Item 1.01    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 20, 2020, PagerDuty, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain merger-related wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, Rundeck, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rundeck”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative of Rundeck indemnitors, pursuant to which, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Company will acquire Rundeck (the “Acquisition”).

Upon consummation of the Acquisition, all outstanding shares of Rundeck capital stock, options to purchase Rundeck capital stock and warrants to purchase Rundeck capital stock will be cancelled in exchange for aggregate consideration of $100 million, subject to certain adjustments, consisting of up to $60 million in cash and the balance in shares of Common Stock of Parent, par value $0.000005 per share (“Company Common Stock”) (the “Stock Consideration”); provided, that (a) vested options to purchase Rundeck capital stock held by employees of Rundeck who remain or become employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries following the Closing will be cashed out on a net basis reflecting the applicable aggregate exercise price of such vested options, (b) unvested options to purchase Rundeck capital stock held by employees of Rundeck who remain or become employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries following the Closing will be cancelled and substituted with a corresponding stock option of the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, and (c) all unvested options to purchase Rundeck stock held by any former employees will be cancelled for no consideration. The per share portion of the Stock Consideration will be based on the volume-weighted average price of a share of Company Common Stock over the ten consecutive trading day period ended on and including the third trading day immediately prior to the date of the closing of the Acquisition. In addition, the Company will establish a retention pool in an aggregate amount of $15 million in the form of restricted stock units for Company Common Stock that will be granted to certain employees of Rundeck who remain or become employees of the Company that will be subject to a time-based vesting schedule in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Certain portions of the consideration otherwise payable in respect of shares of Rundeck capital stock held by certain founding employees of Rundeck are further subject to holdback by Rundeck (each a “Holdback Arrangement”). Such consideration held back pursuant to the Holdback Arrangements is scheduled to vest pursuant to certain time-based and milestone-based conditions, subject to the applicable employee continuing to provide services to the Company through each vesting date, subject to vesting acceleration upon certain qualifying terminations of employment.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Rundeck. The agreement also contains customary indemnities, with respect to which 15% of the aggregate value of the merger consideration payable to Rundeck indemnitors in respect of their shares of Rundeck capital stock, options to purchase Rundeck capital stock and warrants to purchase Rundeck capital stock will be held in escrow to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of Rundeck. The Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to occur in October 2020. Either the Company or Rundeck may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Closing has not occurred on or before October 31, 2020.
