Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 10, 2021, Emerson Electric Co., a Missouri corporation (“Emerson”),
Aspen Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aspen”), EMR Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Emerson (“Emerson Sub”), Emersub CX, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson
(“Newco”), and Emersub CXI, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Newco (“Merger
Sub”), entered into a Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Transaction Agreement”). Upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, at the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the “Transactions”), (i) Emerson will contribute $6,014,000,000 in cash
(the “Cash Contribution”) to Newco in exchange for a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share,
of Newco (“Newco Stock”), (ii) Emerson Sub will contribute the Echo Business Shares (as defined in the Transaction
Agreement), (iii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Aspen, with Aspen as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”)
and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Newco (the “Merger”), (iv) each outstanding share of common stock, par value
$0.10 per share, of Aspen (“Aspen Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other
than shares of Aspen Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger held (x) by Aspen as treasury stock, (y)
by Emerson and (z) by stockholders who have not voted in favor of the Merger and who have demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance
with Delaware law and who have not failed to perfect, withdrawn or lost the right to appraisal) will be converted into the right to receive
0.42 shares of Newco Stock and a per share cash consideration amount, calculated by dividing the Cash Contribution by the number of outstanding
shares of Aspen Stock as of the Closing on a fully diluted basis, which per share cash consideration amount is currently estimated to
be approximately $87 per share of Aspen Stock and (v) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior
to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving
Corporation.
As a result of the Transactions, Emerson and Emerson Sub will collectively
own 55% of the outstanding shares of Newco Stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) as of the Closing, and pre-Merger Aspen stockholders
will own the remaining outstanding shares of Newco Stock. Following the Closing, Newco and its subsidiaries will operate under the name
“Aspen Technology, Inc.”
The obligation of the parties to consummate the Closing is subject
to customary conditions, including, among other things, the (i) affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Aspen Stock, (ii) applicable approvals under certain regulatory and competition laws, including the expiration or termination of all
applicable waiting and other time periods (in each case, without the requirement to take actions that would be reasonably expected to
materially and adversely affect Emerson and its subsidiaries or Newco and its subsidiaries) and (iii) effectiveness of the registration
statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Newco with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the approval of the listing on The Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) of the shares of Newco Stock to be issued in the Transactions.
The Transaction Agreement contains certain termination rights for each
of Emerson and Aspen, including the right of each party to terminate the Transaction Agreement if the Transactions have not been consummated
by October 10, 2022. The Transaction Agreement provides for the payment by Aspen to Emerson of a termination fee in the amount of $325,000,000
in the case of certain events described in the Transaction Agreement, including if Emerson terminates the Transaction Agreement in the
event Aspen’s board of directors changes its recommendation that Aspen’s stockholders approve the Transaction Agreement.
The Transaction Agreement contains customary representations and warranties
by each party. The parties have also agreed to various customary covenants and agreements, including, among others, to conduct, subject
to certain exceptions, their business (or in the case of Emerson and its subsidiaries, the industrial software businesses contributed
to Newco) in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Transaction Agreement and
the Closing. The Transaction Agreement also prohibits Aspen’s solicitation of proposals relating to alternative transactions and
restricts Aspen’s ability to furnish information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any third party with
respect to any such transaction, subject to limited exceptions.
At the Closing, (i) Newco, Emerson and Emerson Sub will enter into
a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), (ii) Newco and Emerson Sub will enter into a registration
rights agreement, and (iii) Newco and Emerson will enter into a tax matters agreement and a transition services agreement. The forms of
these agreements, as well as forms of the organizational documents of Newco and the Surviving Corporation to be in effect as of the Closing,
are each attached as an exhibit to the Transaction Agreement. The Transaction
Agreement also requires Emerson and Aspen to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of a commercial agreement, substantially
on the terms set forth in a term sheet attached to the Transaction Agreement.
The Stockholders Agreement will provide, among other things, that:
|
·
|
Board Representation. Immediately following the Closing, the
Newco board of directors will consist of nine directors, consisting of (i) five directors designated by Emerson Sub, one of whom
will be Jill D. Smith, the current chair of the Aspen board of directors and who will also be the chair of the Newco board of
directors, and three of whom will be designated by Emerson Sub following consultation with Ms. Smith, (ii) three directors
designated by Aspen and (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of Aspen immediately prior to the Closing. Following the Closing, Emerson
Sub will have the right to designate a number of directors to the Newco board of directors that is proportionate to its ownership of
outstanding shares of Newco Stock at such time; provided that Emerson Sub will have the right to designate at least a majority of
such directors for so long as Emerson beneficially owns more than 40% of the outstanding shares of Newco Stock and further provided
that if Emerson beneficially owns less than 20% (but at least 10%) of the outstanding shares of Newco Stock, Emerson Sub will
have the right to designate one director. The members of the Newco board of directors not designated by Emerson Sub will be
designated by the Nominating & Governance Committee of the Newco board of directors. For so long as Emerson beneficially owns
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Newco Stock, at Emerson Sub’s election, Newco will avail itself of
“controlled company” exemptions (in whole or in part) to the listing rules of NASDAQ, and accordingly it could be exempt
from some of the exchange’s generally applicable listing requirements.
|
|
·
|
Consent Rights. Emerson Sub will have the right to consent to certain
material actions of Newco and its subsidiaries for so long as it maintains certain ownership percentages, including over certain mergers
and acquisitions, sales of assets, incurrence of indebtedness, issuances of securities and the appointment and removal of the Chief Executive
Officer of Newco. In most instances, these consent rights terminate when Emerson ceases to beneficially own more than 40% of the outstanding
shares of Newco Stock.
|
|
·
|
Standstill Provisions. For a period of two years beginning on the Closing
Date, Emerson and its subsidiaries will be subject to a customary standstill, with certain customary exceptions, including to permit Emerson
to acquire shares of Newco Stock constituting in the aggregate no more than 5% of the aggregate shares of Newco Stock outstanding as of
the Closing Date and pursuant to the Pre-Agreed Procedures (as described below).
|
|
·
|
Transfer Restrictions. For a period of two years beginning on the Closing
Date (or until such time that Emerson beneficially owns less than 20% of the outstanding shares of Newco Stock), Emerson and its subsidiaries
may not transfer any shares of Newco Stock unless approved by an ad-hoc committee of the Newco board of directors consisting solely of
independent directors (an “RPT Committee”).
|
|
·
|
Preemptive Rights and Percentage Maintenance Rights. Emerson will have
certain rights to buy its pro rata share of securities issued by Newco and to acquire additional securities of Newco to maintain its then
ownership percentages in the event of additional issuances of Newco securities.
|
|
·
|
Pre-Agreed Procedures. Emerson will have the right to purchase additional
equity securities of Newco under certain circumstances pursuant to certain pre-agreed prices and procedures as set forth in the Stockholders
Agreement, without the need for the approval of an RPT Committee. These procedures include Emerson’s ability to provide Newco with
financing in connection with any proposed acquisition transaction, and the pre-agreed pricing of such financing, if such financing is
approved by an RPT Committee.
|
|
·
|
Buyout Transactions. For so long as Emerson beneficially owns more
than 40% of the outstanding shares of Newco Stock, any proposal by Emerson or any of its subsidiaries to acquire all of the shares of
Newco Stock held by stockholders that are not affiliated with Emerson or its subsidiaries must either be (at Emerson’s election)
(i) subject to review, evaluation and approval of an RPT Committee or (ii) submitted for approval to the stockholders of Newco, with a
non-waivable condition that a majority of the shares held by stockholders that are not Emerson or its subsidiaries approve the transaction
(or equivalent tender offer condition).
|
|
·
|
Related Party Transactions. For so long as Emerson beneficially owns
at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Newco Stock, any transaction not contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and the related ancillary
agreements between Newco or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Emerson or any of its subsidiaries (other than Newco and its
subsidiaries), on the other hand, shall be governed by a related party transactions policy, subject to certain exceptions, including for
transactions pursuant to the Pre-Agreed Procedures, preemptive rights, percentage maintenance rights and transactions that are below certain
thresholds.
|
|
·
|
Other Governance Rights. Material amendments of or waivers under the
Transaction Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) require
the prior approval of an RPT Committee.
|
The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement and related
documents does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Agreement,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Transaction Agreement
has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information
about Emerson or any of the other parties to the Transaction Agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations
and warranties contained in the Transaction Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the
parties in connection with the signing of the Transaction Agreement. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that
modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Transaction Agreement.
Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties
rather than establishing matters as facts and were made only as of the date of the Transaction Agreement (or such other date or dates
as may be specified in the Transaction Agreement). Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement should
not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Emerson or any of the parties to the Transaction Agreement.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking”
statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as amended by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than historical facts, are forward-looking statements, including: statements
regarding the expected timing and structure of the proposed transaction; the ability of the parties to complete the proposed transaction
considering the various closing conditions; the expected benefits of the proposed transaction, such as improved operations, enhanced revenues
and cash flow, synergies, growth potential, market profile, business plans, expanded portfolio and financial strength; the competitive
ability and position of Newco following completion of the proposed transaction; legal, economic and regulatory conditions; and any assumptions
underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not
historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,”
“intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “plan,” “could,” “would,”
“project,” “predict,” “continue,” “target” or other similar words or expressions or negatives
of these words, but not all forward-looking statements include such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based upon current
plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated
by such forward-looking statements. We can give no assurance that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved and therefore,
actual results may differ materially from any plans, estimates or expectations in such forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others: (1) that one or more closing conditions to the transaction, including
certain regulatory approvals, may not be satisfied or waived, on a timely basis or otherwise, including that a governmental entity may
prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the proposed transaction, may require conditions, limitations or restrictions
in connection with such approvals or that the required approval by the stockholders of Aspen may not be obtained; (2) the risk that the
proposed transaction may not be completed in the time frame expected by Emerson, Aspen or Newco, or at all; (3) unexpected costs, charges
or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; (4) uncertainty of the expected financial performance of Newco following completion
of the proposed transaction; (5) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including as a result of delay
in completing the proposed transaction or integrating the industrial software business of Emerson with the business of Aspen; (6) the
ability of Newco to implement its business strategy; (7) difficulties and delays in achieving revenue and cost synergies of Newco; (8)
inability to retain and hire key personnel; (9) the occurrence of any event that could give rise to termination of the proposed transaction;
(10) potential litigation in connection with the proposed transaction or other settlements or investigations that may affect the timing
or occurrence of the contemplated transaction or result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; (11) evolving
legal, regulatory and tax regimes; (12) changes in economic, financial, political and regulatory conditions, in the United States and
elsewhere, and other factors that contribute to uncertainty and volatility, natural and man-made disasters, civil unrest, pandemics (e.g.,
the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”)), geopolitical uncertainty, and conditions that may result from
legislative, regulatory, trade and policy changes associated with the current or subsequent U.S. administration; (13) the ability of Emerson,
Aspen and Newco to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem due to a hurricane, flood, earthquake, terrorist
attack, war, pandemic, security breach, cyber-attack, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event, including
the ability to function remotely during long-term disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic; (14) the impact of public health crises,
such as pandemics
(including the COVID-19 pandemic) and epidemics and any related company
or governmental policies and actions to protect the health and safety of individuals or governmental policies or actions to maintain the
functioning of national or global economies and markets, including any quarantine, “shelter in place,” “stay at home,”
workforce reduction, social distancing, shut down or similar actions and policies; (15) actions by third parties, including government
agencies; (16) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction;
(17) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm Emerson’s and Aspen’s business, including current plans
and operations; (18) certain restrictions during the pendency of the acquisition that may impact Emerson’s or Aspen’s ability
to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (19) Emerson’s, Aspen’s and Newco’s ability to meet
expectations regarding the accounting and tax treatments of the proposed transaction; and (20) other risk factors as detailed from time
to time in Emerson’s and Aspen’s reports filed with the SEC, including Emerson’s and Aspen’s annual report on
Form 10-K, periodic quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, periodic current reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed with the SEC. These
risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, will be more fully discussed in the Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors to be presented in the Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be,
considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted
factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication.
Neither Emerson, Aspen nor Newco undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information
or development, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these
forward-looking statements.
