Shares shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time.
If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Paying Agent or to the Surviving Corporation
or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be cancelled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.8.
Section 1.8
Exchange of Certificates.
(a)
On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company or such other reputable bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent
in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) and, in connection therewith, shall
enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent
shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make all payments pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iii). The cash amounts
so deposited with the Paying Agent are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”
(b)
As promptly as practicable (but in no event later than three Business Days) after the Effective
Time, the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Company Stock Certificate
or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case,
which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this
Agreement:
(i)
a letter of transmittal, which shall be in customary form and specify that delivery shall
be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery
of the Company Stock Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be, to the Paying Agent, and shall otherwise
be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent, the Company and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree, acting reasonably;
and
(ii)
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Stock Certificates or the
transfer of Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration.
(c)
Upon the surrender of Company Stock Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares for
cancellation to the Paying Agent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form in accordance
with the instructions thereto, and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, with respect to such Company Stock
Certificates or an agent’s message in the case of a book entry transfer of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Company
Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Share formerly
represented by such Company Stock Certificates and for each Book-Entry Share. Any Company Stock Certificates and Book-Entry
Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person
other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Company Stock Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent
of payment that the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for
transfer and shall be accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer, and the Person requesting
such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration
to a Person other than the registered holder of the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. Payment of the
Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry
Shares are registered. Until surrendered or transferred (as applicable) as contemplated hereby, each Company Stock Certificate
or Book-Entry Share in respect of Shares converted into the right to receive Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section
1.5(a)(iii) shall be deemed, from and at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Per
Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) The Per Share Merger Consideration paid and issued upon the surrender or transfer
(as applicable) of any Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.8 shall
be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry
Share and, in the case of a Company Stock Certificate, the Shares formerly represented by it.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.8, if any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen
or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation (including if reasonably required by the Paying
Agent) the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that
may be made against it with respect to such Company Stock Certificate, the Paying Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination
of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 1.8(h), Parent) shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Company Stock Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5.
(f)
Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Shares as of the
one year anniversary of the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore
surrendered their Shares in accordance with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their
claims for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts
would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, the property of Parent or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(g)
Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and any of their agents
or Affiliates, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant
to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign
Tax Law or under any other applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate
Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to
whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(h)
Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder
of Shares or to any other Person with respect to any cash amounts properly delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law.
Section 1.9
Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action
is determined by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or
to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the
Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub,
in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

(x) shall not apply with respect to Section 2.2) or (y) the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to
Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure
Letter”) (with the disclosure in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter being deemed to
qualify or apply to other sections and subsections of this Article II to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on
its face based on such disclosure that such disclosure should qualify or apply to such other sections and subsections), the
Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

manner in which its business is currently being conducted and (ii) own, lease and use its rights, assets and properties in the
manner in which its rights, assets and properties are currently owned, leased or used, except, in each case, as would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company (in jurisdictions that recognize
the following concepts) is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, and is in good standing, under the laws of such jurisdictions
where the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or use of its assets and properties requires such qualification, except
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(b)
The Company has made available to Parent true and complete copies of the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Company Certificate”), and the Company’s Bylaws,
as amended (the “Company Bylaws”), and all other Company Organizational Documents, in each case in full

the Subsidiaries of the Company are not in violation of their respective organizational or governing documents in any material
respect.
(c)
Section 2.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list

the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation and (ii) has all necessary corporate (or similar) power and authority
to (A) conduct its business in the manner in which its business is currently being conducted and (B) own, lease and use its
assets and properties in the manner in which its assets and properties are currently owned, leased or used, except, in each case,

owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, equity interest, voting interest, membership interest, partnership interest, joint
venture interest or other equity or voting interest of any nature in any other Person (or any interest convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for the foregoing) (such interests collectively, “Equity Interests”), other than Equity

of capital stock or other Equity Interests of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or Equity
Interests, or (ii) redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any such shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests. From
the close of business on the Capitalization Date to the Agreement Date, the Company has not issued any Shares except upon the exercise

for securities having the right to vote) (“Voting Company Debt”) with the Company Stockholders on any
matter.
(f)
There are no voting agreements, voting trusts, stockholders’ agreements, proxies or
other agreements or understandings to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting of the

Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section 2.3
Corporate Authority.
(a)
The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to which it is a party and, subject to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval,
to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger. The execution and
delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance of the Company
of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions, including the Merger, have
been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, except for obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval,
no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to adopt or authorize this Agreement or to consummate the
Transactions other than, with respect to the Merger, the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware pursuant to the DGCL. This Agreement has been validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the
due authorization, execution and delivery by each of Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’
rights generally, and general equitable principles. The Company Board at a meeting duly called and held has unanimously adopted
resolutions that: (i) determined that each of the Transactions, individually and in the aggregate, are fair to and in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement and the Transactions (including the execution,
delivery and performance thereof) and declared it advisable that the Company enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions
in accordance with the DGCL and (iii) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement (it being understood
that nothing in this clause (iii) shall in any way limit the Company Board’s rights under Section 4.4).
(b)
Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set
forth in Section 3.9(b), the Company Board has taken all appropriate actions so that the restrictions on business combinations
contained in Section 203 of the DGCL will not apply with respect to, or as a result of, the execution of this Agreement or

III.
Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub
Parent and Merger Sub
hereby, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Company as follows:
Section 3.1
Corporate Existence.
(a) Each
of Parent and Merger Sub is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation,
and has all requisite corporate or organizational, as the case may be, power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Parent and Merger
Sub is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent a concept of “good standing” is applicable
in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States) in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its
properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or
in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The
certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, are in full force and effect. Neither Parent
nor Merger Sub is in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, except where such violation would not reasonably
be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.2 Corporate
Authority. Each of Parent and Merger Sub have all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and
to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger. The board of directors of Parent has adopted resolutions approving this
Agreement and the Transactions. The board of directors of Merger Sub has unanimously adopted resolutions that: (a) approved
this Agreement and the Transactions and declared it advisable to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions in
accordance with the DGCL and (b) recommended that Merger Sub’s sole stockholder adopt this Agreement. Parent, as the
sole stockholder of Merger Sub, has executed a written consent, effective immediately following the execution of this Agreement,
adopting this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub and the other Transaction Documents
to which either is a party, the performance of Parent and Merger Sub of their obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation
by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions, including the Merger, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate
action, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or Merger Sub are necessary to adopt or authorize this Agreement
or to consummate the Transactions (other than the adoption of this Agreement by Parent, as Merger Sub’s sole stockholder,
and the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger as required by the DGCL). This
Agreement has been validly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub, as the case may be, and, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery by the Company constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub enforceable against
Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and
general equitable principles.
Section 3.3

Governmental Authorization is or will be required on the part of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, except (i) any filings required under
the rules, regulations and policies of Nasdaq, (ii) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware, (iii) for required Consents under any applicable Antitrust Laws, and (iv) such other Governmental
Authorizations, the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub, the performance by Parent and Merger Sub of its respective
obligations hereunder and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions do not and will not (i) violate,
contravene or conflict with any provision of the respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws or similar organizational documents
of Parent or Merger Sub, (ii) result in any violation or breach of or constitute any default (with or without notice or lapse
of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation
or a loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien under any Contract to which Parent and/or Merger Sub is subject
or is a party, or (iii) assuming that all Governmental Authorizations described in Section 3.3(a) have been obtained
and all filings described in such Section have been made, violate, conflict with or result in any breach under any provision
of any Law applicable to Parent or any of its properties or assets, except, in the cases of subclauses (ii) and (iii),
where such violation, breach, conflict, default, right of termination or cancellation, acceleration, loss of benefit, failure
to obtain Consent would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.4 Litigation.
Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates is subject to any Order of or agreement with any Governmental Authority that would reasonably
be expected to prevent or materially interfere with or delay the consummation of any of the Transactions or would reasonably be
expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. No Proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing
against Parent or any of its Affiliates which would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(including any amounts payable in respect of Company Options, Company PSOs, Company RSUs, Company PSUs and Company Warrants under
this Agreement) and all associated fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Merger. Any failure to have all such funds
available shall constitute an Intentional Breach of this Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that their obligations hereunder
are not subject to any conditions regarding the ability of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person to obtain financing.
Section 3.6 Merger Sub. The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares

Sub is, and at the Effective Time will be, owned directly or indirectly by Parent.
Section 3.7 Parent

for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or any other Required Company Filing, will not, at the time such documents are filed with
the SEC, at any time it is amended or supplemented or at the time it is first published, sent or provided to the Company Stockholders,

to Parent and Merger Sub in compliance with applicable Law, and otherwise the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to institute appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, to the extent practicable in the circumstances, (B) the Company
shall not be required to afford access or furnish information to the extent such information relates to the applicable
portions of the minutes of the meetings of the Company Board (including any presentations or other materials prepared by or

Section 4.3
Company Stockholder Approval.
(a)
Proxy Statement and Other SEC Filings.
(i)
Promptly (and in no event not more than 30 days) following the Agreement Date, (A) the
Company will prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”)
relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting and (B) Parent and Merger Sub shall provide to the Company all information concerning
themselves and their Affiliates that is reasonably required to be included in the Proxy Statement and shall provide such other
assistance in the preparation of the Proxy Statement as may be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time. Subject to
Section 4.4, the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall provide
Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments or revisions made by Parent and
its counsel thereon.
(ii)
If the Company determines that it is required to file any document other than the Proxy
Statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger pursuant to applicable Law (such document, as amended or supplemented, an
“Other Required Company Filing”), then the Company shall promptly prepare and file such Other Required
Company Filing with the SEC. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to
form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq. The Company

filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any document required to be filed by Parent,
Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates with the SEC in connection with the Merger or the Company Stockholder
Meeting (a “Required Parent Filing”). If at any time prior to the
Company Stockholder Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates
should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, that should (in the good
faith judgment of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand) be set forth in an amendment or
supplement to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, so
that such filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, then the Party that discovers such information will promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or
supplement to such filing describing such information will be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate
Party and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company Stockholders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.3, except in connection with a Change of Board
Recommendation in accordance with Section 4.4, or as required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff (as determined
in good faith by the Company Board after consulting with outside legal counsel), no amendment or supplement to the Proxy
Statement or to an Other Required Company Filing shall be made by the Company without the approval of Parent, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(iv)
The Company and its Subsidiaries, will not communicate in writing with the SEC or its staff
with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review
and comment on such written communication and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments or revisions made by such Parent
and its counsel.
(v)
The Company will advise Parent promptly after the Company receives notice of (A) any
receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company
Filing, (B) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing,
or (C) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.
(vi)
Subject to applicable Law, the Company will cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated
to the Company Stockholders no later than the fifth Business Day following the filing thereof with the SEC and confirmation from
the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement, which confirmation will be deemed
to occur if the SEC has not notified the Company prior to the end of the 10th calendar day after filing the preliminary Proxy Statement
that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement.
(b)
Company Stockholder Meeting.
(i) The
Company, acting through the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), shall promptly following receipt of
confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement (which
confirmation will be deemed to occur if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company prior to the end of the 10th
calendar day after filing the preliminary Proxy Statement that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement),
take all action required under the DGCL, the Company Organizational Documents and the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq
necessary to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders
for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL (including any adjournment or
postponement thereof, the “Company Stockholder Meeting”), with such record date being selected
after reasonable consultation with Parent and such meeting date being held no later than 45 days after the
dissemination of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders in accordance with Section
4.3(a)(vi) (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). Within five (5) calendar days after
the date of this Agreement (and thereafter as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with Parent), the Company
shall conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act for a record date for the
Company Stockholder Meeting that is 20 Business Days after the date of such “broker search.” Once established,
the Company shall not change the record date or the meeting date for the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior
written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or as expressly required by
applicable Law or as may be required in connection with any postponement or adjournment of the Company Stockholder Meeting.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing will prevent the Company, after consultation with Parent,
from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting if on one or more occasions (A) there are holders of
insufficient Shares present or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company
Stockholder Meeting, (B) the Company Board has determined in good faith after consultation with, and taking into account
the advice of, its outside legal counsel that it is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by
applicable Law, Order or a request from the SEC or its staff, (C) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional
proxies to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval or (D) any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of
their respective Affiliates, officers or directors has been discovered by the Company or Parent, and the Company Board has
determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that such information is required under applicable
Law to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, such that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any
untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, at the time and in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not false or
misleading, in order to correct such information and file an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information
with the SEC; provided that, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company Stockholder Meeting will not be postponed or adjourned by more than 10
Business Days at a time.
(ii)
The Company shall solicit from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption
of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL and, unless the Company Board has effected a Change of Board Recommendation in accordance
with Section 4.4, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company
Stockholder Meeting. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VI, the Company shall take all action
required under the DGCL, the Company Organizational Documents and the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq necessary to establish
a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of voting upon the
adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL, whether or not the Company Board at any time subsequent to the Agreement
Date shall have effected a Change of Board Recommendation or otherwise shall have determined that this Agreement is no longer advisable.

to the other provisions of this Section 4.4, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their
respective directors, officers and employees, and shall direct and cause its other Company Representatives to, immediately
cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to an
Acquisition Proposal and shall immediately terminate access of such Persons to any electronic datarooms maintained by the
Company. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days of the Agreement Date) deliver a written
notice to each such Person to the effect that the Company is ending all such solicitations, communications, activities,
discussions or negotiations with such Person, effective on the Agreement Date, which written notice shall also
instruct each Person to promptly return or destroy all non-public information previously furnished to such Person or any
Company Representatives by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
agreed that any violation or breach of the restrictions or obligations set forth in this Section
4.4 by any Subsidiary of the Company or any Company Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acting on
behalf of or at the direction of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of Section 4.4
by the Company.
(b)
Except as permitted by this Section 4.4, prior to the Effective Time, the Company
agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to,
and the Company shall direct and cause Company Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:
(i)
initiate, solicit, knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of providing information)
the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or otherwise knowingly assist or participate
in the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal;
(ii)
engage in, participate or continue discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect
to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (it being understood that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company or the
Company Representatives from making such Person aware of the restrictions of this Section 4.4 in response to the receipt
of an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry);
(iii)
enter into any merger agreement, letter of intent, term sheet, agreement in principle, memorandum
of understanding, share purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement, share exchange agreement or other similar agreement constituting
or relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (an “Alternative Acquisition
Agreement”) or enter into any Contract or agreement requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate
the Transactions;
(iv)
terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant permission under, any confidentiality
agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party;
(v)
furnish to any Person (other than to Parent, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent or Merger
Sub) or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) any non-public information relating to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford to any Person access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other
non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any
designees of Parent or Merger Sub), in any such case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or under
circumstances that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal except as permitted by Section 4.4(c)
below;
(vi)
take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Law, or any restrictive provision
of the Company Organizational Documents inapplicable to any Acquisition Proposal or Person making an Acquisition Proposal; or
(vii)
resolve or agree or publicly propose to take any of the foregoing actions.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time following the Agreement Date and prior to obtaining the Company
Stockholder Approval, in response to a written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of the terms of this Section
4.4 (a “Qualifying Acquisition Proposal”) that the
Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with one or more of its financial advisors and with its outside
legal counsel) that such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a
Superior Proposal and that the failure to take the action described in clause (i) or (ii) below would be inconsistent with
its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, the Company and the Company Representatives
shall be permitted to (i) furnish to the Person that has made the Qualifying Acquisition Proposal (and such
Person’s representatives) information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and/or afford access to the
business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, in each case pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, provided that the Company shall
substantially concurrently provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to (or given
access to) any Person which was not previously provided or made available to Parent and (ii) engage or participate in
discussions or negotiations with the Person (or such Person’s representatives) that has made the Qualifying Acquisition
Proposal; provided that prior to or concurrently with the Company first taking such actions with respect to a
Qualifying Acquisition Proposal as described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall provide written notice to Parent
of such determination of the Company Board as provided for in this Section 4.4(c).
(d)
The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) (i) provide Parent written
notice of the receipt by the Company of any Acquisition Inquiries or Acquisition Proposals and (ii) disclose to Parent the material
terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, including the identity of the party making such inquiry
or proposal a copy of all documents (if in writing) or a written summary of material terms (if oral) with respect to such Acquisition
Inquiry or Acquisition Proposal. The Company will keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects as promptly as reasonably
practicable (and in any event within 24 hours of receipt, provision or occurrence (as practicable)) of any material developments
with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (and any subsequent amendments or modifications thereto) including
any change in the material terms and conditions thereof. The Company shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, and in any event
within 24 hours following a determination by the Company Board that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, notify Parent
of such determination.
(e) Except
as permitted by Section 4.4(f), prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board (or any duly
authorized committee thereof) shall not (i) (1) withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify or publicly propose
to withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation,
(2) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (3) approve, adopt, endorse, or
recommend to the Company Stockholders, or publicly propose to approve, adopt, endorse, declare advisable or recommend to the
Company Stockholders, any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (or the approval or adoption thereof), (4) fail to
publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written request by Parent
following an Acquisition Proposal (provided that Parent may only make such request once with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal that has not been amended with respect to financial or other material terms) (other than of the type
referred to in the following clause (5)) (or material modification thereto) becoming publicly known or (5) fail to recommend,
in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, against any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D
under the Exchange Act within ten Business Days after commencement of such Acquisition Proposal or if the Company Stockholder
Meeting is scheduled to be held within ten (10) Business Days from the date of such public disclosure or commencement, as
applicable, fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation promptly and in any event prior to the date which is
two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled to be held or (ii) approve,
recommend, authorize, cause, permit, resolve to allow, or publicly announce an intention to approve or recommend that the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement (actions prohibited by this Section
4.4(e) being referred to as a “Change of Board Recommendation”).
(f)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board may, prior
to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.4, (x) effect a
Change of Board Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal and/or (y) validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 6.1(e), if (i) the Company receives a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in
good faith (after consultation with one or more of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) is a Superior Proposal and
(ii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to effect
a Change of Board Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(e) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary
duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law; provided that the Company Board may not effect a Change of Board
Recommendation pursuant to the foregoing clause (x) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) unless:
(i)
the Company has complied in all material respects with this Section 4.4 with respect
to such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal;
(ii)
the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least four (4) Business
Days in advance (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”), of its intention to effect such a Change of
Board Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal (which notice itself shall not constitute a Change of Board Recommendation)
or validly terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal,
which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person or group
making such Superior Proposal, and shall have contemporaneously provided a copy of the relevant proposed definitive transaction
agreements with the Person making such Superior Proposal;
(iii)
if requested by Parent, the Company shall have negotiated with, and shall have caused the
Company Representatives to negotiate with, Parent in good faith during the Superior Proposal Notice Period in order to enable Parent
to modify the terms of this Agreement in such a manner that would eliminate the need for taking such action (and would cause such
Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal) as determined by the Company Board in good faith (after consultation
with one or more of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel);
(iv)
following the Company’s and the Company Representatives’ negotiation in good
faith with Parent, to the extent such negotiation is requested by Parent, during the Superior Proposal Notice Period and after
considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications made or agreed to
by Parent, if any, the Company Board (after consultation with one or more of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel)
shall have determined in good faith that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood and
agreed that any change to the financial or other material terms of an Acquisition Proposal that was previously the subject of a
notice hereunder shall require a new notice to Parent as provided above, but with respect to any such subsequent notices the Superior
Proposal Notice Period shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days rather than four (4) Business Days); and
(v)
in the event of any termination of this Agreement in order to cause or permit the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, the Company
will have validly terminated (or shall concurrently terminate) this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1(e), including
paying the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 6.2(b)(i).
(g)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to obtaining the Company
Stockholder Approval and subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.4, the Company Board may effect a Change of Board
Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with one or
more of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that its failure to effect a Change of Board Recommendation would be
inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law; provided that the Company Board
may not effect such Change of Board Recommendation unless:
(i)
the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least four (4) Business
Days in advance (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), of its intention to effect such a Change of
Board Recommendation (which notice itself shall not constitute a Change of Board Recommendation), which notice shall specify the
details of such Intervening Event and the basis upon which the Company Board intends to effect a Change of Board Recommendation;
(ii)
if requested by Parent, the Company shall have negotiated with, and shall have caused the
Company Representatives to negotiate with, Parent in good faith during the Intervening Event Notice Period in order to enable Parent
to modify the terms of this Agreement in such a manner that would eliminate the need for taking such action as determined by the
Company Board in good faith (after consultation with one or more of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel); and
(iii)
following the Company’s and the Company’s Representatives’ negotiation
in good faith with Parent, to the extent such negotiation is requested by Parent, during the Intervening Event Notice Period and
after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendment or modifications made or agreed
to by Parent, if any, the Company Board (after consultation with one or more of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel)
shall have determined in good faith that the failure to make a Change of Board Recommendation in connection therewith would be
inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law.
(h)
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing
to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9, Item 1012 of Regulation M-A
or otherwise complying with Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012 under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company
Stockholders if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure
to do so would be inconsistent with applicable Law, provided that no Change of Board Recommendation shall be made unless
the Company shall have first complied in all material respects with its obligations under the other provisions of this Section
4.4. In addition, none of the following shall be deemed to be a Change of Board Recommendation: (i) a “stop, look
and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (provided
that the Company has not withdrawn, changed, amended, modified or qualified the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse
to Parent or Merger Sub in such communication), and/or (ii) any statement that includes an express rejection of any applicable
Acquisition Proposal and an express reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation. In addition, nothing contained in this
Agreement shall prohibit the Company from making any other disclosure to the Company Stockholders if the Company Board determines
in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its
fiduciary duties or applicable Law, provided that any such disclosure that would otherwise constitute a Change of Board
Recommendation (after giving effect to the immediately preceding sentence) shall be made only in compliance with the other provisions
of this Section 4.4.
(i) No
Change of Board Recommendation shall change (or be deemed to change) the approval of the Transactions by the Company Board
for purposes of any Takeover Law (or the applicability of any Takeover Law to the Transactions).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, any action that may be taken by, and all obligations and duties
of, the Company Board under this Section 4.4 may also be taken by and shall bind a
duly constituted committee thereof.
Section 4.5
Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.
(a)
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any Consents of third parties with respect to any Company Material Contracts as may be necessary or appropriate for the
consummation of the Transactions or required by the terms of any such Company Material Contract as a result of the execution, performance
or consummation of the Transactions; in each case to the extent reasonably requested in writing by Parent, including without limitation
the Consents set forth on Section 4.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to which the Company shall consult
and cooperate with Parent in obtaining. In the event that such third-party Consent described in this Section 4.5(a)
shall not be obtained, the Company and Parent shall determine reasonably and jointly whether to take any further actions with respect
to such Company Material Contracts; provided that without its consent (such consent to be given or withheld in its sole
discretion), the Company shall not be required to pay any amount or change Contract terms or its business practices in order to
obtain any such Consent (except to the extent that such payment or change is contingent on consummation of the Transactions). Except
as set forth in Section 5.1, in no event shall the receipt of third-party Consents, if any, be a condition to the consummation
of the Merger.
(b)
Subject to Section 4.5(c) and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company and Parent agree, and Parent and the Company each agree to cause its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts
to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable
Law to consummate and make effective the Transactions and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions
to each Party’s obligation to consummate the Transactions as set forth in Section 5.1 to be satisfied as promptly
as practicable (but in no event later than the Outside Date), including taking all actions necessary (i) to obtain all Governmental
Authorizations required for the consummation of the Merger, (ii) to effect all such necessary registrations and filings with
the Governmental Authorities in order to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other Transactions, (iii) to comply
with all requirements under applicable Law that may be imposed on it with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions
and (iv) to avoid a Proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions
or to defend or contest any Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, brought under, pursuant to or relating to any regulatory
Law challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions. The Parties shall cooperate fully with each other to the
extent necessary in connection with the foregoing.
(c) In
connection with the efforts referenced in Section 4.5(b) and without limiting the generality of the undertaking
pursuant thereto, Parent and the Company shall promptly make all filings that may be required for the satisfaction of the
condition set forth in Section 5.1(c)(i) by each of them in connection with the consummation of the Transactions,
which, in any event, shall be made within 10 Business Days following the Agreement Date with respect to the initial filings
required under the HSR Act. In addition, Parent and the Company agree, and shall each cause each of its Subsidiaries, to
cooperate and to use their reasonable best efforts and take all actions necessary to obtain any Governmental Authorizations
required for the consummation of the Merger as contemplated by Section 4.5(b) above as promptly as possible, including
to make all other necessary filings, notifications or registrations within 15 Business Days of the Agreement Date to obtain
all Governmental Authorizations set forth on Section 5.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, to respond as promptly
as practicable to any requests for information from any Governmental Authority and otherwise comply with any inquiry or
request from any Governmental Authority as promptly as practicable (and in each case any such information shall be in
substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws), and to contest and resist
any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned
any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) (an “Antitrust Order”)
that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement
under any Antitrust Law. Each Party shall furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other Party
may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental
Authority. Neither Party shall give Consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or withdraw its notification
and report form pursuant to the HSR Act or any other filing made pursuant to any Antitrust Law or other regulatory Law unless
the other Party has given its prior written Consent to such extension or delay (which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed).
(d)
Parent and the Company will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good
faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other in advance (to the extent legally permissible), any
analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in
connection with Proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection
with this Agreement and the Transactions, the Parties agree to (i) give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings
with any Governmental Authority relating to any Antitrust Laws, (ii) give each other an opportunity to participate in each
of such meetings, (iii) give each other reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental
Authority relating to any Antitrust Laws, (iv) if any Governmental Authority initiates a substantive oral communication regarding
any Antitrust Laws, to promptly notify the other Party of the substance of such communication, (v) provide each other with
a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon all substantive written communications (including any analyses, presentations,
memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals) with a Governmental Authority regarding any Antitrust Laws and (vi) provide
each other with copies of all substantive written communications from any Governmental Authority relating to any Antitrust Laws.
Any disclosures or provision of copies by one Party to the other may be made on an outside counsel basis, if appropriate.
(e)
Each of Parent and the Company shall notify and keep the other advised as to (i) any
material communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the Transactions and (ii) any litigation or administrative
Proceeding pending and known to such Party, or to its knowledge threatened, that challenges, or would challenge, the Transactions.
The Company and Parent shall not take any action inconsistent with their obligations under this Agreement or, without prejudice
to the Company’s or Parent’s rights under this Agreement, that would materially hinder or delay the consummation of
the Transactions.
(f) If
any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any Antitrust Law or if any suit is instituted or
threatened by any Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the Transactions as violating any Antitrust
Law or if a filing pursuant to Section 4.5(b) is reasonably likely to be rejected or conditioned by a Governmental
Authority, then each of the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections or challenges as such
Governmental Authority or other Person may have to such transactions so as to permit consummation of the Transactions as soon
as practicable and in any event prior to the Outside Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use its and their reasonable best efforts, and promptly take any and all steps
necessary, to avoid or eliminate any concerns on the part of, or to satisfy any conditions imposed by, any Governmental
Authority under any Antitrust Law or any other Person so as to enable the Parties to consummate the Transactions as promptly
as practicable, and in any event prior to the Outside Date; provided that, in no event will Parent or its Subsidiaries
be obligated to (i) propose, negotiate, offer or commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or
otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or disposition of any assets or businesses of Parent or its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, now owned or hereafter sought to be acquired, (ii) terminate or amend any existing relationships or
contractual rights or obligations or (iii) offer or commit to take any action that would limit or modify
Parent’s rights of ownership in, or ability to conduct the business of, any of its operations, divisions, businesses,
product lines, customers or assets, including, after the Closing, the business of the Company,
if any such foregoing action, in each of (i)-(iii), (A) would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate,
(1) materially reduce the reasonably anticipated benefits to Parent of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (2)
adversely impact Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries other than, after the Closing, the Company and the
Company’s Subsidiaries or (3) impact the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries in a manner that is
material to the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (B) is not contingent on the consummation of the
Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party shall keep the other Party informed of all material matters,
discussions and activities relating to any of the matters contemplated by this Section 4.5(f).
(g)
Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not make an initial filing under the HSR Act with respect
to any transaction other than the Transactions prior to the initial filing with respect to the Transactions to be made under the
HSR Act pursuant to Section 4.5(c).
(h)
No action by the Company taken in compliance with Section 4.4 will be considered
a violation of this Section 4.5.
Section 4.6
Public Announcements. Parent and the Company will consult with each other
and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or public announcement relating to this Agreement
or the Transactions, and shall not, and shall not permit their Affiliates to, issue any such press release or public announcement
prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with
any national securities exchange or as may be requested by a Governmental Authority, as determined in good faith by the Party making
such public announcement or issuing such press release. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree that the initial press release
announcing the Transactions and the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint press release in the form heretofore
agreed to by the Company and Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6, (i) each of the
Parties may issue press releases or public announcements concerning the Transactions that are not materially inconsistent with
previous press releases or public announcements made by Parent or the Company in compliance with this Section 4.6 and do
not reveal material, non-public information regarding the other parties, the Merger or the other Transactions, (ii) each
of the Parties, their Affiliates, the Company Representatives and the Parent Representatives may make public statements in response
to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference
calls, so long as any such statements are not materially inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public
statements made by Parent or the Company in compliance with this Section 4.6 and do not reveal material, non-public
information regarding the other parties, the Merger or the other Transactions, (iii) the restrictions set forth in this Section
4.6 shall not apply to any press release or public announcement issued or proposed to be issued in connection with, or in response
to, an Acquisition Proposal, Intervening Event, Superior Proposal or a Change of Board Recommendation but in each case such release
or announcement shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 4.4. To the extent that any provision of the
Confidentiality Agreement is in conflict with this Section 4.6, such provision shall be deemed amended and superseded by
this Section 4.6, mutatis mutandis, and in addition the restrictions thereunder with respect to “Transaction
Information” as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement and the restrictions contained in Section 11 of the Confidentiality
Agreement will, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, terminate and be of no further force and effect.
Section 4.7
Employee Benefit Matters.
(a)
With respect to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in which any director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(the “Company Employees”) will participate effective as of or after the Effective Time (collectively,
“New Plans”), subject to applicable Law and applicable Tax qualification requirements, Parent shall,
or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize all service of the Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
that is reflected in the books and records of the Company, as the case may be, for vesting, eligibility and level of benefits purposes
(but not for accrual purposes, except for vacation and severance) in any New Plan in which such Company Employees will be eligible
to participate after the Effective Time, in each case except to the extent that recognizing such service would result in a duplication
of benefits. To the extent any Company Employee participates in a New Plan that is a welfare plan or arrangement of Parent or any
of its Subsidiaries following the Closing Date (a “Parent Welfare Plan”), Parent and any of its Subsidiaries
will use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and any insurer, third party administrator
or service provider under the applicable Parent Welfare Plan, to cause all (i) pre-existing condition limitations which
otherwise would be applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents to be waived to the extent satisfied under
a Company Benefit Plan comparable to such Parent Welfare Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date or, if later, immediately prior
to such Company Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Welfare Plan, (ii) participation waiting periods
under each Parent Welfare Plan that would otherwise be applicable to such Company Employee to be waived to the same extent waived
or satisfied under the Company Benefit Plan comparable to such Parent Welfare Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date or, if
later, immediately prior to such Company Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Welfare Plan and (iii) co-payments
and deductibles paid by Company Employees in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs to be credited for purposes of satisfying
any applicable deductible or out of pocket requirement under any such Parent Welfare Plan.
(b) For
any Company Employee that, as of the Effective Time, remains an employee of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, or any
of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates (each a “Continuing Employee”), Parent shall, and
shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, for a period of 12 months following the Effective Time, provide for (i) at
least the same level of base salary or base hourly wage, as applicable, that was provided to each such Continuing Employee
immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) a target cash bonus percentage as provided on Section 4.7(b)(ii)
of the Company Disclosure Letter, (iii) employee benefits (other than equity-based awards, profit sharing plans,
other incentive plans and defined benefit or non-qualified arrangements) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than
the employee benefits (other than equity-based awards, profit sharing plans, other incentive plans and defined benefit or
non-qualified arrangements) provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and (iv) and upon a termination
without cause of a Continuing Employee, the severance benefits set forth on Section 4.7(b)(iv) of the Company
Disclosure Letter applicable to such Continuing Employee.
(c) In
addition to the foregoing, the Company and Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent shall use reasonable best efforts and take any
action that is mutually determined in good faith to be reasonably necessary to mitigate and/or minimize the impact of the tax
consequences of Section 280G of the Code (including as a result of the Transactions under all employment, severance and
termination agreements, other compensation arrangements and Company Benefit Plans) on any individual that is regarded as a
“disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.280G-1), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company, Parent or
any Subsidiary of Parent shall provide any indemnity or gross-up obligation for any excise taxes or penalties imposed
under Section 4999 of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of foreign, state or local Law relating to Tax).
(d) Prior
to the Effective Time, if requested by Parent in writing, the Company shall (x) take such actions and adopt such necessary
resolutions to terminate, effective no later than the day prior to the Closing Date, the 401(k) plan of the Company (the
“401(k) Plan”) and/or (y) take such actions as Parent may reasonably request so as to enable the
Surviving Corporation to effect such actions relating to any Company Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 409A of
the Code as Parent may deem necessary or appropriate. If Parent requests that the Company terminate the 401(k) Plan, no later
than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent an executed copy of the resolutions
adopted by the board of directors of the 401(k) Plan sponsor (or appropriate governing body) terminating the 401(k) Plan. The
form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to Parent’s review and approval prior to adoption, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Prior to the effective date of the termination of the 401(k) Plan, the Company
shall take any and all actions as may be reasonably required, including amending to the 401(k) Plan and/or the 401(k)
Plan’s policies and procedures, for the 401(k) Plan to permit each 401(k) Plan participant who has a loan outstanding
at the Closing Date to make arrangements to continue to repay such loan in accordance with the original amortization schedule
until such time as the participant’s account balance is distributed.
(e)
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions (including obtaining consent
from participants, if required) and adopt such necessary resolutions to terminate, effective no later than the day prior to the
Closing Date, each Company Benefit Plan set forth on Section 4.7(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter.
(f)
This Section 4.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of
the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 4.7, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other
Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 4.7. Nothing contained herein
shall (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Benefit Plan, (ii) give any third party any right to enforce
the provisions of this Section 4.7 or (iii) require Parent or any of its Affiliates to retain the employment of any
particular Company Employee or continue any particular Company Benefit Plan or New Plan.
(g) Following
the Agreement Date, each of Parent and the Company (and their respective Affiliates) will use reasonable best efforts in all
matters necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.7 and the requirements of any applicable
Law and will provide, and will cause each of their respective representatives, including legal, human resources and
regulatory compliance personnel, to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by the other Party in that regard,
including, (i) cooperating and providing each other with all necessary and reasonable assistance and information to
ensure that any works councils or committees, trade unions and/or employee representatives applicable to the Continuing
Employees are provided with the information required in order for proper consultation, notification and other required
processes under applicable Law to take place, and (ii) exchanging information and data, including reports prepared in
connection with bonus plan participation and related data of Continuing Employees, relating to workers’ compensation,
employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages, including information and data that are necessary to support or
perform any compensation consultant process or that is otherwise reasonably requested in connection with any compensation
consultant process (in each case, except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law or to the extent that such information
and data relates to performance ratings or assessments of employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries), making any and all
required filings and notices, making any and all required communications with Company Employees and obtaining any
Governmental Authorizations required hereunder. Such cooperation will include the provision of any information and
consultation required by applicable Law, the terms of any Contract, or as reasonably requested by the other Party. Each of
Parent and the Company will make available its representatives at such times and in such places as the other Party may
reasonably request for purposes of discussions with representatives of any such works council, economic committee, union or
similar body.

to each holder of an Assumed Company Option and Assumed Company RSU an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights
pursuant to such Assumed Company Option and Assumed Company RSU.
Section 4.9
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a)
For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation
shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’
respective present or former directors and officers (in each case, solely to the extent acting in such capacity) (each an “Indemnified
Person,” and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) against all reasonable and documented
costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and settlement amounts paid in connection with any pending or threatened Proceeding (whether arising before or after the Effective
Time), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in each case solely to the extent arising out of or relating to
any action or omission in their capacity as an officer or director occurring before the Effective Time, in each case to the fullest
extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable Law. To the fullest extent the Company would have been permitted
by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, advance expenses (including
reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) of each Indemnified Person in the defense of any Proceeding in advance of the
final disposition of any such Proceeding, subject to receipt from the Indemnified Person to whom such expenses are advanced of
an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined in accordance with applicable Law that such Indemnified Person
is not entitled to indemnification. In the event any Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person and in which indemnification
is sought by such Indemnified Person under this Section 4.9(a), (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time, (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled
to retain separate counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such Proceeding,
(iii) neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
such Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise or consent relates only to monetary damages or includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents thereto
and (iv) the Surviving Corporation shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Person in the defense of any such matter.
The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 4.9 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under
the Company Certificate, the Company Bylaws, and any indemnification agreements with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in
effect as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “D&O Indemnification Agreements”) and shall not
limit or modify any rights of any Indemnified Person pursuant to any D&O Indemnification Agreements.
(b) For
a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the
Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless (including advancement of expenses) all Indemnified Persons to the same
extent such Persons are indemnified as of the Agreement Date by the Company pursuant to applicable Law, the Company
Certificate, the Company Bylaws and the applicable D&O Indemnification Agreements, arising out of acts or omissions in
their capacity as directors or officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries occurring at or prior to the Effective
Time.
(c)
For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable
with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Company for periods at
or prior to the Effective Time than were set forth in the Company Certificate and the Company Bylaws prior to the Effective Time.
To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the D&O Indemnification Agreements shall continue in full force and effect in accordance
with their terms following the Effective Time.
(d)
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall bind and purchase directors and officers
runoff insurance coverage (the “D&O Runoff Insurance”), which by its terms shall survive the Merger
for not less than six years for the benefit of the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Company’s and any of its Subsidiary’s
past and present directors and/or officers that are insured under the Company’s current directors and officers liability
insurance policy in effect as of the Agreement Date. The D&O Runoff Insurance shall provide coverage for the Company, its Subsidiaries
and such persons in their capacity as directors and/or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective
Time that is not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing directors and officers policy (true and complete
copies of which have been made available to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best
available coverage for up to the Maximum Amount. The Surviving Corporation shall maintain the D&O Runoff Insurance in full
force and effect and continue to honor the obligations thereunder for a period of six years after the Effective Time or, if such
policies are terminated or cancelled, obtain (subject to the limitations set forth in the next sentence) alternative D&O Runoff
Insurance on substantially similar terms as set forth in this Section 4.9(d). The Company shall not, and the Surviving Corporation
shall not be required to pay an aggregate premium for the D&O Runoff Insurance in excess of 300% (the “Maximum
Amount”) of the last annual premium paid prior to the Agreement Date (it being understood and agreed that in the
event the cost of such D&O Runoff Insurance exceeds the Maximum Amount, in the aggregate, the Company shall remain obligated
to provide, and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain the broadest D&O Runoff Insurance coverage as may be
obtained for an aggregate premium equal to the Maximum Amount). The Company and Indemnified Persons may be required to make reasonable
application and provide reasonable and customary representations and warranties to applicable insurance carriers for the purpose
of obtaining such D&O Runoff Insurance. Parent shall upon written request furnish a copy of such insurance policy to each beneficiary
of such policy.
(e)
In the event the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries or their respective successors
or assigns (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and are not the continuing or surviving company or Entity of
such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of their properties and assets to any Person, then
proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or Entity or transferee of such assets, as the
case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.9, without relieving Parent of its obligations under
this Section 4.9.
(f)
The obligations under this Section 4.9 shall not be terminated or modified in such
a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Person to whom this Section 4.9 applies without the consent of such affected
Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Section 4.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by,
each Indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for,
any other rights to which each Indemnified Person is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.
(g)
Any Indemnified Person seeking to claim indemnification or an advancement of expenses under
this Section 4.9, upon learning of any Proceeding that is subject to the indemnification obligations of Section 4.9,
shall promptly notify the Surviving Corporation thereof, but failure to so notify shall not relieve the Surviving Corporation of
any Liability it may have under this Section 4.9 to such Indemnified Person, except, solely in the case of the indemnification
obligations under Section 4.9(a), to the extent such failure prejudices in any material respect the Surviving Corporation.
Section 4.10
State Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable
to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Merger, including by reason of the acquisition of Shares pursuant thereto or any other
transaction contemplated to be consummated by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the Voting Agreement, then the Company
Board shall take all action necessary to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.
Section 4.11
Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board, or
an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance
of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of the Company who is a covered person of the Company for purposes
of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder of Shares, Company Options and Shares acquired
upon the vesting of any Company RSUs or Company PSUs, pursuant to this Agreement, and the Merger shall be an exempt transaction
for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Section 4.12
Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation Compliance. Parent shall take all actions
necessary to (a) cause Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to perform its obligations under this Agreement
and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and (b) ensure that, prior to the Effective
Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business or make any investments or incur or guarantee any Indebtedness other than as specifically
contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 4.13 Stockholder
Litigation. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any Proceeding brought by the Company Stockholders or other
Persons against the Company or any of its directors, officers or the Company Representatives arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the Transactions, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. Without limiting
the preceding sentence, subject to the preservation of privilege and confidential information, the Company shall give Parent the
right to participate in (but not control) the defense (including by allowing for advance review and comment on all filings or
responses to be made in connection with any such litigation) or settlement (including the right to participate in (at the participating
party’s expense) the negotiations, arbitrations or mediations with respect thereto) of any such Proceeding, and the Company
will in good faith give consideration to Parent’s advice with respect to such Proceeding and the underlying strategy documentation
with respect thereto, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 4.14
Delisting; De-registration. Each of the Parties agrees to cooperate with
each other to do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law and
the rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Shares from Nasdaq and the deregistration
of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.
Section 4.15
Parent Vote. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Parent, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, will adopt this Agreement by written consent in accordance with
the DGCL.
Section 4.16
No Control of the Other Party’s Business. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth
in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly
or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time.
Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions
of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their own business and operations.

Section 6.2
Effect of Termination; Termination Fees.
(a)
In the event of valid termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided
in Section 6.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect and there shall be no Liability
on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives
or any of the foregoing’s successors or assigns, except that (i) Section 4.2(b) (Confidentiality), this Section
6.2 and Article VII (and all the defined terms appearing in such sections) shall survive termination and remain in full
force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and conditions and (ii) subject in all respects to the limitations
set forth in this Section 6.2 and Section 7.7 (Specific Performance), nothing herein shall relieve any Person from
any Liabilities resulting from fraud or an Intentional Breach prior to such valid termination of this Agreement. Nothing shall
limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 7.7 in lieu of terminating this
Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2.
(b)
In the event that:
(i)
this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 6.1(d) or by the
Company pursuant to Section 6.1(e), then the Company shall pay to Parent prior to or concurrently with such termination,
in the case of a termination by the Company, or within two Business Days thereafter, in the case of a termination by Parent, a
termination fee of $78.9 million (the “Termination Fee”).
(ii)
this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to (x) Section
6.1(b)(i) or (y) Section 6.1(b)(ii) (but only in the case of clause (y) if, as of the time of such termination, (1)
either Party is then entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(i) or (2) Parent is then entitled to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(f)) or by Parent pursuant to Section 6.1(f), and (A) following
the Agreement Date and prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed or shall have otherwise
become publicly known and (B) within 12 months after such termination, the Company enters into a definitive Contract with
respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummates an Acquisition Proposal (which need not be the same Acquisition Proposal that
was made, announced or publicly known prior to the termination of this Agreement) (provided that for all purposes of this
Section 6.2(b)(ii), the term Acquisition Proposal shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Exhibit A,
except that the references to “15%” shall be deemed to be references to 50%), then the Company shall pay to Parent
the Termination Fee concurrently with entering into a definitive Contract or the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal.
(iii) All
payments under this Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.2(c) shall be made by the Company to Parent by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. In no event shall the Company be required
to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.
(c)
Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained
in this Section 6.2 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) without these agreements, Parent, Merger Sub and
the Company would not enter into this Agreement, (iii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable
amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and
opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation
of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company fails
to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 6.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Proceeding
that results in a judgment against the Company for any amount due pursuant to this Section 6.2, then the Company shall also
pay Parent its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
in connection with such Proceeding, together with interest on the amount due pursuant to this Section 6.2 from the date
such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the annual rate of two percent (2%) plus the prime lending
rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made (or such lesser
rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law).
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that this Agreement
is validly terminated in accordance with this Article VI and the Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 6.2(b)
and is paid to Parent (or its designee) in accordance with this Agreement, payment of the Termination Fee shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub, and each of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, against the Company and each
of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, controlling Persons, agents or representatives
for any liability, loss or damage based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution, performance
or any actual or purported breach hereof or the Transactions or in respect of any theory of law or equity or in respect of any
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, whether at law or equity,
in contract, in tort or otherwise (except in the case of fraud). Each of Parent and Merger Sub may pursue both a grant of specific
performance in accordance with Section 7.7 and the payment of the Termination Fee under Section 6.2(b); provided
that under no circumstances shall Parent or Merger Sub be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance
that results in the Closing and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Termination Fee. Acceptance of the Termination
Fee shall constitute acceptance by Parent and Merger Sub of the validity of the termination of this Agreement.
Article
VII.

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or
enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment

specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid

prior sentence, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with
a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other
purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Person any rights or remedies hereunder.
Section 7.6

and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person
shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining
any remedy referred to in this Section 7.7, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the
obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. The Parties agree not to raise any objections to

threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand and

of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and
Merger Sub, on the other hand, pursuant to this Agreement. A Party’s pursuit of specific performance at any time shall
not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such Party may be
entitled, including the right to pursue remedies for Liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by such Party in the case of
a breach of this Agreement involving fraud or Intentional Breach, in each case, subject to the terms, conditions and

be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any such counterpart,
to the extent delivered using Electronic Delivery shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart
and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument
was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such
Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

the Party or Parties to be bound thereby and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific
instance in which it is given. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall
operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege

half a billion strong player network to reach a broader global audience
REDWOOD CITY, February 8, 2021 - Electronic Arts Inc.

and publisher of mobile games including Design Home, Covet Fashion, and MLB Tap Sports Baseball, have entered
into a definitive agreement under which Electronic Arts will acquire Glu Mobile. Under the terms of the agreement, EA will acquire
Glu for $2.1 billion in enterprise value. Glu stockholders will receive $12.50 in cash for each share of Glu stock, representing
a 36% premium to Glu’s closing share price on February 5, 2021. Upon closing, the acquisition will be immediately accretive
to Electronic Arts’ total net bookings, and is expected to grow underlying profitability beginning in its first year.
The acquisition will immediately add significant scale to Electronic
Arts’ mobile games business. The combination of Electronic Arts and Glu creates a leading mobile product portfolio that includes
more than 15 top live services across fast-growing genres with a combined $1.32 billion in bookings over the last twelve months.
Bringing together the best-in-class mobile development teams at Glu and Electronic Arts’ mobile business, with a collective
portfolio of powerful IP in sports, lifestyle, RPG, casual and other genres, and leveraging Electronic Arts’ marketing and
distribution strength to generate global reach, the combined organization will build on EA’s network of 430 million players,
including more than 100 million monthly active players in mobile, and expand to new audiences and demographics all over the world.
“Our acquisition of Glu combines amazing teams and deeply-engaging
products to create a mobile games leader with proven expertise across many fast-growing genres,” said Andrew Wilson, CEO
of Electronic Arts. “Mobile continues to grow as the biggest gaming platform in the world, and with the addition of Glu’s
games and talent, we’re doubling the size of our mobile business. With a deep IP portfolio and an expanding global audience,
we’ll deliver more exciting experiences for our players and drive further growth for Electronic Arts.”
“This transaction is the culmination of the tremendous
work of the Glu team to deliver world-class interactive experiences for our players, while driving business momentum that has led
to strong financial and operational results. It represents a terrific outcome for all of our stockholders and other key constituents,”
said Nick Earl, CEO of Glu. “As part of Electronic Arts, we will continue capitalizing on the opportunities ahead in the
expanding mobile gaming industry.”
The strategic rationale

for broad audiences.
|
|
●
|
Experienced Creative Leadership & Enhanced Team Capabilities. Glu brings a talented team including more than
500 mobile game developers (and nearly 800 total employees), adding significant scale to Electronic Arts’ mobile-focused
organization. Glu’s creative leaders are established and well-known to Electronic Arts, with similar focus on creating highly
successful mobile games with longevity. The combination of proven mobile leadership, deeply talented teams, genre expertise, long-running
franchises and IP, and technology across the two organizations will be a catalyst to delivering new experiences and further growth.
|
|
●
|
Accelerating Growth. The combination of Electronic Arts and Glu will be a mobile growth engine. With strong, recurring
revenue across a leading portfolio of live services, strength in key mobile genres, a deep roster of owned and licensed IP, access

Exhibit 99.2
GLU MOBILE INC.
CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
This Change of Control
Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of February 8, 2021 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between Becky Ann Hughes (the “Employee”) and Glu
Mobile Inc. (the “Company”).
RECITALS
A. It is expected
that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of a Change of Control (as defined below). The Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to the Employee
and can cause the Employee to consider alternative employment opportunities.
B. The Board believes
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide the Employee with an incentive to continue his
employment and to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its stockholders.
C. In order to provide
the Employee with enhanced financial security and sufficient encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility
of a Change of Control, the Board believes that it is important to provide the Employee with certain severance benefits upon the
Employee’s termination of employment following a Change of Control.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of
the mutual covenants herein contained and the continued employment of Employee by the Company, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
Unless otherwise defined elsewhere herein, the following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Cause”
means (i) the Employee’s committing of an act of gross negligence, gross misconduct or dishonesty, or other willful
act, including misappropriation, embezzlement or fraud, that materially adversely affects the Company or any of the Company’s
customers, suppliers or partners, (ii) his personal dishonesty, willful misconduct in the performance of services for the
Company, or breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, (iii) his being convicted of, or pleading no contest to, any
felony or misdemeanor involving fraud, breach of trust or misappropriation or any other act that the Board reasonably believes
in good faith has materially adversely affected, or upon disclosure will materially adversely affect, the Company, including the
Company’s public reputation, (iv) any material breach of any agreement with the Company by him that remains uncured
for thirty (30) days after written notice by the Company to him, unless that breach is incapable of cure, or any other material
unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets involving personal benefit or (v) his
failure to follow the lawful directions of the chief executive officer, in the scope of his employment unless he reasonably believes
in good faith that these directions are not lawful and notifies the chief executive officer in writing of the reasons for his belief.
(b) “Change
of Control” means the closing of (i) a merger or consolidation in one transaction or a series of related transactions,
in which the Company’s securities held by the Company’s stockholders before the merger or consolidation represent less
than 50% of the outstanding voting equity securities of the surviving corporation after the transaction or series of related transactions,
(ii) a sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets as a going concern, in one transaction
or a series of related transactions, followed by the distribution to the Company’s stockholders of any proceeds remaining
after payment of creditors or (iii) a transfer of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities
by the Company’s stockholders to one or more related persons or entities other than the Company in one transaction or a series
of related transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition, a transaction will not be deemed a Change
of Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A.
(c) “Code”
means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) “Involuntary
Termination” means the Employee’s resignation of employment from the Company expressly based on the occurrence
of any of the following conditions, without the Employee’s informed written consent, provided, however, that with respect
to each of the following conditions, the Employee must (a) within 90 days following its occurrence, deliver to the Company
a written notice, pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, explaining the specific basis for the Employee’s belief that the
Employee is entitled to terminate the Employee’s employment due to an Involuntary Termination, (b) give the Company
an opportunity to cure any of the following within 30 days following delivery of such notice and explanation, and (c) terminate
employment within fifteen days of the sooner of the expiration of the cure period set forth above or the date the Company notifies
the Employee in writing that it will not cure: (i) a material reduction in his duties, position or responsibilities, or his
removal from these duties, position and responsibilities, unless he is provided with a position of substantially equal or greater
organizational level, duties, authority and compensation; provided, however, that a change of title, in and of itself, or a reduction
of duties, position or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company’s being acquired and made part of a larger entity
will not constitute an “Involuntary Termination,” (ii) a greater than 15%reduction in his then-current annual
base compensation that is not applicable to the Company’s other executive officers, or (iii) a relocation to a facility
or a location more than 30 miles from his then-current location of employment. For the avoidance of doubt, Involuntary Termination
shall not include a termination of employment for death or Permanent Disability.
(e) “Permanent
Disability” has the meaning set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.
(f) “Termination
Date” shall mean the effective date of any notice of termination delivered by one party to the other hereunder.
2. Term of Agreement.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the date that all obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement have been satisfied
or, if earlier, on the date, prior to a Change of Control, Employee is no longer employed by the Company.
3. At-Will Employment.
The Company and the Employee acknowledge that the Employee’s employment is, and shall continue to be, at-will.
4. Severance Benefits.
(a) Termination
Following a Change of Control. If the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause or is terminated
as a result of an Involuntary Termination at any time within 12 months after a Change of Control and the Employee delivers to the
Company within 60 days following such termination a general release of claims in favor of the Company (the release of which shall
not include any release of claims pursuant to which the Employee is entitled to indemnification with respect to thereof) (the “Release”),
then the Employee will be entitled to the following severance benefits (payable within 60 days following the Termination Date,
provided that the Release has been executed, delivered to the Company and is effective on or prior to such date, and provided further
that if the 60-day period spans two calendar years, payment will be made in the second calendar year, subject to the time limitations
set forth in Section 5):
(i) six months of
the Employee’s then-current annual base salary, payable in a lump sum.
(ii) fifty percent
of the Employee’s target annual bonus for the calendar year in which the termination without Cause or the Involuntary Termination
occurs, payable in a lump sum.
(iii) in addition
to the shares that are vested and exercisable in accordance with each equity award that was granted by the Company to the Employee
prior to the Termination Date, each such grant shall become vested and exercisable as to an additional 36 months of each such outstanding
and not fully vested equity grant;
(iv) Until the
earlier of (i) the date Employee is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA, or
(ii) six months from the Termination Date, the Company shall reimburse Employee for continuation coverage pursuant to
COBRA (as defined below) as was in effect for the Employee (and any eligible dependents) on the day immediately preceding the
Termination Date; provided: (A) the Employee constitutes a qualified beneficiary, as defined in Section 4980B(g)(l)
of the Code; and (B) the Employee timely elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay or reimburse the Employee for the COBRA premiums without violating
applicable law (including Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall pay to the Employee
a fully taxable lump sum cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premiums (or remaining period if reimbursements had
commenced prior to the date of such determination).
(b) Termination
Apart from a Change of Control. If the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason (including a
termination without Cause or due to an Involuntary Termination) at any time following 12 months after a Change of Control, then
the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any acceleration, severance or other benefits pursuant to this Agreement, but may
be eligible for those benefits (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then-existing severance and benefits
plans and policies at the time of such termination.
(c) Accrued Wages
and Vacation; Expenses. Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, Employee’s termination of employment: (i) the
Company shall pay the Employee any unpaid base salary due for periods prior to the Termination Date; (ii) the Company shall
pay the Employee all of the Employee’s accrued and unused vacation through the Termination Date and (iii) following
submission of proper expense reports by the Employee, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for all expenses reasonably and
necessarily incurred by the Employee in connection with the business of the Company prior to the Termination Date. These payments
shall be made promptly and within the period of time mandated by law.
5. Section 409A.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated
thereunder (“Section 409A”) at the time of the Employee’s termination (other than due to death), then the severance
payable to the Employee, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation
benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation
Benefits”) that are payable within the first six (6) months following the Employee’s termination of employment,
will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following
the date of the Employee’s termination of employment. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will
be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if the Employee dies following his or her termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of his or her termination,
then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable
after the date of the Employee’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance
with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended
to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
(b) Any termination
of the Employee’s employment is intended to constitute a “separation from service” as such term is defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1.
(c) It is further
intended that payments hereunder satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A
(and any state law of similar effect) provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a “short-term deferral”).
Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes
of clause (a) above.
(d) Any amount paid
under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)
of the Treasury Regulations that do not exceed the Section 409A Limit shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation
Benefits for purposes of clause (a) above.
(e) The foregoing
provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits
to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will
be interpreted to so comply. The Company and the Employee agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement
and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or
income recognition prior to actual payment to the Employee under Section 409A.
(f) Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under
this Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement,
or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any
other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall
any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incurred such
expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation
or exchange for another benefit.
6. Limitation on
Payments Under Code Section 280G. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or
otherwise payable to Employee (a) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code, and (b) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”),
then Employee’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either:
(i) delivered in
full; or
(ii) delivered
as to such lesser extent that would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, with any such
reductions first being made to the equity portion of the benefits and second being made to the cash portion of the benefits,
whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of
benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If
required, the payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be reduced in the following order: (A) a pro rata
reduction of (i) cash payments that are subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (ii) cash
payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (B) a pro rata reduction of (i) employee benefits that are
subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (ii) employee benefits not subject to Section 409A; and
(C) a pro rata cancellation of (i) accelerated vesting of stock and other equity-based awards that are subject to
Section 409A as deferred compensation and (ii) stock and other equity-based awards not subject to
Section 409A. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock and other equity-based award compensation is to be
reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Employee’s
stock and other equity-based awards unless the Employee elects in writing a different order for cancellation. Unless the
Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section will be made in writing by
the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to a Change of Control or such other person or entity to
which the parties mutually agree (the “Accountants”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon the
Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants
may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith
interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee will furnish
to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination
under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may incur in connection with any calculations
contemplated by this Section.
7. Successors.
(a) Company’s
Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation,
liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement and agree expressly to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession, unless
otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Employee and such successor. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company”
shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets.
(b) Employee’s
Successors. Without the written consent of the Company, Employee shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any right or
obligation under this Agreement to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement and all
rights of Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Employee’s personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
8. Notices.
(a) General.
Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when personally delivered or the next business day if sent for next-day delivery by a nationally recognized courier
service with all delivery charges pre-paid. In the case of the Employee, couriered notices shall be addressed to him at the
home address which he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall
be addressed to its then-current corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its General
Counsel.
(b) Notice of
Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by the Employee as a result of a voluntary resignation or an Involuntary
Termination shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with this Section. Such
notice shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, shall set forth in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and shall specify the Termination
Date (which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Employee to include
in the notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Involuntary Termination shall not waive any right of the
Employee hereunder or preclude the Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing Employee’s rights hereunder.
9. Arbitration.
(a) Arbitration.
The Company and the Employee each agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, the Employee’s
employment by the Company, the Employee’s service as an officer or director of the Company, the Employee’s compensation
and benefits, their interpretation and any of the matters herein addressed, or the termination of the Employee’s employment
with the Company or any matters related thereto (“Covered Disputes”), will be subject to binding arbitration. Covered
Disputes that the Company and the Employee agree to arbitrate, and thereby agree to waive any right to a trial by jury, include
but are not limited to any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, without limitation, claims under Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,

Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act, the California Labor Code,
claims of harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination, and any statutory, constitutional, or common law claims, claims
for unpaid wages, any tort, and claims for stock, stock options or other ownership interest in the Company, except that each party
may, at its or his option, seek injunctive relief in court related to the improper use, disclosure or misappropriation of a party’s
proprietary, confidential or trade secret information. The Company and the Employee further understand that this Agreement to arbitrate
also applies to any Covered Disputes that the Company may have with the Employee.
(b) Procedure.
Company and the Employee agree that any arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services,
Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”)
before a single arbitrator. The JAMS Rules may be found and reviewed at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration. If
the Employee is unable to access these rules, the Employee will notify the Company and the Company will provide him with a hardcopy.
The Arbitrator will have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law, and the Arbitrator will award attorneys’
fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. The decision of the Arbitrator will be in writing. Any arbitration
under this Agreement will be conducted in San Francisco County, California.
(c) Administrative
Relief. The Employee understands that this Agreement does not prohibit him or her from pursuing any administrative claim with
a local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency where, as a matter of law, the parties may not restrict the
Employee’s ability to file such claims, including, but not limited to, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or the Workers’ Compensation Board.
(d) Remedy.
Except as provided by this Agreement or applicable law, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute
between the Employee and the Company.
(e) Voluntary
Nature of Agreement. Each of the Company and the Employee acknowledges and agrees that such party is executing this Agreement
voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by anyone. The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that he or she has
carefully read this Agreement and has asked any questions needed for him or her to understand the terms, consequences, and binding
effect of this Agreement and fully understands it, including that the Employee is waiving his or her right to a jury trial.
The Employee agrees that he or she has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of his or her choice before
signing this Agreement.
10. Miscellaneous
Provisions.
(a) No Duty to
Mitigate. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall
any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the Employee may receive from any other source.
(b) Waiver.
No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by both the Employee and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Employee). No waiver by
either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be
considered a waiver of any other condition or provision, or of the same condition or provision at another time.
(c) Integration.
This Agreement and any outstanding equity agreements referenced herein represent the entire agreement and understanding between
the parties as to the subject matter herein regarding severance and acceleration benefits and supersede all prior or contemporaneous
agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to this Agreement (including without limitation the offer letter between the
Company and the Employee).
(d) Choice of
Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive
laws, but not the conflicts of law rules, of the State of California.
(e) Severability.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(f) Employment
Taxes. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.
(g) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument.

Exhibit 99.3
FROM: Glu CEO
TO: All Glu Employees
SUBJECT: Important News About Our Future
All,
Today we have some very exciting news to share about our future.
We just announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Electronic Arts. I wanted to share a little
more about this transaction and let you know why I’m so excited about what Glu and EA can do together by joining forces.
First, this transaction will accelerate Glu’s strategy
and enable us to capitalize on the terrific business momentum we have generated these past 4 years. By combining our premier mobile
gaming portfolio with EA’s global reach and brand, we will become a mobile games leader of significant scale across a diversified
portfolio of franchises. Together with EA, we will broaden our audience through increased brand awareness and cross-promotional
strategies, leverage our collective IP through expanded mobile capabilities, and scale our ad monetization. Thanks to your incredibly
hard work, we have achieved remarkable financial and operational results, including a record year in 2020. I believe the tailwinds
that propelled us to that success will continue and we will have even more ability to capitalize on them as part of EA.
Importantly, EA sees Glu as the centerpiece of its future mobile
strategy, which will unlock opportunities for Glu’s business and employees. Throughout our conversations with the EA team,
we have been energized by their enthusiasm for not only our existing titles and future roadmap of new games, but also for Glu’s
studio teams. EA recognizes that mobile is critical for their business and understands our leadership in the mobile space and the
value of our franchises. They are fully committed to devoting resources to support our current and pipeline titles as well as working
with our team to bring their leading franchises onto the mobile platform. With Glu, EA will be well positioned to take advantage
of the continued growth of mobile through the rise of powerful 5G networks and cloud-based infrastructure.
As many of you know, I spent 13 years at EA before joining
Glu, so I can say firsthand that both companies have creative-led cultures and share a similar outlook and ethos – a strong
foundation for integration and collaboration. I know many of you have also spent time at EA and understand the chemistry that already
exists between our companies.
Today’s announcement is the first step in the acquisition
process. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar 2021, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals,
as well as other customary conditions. Until then, Glu and EA will each continue to operate independently. I want to emphasize
that we all need to stay focused on our day-to-day roles.
During this period, a designated team from both Glu and EA will
lead and plan the integration of our businesses, subject to legal limitations. For everyone else, it is important that you not
coordinate with Eagle employees or engage with them directly regarding the pending transaction. Similarly, we ask that if you receive
any media inquiries, please do not discuss the pending transaction and send them along to IR@Glu.com
We are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process.
To that end, we’ll have a town hall meeting today at 3:00pm PT to discuss this news in detail and answer any questions you
may have.
The future is incredibly bright for Glu Mobile as we combine
with Electronic Arts, and the entire management team is grateful for your support, especially over the past year as we’ve
been able to smoothly transition to working from home, while continuing to deliver world-class interactive experiences for our
players.
Sincerely,
Nick
