New Relic, Inc. (NYSE:NEWR) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Agreement.

If certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default occur, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding Notes shall automatically become due and payable. If an event of default other than certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee by notice to the Company or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to Company and the trustee, may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture will, for the first 360 days after such event of default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes.

The Indenture provides that the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into another person, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its consolidated properties and assets to, another person, unless: (i)the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if not the Company) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such corporation (if not the Company) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and (ii)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture.

A copy of the Indenture (including the form of the Notes) is attached as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference (and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document).

The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $487.4million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used approximately $63.2million of the net proceeds to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for working capital or other general corporate purposes. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies. However, the Company has not entered into any agreements for any specific acquisitions at this time.

Capped Call Transactions

On May15 and May16, 2018, in connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with Goldman Sachs& Co. LLC and Nomura Global Financial Products Inc. to capped call confirmations in substantially the form filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form8-Kand which is incorporated herein by reference. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Common Stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments New Relic is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $173.82 per share (which represents a premium of 50% over the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on May15, 2018, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions).

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company offered and sold the Notes to the initial purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and for resale by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the initial purchasers in the purchase agreement dated May15, 2018 by and among the Company and the initial purchasers. The shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

To the extent that any shares of the Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Notes, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section3(a)(9) thereof, because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with conversion of the Notes, and any resulting issuance of shares of the Common Stock.
