Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 4, 2020, Progress Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Progress”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Go Big Transitory Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Progress (“Merger Sub”), Chef Software Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chef”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Chef (the “Merger”), with Chef surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Progress. The aggregate purchase price for all of the outstanding equity of Chef is approximately $220 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments (the “Aggregate Consideration”), which will be paid in cash. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a total of $12 million will be withheld from the Aggregate Consideration and deposited into escrow to secure certain indemnification and other potential obligations of Chef’s equity holders, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger, Progress has agreed to pay certain transaction bonuses at the closing of the Merger in an aggregate amount of $2.5 million to certain Chef employees.

Each of Progress, Merger Sub and Chef have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in connection with the Merger. The representations and warranties of the parties generally survive for a period of 15 months after the closing of the Merger, subject to specified exceptions. The obligations of Progress and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Chef, on the other hand, to effect the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including, among other things, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. There is no financing condition to consummate the Merger. The Merger Agreement also provides each of Progress and Chef with customary termination rights. Subject to certain exceptions, terms and limitations described in the Merger Agreement, Chef’s equity holders are obligated to indemnify and hold Progress harmless against any and all losses resulting from, constituting or arising out of any breach of or inaccuracy in a representations or warranty of Chef, any breach of any covenant of Chef, and certain other specified matters.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Merger do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties: (i) may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date; (ii) are modified and qualified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules; (iii) may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors; or (iv) may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Progress’s public disclosures. For the foregoing reasons, the representations and warranties should not be relied upon as statements of factual information.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On September 8, 2020, Progress issued a press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth in or incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.






NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Any statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K or any exhibit hereto about future expectations, plans and prospects for Progress, including statements about the expected timetable for consummation of the Merger, and any other statements about Progress or Chef, or about Progress’s future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects with respect to the Merger, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “anticipate” and “continue,” the negative of these words, other terms of similar meaning or the use of future dates) should also be considered to be forward looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements include: uncertainties as to the timing of the closing of Progress’s acquisition of Chef; the possibility that various closing conditions for the Merger may not be satisfied or waived, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the Merger; the effects of disruption from the Merger making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, licensees, other business partners or governmental entities; other business effects, including the effects of industry, economic or political conditions outside of Progress’s or Chef’s control; transaction costs; actual or contingent liabilities; uncertainties as to whether anticipated synergies will be realized; and uncertainties as to whether Chef’s business will be successfully integrated with Progress’s business. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with Progress’s business, please refer to Progress’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019, its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended February 29, 2020 and its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended May 31, 2020. Progress undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Buyer; provided that if the Payment Fund is not sufficient to pay the Closing Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, Buyer shall deposit additional funds into the Payment Fund to the extent necessary to ensure the Payment Fund is sufficient to pay the Closing Stock Consideration to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.1. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this Section 2.2(a).
(b)    Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a Letter of Transmittal and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of such Certificate in exchange for the applicable Aggregate Consideration that is or may become payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent and delivery of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to the Closing Stock Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as determined in accordance with Section 2.1 and reflected on the Closing Date Allocation Schedule attached to the Closing Payment Certificate. If payment in respect of any Certificate is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be transferable and be properly endorsed in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal or any related stock power shall be properly guaranteed and that the Person requesting such payment shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer and the Paying Agent that any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Closing Stock Consideration and the applicable portion of any Future Payments that become payable pursuant to this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 2.2(f), each holder of Certificate(s) shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Aggregate Consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled until such Certificate(s) are properly surrendered.

-7-



(c)    No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All consideration paid following the surrender for exchange of Certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock (including any Future Payments payable with respect thereto) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock, and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock which were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to Section 2.2(e).
(d)    Termination of Payment Fund. Any amount deposited with the Paying Agent that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Stock until twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Buyer (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Law), upon demand, and any holder of Company Stock who is entitled to such amount under this Section 2.2 shall (subject to Section 2.2(e)) be entitled to seek payment of such amount from the Buyer only as a general creditor thereof.
(e)    No Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the Buyer, the Transitory Subsidiary, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Company Equityholder for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates shall not have been exchanged prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the related consideration payable pursuant to this Article II would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such consideration in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(f)    Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact and a customary indemnification of the Company and the Buyer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Aggregate Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement. The Paying Agent or the Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to give the Paying Agent and/or the Buyer a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent or the Buyer with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
2.3    Dissenting Shares.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any portion of the Aggregate Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

-8-



(b)    If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive any portion of the Aggregate Consideration otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such shares.
(c)    The Company shall give the Buyer (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not settle or make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless the Buyer shall have given its written consent to such settlement, payment or settlement offer.
2.4    Company Equityholder Representative.
(a)    By their execution of a Principal Stockholder Agreement, a Joinder Agreement, or a Letter of Transmittal, approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, the Company Equityholders hereby irrevocably (subject only to Section 2.4(d)) appoint the Company Equityholder Representative as the representative, attorney-in-fact and agent of the Company Equityholders for all purposes in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements ancillary hereto and in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements ancillary hereto (but excluding, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Designated Employee Agreement). In connection therewith, the Company Equityholder Representative is authorized to do or refrain from doing all further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Company Equityholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate, and shall have the power and authority to:
(i)    act for any or all of the Company Equityholders with regard to all matters pertaining to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement;
(ii)    act for any or all of the Company Equityholders to transact matters of litigation;
(iii)    execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, certificates and documents that the Company Equityholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including delivering any update to or correction, amendment or modification of the Closing Date Allocation Schedule permitted by Section 2.7(a);

-9-



(iv)    receive and administer the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount;
(v)    do or refrain from doing, on behalf of any or all of the Company Equityholders, any further act or deed that the Company Equityholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in the Company Equityholder Representative’s discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, in each case as fully and completely as any Company Equityholder could do if personally present;
(vi)    give and receive all notices required to be given or received by the Company Equityholders under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement;
(vii)    give any written direction to the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent;
(viii)    agree to, negotiate and/or comply with the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Statement, the Final Closing Adjustment Items and the Final Closing Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6;
(ix)    agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises and/or comply with arbitration awards and court orders with respect to claims for indemnification made by any Buyer Indemnified Party under Article VIII; and
(x)    receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and/or the Escrow Agreement.
(b)    All decisions and actions of the Company Equityholder Representative on behalf of the Company Equityholders shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside of this Agreement and shall be binding upon all Company Equityholders, and no Company Equityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.
(c)    At the Effective Time, (i) the Company Equityholder Representative shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Buyer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and (ii) the Buyer shall pay the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount to the Company Equityholder Representative, which Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount shall be used for the purpose of paying directly, or reimbursing the Company Equityholder Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto. The Company Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Company Equityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Company Equityholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount other than as a result of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company Equityholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not

-10-



voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. For tax purposes, the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Equityholders at the time of Closing. In no event shall the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation (or any of their respective Affiliates) be obligated to reimburse the Company Equityholder Representative for any such expenses. Upon the determination of the Company Equityholder Representative that retaining any portion of the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount is no longer necessary, the Company Equityholder Representative shall deliver any then remaining portion of the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount (the “Company Equityholder Representative Account Payment”) to the Paying Agent and the Surviving Corporation for further distribution to the Company Equityholders pursuant to Section 2.7(c). The Company Equityholder Representative shall hold, invest, reinvest and disburse the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount in trust for all of the Company Equityholders, and the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount shall not be used for any other purpose and shall not be available to the Buyer to satisfy any claims hereunder.
(d)    The Company Equityholder Representative shall act for the Company Equityholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the manner the Company Equityholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Equityholders. The Company Equityholder Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Company Equityholders notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Company Equityholders. In taking any action as Company Equityholder Representative, the Company Equityholder Representative may rely conclusively, without any further inquiry or investigation, upon any certification or confirmation, oral or written, given by any Person whom the Company Equityholder Representative reasonably believes to be authorized thereunto. The Company Equityholder Representative may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of counsel, and the Company Equityholder Representative shall not be liable to any Company Equityholder for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Company Equityholder Representative based on such advice. The Company Equityholder Representative undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Company Equityholder Representative. The Company Equityholder Representative shall not have any liability of any kind to any of the Company Equityholders for any act done or omitted in connection with the Company Equityholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto while acting in good faith. The Company Equityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Equityholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Company Equityholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company Equityholder Representative, the Company Equityholder Representative will

-11-



reimburse the Company Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Company Equityholder Representative by the Company Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Company Equityholder Representative from (i) the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Company Equityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Company Equityholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Company Equityholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Company Equityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Company Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided by the Company Equityholders to the Company Equityholder Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Company Equityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    In the event the Company Equityholder Representative becomes unable to perform the Company Equityholder Representative’s responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Equityholders (acting by a written instrument signed by holders of Company Stock who held, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, a majority (by voting power) of the then outstanding shares of Company Stock) shall select another representative to fill the vacancy of the Company Equityholder Representative, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Company Equityholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company Equityholder Representative may be removed only upon delivery of written notice to the Buyer signed by Persons who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, held a majority (by voting power) of the then outstanding shares of Company Stock; provided that no such removal shall be effective until such time as a successor Company Equityholder Representative shall have been validly appointed hereunder. The Company Equityholder Representative shall provide the Buyer prompt written notice of any replacement of the Company Equityholder Representative, including the identity and address of the new Company Equityholder Representative. Upon any replacement of the Company Equityholder Representative, the Company Equityholder Representative being replaced shall transfer to the new Company Equityholder Representative the balance of any unexpended Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount.
(f)    For all purposes of this Agreement:
(i)    the Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Company Equityholder Representative as to the settlement of any disputes or claims under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, or any

-12-



other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Company Equityholder Representative hereunder, and no party hereunder or any Company Equityholder shall have any cause of action against the Buyer for any action taken by the Buyer in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Company Equityholder Representative;
(ii)    the provisions of this Section 2.4 are independent and severable, are irrevocable (subject only to Section 2.4(d)) and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Company Equityholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(iii)    the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Company Equityholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Company Equityholder shall mean and include the successors to the rights of each applicable Company Equityholder hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the Laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.
2.5    Treatment of Company Equity Awards and Company Warrants.
(a)    Company Equity Awards.
(i)    As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each In-The-Money Vested Company Option that is then outstanding (but not to the extent it has theretofore been exercised) shall be converted, in settlement and cancellation thereof, into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (A) such In-The-Money Vested Company Option’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Common Stock Closing Consideration, less the aggregate exercise price of such In-The-Money Vested Company Option, plus (B) such In-The-Money Vested Company Option’s Pro Rata Share of the portion of all Future Payments that become payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case subject to withholding as provided in Section 2.8. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option outstanding that is not an In-The-Money Vested Company Option shall be terminated and cancelled without payment therefor and shall have no further force or effect.
(ii)    At the Effective Time, each Other Company Vested Equity Award that is then outstanding shall automatically be converted into the right to receive (A) such Other Company Vested Equity Award’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Common Stock Closing Consideration, less (if applicable) the aggregate exercise price or measurement price of such Other Company Vested Equity Award, plus (B) such Other Company Vested Equity Award’s Pro Rata Share of the portion of all Future Payments that become payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case subject to withholding as provided in Section 2.8. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Other Company Equity Award then outstanding that is not an Other Company Vested Equity Award shall be terminated and cancelled without payment therefor and shall have no further force or effect.
(iii)    Upon the Effective Time, each Company Equity Award shall no longer represent the right to acquire any shares of Company Stock or other Equity Interests, but

-13-



shall entitle the holder thereof to receive only the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 2.5(a).
(iv)    Promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall provide to each holder of Company Equity Awards a letter describing the treatment of such Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Section 2.5(a).
(v)    The Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time to each holder of In-The-Money Vested Company Options and Other Company Vested Equity Awards the portion of the Aggregate Common Stock Closing Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to this Section 2.5(a), subject to any applicable withholding as provided in Section 2.8, in accordance with the Closing Date Allocation Schedule. The Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of In-The-Money Vested Company Options and Other Company Vested Equity Awards any amounts payable with respect to each Future Payment (subject to any applicable withholding as provided in Section 2.8) in accordance with the Closing Date Allocation Schedule.
(vi)    The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions necessary or desirable in connection with the treatment of Company Equity Awards contemplated by this Section 2.5(a).
(b)    Company Warrants.
(i)    At the Effective Time, each In-The-Money Company Warrant that is then outstanding and not exercised or terminated shall automatically be converted into the right to receive such In-The-Money Company Warrant’s Warrant Amount.
(ii)    At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is not an In-The-Money Company Warrant that is then outstanding shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no payment or consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that the Company Warrant set forth on Schedule 2.5(b) (the “Designated Warrant”), shall not be terminated at Closing, but from and after the Closing shall only entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon exercise of such Company Warrant in accordance with (and subject to its terms), an amount equal to the amount of cash that such holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(vi) if such Company Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the Closing, which amount shall be less than the exercise price payable upon the exercise of the Designated Warrant.
(iii)    The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions necessary or desirable in connection with the treatment of Company Warrants contemplated by this Section 2.5(b), including obtaining a Warrant Surrender Agreement (it being understood that no Warrant Surrender Agreement shall be required with respect to the Designated Warrant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall request an executed Warrant Surrender Agreement from the holder of the Designated Warrant with respect to such Designated Warrant.

-14-



2.6    Adjustment Before and After the Closing. The Estimated Closing Adjustment and the Final Closing Adjustment shall be determined as set forth below in this Section 2.6:
(a)    Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement”) setting forth the Estimated Closing Adjustment, including a good faith estimate of (i) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) each of the Closing Adjustment Items, each as of 11:59 p.m., Pacific time, on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, together with all relevant backup materials, in reasonable detail. The Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement and such consolidated balance sheet shall reflect the Company’s good faith estimate and be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Schedule 2.6(a) attached hereto reflects the Company’s good faith estimates as of the date of this Agreement of the Closing Adjustment Items to be included in the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement. From the delivery of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement until such time as the calculation of the Estimated Closing Adjustment has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6(a), the Buyer and its accountants shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, be permitted to discuss with the Company and its accountants the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement and shall be provided complete and accurate copies of, and have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice at reasonable times during normal business hours, to the work papers and supporting records of the Company and its accountants so as to allow the Buyer and its accountants to verify the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement. If the Buyer objects to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, the Company and the Buyer will work together in good faith to resolve the issues in dispute. If all disputed issues are resolved, the amounts as agreed upon by the Buyer and the Company shall be used to determine the Estimated Closing Adjustment. If the Buyer and the Company are unable to resolve all such disputed issues within five (5) Business Days following the Buyer’s receipt of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, the Estimated Closing Adjustment shall be as determined by the Company and the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be increased by the amount that the Buyer’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Adjustment exceeds the Company’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Adjustment.
(b)    Not later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company Equityholder Representative the Closing Adjustment Statement, including a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of as of 11:59 p.m., Pacific time, on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Closing Adjustment Statement and such consolidated balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Closing Adjustment Statement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the amount, if any, by which the total of the Closing Adjustment Items is greater than, or less than, the Estimated Closing Adjustment. The Closing Adjustment Statement, as proposed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.6 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement,” the Closing Adjustment Items reflected thereon shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.6 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Items” and each shall be final and binding on all parties to this Agreement and on all Company Equityholders, in each case unless the Company Equityholder

-15-



Representative timely delivers to the Buyer an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 2.6(c).
(c)    In the event that the Company Equityholder Representative disputes the Closing Adjustment Statement or the amount of the Closing Adjustment Items, the Company Equityholder Representative shall notify the Buyer in writing (the “Objection Notice”) of the amount, nature and basis of such dispute, within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery to the Company Equityholder Representative of the Closing Adjustment Statement pursuant to Section 2.6(b). Any such Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Company Equityholder Representative disagrees, and the Company Equityholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Adjustment Statement and the amount of the Closing Adjustment Items delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(b). In the event of such a dispute, the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative shall first negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the amount of the Closing Adjustment Items, which amount shall not be more than the Buyer’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(b) nor less than the Company Equityholder Representative’s calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6(c). If the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative reach a final resolution on the Closing Adjustment Statement within thirty (30) calendar days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Objection Notice (or within any additional period as mutually agreed to between the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative), then the Closing Adjustment Statement agreed upon by the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.6 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement,” the Closing Adjustment Items reflected thereon shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.6 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Items” and each shall be final and binding on all parties to this Agreement and on all Company Equityholders.
(d)    If the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Objection Notice, then any remaining items in dispute shall be submitted to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm selected in writing by the Company Equityholder Representative and the Buyer or, if the Company Equityholder Representative and the Buyer fail or refuse to select a firm within ten (10) calendar days after written request therefor by the Company Equityholder Representative or the Buyer, such an independent nationally recognized accounting firm shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the Boston, Massachusetts office of the American Arbitration Association (such firm selected pursuant to this sentence, the “Neutral Accountant”). All determinations and calculations pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) shall consider only those Closing Adjustment Items that are set forth in the Objection Notice and remain in dispute, shall be a value that is not more than the Buyer’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(b) nor less than the Company Equityholder Representative’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(c), shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative as promptly as practicable. Absent fraud or manifest error, the Closing Adjustment Statement as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.6 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement,” the Closing Adjustment Items reflected thereon as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be

-16-



deemed for purposes of this Section 2.6 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Items” and each shall be final and binding on all parties to this Agreement and on all Company Equityholders. In determining the Closing Adjustment Statement and the Closing Adjustment Items, the Neutral Accountant shall act as an expert and not as arbitrator and the Neutral Accountant’s authority is limited to resolving disputed issues of fact (and not law). A judgment on the determination made by the Neutral Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.6 may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereover.
(e)    The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to Section 2.6(d) shall be borne by the Company Equityholder Representative (for the account of the Company Equityholders, severally and not jointly, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Equityholder Representative Expense Amount), on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, in proportion to the amounts by which the proposals of the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative differed from the Neutral Accountant’s final determination.
(f)    
(i)    For purposes of this Agreement, the “Final Closing Adjustment” shall be equal to (i) the amount of the sum of the Final Closing Adjustment Items, minus (ii) the Estimated Closing Adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Final Closing Adjustment may be a positive or negative number. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Final Implied Base Purchase Price” shall be an amount equal to (A) the Base Purchase Price minus (B) the sum of the Final Closing Adjustment Items (which for the avoidance of doubt may be a positive or negative number, it being understood that a double negative number will constitute an increase to this definition of Final Implied Base Purchase Price).
(ii)    If the Final Closing Adjustment is greater than zero (0), then the Buyer and Company Equityholder Representative shall promptly (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after the date of determination of the Final Closing Adjustment, execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to (A) release to Buyer from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund an amount of cash equal to the Final Closing Adjustment Amount and, if the amount of the Final Closing Adjustment exceeds the amount then held in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund immediately prior to such release, an instruction to the Escrow Agent to release such excess from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to Buyer and (B) release the amount of cash then remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund (after the payment to the Buyer of the Final Closing Adjustment pursuant to clause (A)) as follows: (1) the Pro Rata Share of the amounts remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund represented by the shares of Company Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Paying Agent (and the Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to, and direct the Paying Agent to promptly, pay such amounts to such holders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, subject to compliance with Section 2.2) and (2) the Pro Rata Share of the amounts remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund represented by the In-The-Money Vested Company Options and Other Company Vested Equity Awards shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Surviving

-17-



Corporation (and the Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly pay such amounts to such holders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, subject to any applicable withholding as provided in Section 2.8).
(iii)    If the Final Closing Adjustment is less than or equal zero (0) (the absolute value of the amount by which the Final Closing Adjustment is less than zero (0), if any, the “Post-Closing Positive Payment Amount”), then promptly (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after the date of determination of the Final Closing Adjustment: (1) if the Final Implied Base Price exceeds the Base Purchase Price, then a portion equal to 5% of the Post-Closing Additional Payment shall be deposited by Buyer with the Escrow Agent to be held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (2) the remainder of the Post-Closing Positive Amount, after reduction pursuant to clause (1) (the “Post-Closing Equityholder Payment”), shall be paid by Buyer as follows: (A) the Pro Rata Share of the Post-Closing Equityholder Payment that is represented by the shares of Company Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) shall be paid by the Buyer to the Paying Agent (and the Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to, and direct the Paying Agent to promptly, pay such amounts to such holders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, subject to compliance with Section 2.2) and (B) the Pro Rata Share of the Post-Closing Equityholder Payment that is represented by the In-The-Money Vested Company Options and Other Vested Company Equity Awards shall be paid by the Buyer to the Surviving Corporation (and the Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly pay such amounts to such holders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, subject to any applicable withholding as provided in Section 2.8) and (3) the Buyer and Company Equityholder Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the amount of cash then remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund as follows: (A) the Pro Rata Share of the amounts remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund represented by the shares of Company Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Paying Agent (and the Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to, and direct the Paying Agent to promptly, pay such amounts to such holders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, subject to compliance with Section 2.2) and (B) the Pro Rata Share of the amounts remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund represented by the In-The-Money Vested Company Options and Other Company Vested Equity Awards shall be paid be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Surviving Corporation (and the Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly pay such amounts to such holders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, subject to any applicable withholding as provided in Section 2.8).
(g)    The percentage of the Final Closing Adjustment, if any, to be distributed to each Company Equityholder shall be set forth opposite such Company Equityholder’s name on the Closing Date Allocation Schedule.
(h)    From the delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement until such time as the calculation of the Final Closing Adjustment Items have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Buyer shall (at the Company Equityholders’ expense (including from the Company Equityholder Representative Expense Amount) with respect to any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Buyer in connection therewith), upon reasonable notice and

The Company shall deliver to Buyer, prior to the Closing Date, evidence that the Company’s board of directors has validly adopted resolutions to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan and any other Employee Benefit Plan that the Buyer timely requests be terminated pursuant to this Section 6.9, as applicable (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to prior review and approval of Buyer), effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

Subject to the Tax Elections set forth in Section 6.13(e), to the extent such Tax Returns relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with past practice and policies of the Company (except as required under applicable Law) and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall cause the Company to utilize any available Tax Assets accrued in any Pre-Closing Tax Period against taxable income reported on any such Tax Returns. With respect to any such Tax Return that could reasonably be expected to give any Buyer Indemnified Party the right to be indemnified pursuant to Article VIII hereto, Buyer shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return to the Company Equityholder Representative for its review and comment not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is due to be filed (taking into account any applicable extensions), in the case of income Tax Returns, and in such period of time prior to filing as Buyer shall reasonably determine to be practicable in the case of other Tax Returns, and shall make any changes reasonably requested by the Company Equityholder Representative. Each of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall provide to the Company Equityholder Representative prompt access to all information reasonably requested by the Company Equityholder Representative in connection with the review of any Tax Return pursuant to this Section 6.13(a)(ii).

For purposes of allocating Taxes attributable to any partnerships or specified foreign corporations (within the meaning of Section 965(e) of the Code) in which the Company or any Subsidiary holds (with due regard to Section 958 of the Code) an equity interest as of the Closing Date, the taxable year of any such partnerships or specified foreign corporations shall be treated as ending on the Closing Date (without regard to any contrary provision of Law).

(c)    Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, sales, use, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration, documentary, filing and other non-income Taxes and administrative fees (including notary fees) arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid 50% by the Company Equityholders and 50% by the Buyer. The Company Equityholders and Buyer will cooperate (and cause their Affiliates and representatives to cooperate) to timely prepare any Tax Return or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes. The party required by applicable Law to file any Tax Return related to Transfer Taxes shall prepare and file such Tax Return and the non-filing party shall pay its portion of Transfer Taxes shown due on such Tax Return to the filing party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the due date for payment to the relevant authority.

The Buyer and the Company Equityholders and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in the preparation of all Tax Returns and the conduct of all Tax audits or other administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the determination of any Tax for any taxable periods for which one Party could reasonably require the assistance of the other Party in obtaining any necessary information.

(iii)    In the event that Buyer breaches Section 6.13(f)(ii), then indemnifiable Taxes pursuant to Section 8.1(c) and Tax liabilities included in the calculation of Indebtedness will be calculated as if such breach had not occurred.

The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third-Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto.

If the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative settle such dispute pursuant to a written resolution executed by each of the Buyer and the Company Equityholder Representative, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Buyer is entitled to a distribution with respect to a Dispute such determination has become final and non-appealable, then the Company Equityholder Representative and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following such settlement or final determination a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Buyer (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of such settlement or final determination of the Dispute).
(e)    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.3, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that any Buyer Indemnified Party is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which a Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, and the Buyer reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) the Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Company Equityholder Representative or the Company Equityholders, to the extent such notice or consent is not practicable under the circumstances, (ii) subject to the limitations in this Article VIII, the Buyer may subsequently make a claim against the R&W Policy or the Indemnity Escrow Fund for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII, and (iii) subject to the limitations in this Article VIII (but not directly against the Company Equityholders), the Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification from the R&W Policy and the Indemnity Escrow Fund, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (subject to the right of the Company Equityholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Equityholders, to dispute the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification, and the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VIII, it being understood that the mere payment of such amount by Buyer shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII).

Except with respect to the R&W Policy as provided under Section 8.5(b), neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to pursue any claims under any insurance policies. If the Buyer receives an indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement and later receives insurance proceeds in respect of the related Damages, the Buyer shall promptly pay to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Company Equityholders an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the actual amount of such insurance proceeds (net of any costs of collection and increase in insurance premiums), if any, or (ii) the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid by the Equity Holders with respect to such Damages (excluding any amount paid by the Company Equityholders that is allocable to the retention under the R&W Policy).

(g)    The Parties acknowledge that there shall not be any duplicative recovery to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Parties have previously recovered the same measure of Damages arising from the same facts and circumstances.
(h)    The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VIII shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of any Buyer Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Buyer Indemnified Party, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder, or (ii) any waiver by the Buyer of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining (i) whether there has been a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth in Article III or the Company Certificate and (ii) the amount of Damages for which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, each such representation or warranty (other than the representations and warranties set forth in clause (a) of Section 3.6 and in Section 3.28) shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications or limitations as to materiality (including any qualifications or limitations made by reference to a Company Material Adverse Effect).

Progress Announces Acquisition of Chef

Acquisition aligns with strategy for accretive acquisition and extends product offerings in DevOps and DevSecOps with market-leading infrastructure automation
 
BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 8, 2020 -- Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS), the leading provider of application development and digital experience technologies, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Chef, a global leader in DevOps and DevSecOps, providing complete infrastructure automation to build, deploy, manage and secure applications in modern multi-cloud and hybrid environments, as well as on-premises.    
 
“Chef is a market leader with best-in-class products, a vibrant developer community, an impressive blue-chip customer base and highly skilled and engaged employees,” said Yogesh Gupta, CEO, Progress. “Chef has built a successful business, product portfolio and go-to-market strategy and we will expand and accelerate that by bringing our resources to bear, building on the momentum Chef has established to date.”
 
Founded in 2008, and with over $70 million in annual recurring revenue, Chef is a leader in continuous automation, an innovator in application automation and a pioneer of the DevSecOps movement. Its mission is to help the most enduring and transformative companies use technology to become fast, efficient and innovative software-driven organizations. Chef products include: Chef Enterprise Automation Stack, Chef Infra, Chef InSpec, Chef Habitat, Chef Compliance and Chef Desktop.

Progress is a trusted provider of some of the best products to develop, deploy and manage high-impact business applications and Chef will enhance that position by providing industry-leading compliance and application automation products for multi-cloud and on-prem infrastructure. The acquisition will bolster Progress' core offerings, enabling customers to respond faster to business demands and improve efficiency. The acquisition also aligns with Progress' growth strategy through accretive acquisitions and will add both scale and cash flow.

Progress will acquire Chef for $220 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. Progress will fund the transaction with existing cash on hand and funds secured under its existing credit facility. The transaction is expected to be accretive beginning in Q1 FY2021 to both non-GAAP earnings per share and cash flow.
  
“This acquisition perfectly aligns with our growth strategy and meets the requirements that we’ve previously laid out: a strong recurring revenue model, technology that complements our business, a loyal customer base and the ability to leverage our operating model and infrastructure to run the business more efficiently,” continued Gupta. “We’re thrilled to add Chef to our product portfolio and are confident that this acquisition will provide benefit to both organizations, as well as our customers, partners, investors and the Chef community.”



 
“Chef and Progress share a vision for the future of DevSecOps and Progress will provide the scale to further drive Chef’s platform forward and deliver additional value to our customers,” said Barry Crist, CEO, Chef. “At the same time, Chef fills a need in the Progress portfolio in DevSecOps, infrastructure, application, and compliance automation that is highly complementary to its existing products. For Chef, this acquisition is our next chapter, and Progress will help enhance our growth potential, support our Open Source vision, and provide broader opportunities for our customers, partners, employees and community.”

The acquisition is expected to close in October 2020, subject to obtaining regulatory consents and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
