Introductory Note

On February 10, 2021, Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 1, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Endure Digital Intermediate Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Razorback Technology Intermediate Holdings, Inc.) (the “Parent”) and Endure Digital, Inc. (formerly known as Razorback Technology, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Parent and the Merger Sub are owned by funds managed by affiliates of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (“Clearlake”).

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On February 10, 2021, the Merger was consummated and, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, each share of Company common stock (the “Common Stock” and each a “Share”) issued and outstanding as of February 10, 2021 other than Shares held in the treasury of the Company, owned by any subsidiary of the Company, the Merger Sub, the Parent or any other subsidiary of the Parent immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (all of which were canceled) and Shares held by holders who have properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law) was automatically converted into the right to receive $9.50 in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax (the “Merger Consideration”). Each unexercised Company stock option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price per share less than the Merger Consideration was vested in full, canceled and converted into the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such stock option. Each outstanding and unexercised stock option with an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration was canceled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and has no further force or effect. Each Company restricted stock unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was vested in full, automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (with exceptions for certain of such units granted in 2020 that were converted into the right to receive cash equal to the Merger Consideration subject to the service and vesting terms underlying such units). Each restricted stock award that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was vested in full, automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

The aggregate consideration paid by the Parent in the Merger was approximately $3 billion, excluding related transaction fees and expenses. The Parent funded the payment of the aggregate consideration through a combination of cash made available to the Parent by cash equity contributions from funds managed by Clearlake and debt financing.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 2, 2020 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In connection with the Merger, the Company notified the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on February 10, 2021 of the consummation of the Merger. Trading in the Common Stock will be suspended prior to the open of trading on February 11, 2021. The Company also requested that Nasdaq file with the SEC an application on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the deregistration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
