Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On May 24, 2013, SolarWinds, Inc., through one of its subsidiaries, SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC (collectively referred to as “SolarWinds”) completed its acquisition of N-able Technologies International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“N-able”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated May 17, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K. N-able is a leader in Cloud-based remote monitoring and management and service automation software for Managed Service Providers.
Upon completion of the acquisition, N-able became a subsidiary of SolarWinds in exchange for a cash payment of $120.0 million plus an amount equal to the excess of N-able's cash and other current assets minus current liabilities as of the closing date (the “Closing Cash Consideration”), all as set forth in the Merger Agreement. $12.0 million of the Closing Cash Consideration is being held in escrow as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the equity holders of N-able. The foregoing description of the transaction is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement.
Cautionary Note Regarding Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It contains representations and warranties of N-able and SolarWinds made to and solely for the benefit of the parties. These representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, certain warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were only made as of the date of the Merger Agreement and are modified in important part by the underlying confidential disclosure schedules.
