Guidance, outlook, risks, contingencies, and unusual items
- Closing is subject to stockholder approval, expiration or termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period, accuracy of representations and warranties, covenant compliance, absence of a material adverse effect, and other customary conditions.
- BILL’s obligations also depend on execution of joinder agreements by holders of at least 90% of DivvyPay’s outstanding shares, retention of 90% of DivvyPay employees, effectiveness of specified key-employee arrangements, and delivery of audited 2020 financial statements for DivvyPay.
- The agreement may generally be terminated if closing has not occurred by September 3, 2021, subject to a possible extension to March 3, 2022 by mutual agreement under specified conditions.
- DivvyPay stockholders agreed to indemnify BILL for specified breaches, inaccuracies, litigation, pre-closing taxes, fraud, and other matters. General indemnification obligations are generally capped at the escrow amount, except for fraud and certain other specified matters.
- Shares issued in the transaction are intended to be issued under private-placement exemptions. BILL agreed to file a resale registration statement, and certain shares will be subject to six-month lockup restrictions.
- Identified risks include failure to obtain approvals, failure to satisfy closing conditions, regulatory delays or conditions, transaction costs, employee and customer retention issues, litigation, integration challenges, failure to achieve anticipated synergies, competitive pressures, and termination of the merger agreement.
