Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Merger Agreement
On November 20, 2016, Symantec Corporation (the Company), L1116 Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), and LifeLock, Inc., a Delaware corporation (LifeLock), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into LifeLock (the Merger), with LifeLock continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the conditions therein, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock of LifeLock, par value $0.001 per share, (the Common Stock) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares held by (1) the Company, Merger Sub, LifeLock (including shares held in treasury) or their respective subsidiaries; and (2) LifeLock stockholders who have properly and validly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $24.00, without interest thereon (the Per Share Amount). In addition, subject to certain exceptions, unvested option awards and unvested restricted stock unit awards of LifeLock will be converted (pursuant to an exchange ratio determined based on the Companys stock price at closing) into corresponding awards that are subject to shares of Company common stock, with generally the same terms and conditions applicable to the original awards. All shares of Common Stock underlying vested option awards and vested restricted stock unit awards will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Amount (or, in the case of an option award, the spread between the Per Share Amount and the applicable exercise price).
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including (1) the receipt of the necessary approval from LifeLocks stockholders; (2) the expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act; and (3) the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger. Each of the Companys and LifeLocks obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including (1) subject to specific standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party; (2) performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (3) in the case of the Company only, the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to LifeLock.
The Company and LifeLock have each made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and have agreed to various customary covenants and agreements, including, among others, an agreement by LifeLock regarding the operation of the business of LifeLock and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Merger. LifeLock is also subject to customary restrictions on its ability to solicit acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, prior to the receipt of the approval of the Merger from LifeLocks stockholders, the solicitation restrictions are subject to a customary fiduciary out provision that allows LifeLock, under certain circumstances, to provide information to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, third parties with respect to an acquisition proposal if LifeLocks Board of Directors determines in good faith that such acquisition proposal either constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, a superior proposal and that the failure to do so would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and LifeLock. LifeLock will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $87.5 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated by (1) the Company if LifeLocks Board of Directors withholds, withdraws, amends, qualifies or modifies, or publicly proposes to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, its recommendation of the Merger; or (2) LifeLock in connection with LifeLock accepting a superior proposal prior to the receipt of approval of the Merger from LifeLocks stockholders. The termination fee will also be payable by LifeLock to the Company in certain circumstances if the Merger Agreement is terminated and prior to such termination (but after the date of the Merger Agreement) an acquisition proposal is made or renewed publicly disclosed and within one year after such termination of the Merger Agreement, LifeLock consummates an acquisition transaction or enters into a definitive agreement providing for an acquisition transaction and such acquisition transaction is subsequently consummated
(whether such consummation occurs before or after the one-year anniversary of such termination). The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1, to the Form 8-K filed by LifeLock on November 21, 2016 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a support agreement (Support Agreement) with each of Hilary Schneider, Todd Davis, Bessemer Venture Partners and David Cowan. The Support Agreements provide that the signatories thereto will generally vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Support Agreements terminate on the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and the effective time.
The foregoing description of the Support Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Support Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.02 and incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement, the Support Agreement and the above description have been included to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, LifeLock, Merger Sub or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or stockholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each contracting party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors or securityholders. Investors and securityholders should be aware that the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof may not reflect the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, LifeLock, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, businesses, or stockholders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and securityholders should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company and its subsidiaries that the Company includes in reports, statements and other filings it makes with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Financing Letters
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on November 20, 2016, the Company entered into a commitment and engagement letter (the Commitment Letter) with Bank of America, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Bank PLC, Citigroup Global Market Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (together with its designated affiliates, Commitment Parties), pursuant to which, among other things, the Commitment Parties committed to provide a senior bridge loan facility (the Bridge Loan Facility) in an aggregate amount of $750 million. The commitments of the Commitment Parties to provide the Bridge Loan Facility are subject to customary conditions, including the consummation of the Merger, absence of a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to LifeLock, the execution and delivery of definitive loan documentation, the accuracy of certain specified representations and other customary closing conditions.
Certain of the Commitment Parties who are existing lenders of the Company have agreed to consent to amend (the Credit Facility Amendments) the Companys existing amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of August 1, 2016, by and among the Company and the existing lenders party thereto and the existing term loan agreement, dated as of August 1, 2016, by and among a subsidiary of the Company and the existing lenders party thereto, among other things, modify certain financial covenants and related definitions, which amendments are expected to be sought and effected as soon as practical and no later than December 1, 2016. The failure of the Credit Facility Amendments to be approved shall not release the Commitment Parties from their commitments to provide the Bridge Loan Facility or affect the Companys ability to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Laws or result in the Company being required to register any class of its equity securities with the SEC. As used herein, the term Expiration Time as it applies to any Stockholder shall mean the earlier of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 1.1 shall be null and void ab initio with respect to Shares so transferred.

5.3 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief .

Therefore, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Parent upon any such violation of this Agreement, Parent shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by injunctive relief, specific performance, or by any other means available to Parent at law or in equity and each Stockholder hereby waives any and all defenses that could exist in its favor in connection with such injunction or enforcement and waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such injunction or enforcement.

5.5 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in Interest; Assignment . This Agreement and the documents, instruments and other agreements among the parties as contemplated by, referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) are not intended to confer,
5
and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. The representations and warranties and covenants of each Stockholder contained herein shall not survive the Closing, and no claim may be brought with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder following the Closing. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any Stockholder without the prior written consent of Parent, and any such assignment or delegation that is not consented to shall be null and void. Parent may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent without the prior written consent of any Stockholder. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and against, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any Person to whom any Shares are Transferred).

Any agreement on the part of Parent or any Stockholder to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the other. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision herein.
5.7 Severability . In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
5.8 Remedies Cumulative . Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred by this Agreement, or by applicable Law on such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
5.9 Governing Law . The internal laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of its conflicts of law principles, shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and of the documents referred to herein, and in respect of the Merger, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Chosen Courts. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 5.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by any applicable Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
