On May 18, 2018, Cision Ltd. (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2017 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Amendment amends the Warrant Agreement to provide the Company with the right to require the holders of the Company’s public and private warrants (the “Warrants”) to exchange their Warrants for ordinary shares of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) at an exchange ratio of 0.234 Ordinary Shares for each Warrant. The Company has the right to require the exchange of not less than all of the Warrants at any time while such Warrants are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the registered holders of the outstanding Warrants at least fifteen days prior to the date of exchange fixed by the Company.

The Company intends to exchange all remaining untendered Warrants for Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on June 4, 2018.

The foregoing description of the Warrant Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this item 3.03.

As previously disclosed in the definitive consent solicitation materials filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2018, in connection with the Company’s offer to each holder of 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 Company solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Warrants to approve the Warrant Amendment.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 15, 2018. A total of 23,462,423 Warrants, or approximately 95.7650% of the 24,500,000 outstanding Warrants, were properly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, and were therefore deemed to have consented to the Warrant Amendment. Because consents were received from holders of more than a majority of the Company’s Warrants, the Warrant Amendment was approved. The Company intends to exchange all remaining untendered Warrants for Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on June 4, 2018.

The Company issued 6,100,209 Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants tendered in the Offer, resulting in a total of 130,470,775 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of May 18, 2018.

On May 18, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offer and the Consent Solicitation. The Company also announced that it intends to exchange all remaining untendered Warrants for Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on June 4, 2018.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
