Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
Incremental Amendment to Credit Agreement
On December 14, 2017, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cision Ltd.
(the “Company”), Canyon Valor Companies, Inc. (the “Borrower”), entered into an incremental facility amendment
(the “Incremental Amendment”) to the credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent
and collateral agent, and a syndicate of commercial lenders from time to time party thereto dated as of June 16, 2016, as amended
(the “Credit Facility”). The Incremental Amendment provides for an incremental $75 million dollar-denominated term
loan facility (the “Incremental Facility”). The proceeds from the Incremental Facility will be used for general corporate
purposes, working capital purposes and investments, which may include one or more strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition
of CEDROM (as defined below). The Company is currently in active negotiations with respect to an additional acquisition. The Company
cannot provide any assurances that it will be successful in consummating strategic acquisitions, including the referenced acquisition.
Interest is charged on the Incremental Facility, at the Borrower's
option, at a rate based on (1) the adjusted LIBOR (a rate equal to the London interbank offered rate adjusted for statutory reserves)
or (2) the alternate base rate (a rate that is highest of the (i) Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch's prime lending rate, (ii)
the overnight federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) the one month-adjusted LIBOR plus 1%), in each case, plus an applicable
margin. The margin applicable to loans under the Incremental Facility bearing interest at the alternate base rate is 3.25%; the
margin applicable to loans under the Incremental Facility bearing interest at the adjusted LIBOR is 4.25%, provided that each such
rate is reduced by 25 basis points if the first lien net leverage ratio of Canyon Companies S.à r.l. and its restricted
subsidiaries under the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 4.00:1.00 at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter.
The Borrower is obligated to make quarterly principal payments
under the Incremental Facility of $2.588 million (which amount may be reduced by the application of voluntary and mandatory prepayments
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility), with the remaining balance due June 16, 2023. The Borrower may also be required
to make certain mandatory prepayments of the Incremental Facility out of excess cash flow and upon the receipt of proceeds of asset
sales and certain insurance proceeds (in each case, subject to certain minimum dollar thresholds and rights to reinvest the proceeds
as set forth in the Credit Facility).
The obligations under the Incremental
Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Canyon Companies S.à r.l. and each of its subsidiaries organized
in the United States (or any state thereof), the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Ireland, subject to certain exceptions.
The foregoing description of the Incremental Amendment does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement. A copy of the Incremental
Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Intermediate U.S. Holdings
”), the Borrower, the lending institutions from time to time party thereto,
and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (capitalized terms used but not defined herein
having the meaning provided in the Credit Agreement); and
WHEREAS
,
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may establish an Incremental Term Increase
by, among other things, entering into one or more Incremental Facility Amendments with Additional Term Lenders or existing Lenders;
WHEREAS
,
the Incremental Term Loan Lender and the Borrower wish to establish an Incremental Term Increase on the terms set forth in this
Agreement utilizing available capacity pursuant to clauses (I) and (II) of the definition of Incremental Cap;
NOW,
THEREFORE
, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
The Incremental Term
Loan Lender hereby commits to provide the Incremental Term Increase as set forth on
Schedule A
annexed hereto, on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth below.
The Incremental Term
Loan Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exhibits
thereto, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in
Section 5.01
of the Credit Agreement
and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any other Lender or Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue
to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it
will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be
performed by it as a Lender. This Agreement shall constitute (i) the notice required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(a) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) an “Incremental Facility Amendment” for purposes
of Section 2.20(d) of the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Incremental Term Increase (including without limitation
the Applicable Rate, the principal payment terms applicable thereto and the maturity date thereof) shall be the same as the terms
of the Initial Dollar Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to this Agreement, and such Incremental Term Increase
shall be deemed to be “Initial Term Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each other
Loan Document and shall constitute one tranche with, and be the same Class as, the Initial Dollar Term Loans made on the 2017 Amendment
Effective Date. Following the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) and the funding of the Incremental
Term Increase, each reference to “Initial Term Loans” and “Initial Dollar Term Loans” shall include the
Incremental Term Increase and each reference to “Lender” shall include the Incremental Term Loan Lender hereunder,
in each case, unless the context shall require otherwise. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, with the consent of the
Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary
to ensure that all amounts of such Incremental Term Increase, when originally made, are Initial Dollar Term Loans for all purposes
under the Loan Documents and are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Initial Dollar Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This
may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Term Increase
to each outstanding Eurodollar Loan that is a Term Loan of the same Class on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof
such Incremental Term Increase may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Term Loans included in the Borrowing of
which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of the Credit Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest
Period). The Incremental Term Increase shall not accrue interest for any period prior to the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment Effective
Date and the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest on the Incremental Term Increase pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Credit
Agreement for any period prior to the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment Effective Date.
The Incremental Term
Loan Lender hereby agrees to make the Incremental Term Increase on the following terms and conditions:
|
1.
|
Applicable Rate
. For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans or for Eurodollar
Loans, as applicable, for the Incremental Term Increase shall mean, as of any date of determination, the applicable percentage
per annum with respect to any Initial Dollar Term Loan as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” in the Credit
Agreement. All Interest Periods applicable to Initial Dollar Term Loans shall continue in effect after the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment
Effective Date. The Incremental Term Increase shall be initially incurred pursuant to a single Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, with
such Borrowing to be subject to (x) Interest Periods which commence on the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment Effective Date and end
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Initial Dollar Term Loans and (y) the LIBO Rate applicable to the Initial
Dollar Term Loans. From and after the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment Effective Date to the first Interest Payment Date to occur after
the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall make to the Administrative Agent on such first Interest Payment
Date (and the Administrative Agent shall distribute to the applicable Lenders in accordance with the Credit Agreement) all payments
in respect of interest on the Incremental Term Increase to the Term Lenders for amounts which have accrued on the Incremental Term
Increase from the 2017-2 Incremental Amendment Effective Date to but excluding such Interest Payment Date.
|
|
2.
|
Amortization Payments
. Subject to the adjustments pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 2.10
of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall repay Initial Dollar Term Loans (including the Incremental Term Increase) on the last
day of each March, June, September and December in the principal amount of Terms Loans as follows;

that if any
such date is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next preceding Business Day:

Exhibit 99.1
Cision Enters Into $75 Million
Incremental Facility Amendment to Its Existing Credit Facility
NEWS
PROVIDED BY
Cision Ltd.
Dec 14, 2017, 09:15 ET
CHICAGO, Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cision
Ltd. ("Cision" or the "Company") (NYSE: CISN), a leading global provider of software and services to public
relations and marketing communications professionals, announced today that on December 14, 2017 its wholly owned subsidiary,
Canyon Valor Companies, Inc. (the "Borrower") has entered into an incremental facility amendment (the "Incremental
Amendment") to the credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral
agent, and a syndicate of commercial lenders from time to time party thereto entered into on June 16, 2016, as amended (the
"Credit Facility"). The Incremental Amendment provides for an incremental $75 million dollar-denominated term loan
facility (the "Incremental Facility"). The proceeds from the Incremental Facility will be used for general corporate
purposes, working capital purposes and investments, which may include one or more strategic acquisitions. The Company is currently
in active negotiations with respect to two acquisitions. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will be successful
in consummating these strategic acquisitions.
Interest is charged on the Incremental Facility, at the Borrower's
option, at a rate based on (1) the adjusted LIBOR (a rate equal to the London interbank offered rate adjusted for statutory
reserves) or (2) the alternate base rate (a rate that is highest of the (i) Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch's prime
lending rate, (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) the one month-adjusted LIBOR plus 1%), in each
case, plus an applicable margin. The margin applicable to loans under the Incremental Facility bearing interest at the alternate
base rate is 3.25%; the margin applicable to loans under the Incremental Facility bearing interest at the adjusted LIBOR is 4.25%,
provided that each such rate is reduced by 25 basis points if the first lien net leverage ratio of Canyon Companies S.à
r.l. and its restricted subsidiaries under the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 4.00:1.00 at the end of the most recent
fiscal quarter.
The Borrower is obligated to make quarterly principal payments
under the Incremental Facility of $2.588 million(which amount may be reduced by the application of voluntary and mandatory
prepayments pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility), with the remaining balance due June 16, 2023. The Borrower may
also be required to make certain mandatory prepayments of the Incremental Facility out of excess cash flow and upon the receipt
of proceeds of asset sales and certain insurance proceeds (in each case, subject to certain minimum dollar thresholds and rights
to reinvest the proceeds as set forth in the Credit Facility).
The obligations under the Incremental Facility are secured by
substantially all of the assets of Canyon Companies S.à r.l. and each of its subsidiaries organized in the United States (or
any state thereof), the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Ireland, subject to certain exceptions.
