Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 23, 2015, Prosper Marketplace, Inc. (“PMI”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with BillGuard, Inc. (“BillGuard”), a Delaware corporation; Beach Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of PMI; and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Representative. Pursuant to the Agreement, PMI will acquire all of the outstanding shares of BillGuard and will merge BillGuard with and into Merger Sub, with BillGuard surviving the merger.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the BillGuard stockholders will receive an aggregate of $25 million in cash at the closing of the merger, subject to certain deductions for debt and expenses, and if certain conditions of an earn-out are met within a 12-month period of the closing of the merger an additional $5 million, subject to certain indemnification obligations of the BillGuard stockholders.

 

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of PMI and BillGuard, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of BillGuard’s business during the interim period between the execution of the Agreement and the consummation of the merger, (2) BillGuard’s obligations to obtain the BillGuards stockholders’ approval of the Agreement and the merger, and (3) BillGuard’s non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative business combination transactions.

 

The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (1) approval of the Agreement by BillGuard’s stockholders, (2) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the merger, (3) execution of employment agreements by certain employees of BillGuard, and (4) written consents to the merger from certain third parties. The Agreement contains certain termination rights for both PMI and BillGuard.

 

The Agreement also contains customary indemnification provisions whereby BillGuard and the BillGuard stockholders will indemnify PMI and affiliated parties for certain losses arising out of any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties, or breaches of the covenants of BillGuard under the Agreement and certain other matters. The $5 million of consideration that is subject to an earn-out, will, if earned, secure in part the indemnification obligations of the BillGuard stockholders under the Agreement.
