CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT OF FIGMA, INC. AND PROSPECTUS OF
ADOBE INC.
To Stockholders of Figma, Inc.:
As you may be aware, Figma, Inc. (“Figma”) entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
September 15, 2022 (the “merger agreement”),
with Adobe Inc. (“Adobe”) and two of
Adobe’s wholly owned subsidiaries, pursuant to which, through two
successive mergers, Figma will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Adobe (collectively, the “mergers”). The
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the
mergers, are collectively referred to as the “transaction.”
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the merger agreement, at the effective time of the
first merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.00001
per share, of Figma (the “Figma common
stock”), and each share of preferred stock, par value
$0.00001 per share, of Figma (the “Figma preferred
stock” and, together with the Figma common stock, the
“Figma capital
stock”), in each case, that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time (other than any treasury
shares or dissenting shares as described in the accompanying
consent solicitation statement/prospectus), will automatically be
canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) 0.045263
shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Adobe (the
“Adobe common
stock”) (with a cash payment, without interest and less any
applicable withholding taxes, for any fractional shares of Adobe
common stock resulting from the calculation) (the “per share closing stock
consideration”) and (ii) $22.4795 in cash without interest
and less any applicable withholding taxes (subject to certain
adjustments and escrow provisions set forth in the merger
agreement).
The per share closing stock consideration is fixed and will not be
adjusted for changes in the market price of Adobe common stock
prior to the consummation of the transaction. Therefore, the value
of the consideration to Figma stockholders in the transaction will
fluctuate between now and the completion of the mergers. See the
section entitled “
The
Transaction—Consideration to Figma Stockholders” beginning
on page
52 of the
accompanying consent solicitation statement/prospectus.
Adobe common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market
(“Nasdaq”) under the
ticker symbol “ADBE.” On January 6, 2023, the most recent
practicable date prior to the printing of the accompanying consent
solicitation statement/prospectus, the last reported sale price of
Adobe common stock on Nasdaq was $332.75.
The board of directors of Figma (the “Figma board”) has
considered the transaction and the terms of the merger agreement
and unanimously approved and declared advisable the merger
agreement and the transaction, upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the merger agreement, and recommended that Figma
stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement and the
transaction.
The adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote
or consent of the holders of (i) at least a majority of the
voting power of the outstanding shares of Figma capital stock
(voting as a single class and on an as-converted to Figma common
stock basis) entitled to vote thereon, (ii) at least a
majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Figma
preferred stock (voting as a single class and on an as-converted to
Figma common stock basis) entitled to vote thereon, and
(iii) if and to the extent required by Section 2115 of the
California Corporations Code, at least a majority of the voting
power of the outstanding shares of Figma common stock (voting as a
single class) entitled to vote thereon (the foregoing clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Figma stockholder
approval”).
The Figma stockholder approval is required for the transaction to
close, and you are being sent this document to ask you to approve
the adoption of the merger agreement by executing and returning the
written consent furnished with the accompanying consent
solicitation statement/prospectus.
The Figma board has set December 10, 2022 as the record date
(the “
record
date”) for determining Figma stockholders entitled to
execute and deliver written consents with respect to this
solicitation. If you are a holder of Figma capital stock on the
record date, you are urged to complete, date and sign the enclosed
written consent and promptly return it to Figma. See the section
entitled “
Solicitation of
Written Consents”
beginning on page
45 of
the accompanying consent solicitation statement/prospectus.
Subsequent to the execution of the merger agreement, Adobe and
certain stockholders of Figma, representing approximately 55.0% of
the voting power of the outstanding shares of Figma capital stock,
approximately 52.5% of the voting power of the outstanding shares
of Figma common stock and approximately 69.8% of the voting power
of the outstanding shares of Figma preferred stock, in each case as
of the record date, entered into a voting and support agreement
(the “key
stockholder voting agreement”) under which such stockholders
of Figma have agreed, promptly (and in any event within two
business days) after the registration statement of which the
accompanying consent solicitation statement/prospectus forms a part
is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), to execute
and deliver written consents approving the adoption of the merger
agreement and related matters with respect to all of such
stockholders’ shares of Figma capital stock entitled to act by
written consent with respect thereto. The execution and delivery of
written consents by all parties to the key stockholder voting
agreement will constitute the Figma stockholder approval and,
therefore, we expect to receive a number of written consents
sufficient to satisfy the Figma stockholder approval required under
the merger agreement.
No vote of Adobe stockholders is required to complete the
transaction.
We encourage you to read carefully the accompanying consent
solicitation statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by

statement/prospectus in their entirety, including the section

Risk
Factors” beginning on page

disapproved of the securities to be issued under the accompanying
