Item 8.01

Other Events.

RealPage, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RealPage” or the “Company”), previously announced its entry into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 20, 2020, by and among Mirasol Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Mirasol Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of funds advised by Thoma Bravo, L.P. (“Thoma Bravo”).

In connection with the Merger, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) on February 5, 2021. Following the filing of the Proxy Statement and prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, four lawsuits relating to the Merger were filed: (i) Asp v. Realpage, Inc., et al., Case No: 1:21-cv-00158-LPS, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on February 5, 2021, on behalf of an individual stockholder of the Company (the “Asp Action”); (ii) Parshall v. Realpage, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00206-LPS, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on February 16, 2021 on behalf of an individual stockholder of the Company (the “Parshall Action”); (iii) Anderson v. RealPage, Inc., et al., Case No: 1:21-cv-00212-LPS, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on February 16, 2021 on behalf of an individual stockholder of the Company (the “Anderson Action”); and (iv) Waterman v. RealPage, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00230-UNA, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on February 18, 2021 on behalf of an individual stockholder of the Company (the “Waterman Action” and together with the Asp Action, the Parshall Action and the Anderson Action, the “Actions”). In addition, the Company received a demand letter relating to the Merger on February 8, 2021 from counsel representing an individual stockholder of the Company (the “Demand Letter” and together with the Actions, the “Matters”). The Matters each allege that the defendants named therein violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), because the Proxy Statement allegedly omits or misstates certain material information. The Actions each seek, among other things, injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the Merger, rescission of the Merger if it is consummated, damages and attorneys’ fees.

The Company believes that the claims asserted in the Matters are without merit and that no supplemental disclosure is required under applicable law. However, in order to moot unmeritorious disclosure claims, to avoid the risk of the Matters delaying or adversely affecting the Merger and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement as described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, the Company specifically denies all allegations in the Matters, including allegations that any additional disclosure was or is required, and believes that the supplemental disclosures contained herein are immaterial.

The supplemental disclosures contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

The Actions are not expected to affect the timing of the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, which is scheduled to be held on March 8, 2021, or the amount of the consideration to be paid to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Merger.

AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

The following disclosure supplements and restates the second paragraph under the section of the Proxy Statement captioned “Background of the Merger” beginning on page 29 of the Proxy Statement:

On November 3, 2020, Scott Crabill, Managing Partner of Thoma Bravo (for purposes of this section, all references to Thoma Bravo refer to Thoma Bravo, L.P. and its affiliated funds, collectively), sent an email to Mr. Winn stating Thoma Bravo’s belief that the current environment may afford an opportunity to work together, and requesting whether Mr. Winn may be available soon for a videoconference call to discuss the matter. Before such email, representatives of Thoma Bravo and Mr. Winn had not been in contact with respect to an opportunity for their companies to work together. On November 6, 2020, Mr. Winn responded by email requesting a videoconference call be arranged for the following week.

The following disclosure supplements and restates the seventh paragraph under the section of the Proxy Statement captioned “Background of the Merger” beginning on page 29 of the Proxy Statement:

Following the telephone call, Mr. Crabill emailed an unsolicited letter to Mr. Winn containing a non-binding letter of intent (the “Initial LOI”) for Thoma Bravo to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of RealPage for $80 per share. RealPage had not provided Thoma Bravo with any nonpublic information concerning RealPage prior to Mr. Winn’s receipt of the Initial LOI. The Initial LOI noted that the full consideration would be financed with equity from Thoma Bravo funds and debt from one or more of Thoma Bravo’s lending partners, and the transaction would not be subject to a financing condition. The Initial LOI also indicated that Thoma Bravo expected to be able to complete its due diligence with respect to RealPage within three weeks.

The following disclosure supplements and restates the twenty-second paragraph under the section of the Proxy Statement captioned “Background of the Merger” beginning on page 29 of the Proxy Statement:

On December 14, 2020, the Board of Directors held a meeting by videoconference during which members of RealPage’s senior management and representatives of Wachtell Lipton and BofA Securities were present. At the meeting, representatives of BofA Securities provided an update on the status of the due diligence process and transaction negotiations with Thoma Bravo.

They also described the mechanics of a typical go-shop period, and discussed potential bidders to contact during such period. The Board of Directors discussed next steps, including that a revised draft of the merger agreement was expected to be received later that day. Representatives of BofA Securities then left the meeting, and the Board of Directors, in consultation with Wachtell Lipton, reviewed a memorandum disclosing certain relationships between BofA Securities and its affiliates, on the one hand, and RealPage and Thoma Bravo, on the other hand. Upon review, the Board of Directors determined that these potential conflicts were not material.

In connection with the go-shop period provided for in the merger agreement, which expired at 11:59 p.m. Central Time on February 3, 2021, at the direction of the Board of Directors, representatives of BofA Securities communicated with 49 additional parties, 19 of which were potential strategic bidders and 30 of which were potential financial bidders, to gauge such parties’ interest in making an alternative Acquisition Proposal. Of those 49 parties, RealPage executed a confidentiality agreement with two parties, neither of which contained a standstill provision. Of those two parties, one was a potential strategic bidder and the other a potential financial bidder. During the go-shop period, no party made an alternative Acquisition Proposal and no party requested additional time to complete due diligence beyond the expiration of the go-shop period.

The following disclosure supplements and restates the first paragraph under the section of the Proxy Statement captioned “Opinion of BofA Securities, Inc.—Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” beginning on page 44 of the Proxy Statement:

BofA Securities performed a discounted cash flow analysis of RealPage to calculate the estimated present value of the standalone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that RealPage was forecasted to generate during RealPage’s calendar years 2021 through 2025 based on the Management Forecasts. BofA Securities calculated the present value of tax savings from the tax deductible goodwill and intangibles as reflected in the Management Forecasts (calculated at a tax rate of 24% per RealPage’s management) and calculated terminal values for RealPage by applying perpetuity growth rates of 3.50% to 4.00%, to terminal year Unlevered Free Cash Flow of $426 million, which was derived by adjusting RealPage’s calendar year 2025 Unlevered Free Cash Flow, principally to eliminate acquisition capital expenditures, based on guidance provided by RealPage’s management. The cash flows, the tax savings from the tax deductible goodwill and intangibles, and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of December 31, 2020 using discount rates ranging from 6.50% to 8.50%, which were based on an estimate of RealPage’s weighted average cost of capital. From the resulting enterprise values, BofA Securities deducted estimated net debt of RealPage of $687 million, as provided by RealPage’s management, as of December 31, 2020 to derive equity values and dividing the result by the number of fully-diluted shares outstanding, calculated using the treasury stock method, based on information provided by RealPage’s management. This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share of RealPage common stock equity value reference ranges for RealPage, rounded to the nearest $0.25, as compared to the Per Share Merger Consideration:

The following disclosure supplements as an additional table the section of the Proxy Statement captioned “Management Projections—Summary of Management Projections” beginning on page 48 of the Proxy Statement, after the table previously included in the Proxy Statement:
