Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On May 27, 2015, FireEye, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), to issue and sell $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Series A Notes”) and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Notes, the “Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, be issued to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In addition, the Company granted the Initial Purchasers a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Series A Notes and up to an additional $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Series B Notes, as applicable, on the same terms and conditions. The Initial Purchasers exercised their option in full on May 28, 2015.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities.

The description of the Purchase Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Prepaid Forward Stock Purchase Transactions

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, on May 27, 2015 the Company entered into privately negotiated prepaid forward stock purchase transactions (each a “Prepaid Forward”) with one of the Initial Purchasers of the Notes (the “Forward Counterparty”), pursuant to which the Company will purchase approximately $150.0 million worth of its common stock (equivalent to approximately 3.3 million shares of its common stock) for settlement on or around June 1, 2020 and June 1, 2022, respectively, subject to any early settlement, in whole or in part, of each Prepaid Forward. Subject to the closing of the offering of the Notes, the Prepaid Forwards will become effective on June 2, 2015. In the event that the Company pays any cash dividends on its common stock, the Forward Counterparty will pay an equivalent amount to the Company. The Prepaid Forwards are designed to facilitate privately negotiated derivative transactions between the Forward Counterparty and holders of the Notes, including swaps, relating to the shares of the Company’s common stock by which holders of the Notes will establish short positions and otherwise hedge their investments in the Notes concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. The shares to be purchased under each Prepaid Forward will be treated as retired for accounting purposes as of the effective date of each Prepaid Forward, but will remain outstanding for corporate law purposes, including for purposes of any future stockholders votes.

The Forward Counterparty has advised the Company that in connection with entering into the Prepaid Forwards, it or its affiliate expects to enter into derivative transactions relating to the Company’s common stock with purchasers of the Notes who are hedging their exposure to the Notes, and that it or its affiliate expects to purchase in secondary market transactions or otherwise acquire shares of the Company’s common stock prior to or at the time of settlement of each Prepaid Forward. These activities could have the effect of increasing, or reducing the size of any decrease in, the price of the Notes or the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Forward Counterparty or its affiliate is likely to modify its hedge position by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or by purchasing shares of common stock of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the effective maturity of the Notes (including shortly before the maturity date under each Prepaid Forward, on or around any earlier observation period related to a conversion of such series of Notes and on or around any election by the Forward Counterparty to settle all or a portion of a Prepaid Forward early).

The description of the Prepaid Forwards contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Prepaid Forwards attached as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Series A Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of an indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “ Series A Indenture ”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “ Trustee ”), and the Series B Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of an indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “ Series B Indenture ,” and together with the Series A Indenture, the “ Indentures ”) between the Company and the Trustee. The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers not more than an additional $60,000,000 principal amount of its Series A Notes and an additional $60,000,000 principal amount of its Series B Notes (together, the “ Additional Securities ”) if and to the extent that you, as Representatives of the offering, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, the right to purchase such Additional Securities granted to the Initial Purchasers in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Securities and the Additional Securities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Securities. ” The Securities will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Underlying Securities ”), or a combination of cash and Underlying Securities, at the Company’s option.

The Securities and the Underlying Securities will be offered without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

Such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.

(cc) To the extent required under applicable rules, the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(jj) The Company has timely made all filings required to be made by it pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase . The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Initial Purchasers, and each Initial Purchaser, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite its name at a purchase price of 97.50% of the principal amount thereof (the “ Purchase Price ”) plus accrued interest, if any, to the Closing Date.

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Initial Purchasers the Additional Securities, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to $60,000,000 principal amount of Series A Notes and up to $60,000,000 principal amount of Series B Notes, in each case representing the Additional Securities at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of payment and delivery. The Representatives may exercise this right on behalf of the Initial Purchasers in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice to the Company; provided that any Option Closing Date (as defined below) shall occur within a period (the “ Exercise Period ”) of thirteen calendar days from, and including, the Closing Date. Any exercise notice shall specify the principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers and the date on which such Additional Securities are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be within the Exercise Period, and must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Securities nor later than five business days after the date of such notice. On each day, if any, that Additional Securities are to be purchased (an “ Option Closing Date ”), each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the principal amount of Additional Securities (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional Securities as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser bears to the total principal amount of Firm Securities.

3. Terms of Offering. The Representatives have advised the Company that the Initial Purchasers will make an offering of the Securities purchased by the Initial Purchasers hereunder as soon as practicable after this Agreement is entered into as in their judgment is advisable.

4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Securities shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Firm Securities for the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2015, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than June 9, 2015, as shall be designated in writing by the Representatives.

7. Offering of Securities; Restrictions on Transfer . Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants and agrees that:

(a) It is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “ QIB ”) and an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act;

(b) It has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by any General Solicitation, other than a permitted communication listed on Schedule II hereto, or those made with the prior written consent of the Company, or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act;

(c) It has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities except within the United States to persons that it reasonably believes to be QIBs in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and that, in each case, in purchasing Securities, is deemed to have represented and agreed as provided in the Final Memorandum under the caption “Transfer Restrictions.”

8. Indemnity and Contribution .

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged

 

17


untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, any General Solicitation made by the Company, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “ road show ”), the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication set forth in Schedule II hereto, road show, General Solicitation set forth in Schedule II hereto, the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “ indemnified party ”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “ indemnifying party ”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by

 

18


reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses but after deducting discounts and commissions) received by the Company and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the Securities distributed by such Initial Purchaser in the offering exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or

 

19


alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, any person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any affiliate of any Initial Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

9. Termination. The Initial Purchasers may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representatives to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade or other relevant exchanges, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the Representatives’ judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the Representatives’ judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Initial Purchasers . This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as the Representatives may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser. If, on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Securities which it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory

 

20


to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or of the Company. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the option to (a) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (b) purchase not less than the principal amount of Additional Securities that such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers or such Initial Purchasers as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11. Entire Agreement .

(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Initial Purchasers with respect to the preparation of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Initial Purchasers have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Initial Purchasers owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) if any, and (iii) the Initial Purchasers may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Initial Purchasers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY

On the basis of the foregoing and in reliance thereon and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

  1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has requisite corporate power to own or lease its properties and carry on its business, as described in the Final Offering Memorandum. The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in the State of California.

 

  2. The execution and delivery of the Operative Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

 

  3. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver the Operative Documents and to perform its obligations under the terms of the Operative Documents.

 

  4. The authorized capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Capital Stock.” The Securities being issued on the date hereof are in the form contemplated in the applicable Indenture and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and have been duly executed by the Company and when authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture (which authentication we have not determined by inspection of the Securities) and issued and delivered to the Initial Purchasers against payment of the purchase price therefor specified in the Purchase Agreement, the Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

 

  5. Each Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and each Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each Indenture constitutes a valid and binding instrument, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

  6.

The shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Securities (assuming full physical settlement of the Securities of each series and including shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the applicable Indenture)) (the

 

A-1


  Shares ”) have been duly authorized and reserved by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Shares, if any, when issued upon due conversion of the applicable Securities in accordance with the terms of such Securities and the applicable Indenture would, if issued today, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights arising under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or the DGCL.

 

  7. The statements set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Notes” insofar as such statements purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Indentures and the Securities, fairly summarize such terms in all material respects.

 

  8. The statements set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to summarize the United States federal tax laws referred to therein or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are fair summaries in all material respects.

 

  9. The statements set forth in the General Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Capital Stock,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of legal matters or documents, fairly summarize the matters and documents referred to therein in all material respects.

 

  10. The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the General Disclosure Package, will not be required to be registered as, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

 

  11. None of the issuance and sale of the Securities being delivered on the date hereof, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Indentures and the Securities or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will (i) violate the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach or violation by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default by the Company under any Reviewed Agreement, (iii) result in a violation of any Reviewed Judgment, or (iv) contravene any applicable law.

 

  12.

No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any U.S. federal, New York, California or Delaware (solely with respect to the DGCL) governmental agency or body or court is required for the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the offer, sale or issuance by the Company of the Securities or the consummation by the

 

A-2


  Company of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Indentures, except (i) such as have been obtained under the Securities Act, (ii) such as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws, and (iii) as contemplated by the Operative Documents.

 

  13. Assuming the accuracy of the Initial Purchasers’ representations contained in the Purchase Agreement and the accuracy of the Company’s representations contained in the Purchase Agreement, no registration of the Securities or the Shares is required under the Securities Act for the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Indentures or for the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, and it is not necessary to qualify the Indentures under the Trust Indenture Act (it being understood that, in each case, no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent resale of the Securities or the consequences thereof).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“ Morgan Stanley ”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with FireEye, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), providing for the offering (the “ Offering ”) by the several initial purchasers who are parties thereto, including Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (collectively, the “ Initial Purchasers ”), of Convertible Senior Notes due 2035 of the Company (the “ Series A Notes ”) and Convertible Senior Notes due 2035 of the Company (the “ Series B Notes ,” and together with the Series A Notes, the “ Securities ”).

To induce the Initial Purchasers that may participate in the Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the final offering memorandum (the “ Restricted Period ”) relating to the Offering (the “ Final Memorandum ”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of

(b) (i) the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options, insofar as such option is outstanding as of the date of the Final Memorandum, (ii) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into Common Stock to the Company upon a vesting event of the Company’s securities, including, without limitation, restricted stock units, or upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities on a “cashless” or “net exercise” or “net issuance” basis to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise, or (iii) the sale of shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding restricted stock units to cover the payment of tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of such awards, provided that in the case of either (i) or (ii), no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made within 30 days after the date of the Final Memorandum, and after such 30th day, any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that (a) the filing relates to the circumstances described in (i) or (ii), as the case may be, (b) no shares were sold by the reporting person and (c) in the case of (i), the shares received upon exercise of the option are subject to a lock-up agreement with the Initial Purchasers of the Offering;

(c) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to the Company pursuant to agreements under which the shares were issued and the Company has the option to repurchase such shares or securities or a right of first refusal with respect to transfers of such shares or securities, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made within 30 days after the date of the Final Memorandum, and after such 30th day, any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that (i) the filing relates to the transfer of such shares or securities to the Company pursuant to such repurchase option or right of first refusal, as the case may be, and (ii) no shares were sold by the reporting person;

(d) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“ Rule 10b5-1 ”) for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a

 

B-2


public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period;

(e) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock that occurs solely by operation of law or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement;

(g) sales of Common Stock made pursuant to a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 that has been entered into by the undersigned prior to the date of this agreement; provided , that to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding any such sales, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that the sale was effected pursuant to a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

This agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) the date the Company advises the Representatives, in writing, prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Offering, (b) the date of the termination of the Purchase Agreement if prior to the closing of the Offering, (c) August 15, 2015, if the Purchase Agreement has not been executed by that date, or (d) the consummation of a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Common Stock involving a change of control of the Company (as defined below), provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Common Stock owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this agreement. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a “ change of control ” means the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Offering), of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock if, after such transfer, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transfer do not own at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity).

 

B-3


The undersigned understands that the Company and the Initial Purchasers are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Initial Purchasers.

 

Very truly yours,

Re: Forward Stock Purchase Transaction

 

 

Dear Sir / Madam:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “ Confirmation ”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“ Dealer ”) and FireEye, Inc. (“ Issuer ” or “ Counterparty ”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “ Transaction ”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “ Swap Definitions ”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ” and together with the Swap Definitions, the “ Definitions ”) in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ ISDA ”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions shall govern and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Dealer as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein) shall be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ Master Agreement ”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference to choice of law doctrine), (ii) the election of US Dollars (“ USD ”) as the Termination Currency, (iii) the election of an executed guarantee of Morgan Stanley (“ Guarantor ”) dated as of the Trade Date in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A as a Credit Support Document, (iv) the designation of Guarantor as Credit Support Provider in relation to Dealer and (v) (a) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Master Agreement shall apply to Dealer with a “Threshold Amount” of three percent of the shareholders’ equity of Guarantor, (b) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi), (c) “Specified Indebtedness” shall have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of Guarantor’s (or its subsidiaries’) banking business and (d) the following language shall be added to the end thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Master Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Master Agreement.

Counterparty shall give contemporaneous written notice to Dealer of any Repurchase, and Dealer shall give prompt written notice to Counterparty of its completion of any unwind activity with respect to Dealer’s Hedge Positions as a result of such Repurchase.

(f) The Transaction was approved by the board of directors of Counterparty, and Counterparty is entering into the Transaction solely for the purposes stated in such board resolution. There is no internal policy of Counterparty, whether written or oral, that would prohibit Counterparty from entering into any aspect of the Transaction, including, but not limited to, the purchases of Shares to be made pursuant hereto.

(g) Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

(h) On and immediately after the Trade Date and the Prepayment Date (A) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct the business of Counterparty, (C) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature and does not intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature, (D) Counterparty is not, and will not be, “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”)), and (E) Counterparty could have purchased Shares with an aggregate purchase price equal to the Prepayment Amount in compliance with the corporate laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.

(i) Counterparty has made, and will make, all filings required to be made by it with the SEC with respect to the Transaction contemplated hereby.

(j) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or

 

9


by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or (ii) violate any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or (iii) conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty is a party or by which Counterparty is bound or to which Counterparty is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Counterparty.

(k) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or state securities laws.

(m) No U.S. state or local law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, other than any regulation that Dealer would be subject to as a result of its being a regulated entity under various applicable laws, including U.S. securities laws and FINRA.

(n) On the Trade Date and on any day during a Prohibited Period, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.

II. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty and Dealer. Counterparty and Dealer hereby represent and warrant to Dealer and Counterparty, respectively, on the date hereof that:

7. Other Provisions.

(a) Opinions . On or prior to the Effective Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Effective Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, with respect to the due incorporation, existence and good standing of Counterparty in Delaware, the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Confirmation, and, in respect of the execution, delivery and performance of this Confirmation, the absence of any conflict with or breach of any material agreement required to be filed as an exhibit to Counterparty’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Counterparty’s certificate of incorporation or Counterparty’s by-laws.

(b) Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 128.04 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 20.63 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s

 

10


hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

(c) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Series A Notes” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason, or Counterparty fails to deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel as required pursuant to Section 7(a), in each case by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Prepayment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Prepayment Date or such later date, the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”) on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

(d) Transfer or Assignment .

(i) Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign (a “ Transfer ”) all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such Transfer or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer or Guarantor or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (or to any other third party whose obligations are guaranteed by an entity with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness) equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. Dealer shall promptly provide written notice to Counterparty of any such Transfer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Forward Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition

 

11


described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 7(f) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Forward Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations (a “ Dealer Affiliated Entity ”). Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance by such Dealer Affiliated Entity of Dealer’s obligations hereunder.

(e) Staggered Settlement . If upon advice of counsel with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures applicable to Dealer, including any requirements, policies or procedures relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder that would be customarily applicable to transactions of this type by Dealer, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on any Settlement Date for the Transaction, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to such Settlement Date (a “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Daily Number of Shares otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on a Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

 

  (1) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date or delivery times;

 

  (2) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

 

  (3) the Physical Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Daily Number of Shares otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times as specified by Dealer in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.

 

12


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely in connection with a Staggered Settlement Date, Dealer shall be entitled to deliver Shares to Counterparty from time to time prior to the date on which Dealer would be obligated to deliver them to Counterparty pursuant to the Physical Settlement terms set forth above, and Counterparty agrees to credit all such early deliveries against Dealer’s obligations hereunder in the direct order in which such obligations arise. No such early delivery of Shares will accelerate or otherwise affect any of Counterparty’s obligations to Dealer hereunder.

(f) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event, and if Dealer would owe any amount to Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Master Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), then Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below).

 

Share Termination Alternative: If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property: A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation, divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price: The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property or the per Share unwind price of any Share-linked Hedge Positions, as the case may be.
Share Termination Delivery Unit: One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other

 

13


property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver: Applicable
Other applicable provisions: If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

(g) Securities Contract, Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Early Termination Event, Extraordinary Event or Additional Disruption Event under this Confirmation with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

(h) No Collateral, Netting or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Master Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, to the contrary, no collateral is transferred in connection with the Transaction. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Master Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement) against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Master Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment.

(i) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

(j) Governing Law . This Confirmation will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine).

(k) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

14


(l) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(m) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valuation Dates and related Settlement Dates, or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Number of Shares hereunder, if Dealer reasonably determines, in its discretion, based on advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer, including any requirements, policies or procedures relating to Dealer’s hedging activities hereunder; provided that in no event shall Dealer have the right to so postpone or add any Valuation Date(s), Settlement Date(s) or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery beyond the 30th Scheduled Trading Day (excluding any Scheduled Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event occurs) immediately following the Maturity Date.

(n) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Master Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Master Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Master Agreement)).

(o) Payment by Counterparty . In the event that, following payment of the Prepayment Amount, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default and, as a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, in each case, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

(p) Delivery or Receipt of Cash . For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Prepayment Amount by Counterparty and receipt by Counterparty of any payment pursuant to the provisions under the heading “Dividends” in Section 2, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to pay or receive cash, except in circumstances where payment or receipt of cash is within Counterparty’s control or in those circumstances in which holders of Shares would also receive cash.

(q) Notice . Counterparty shall, upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event that would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or the satisfaction of any condition, constitute an Event of Default in respect of which it would be the Defaulting Party, a Termination Event in respect of which it would be an Affected Party, a Potential Adjustment Event or an Extraordinary Event (including without limitation an Additional Disruption Event), notify Dealer within one Scheduled Trading Day of the occurrence of obtaining such knowledge.

(r) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging .

(i) Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the final Valuation Date, Dealer and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) Dealer and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Forward Price; and (D) any market activities of Dealer and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

 

15


(ii) Dealer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to establish its initial Hedge Positions, or portion thereof, with respect to the Transaction that consists of over-the-counter equity derivatives transactions relating to the Shares with one or more counterparties that Dealer believes in good faith to be a purchaser of the Notes at or around the time it agrees to enter into such transaction with such counterparty (it being understood that for the avoidance of doubt, following the establishment of such Hedge Positions, Dealer shall not be required to maintain any such Hedge Positions with any such counterparties).

(s) Tax Matters .

(i) Withholding Tax imposed on payments to non-US counterparties under the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act . “Tax” and “Indemnifiable Tax”, each as defined in Section 14 of the Master Agreement, shall not include any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “ FATCA Withholding Tax ”).

Re: Forward Stock Purchase Transaction

 

 

Dear Sir / Madam:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “ Confirmation ”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“ Dealer ”) and FireEye, Inc. (“ Issuer ” or “ Counterparty ”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “ Transaction ”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “ Swap Definitions ”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ” and together with the Swap Definitions, the “ Definitions ”) in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ ISDA ”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions shall govern and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Dealer as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein) shall be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ Master Agreement ”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law (without reference to choice of law doctrine), (ii) the election of US Dollars (“ USD ”) as the Termination Currency, (iii) the election of an executed guarantee of Morgan Stanley (“ Guarantor ”) dated as of the Trade Date in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A as a Credit Support Document, (iv) the designation of Guarantor as Credit Support Provider in relation to Dealer and (v) (a) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Master Agreement shall apply to Dealer with a “Threshold Amount” of three percent of the shareholders’ equity of Guarantor, (b) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi), (c) “Specified Indebtedness” shall have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of Guarantor’s (or its subsidiaries’) banking business and (d) the following language shall be added to the end thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Master Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Master Agreement.

6. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

I. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Counterparty . Each of the representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of May 27, 2015, between Counterparty and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the Initial Purchasers party thereto (the “ Initial Purchasers ”), are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein. Furthermore, in addition to the representations set forth in the Master Agreement, Counterparty represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Dealer, on the date hereof, that:

(a) (i) It is not entering into the Transaction on behalf of or for the accounts of any other person or entity, and will not transfer or assign its obligations under the Transaction or any portion of such obligations to any other person or entity except in compliance with applicable laws and the terms of the Transaction; (ii) it understands that the Transaction is subject to complex risks which may arise without warning and may at times be volatile, and that losses may occur quickly and in unanticipated magnitude; (iii) it has consulted with its legal advisor(s) and has reached its own conclusions about the Transaction, and any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or economic consequences arising from the Transaction; (iv) it has concluded that the Transaction is suitable in light of its own investment objectives, financial condition and expertise; and (v) neither Dealer nor any of its affiliates has advised it with respect to any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or economic consequences arising from the Transaction, and neither Dealer nor any of its affiliates is acting as agent, or advisor for Counterparty in connection with the Transaction.

(b) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million.

(c) The reports and other documents filed by Counterparty with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) when considered as a whole (with the more recent such reports and documents deemed to update prior statements and

 

8


amend inconsistent statements contained in any earlier such reports and documents), do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Counterparty is not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding the business, operations or prospects of Counterparty or the Shares.

(d) Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) in violation of the Exchange Act.

(e) Counterparty is not on the Trade Date engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act of any securities of Counterparty, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any such distribution. Counterparty shall not, during (x) the period beginning on, and including, the 32 nd Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding June 1, 2022 and ending on, and including, the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following June 1, 2022 or (y) the period beginning on, and including, the date on which Counterparty repurchases Notes in connection with a “Fundamental Change” (as such term is defined in the indenture governing the Notes (the “ Indenture ”)), Counterparty or any subsidiary thereof enters into any agreement to repurchase or exchange any Notes other than pursuant to the terms of the Indenture or Counterparty or any subsidiary thereof repurchases or exchanges Notes pursuant to a tender offer for the Notes (each such event, a “ Repurchase ”), and ending on, and including, the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following completion by Dealer of any unwind activity with respect to Dealer’s Hedge Positions as a result of any such Repurchase ( provided that Dealer shall complete such activity within 35 Scheduled Trading Days (excluding any Scheduled Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event occurs) of any such Repurchase) (any period described in clause (x) or clause (y) a “ Prohibited Period ”), engage in any such distribution, other than a distribution meeting the requirements of one of the exceptions set forth in Rule 101(b) and Rule 102(b) of Regulation M. Counterparty shall give contemporaneous written notice to Dealer of any Repurchase, and Dealer shall give prompt written notice to Counterparty of its completion of any unwind activity with respect to Dealer’s Hedge Positions as a result of such Repurchase.

(f) The Transaction was approved by the board of directors of Counterparty, and Counterparty is entering into the Transaction solely for the purposes stated in such board resolution. There is no internal policy of Counterparty, whether written or oral, that would prohibit Counterparty from entering into any aspect of the Transaction, including, but not limited to, the purchases of Shares to be made pursuant hereto.

(g) Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of the Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

(h) On and immediately after the Trade Date and the Prepayment Date (A) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities, (B) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct the business of Counterparty, (C) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and obligations as such debts mature and does not intend to, or does not believe that it will, incur debt beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature, (D) Counterparty is not, and will not be, “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”)), and (E) Counterparty could have purchased Shares with an aggregate purchase price equal to the Prepayment Amount in compliance with the corporate laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.

(i) Counterparty has made, and will make, all filings required to be made by it with the SEC with respect to the Transaction contemplated hereby.

(j) Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or

 

9


by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or (ii) violate any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or (iii) conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty is a party or by which Counterparty is bound or to which Counterparty is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Counterparty.

(k) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or state securities laws.

(l) Counterparty is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated in this Confirmation, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(m) No U.S. state or local law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, other than any regulation that Dealer would be subject to as a result of its being a regulated entity under various applicable laws, including U.S. securities laws and FINRA.

(n) On the Trade Date and on any day during a Prohibited Period, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.

II. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty and Dealer. Counterparty and Dealer hereby represent and warrant to Dealer and Counterparty, respectively, on the date hereof that:

(a) Each is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, other than a person that is an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(18)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act).

(b) Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account without a view to the distribution or resale thereof and (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

7. Other Provisions.

(a) Opinions . On or prior to the Effective Date, Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Effective Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, with respect to the due incorporation, existence and good standing of Counterparty in Delaware, the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Confirmation, and, in respect of the execution, delivery and performance of this Confirmation, the absence of any conflict with or breach of any material agreement required to be filed as an exhibit to Counterparty’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Counterparty’s certificate of incorporation or Counterparty’s by-laws.

(b) Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 128.04 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 20.63 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to Dealer’s

 

10


hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

(c) Early Unwind . In the event the sale of the “Series B Notes” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not consummated with the Initial Purchasers for any reason, or Counterparty fails to deliver to Dealer an opinion of counsel as required pursuant to Section 7(a), in each case by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Prepayment Date, or such later date as agreed upon by the parties (the Prepayment Date or such later date, the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”) on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

(d) Transfer or Assignment .

(i) Dealer may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign (a “ Transfer ”) all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction (A) to any affiliate of Dealer (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Dealer’s credit rating at the time of such Transfer or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Dealer generally for similar transactions, by Dealer or Guarantor or (B) to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (or to any other third party whose obligations are guaranteed by an entity with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness) equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Dealer at the time of the transfer and (2) A- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or A3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Dealer. Dealer shall promptly provide written notice to Counterparty of any such Transfer. If at any time at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (B) the Forward Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or (C) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition

 

11


described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Dealer is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Dealer may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “ Terminated Portion ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 7(f) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Dealer to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). The “ Section 16 Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Forward Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the Number of Shares and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding. The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “ Dealer Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Restrictions ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “ Applicable Share Limit ” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations (a “ Dealer Affiliated Entity ”). Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance by such Dealer Affiliated Entity of Dealer’s obligations hereunder.

(e) Staggered Settlement . If upon advice of counsel with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies or procedures applicable to Dealer, including any requirements, policies or procedures relating to Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedging activities hereunder that would be customarily applicable to transactions of this type by Dealer, Dealer reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by Dealer on any Settlement Date for the Transaction, Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to such Settlement Date (a “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Daily Number of Shares otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on a Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

 

  (1) in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date or delivery times;

 

  (2) the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

 

  (3) the Physical Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Daily Number of Shares otherwise deliverable on such Nominal Settlement Date will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times as specified by Dealer in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.

 

12


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely in connection with a Staggered Settlement Date, Dealer shall be entitled to deliver Shares to Counterparty from time to time prior to the date on which Dealer would be obligated to deliver them to Counterparty pursuant to the Physical Settlement terms set forth above, and Counterparty agrees to credit all such early deliveries against Dealer’s obligations hereunder in the direct order in which such obligations arise. No such early delivery of Shares will accelerate or otherwise affect any of Counterparty’s obligations to Dealer hereunder.

(f) Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events. If (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction or (b) the Transaction is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event, and if Dealer would owe any amount to Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Master Agreement or any Cancellation Amount pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “ Payment Obligation ”), then Dealer shall satisfy the Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below).

 

Share Termination Alternative: If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
Share Termination Delivery Property: A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation, divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
Share Termination Unit Price: The value to Dealer of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property or the per Share unwind price of any Share-linked Hedge Positions, as the case may be.
Share Termination Delivery Unit: One Share or, if the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property as the result of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event (any such cash or other

 

13


property, the “ Exchange Property ”), a unit consisting of the type and amount of such Exchange Property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Failure to Deliver: Applicable
Other applicable provisions: If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to the Transaction means that the Share Termination Alternative is applicable to the Transaction.

(g) Securities Contract, Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Early Termination Event, Extraordinary Event or Additional Disruption Event under this Confirmation with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

(h) No Collateral, Netting or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Master Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, to the contrary, no collateral is transferred in connection with the Transaction. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Master Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Master Agreement) against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Master Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment.

(i) Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

(j) Governing Law . This Confirmation will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine).

(k) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

 

14


(l) Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(m) Right to Extend . Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valuation Dates and related Settlement Dates, or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Number of Shares hereunder, if Dealer reasonably determines, in its discretion, based on advice of counsel in the case of the immediately following clause (ii), that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or (ii) to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer, including any requirements, policies or procedures relating to Dealer’s hedging activities hereunder; provided that in no event shall Dealer have the right to so postpone or add any Valuation Date(s), Settlement Date(s) or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery beyond the 30th Scheduled Trading Day (excluding any Scheduled Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event occurs) immediately following the Maturity Date.

(n) Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Master Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Master Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position, or Illegality (as defined in the Master Agreement)).

(o) Payment by Counterparty . In the event that, following payment of the Prepayment Amount, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default and, as a result, Counterparty owes to Dealer an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty owes to Dealer, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, in each case, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

(p) Delivery or Receipt of Cash . For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Prepayment Amount by Counterparty and receipt by Counterparty of any payment pursuant to the provisions under the heading “Dividends” in Section 2, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to pay or receive cash, except in circumstances where payment or receipt of cash is within Counterparty’s control or in those circumstances in which holders of Shares would also receive cash.

(q) Notice . Counterparty shall, upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event that would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or the satisfaction of any condition, constitute an Event of Default in respect of which it would be the Defaulting Party, a Termination Event in respect of which it would be an Affected Party, a Potential Adjustment Event or an Extraordinary Event (including without limitation an Additional Disruption Event), notify Dealer within one Scheduled Trading Day of the occurrence of obtaining such knowledge.

(r) Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging .

Exhibit 99.1

FireEye, Inc. Announces $600 Million Convertible Notes Offering

MILPITAS, CA – May 26, 2015 – FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2035 (the “Series A notes”) and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2035 (the “Series B notes” and, together with the Series A notes, the “notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). FireEye also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Series A notes and up to an additional $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Series B notes.

The notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of FireEye, and interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of FireEye’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at FireEye’s election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, repurchase or redemption rights and other terms of the notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering by negotiations between FireEye and the initial purchasers of the notes.

FireEye expects to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the notes to pay the cost of the prepaid forward stock purchase transactions described below and to use the remaining proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, investments, working capital and potential acquisitions and strategic transactions. FireEye has no commitments with respect to any such acquisitions or investments at this time.

In connection with the issuance of the notes, FireEye expects to enter into privately negotiated prepaid forward stock purchase transactions (each a “prepaid forward”) with one of the initial purchasers of the notes (the “forward counterparty”), pursuant to which FireEye will purchase approximately $150.0 million worth of its common stock, for settlement on or around June 1, 2020 and June 1, 2022, respectively, subject to any early settlement, in whole or in part, of each prepaid forward. In the event that FireEye pays any cash dividends on its common stock, the forward counterparty will pay an equivalent amount to FireEye. The prepaid forwards are designed to facilitate privately negotiated derivative transactions between the forward counterparty and holders of the notes, including swaps, relating to the shares of FireEye’s common stock by which holders of the notes will establish short positions and otherwise hedge their investments in the notes concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes. However, investors may cause FireEye to increase the size of the prepaid forwards to facilitate larger initial hedge positions, which they may offset by purchasing FireEye’s common stock prior to or concurrently with the pricing of the notes. Facilitating investors’ hedge positions by entering into the prepaid forwards, particularly if investors purchase FireEye’s common stock on the pricing date, could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of FireEye’s common stock and effectively raise the initial conversion price of the notes. The shares to be purchased under each prepaid forward will be treated as retired for accounting purposes as of the effective date of each prepaid forward, but will remain outstanding for corporate law purposes, including for purposes of any future stockholders votes.


The forward counterparty has advised FireEye that in connection with entering into the prepaid forwards, it or its affiliate expects to enter into derivative transactions relating to FireEye’s common stock with purchasers of the notes who are hedging their exposure to the notes, and that it or its affiliate expects to purchase in secondary market transactions or otherwise acquire shares of FireEye’s common stock prior to or at the time of settlement of each prepaid forward. These activities could have the effect of increasing, or reducing the size of any decrease in, the price of the notes or FireEye’s common stock. In addition, the forward counterparty or its affiliate is likely to modify its hedge position by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to FireEye’s common stock and/or by purchasing shares of common stock of FireEye in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the effective maturity of the notes (including shortly before the maturity date under each prepaid forward, on or around any earlier observation period related to a conversion of such series of notes and on or around any election by the forward counterparty to settle all or a portion of a prepaid forward early).

The effect, if any, of any of these transactions and activities on the market price of FireEye’s common stock or the notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time, but any of these activities could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of FireEye’s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of holders of the notes to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of either series of notes, could affect the amount and value of the consideration that holders of such series of notes will receive upon conversion of the notes.

The notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act. Neither the notes nor the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have been, nor will be, registered under the Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful.

Exhibit 99.2

FireEye, Inc. Announces Pricing of $800 Million Convertible Notes Offering

MILPITAS, CA – May 28, 2015 – FireEye, Inc. (“FireEye”) (NASDAQ: FEYE) today announced the pricing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.000% convertible senior notes due 2035 (the “Series A notes”) and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2035 (the “Series B notes” and, together with the Series A notes, the “notes”), for a total aggregate principal amount of $800.0 million, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The size of the offering was increased from the previously announced $600 million total aggregate principal amount ($300.0 million principal amount of each of the Series A notes and the Series B notes). FireEye also granted the initial purchasers of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Series A notes and up to an additional $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Series B notes.

The sale of the notes to the initial purchasers is expected to settle on June 2, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to result in approximately $779.3 million in net proceeds to FireEye (or $896.3 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes of each series in full) after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by FireEye.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of FireEye. The Series A notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.000% per year and the Series B notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per year. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2015. The notes will mature on June 1, 2035, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

FireEye expects to use approximately $150.0 million of the net proceeds of the offering of the notes to pay the cost of the prepaid forward stock purchase transactions described below and to use the remaining proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, investments, working capital and potential acquisitions and strategic transactions.

The initial conversion rate for the Series A notes is 16.4572 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $60.76 per share) and the initial conversion rate for the Series B notes is 16.4572 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $60.76 per share). Conversions of the notes will be settled in cash, shares of FireEye’s common stock or a combination thereof, at FireEye’s election. The last reported sale price of FireEye’s common stock on May 27, 2015 was $45.01 per share.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2035, other than during the period from, and including, March 1, 2020 to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding June 1, 2020 in the case of the Series A notes, and other than during the period from, and including, March 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding June 1, 2022 in the case of the Series B notes, the notes will be convertible at the option of the note holders only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods.


During the period (i)(x) from, and including, March 1, 2020 to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding June 1, 2020, in the case of the Series A notes, and (y) from, and including, March 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding June 1, 2022, in the case of the Series B notes, and (ii) from, and including, March 1, 2035 to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, note holders may convert all or any portion of their notes at the conversion rate at any time regardless of these conditions.

Holders may require FireEye to repurchase the Series A notes for cash on specified dates beginning on June 1, 2020 and the Series B notes for cash on specified dates beginning on June 1, 2022, in each case at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. In addition, holders may require FireEye to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in each indenture governing the notes) at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

FireEye may not redeem the notes prior to June 1, 2020. On or after June 1, 2020, in the case of the Series A notes, FireEye may redeem for cash all or part of the Series A notes. On or after June 1, 2020 and prior to June 1, 2022, in the case of the Series B notes, FireEye may redeem for cash all or part of the Series B notes if the last reported sale price of FireEye’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for the Series B notes for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending not more than three trading days prior to the date on which FireEye provides notice of redemption (a “provisional redemption”). On or after June 1, 2022, in the case of the Series B notes, FireEye may redeem for cash all or part of the Series B notes regardless of the sales price condition described in the preceding sentence. The redemption price for each series of notes will equal the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

For (i) notes converted in connection with certain fundamental changes occurring prior to June 1, 2020, in the case of the Series A notes, and June 1, 2022, in the case of the Series B notes and (ii) Series B notes converted in connection with a provisional redemption prior to June 1, 2022, FireEye will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for the converted notes.

In connection with the issuance of the notes, FireEye entered into privately negotiated prepaid forward stock purchase transactions (each a “prepaid forward”) with one of the initial purchasers of the notes (the “forward counterparty”), pursuant to which FireEye will purchase approximately $150.0 million worth of its common stock for settlement on or around June 1, 2020 and June 1, 2022, respectively, subject to any early settlement, in whole or in part, of each prepaid forward. In the event that FireEye pays any cash dividends on its common stock, the forward counterparty will pay an equivalent amount to FireEye. The prepaid forwards are designed to facilitate privately negotiated derivative transactions between the forward counterparty and holders of the notes, including swaps, relating to the shares of FireEye’s common stock by which holders of the notes will establish short positions and otherwise hedge their investments in the notes concurrently with, or shortly after, the

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful. The notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, will not be registered under the Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state laws.
