Synchronoss Technologies,Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR) Files An 8-K Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.02. Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Intralinks Transaction, Synchronoss utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Intralinks Transaction to repay all outstanding obligations under its previously existing senior secured credit agreement, dated as of January19, 2017, among, inter alia, Synchronoss, the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and a letter of credit issuer, as amended from time to time (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). In connection therewith, Synchronoss delivered all notices and took all other actions to facilitate and cause the termination of the Prior Credit Agreement, the repayment in full of all obligations then outstanding thereunder and the release of any security interests in connection therewith, effective as of November14, 2017. The aggregate payoff amount was approximately $898 million and included all accrued interest, fees and prepayment penalties associated therewith.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

to the Share Purchase Agreement, on November14, 2017, Synchronoss consummated the sale of Intralinks. At the closing of the Intralinks Transaction,Impala acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Intralinks for approximately $991 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments for changes in cash, debt and working capital. If, in the future,Impala receives net cash proceeds in excess of $440 million from any sale of equity or assets of Intralinks, or a dividend or distribution in respect of the shares of Intralinks, then Impala is required to pay Synchronoss up to an additional $25 million in cash or publicly traded securities. Immediately following the consummation of the Intralinks Transaction, Synchronoss paid to Impala $5 million as partial reimbursement of the out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Impala, Siris and their respective affiliates in connection with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Intralinks Transaction.

The total amount of funds used to complete the Intralinks Transaction and related transactions and pay related fees and expenses was approximately $1 billion, which was funded through a combination of equity and debt financing obtained by Impala.

As of November14, 2017, investment funds affiliated with Siris owned 5,994,667 shares of Synchronoss’ common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), or approximately 12.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of such date.
