On May 14, 2018, Cision Ltd. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) originally filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 17, 2018, as amended, was declared effective on May 14, 2018. The Registration Statement registers ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) of the Company issuable as part of the Company’s previously announced offer to each holder of its public and private warrants entitled to purchase one Ordinary Share for a purchase price of $11.50 (the “Warrants”) to receive 0.26 Ordinary Shares in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”). The Registration Statement also solicits consents from holders of the Warrants to amend the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2017, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, which governs all of the Warrants, to permit the Company to require that each outstanding Warrant be converted into 0.234 Ordinary Shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the ratio applicable to the Offer, which amendment would be adopted with the approval of at least a majority of the outstanding Warrants. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated herein by reference.
