Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 12, 2019, Coupa Software Incorporated (Coupa or the Company) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
Agreement) by and among the Company, Epic Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), Exari Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Target), and Beacon Equity
Partners, LLC as stockholder representative (the Stockholder Representative), pursuant to which the Company will acquire the Target and the Target will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Transaction).
The aggregate purchase price for the Transaction is approximately $215 million in cash (which amount shall be subject to customary upward or downward
adjustments for the Targets working capital and other matters for up to 90 days following the date upon which the Transaction is consummated).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Target has made certain representations and warranties to the Company for which, subject to the terms of the Agreement, the
stockholders of the Target will be liable in the event of a breach and have agreed to indemnify the Company for certain matters. A representations and warranties insurance policy was purchased under which the Company may seek coverage for breaches
of Targets representations and warranties to supplement an indemnity escrow. The representations and warranties insurance policy is subject to certain customary exclusions and deductibles.
The Transaction is expected to close during the Companys fiscal second quarter and is subject to various customary conditions, including, among other
things, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
The
Agreement also contains certain termination rights, including, among other things, the right of either party to terminate the Agreement if the Transaction has not occurred by July 12, 2019.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
The Agreement governs the contractual rights between the parties in relation to the acquisition. We have included
the above summary of certain terms of the Agreement and attached the Agreement as an exhibit to this Form
8-K
to provide you with information regarding the terms of the Agreement. This summary and report are
not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company or the Target in our respective public reports filed with the SEC or other regulators. In particular, the Agreement and related summary are not intended to be, and should

the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable under the securities laws.
