Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Atlassian Corporation Plc (the “Company”) is convening a court meeting of shareholders (the “Court Meeting”) and a general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting” and together with the Court Meeting, the “Meetings”) to be held at 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) and 2:30 p.m. (Pacific Time), respectively, on August 22, 2022 in connection with the Company’s proposed change of corporate domicile to the United States (the “U.S. Domestication”), to be effected by way of a court-approved scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (the “Scheme”). The Meetings are being convened for shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, pass resolutions to, among other matters, approve the implementation of the Scheme, the associated reduction of capital of the Company and certain related amendments to the Company’s articles of association. A copy of the proxy statement, including the notices convening the Meetings, that will be sent to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the U.S. Domestication and the Scheme, the form of proxy card for the Court Meeting and the form of proxy card for the General Meeting are attached to this report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

As announced on February 9, 2022, the Company has undertaken an exploration of redomiciling its parent holding company from the United Kingdom to the United States, to be implemented by way of the Scheme. Pursuant to the Scheme, each existing Class A ordinary share in the capital of the Company and Class B ordinary share in the capital of the Company will be cancelled in exchange for one share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Atlassian Corporation (“New Atlassian”), a newly incorporated Delaware corporation, of the corresponding class. New Atlassian will be the new U.S. holding company of the Atlassian group upon the Scheme becoming effective. In addition to certain other closing conditions, the Scheme must be approved by the shareholders of the Company and sanctioned by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the “Court”). Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of New Atlassian that holders of Class A ordinary shares of the Company will receive in the Scheme are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Subject to receipt of the requisite shareholder approvals, the subsequent sanction of the Scheme by the Court and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, the Scheme is expected to become effective on September 30, 2022 (U.S. Time).

The information in this report on Form 6-K and the exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
