As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on July 3, 2019, the Purchaser commenced an exchange offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Tableau (“Tableau Class A Common Stock,” and such shares, “Tableau Class A Shares”), and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Tableau (“Tableau Class B Common Stock,” and such shares, “Tableau Class B Shares,” and Tableau Class B Common Stock together with Tableau Class A Common Stock, “Tableau Common Stock,” and such shares “Tableau Shares”), with each Tableau Share accepted by the Purchaser in the Offer to be exchanged for 1.103 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Salesforce (“Salesforce Common Stock”) plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Salesforce Common Stock, without interest, and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding taxes (together, the “Transaction Consideration”).
The Offer expired at midnight, Eastern Time, at the end of July 31, 2019 (the “Expiration Time”). The depositary and exchange agent for the Offer has advised that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 49,138,989 Tableau Class A Shares and 10,348,127 Tableau Class B Shares had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, of which Tableau Shares represented approximately 68.0% of the aggregate voting power of Tableau Shares outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offer.
