Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 30, 2021, Five9, Inc. (the “Company” or “Five9”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated July 16, 2021, by and among Five9, Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (“Zoom”) and Summer Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Five9 (the “Merger”), with Five9 surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Zoom.
At the Special Meeting, Company stockholders considered three proposals, including a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Merger Proposal”). As set forth in Item 5.07 below, which is incorporated herein by reference, the requisite Company stockholders did not approve the Merger Proposal. As a result, immediately following the Special Meeting, on September 30, 2021, the Company and Zoom mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective immediately, pursuant to Section 8.1(a) thereof. Except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement, none of Five9, Zoom or Merger Sub shall have any further liability thereunder.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Five9 on July 19, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As of August 25, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 67,729,879 shares of Five9 common stock outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. Present at the Special Meeting virtually or by proxy were holders of 52,440,802 shares of the Company’s common stock, together representing a total of 52,440,802 votes, or a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of Five9 issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, and constituting a quorum under the Company’s bylaws. Each proposal is described in detail in Five9’s definitive proxy statement, dated August 26, 2021, which was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on August 26, 2021, and first mailed to Five9’s stockholders on or about August 26, 2021. The final results regarding each proposal are set forth below.
