~~Item 9~~The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.01 In addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed not to solicit, initiate or knowingly induce the marking of, or knowingly encourage or otherwise facilitate any alternative Acquisition Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to customary exceptions that permit the Company to respond to any unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company’s board of directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. ~~Financial~~The ~~Statements~~Company is also permitted to change its recommendation in favor of the Merger or to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to accept an unsolicited Superior Proposal (subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement), provided that the Company’s board of directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. Parent has the right to match any alternative Acquisition Proposal so that such proposal does not continue to be a Superior Proposal, which would otherwise allow the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement. If the Company is permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement and ~~Exhibits~~does so, under such circumstances, the Company must pay Parent, concurrently with such termination, a termination fee of approximately $4.45 million. In addition, this termination fee is payable by the Company to Parent under other specified circumstances.

(Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the members of the Board and the executive officers of the Company, as well as certain stockholders of the Company affiliated with members of the Board, each in their respective capacities as stockholders of the Company, entered into a Tender and Support Agreement with Parent and Acquisition Sub (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the signatories have agreed, among other things, to tender their respective shares of Common Stock (bincluding those owned through the exercise or settlement of Company Options or Company Restricted Stock Awards) and Preferred Stock (the “Subject Securities”) into the Offer and, during the period from the date of such Support Agreement through the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated and (cii) the Effective Time (the “Support Period”), to not ~~applicable~~vote any of their Subject Securities in favor of any alternative Acquisition Proposals.

Shares held by the signatories to the Support Agreements that are eligible to be tendered into the Offer represent, in the aggregate, approximately 24% of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement (dexcluding Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Company Options). ~~Exhibits:~~Each of the Support Agreements will terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Support Period.

Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement

On June 29, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with The PrivateBank and Trust Company, an entity now known as CIBC Bank USA (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit maturing in 2020 (the “Credit Facility”) and is secured by a security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable, equipment, inventory, cash, deposit accounts, securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, financial assets, intellectual property rights and other personal property. The Company, subject to certain limits and restrictions, may from time to time request the issuance of letters of credit under the Loan Agreement.

On March 29, 2018, the Company and the Lender entered into an Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Prior Amendment”), whereby certain material provisions of the Loan Agreement were amended and restated. The Prior Amendment increased the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for loans bearing interest at LIBOR from 4.50% to 5.50% and for loans bearing interest at the base rate from 1.75% to 2.75%. The Prior Amendment also provided the Lender with the ability to impose discretionary reserves against the borrowing base.

The Loan Agreement requires the Company to comply with EBITDA (as adjusted in accordance with the Loan Agreement) and total revenue targets. The Prior Amendment adjusted the minimum EBITDA thresholds for the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2018 from: ($200,000) to ($500,000); $1,250,000 to $500,000; and $3,000,000 to $2,500,000; respectively. The Prior Amendment also increased the Company’s minimum total revenue thresholds for the first and second quarter of 2018 by an average of approximately 3% each quarter and reduced the applicable total revenue thresholds for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2018 by an average of approximately 6% each quarter.

The Prior Amendment deleted in full the default that would otherwise occur should any of the Borrower’s customers identified as “key accounts” cancel or not renew their subscription agreements at any point during the pendency of the Loan Agreement.

On April 25, 2018, the Company and the Lender entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “New Loan Amendment”), whereby certain material provisions of the Loan Agreement were amended, including the following material amendments outlined below.

The New Loan Amendment adjusts the minimum Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the New Loan Amendment) threshold for the second quarter of 2018 from ($500,000) to ($2,500,000). The New Loan Amendment also excludes from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, certain expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Merger and adds a requirement that the Company must have liquidity as of the last day of each calendar month of at least $2,000,000.

The foregoing description of the New Loan Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Loan Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference. Further, the descriptions of the underlying Loan Agreement and Prior Amendment contained herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement and Prior Amendment, which are incorporated by reference at Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K under the heading “Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement” is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 25, 2018, the Company and Parent entered into an agreement with David Gustafson, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, amending certain terms of Mr. Gustafson’s existing employment agreement with the Company (the “Employment Agreement Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement Amendment, Mr. Gustafson’s salary will be $260,000 USD per annum and his target bonus for fiscal 2018 will be $160,000 USD, prorated for the portion of 2018 between the Closing and the end of the year. The Employment Agreement Amendment also provides that the Company will recommend that Guarantor’s board of directors grant Mr. Gustafson specified awards of Guarantor restricted stock units. The Employment Agreement Amendment is effective only upon and subject to the Closing.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 25, 2018, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended (the “Bylaw Amendment”), which became effective immediately. The Bylaw Amendment added a new provision to the Company’s Bylaws that designates the state and federal courts located within the state of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain legal actions, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum. On April 25, 2018, the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock waived any right of the holders of the Preferred Stock to vote on or consent to the Bylaw Amendment.

The foregoing description of the Bylaw Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaw Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 26, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Important Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed acquisition of Mattersight by Parent, Acquisition Sub will commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Mattersight’s common stock and preferred stock. Such tender offer has not yet commenced. This communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Mattersight, nor is it a substitute for the tender offer materials that Parent, Acquisition Sub and Guarantor will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) upon commencement of the tender offer. At the time that the tender offer is commenced, Parent, Acquisition Sub and Guarantor will file tender offer materials on Schedule TO with the SEC, and Mattersight will file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the offer. THE TENDER OFFER MATERIALS (INCLUDING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE, A RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CERTAIN OTHER TENDER OFFER DOCUMENTS) AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND CONSIDERED BY MATTERSIGHT’S STOCKHOLDERS BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TENDER OFFER. Both the tender offer statement and the solicitation/recommendation statement will be made available to Mattersight’s stockholders free of charge. A free copy of the tender offer statement and the solicitation/recommendation statement will also be made available to all stockholders of Mattersight by contacting Mattersight at Legal Department, Mattersight Corporation, 200 W.

MATTERSIGHT’S STOCKHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT, AS EACH MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE THEY MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE TENDER OFFER BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES TO

THE TRANSACTION.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the satisfaction of conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction and the expected completion of the proposed transaction, as well as other statements that are not historical fact. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, as well as Mattersight’s views and assumptions regarding future events as of the time such statements are being made. Such forward looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements reflect Mattersight’s expectations as of the date of this report. While Mattersight may elect to update any such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Mattersight specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if our expectations change, except as required by law.
