On August 2, 2017, Chegg, Inc. (“Chegg”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), to which Chegg agreed to issue and sell 10,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $13.50 per share (the “Offering”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Chegg granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, conditions to closing, market standoff provisions, termination provisions and indemnification obligations, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Chegg intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions of businesses, technologies or other assets.
