The Issuer entered into the Purchase Agreement with Parent, pursuant to which the Issuer acquired all of Parent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Edgecast and certain specified assets for an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock representing a value of approximately $300 million (the “Purchaser Common Share Closing Consideration”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser Common Share Closing Consideration also included a $30 million investment in the Issuer by Parent. Parent can also receive up to an additional 12.7 million shares of Common Stock representing up to an additional $100 million in consideration, over the period ending on the third anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, subject to the achievement of certain share-price targets. The stockholders or partners, as applicable, of the Issuer and Parent have approved the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference.

Stockholders Agreement

At the Closing, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company and College Holdings entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company appointed the two designees discussed below designated by College Holdings to the Board. Under the Stockholders Agreement, for so long as College Holdings beneficially owns a number of Common Stock representing more than 10% of the then outstanding Common Stock, College Holdings will maintain the right to nominate for election designees designated by College Holdings. The Company will also cause the Board to nominate for election that number of individuals designated by College Holdings that, if elected, would result in three designees of College Holdings serving on the Board until the earlier of such time as College Holdings beneficially owns a number of Common Stock representing less than 30% of the number of outstanding Common Stock, after which time College Holding’s designation rights will be reduced to two designees until such time as College Holdings beneficially owns Common Stock representing less than 20% of the number of outstanding Common Stock, after which time College Holding’s designation rights will be reduced to one designee.

At the Closing, the Board consists of eight directors: two designees of College Holdings and six individuals who were directors of the Company prior to the Closing. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Board will also appoint an additional designee designated by College Holdings, who shall be an independent director under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq Global Select Market and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement and subject to certain exceptions, College Holdings agreed, for the Relevant Restricted Period (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) after the Closing, not to Transfer (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) any Common Stock and Company Earnout Shares held by College Holdings as of the Closing after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Restructuring (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

The Stockholders Agreement also contains certain restrictions on the Company, for so long as College Holdings continues to beneficially own at least 50% of the Common Stock, the Company may not take the following actions without the prior written consent of College Holdings, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld: (i) amend the organizational documents of the Company or any of its material subsidiaries in any manner that would be disproportionately adverse to College Holdings, (ii) change the size of the Board and (iii) undertake any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with College Holdings (together with any other party that may become a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, “Holders”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, and on the terms and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file on or prior to the first expiration date of the Relevant Restricted Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) a registration statement registering Common Stock held by Holders, including any Company Earnout Shares acquired by Holders in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

The Registration Rights Agreement also provides Holders with certain customary piggyback registration rights.

These registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration or offering and the Company’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C and is incorporated herein by reference.
