Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement

On September 6, 2018, SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SS&C”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between SS&C and Impala Private Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), an affiliate of Siris Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Siris”).

The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, SS&C will acquire from the Seller all of the outstanding membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) of Impala Private Holdings, II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Intralinks”). At the closing and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, SS&C will purchase from the Seller all of the Membership Interests in exchange for (i) approximately $1 billion in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) approximately $500 million in shares of common stock of SS&C (the “Equity Consideration”). The Cash Consideration is subject to adjustment based on Intralinks’s actual working capital at closing compared to an agreed target, and net indebtedness and unpaid transaction expenses of Intralinks. The number of shares of common stock of SS&C included in the Equity Consideration will be determined by reference to the volume-weighted average price per share of such common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market for each of the thirty consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day immediately preceding the date of the closing. The Equity Consideration and the Cash Consideration are subject to adjustment to ensure that in no event will the Equity Consideration exceed 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SS&C as of immediately prior to the closing.

Each party’s obligation to complete the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to various customary conditions, including (i) there being no applicable law, order, judgment or other legal restraint enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period, (iii) performance by the other party in all material respects of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, subject to specified materiality standards. Closing is not subject to any vote of SS&C’s stockholders or conditioned on the availability, obtaining or receipt of financing.

The Seller and SS&C have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement. The Seller has agreed, among other things, subject to certain exceptions, to cause Intralinks and its subsidiaries to conduct their businesses in the ordinary course in all material respects between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the closing and not to take certain specified actions during such period. Each of SS&C and the Seller are also required to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable laws to consummate the transaction.

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of SS&C and the Seller, and under certain other conditions, including in the event the transaction is not completed by January 31, 2019.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Exhibit 2.1 has been included herein to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about SS&C, Siris, the Seller, Intralinks or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures; may not have been intended to be statements of fact, but rather, as a method of allocating contractual risk and governing the contractual rights and relationships between the parties to the Purchase Agreement; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of SS&C, Siris, the Seller, Intralinks or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. 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 SS&C’s public disclosures.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information from Item 1.01 related to the issuance of shares of SS&C’s common stock forming the Equity Consideration is incorporated by reference hereunder. There were and will be no underwriters involved in the issuance of such common stock.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

A copy of the press release of SS&C dated September 6, 2018 announcing execution of the Purchase Agreement is attached

The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
