Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On May 29, 2021, FireEye, Inc. (the “Company”) and
Polaris Buyer LLC, organized by a consortium led by Symphony Technology Group (“Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell its products business
(the “Business”) to Buyer in exchange for (i) $1,200,000,000 in cash consideration and (ii) the assumption of certain
liabilities of the Business as specified in the Purchase Agreement (such transaction, the “Sale”).
Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Buyer have made customary
representations and warranties to each other and have agreed to customary covenants relating to the Sale.
The Sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary
closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of any required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976 and (ii) the receipt of certain specified foreign governmental approvals. There is no financing condition
to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the transaction. Buyer is funding the purchase price through a combination of equity and debt
financing. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the Agreement
if the closing of the Sale has not occurred on or before March 1, 2022.
The Purchase Agreement also provides for the Company and Buyer to enter
into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement, a Reseller and Market Cooperation Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement and an IP License
Agreement upon the closing of the Sale. Under the IP License Agreement, each party will grant certain licenses to the other party with
respect to certain intellectual property rights and technology transferred by the Company in the Sale and retained by the Company after
the consummation of the Sale.
The above description of the Purchase Agreement and the Sale is only
a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a
copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The representations,
warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specified
dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting
parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement. The representations and warranties have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the
Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting
parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or
any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or Buyer. Moreover, information
concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which
subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

discretion from time to time on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions and through Rule 10b5-1 plans and at
