Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Merger Agreement

On March 20, 2021, Thoma Bravo Advantage (“TBA”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among TBA, ironSource Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company” or “ironSource”), Showtime Cayman, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Showtime Cayman II, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), pursuant to which: (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into TBA (the “First Merger”), with TBA surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (such company, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, the “Surviving Entity”) and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Entity will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (such company, as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, the “Surviving Company”). The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by TBA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby have been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of TBA (the “Board”) and the board of directors of the Company.

The pro forma equity valuation of the Company upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) is expected to be approximately $10 billion, subject to adjustment for the Company’s cash and indebtedness for borrowed money as of the consummation of the Transactions (“Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, assuming none of TBA’s public shareholders exercise redemption rights (“TBA Redemptions”) pursuant to TBA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, (i) the existing shareholders of the Company, including certain members of the Company’s management (“Company Management”), will own approximately 77% of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Company Class A Ordinary Shares”), which includes Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of Class B ordinary shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis (“Company Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Company Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Company Ordinary Shares”), (ii) the shareholders of TBA, including Thoma Bravo Advantage Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”), the sponsor of TBA, will own approximately 11% of the outstanding Company Class A Ordinary Shares, and (iii) the PIPE Investors (as defined below) will own the remaining approximately 12% of the outstanding Company Class A Ordinary Shares.

On the Closing Date and immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers and the sale of shares to the PIPE Investors, the Company shall effect a recapitalization whereby (i) the Company will adopt amended and restated articles of association, (ii) each ordinary share of the Company that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be renamed and become a Company Class A Ordinary Share, (iii) the Company will declare and effect an in-kind dividend on each Company Class A Ordinary Share then outstanding by distributing to each holder thereof one Company Class B Ordinary Share for each Company Class A Ordinary Share held by such holder, (iv) each Company Class A Ordinary Share and each Company Class B Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be split into a number of Company Class A Ordinary Shares and Company Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively, in order to cause the value of the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time to equal $10.00 per share, based upon the equity value of the Company in the Mergers (the “Stock Split”), and (v) any outstanding stock options and restricted stock units of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be adjusted to give effect to the foregoing transactions and remain outstanding.

Following such recapitalization (but before the Mergers), if the Company determines, after consulting with TBA, that the amount of freely usable cash proceeds to be released to TBA from TBA’s trust account is greater than the Company’s capital needs (such amount of freely usable cash to be no less than $500 million), TBA agrees to purchase from one or more Company shareholders, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, an amount of Company Class A Ordinary Shares, at a price per share of $10.00, in a secondary sale for an aggregate purchase price equal to such excess amount.

Following the recapitalization, (a) immediately prior to the First Merger, each Class B ordinary share of TBA will be cancelled automatically and converted into one Class A ordinary share of TBA and (b) after giving effect to the foregoing and in connection with the First Merger, each Class A ordinary share of TBA issued and outstanding will be converted automatically into one Company Class A Ordinary Share.

The Company Ordinary Shares to be received by Sponsor and certain directors and officers of TBA will be subject to the transfer restrictions described below under the heading “Sponsor Agreement”. The Company Ordinary Shares held by certain of the Company’s current shareholders, including Company Management, will be subject to the transfer restrictions described below under the heading “Shareholder Rights Agreement” and “Shareholder Support Agreements”.

The Transactions are targeted to be consummated in the second quarter of 2021, after the required approval by the shareholders of TBA and the shareholders of the Company, as well as the fulfillment or waiver of certain other conditions as described below.

After the consummation of the Transactions, the current officers of the Company will remain officers of the Company. The size of the board of directors of the Company will be increased and one director will initially be designated by the Sponsor.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The parties to the Merger Agreement have made representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this nature. The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement will not survive the closing of the Transactions, other than in the event of fraud.

The Merger Agreement contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants providing for (a) the parties to carry on their respective businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice through the closing of the Transactions, (b) TBA and the Company being prohibited from soliciting or negotiating with third parties regarding alternative transactions and agreeing to certain related restrictions and ceasing discussions regarding alternative transactions, (c) TBA and the Company to cooperate to prepare (and for the Company to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares of TBA in connection with the Mergers, which Registration Statement will contain a proxy statement/prospectus for the purpose of, among other things, soliciting proxies from TBA’s shareholders to vote in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and certain other matters at a special meeting called therefor, (d) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties and (e) the parties to cooperate in obtaining necessary approvals from governmental agencies, including under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

the resignation of certain individuals from their positions and offices with TBA.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the consummation of the Mergers, including:

•

by mutual written consent of TBA and the Company;

•

by either TBA or the Company, if the consummation of the Mergers has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2021 (the “Outside Date”) (provided that such termination right will not be available to any party whose breach of the Merger Agreement caused or resulted in the failure to consummate the Mergers by such time);

•

by either TBA or the Company upon a breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement by the other party if such breach gives rise to a failure of certain closing conditions to be satisfied and cannot or has not been cured within the earlier of 45 days’ following the receipt of notice from the non-breaching party and five business days prior to the Outside Date (provided that, in such event, a party may not terminate if it is then in material breach of the Merger Agreement);

•

by either TBA or the Company if either TBA’s or the Company’s respective shareholder approval is not obtained at their respective meetings (provided that, in such event, a party may not terminate if it is then in breach of certain covenants in the Merger Agreement); and

by the Company if, as a result of redemptions by TBA shareholders, the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition becomes incapable of being satisfied (but subject to the rights of the Sponsor under the Sponsor Agreement, as discussed below).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties to the Merger Agreement and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the contracting parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about TBA or any other party to the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the respective parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the respective parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to TBA’s shareholders. Except as expressly stated therein, TBA’s and the Company’s shareholders and other security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in TBA’s public disclosures.

Shareholder Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, holders representing a majority of the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares (each, a “Written Consent Party” and, collectively, the “Written Consent Parties”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Shareholder Support Agreement”) in favor of TBA and the Company, pursuant to which the Written Consent Parties agreed to (i) attend a meeting of Company shareholders relating to the Transactions or otherwise cause all equity securities owned by it, him or her to be counted as present thereat, (ii) vote all Company equity owned by it, him or her in favor of the Transactions, and (iii) vote against certain alternate business combinations. The Written Consent Parties further agreed that prior to the consummation of the Transactions, they shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable law to consummate the Transactions.

Additionally, the Written Consent Parties have agreed to transfer restrictions whereby such Written Consent Party may not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Company Ordinary Shares beneficially held by them following the closing of the Transactions for a six month period following the Closing Date (or, if earlier, the date that the lock-up restrictions governing the Sponsor Lock-Up Securities (as defined and described below) are fully released).

The foregoing summary of the Shareholder Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Shareholder Support Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor and certain directors of TBA entered into a letter agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) in favor of the Company and TBA, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) attend a meeting of TBA shareholders relating to the Transactions or otherwise cause all equity securities owned by them to be counted as present thereat, (ii) vote all shares of TBA owned by them in favor of the Transactions, (iii) vote against any business combination proposal besides the Transactions and any other action that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or adversely affect the Transactions, (iv) vote against any change in business, management or board of directors of TBA (except as contemplated by the Transactions), (v) not to redeem, or seek to redeem, any shares of TBA owned by them prior to the consummation of the Transactions and (vi) not to transfer any shares of TBA prior to the closing of the Transactions or the valid termination of the Merger Agreement.

Additionally, the Sponsor and certain directors of TBA agreed to transfer restrictions whereby, for a one year period following the closing of the Transactions, they may not sell or otherwise transfer any Company Ordinary Shares that are issued on account of the Class B ordinary shares of TBA held by them (founder shares) (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Securities”). One-third of the Sponsor Lock-Up Securities shall be released from such lock-up restrictions in the event that the volume-weighted average price of a Class A Ordinary Share exceeds $15.00, $17.50 and $20.00 per share, respectively, for 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date.

In the event that redemptions by TBA’s shareholders in connection with the Transactions exceed $150 million (the amount of such excess redemptions, the “Excess Redemptions”), the Sponsor, at its election, must either (i) procure that affiliates of Thoma Bravo, L.P. commit to fund the amount of the Excess Redemptions in cash at closing by purchasing additional Company Ordinary Shares pursuant to an Investment Agreement, (ii) surrender for no consideration a number of Class B shares of TBA (founder shares) having a value equal to the Excess Redemptions or (iii) a combination of the foregoing; provided that in no event will Sponsor be required to fund cash in an amount in excess of, or forfeit Class B shares of TBA having a value in excess of, $250 million.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor has the right to designate one individual (whose identity is generally subject to the prior consent of the Company, other than Orlando Bravo) to be appointed to the Company’s board of directors as of the closing of the Transactions.

The foregoing summary of the Sponsor Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Sponsor Support Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
