Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On April 14, 2023, ZeroFox Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, LGCS Acquisition Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), LGCS Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LGCS Holdco”), LGCS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LGCS Merger Sub”), Lookingglass Cyber Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LGCS”), and Glenn Rieger, solely in his capacity as stockholders’ representative.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) LGCS Merger Sub will be merged with and into LGCS, with LGCS surviving and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of LGCS Holdco and the former stockholders of LGCS will become stockholders of LGCS Holdco as a result of such LGCS restructuring merger, (ii) LGCS Holdco will cause LGCS to convert from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company with the name Lookingglass Cyber Solutions, LLC, and (iii) LGCS Holdco will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing” and the date of Closing, the “Closing Date”), the stockholders of LGCS Holdco shall become entitled to receive approximately 9.4 million shares of Company common stock (the “Closing Consideration”), subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, which Closing Consideration shall be issued in three (3) or four (4) installments on the six (6)-month, twelve (12)-month and eighteen (18)-month anniversaries of the Closing Date and potentially a further payment on July 31, 2025. The 9.4 million shares includes up to 2 million earnout shares which will be eanred if LGCS achieves certain contract thresholds within a specified period of time or if a certain contract is renewed with a specified contract value within a specified period of time. Upon Closing, the Company will pay $9.5 million of LGCS indebtedness and will issue a subordinated convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of approximately $3.3 million in satisfaction of certain additional LGCS indebtedness. The Convertible Note will have a maturity date of July 31, 2025, will be interest free the first 12 months, and bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum thereafter. Upon maturity of the Convertible Note, the Company shall be obligated to pay, and prior to maturity the Company may elect to prepay, the principal of and accrued interest on the Convertible Note by paying cash, by issuing shares of Company common stock, or by a combination of cash and shares. At any time beginning July 1, 2024, the Convertible Note shall become due if the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $5.00 over a twenty (20)-trading day period. Any payments on the Convertible Note with shares of Company common stock will be valued based on a volume-weighted average trading price over a five (5)-trading day period. Approximately 1.4 million shares of Company common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement) will be withheld for a period of twelve months and be subject to indemnity claims by the Company and an additional 500,000 shares will be withheld until July 31, 2025 and be subject to certain indemnity claims by the Company.

Upon Closing, the Company will amend its senior loan agreement with Stifel Bank to borrow an additional $7.5 million under its current credit facility and extend the term of the loan to July 2025.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of LGCS and LGCS Holdco, on the one hand, and the Company and Merger Sub, on the other hand, relating to their respective businesses, in each case generally subject to customary materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of LGCS and LGCS Holdco, including covenants relating to conducting their respective businesses in the ordinary course and to refrain from taking certain actions without the Company’s consent.
The completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary mutual conditions, including (i) the absence of any governmental order or law that makes consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibited, and (ii) LGCS and LGCS Holdco having received the requisite approvals from their stockholders. The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality qualifiers) and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights for each of the Company and LGCS, including, among others, if the consummation of the Merger does not occur on or before the date that is 45 days from the date of the Merger Agreement.
LGCS is a greater than 5% beneficial owner of Company common stock.
