Introduction
As previously disclosed on June 10, 2019 in the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “June Form 8-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Shutterfly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 10, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Photo Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Photo Holdings Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, on September 25, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of certain funds (the “Apollo Funds”) managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”).
| Item 2.01. | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On the Closing Date, Parent completed the acquisition of the Company through the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share (a “Share”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned, directly or indirectly, immediately prior to the Effective Time by Parent, Merger Sub, any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub or any person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding stock of Merger Sub, and (ii) Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case, which Shares shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion or payment of any property or consideration, and shall cease to exist (the “Excluded Shares”)) was converted into the right to receive $51.00 per Share in cash, without interest and subject to tax withholding (the “Merger Consideration”).
The aggregate consideration paid by Parent in the Merger to the Company’s stockholders was approximately $1.8 billion. The source of the funds for the consideration paid by Parent in the Merger was a combination of equity contributions from the Apollo Funds, as well as proceeds from debt financing.
The description of the Merger set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed by the Company as Exhibit 2.1 to the June Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company notified The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on the Closing Date that the certificate of merger relating to the Merger had been filed with the State of Delaware and that, at the Effective Time, each outstanding Share (other than Excluded Shares) was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Company requested that Nasdaq delist its Common Stock on September 25, 2019, and as a result, trading of the Common Stock on Nasdaq was suspended prior to the opening of Nasdaq on September 25, 2019. The Company also requested Nasdaq to file a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 with the SEC to effect the delisting of its Common Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
| Item 3.03. | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
The information set forth in the Introduction and under Item 2.01 and Item 3.01 above and Item 5.01 below of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
| Item 5.01. | Changes in Control of Company. |
The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.
As a result of the consummation of the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred. Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
| Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and effective as of the Effective Time, each of the Company’s directors other than Ryan O’Hara resigned as a member of the Company’s board of directors and a member of the committees of the Company’s board of directors. These resignations were not a result of any disagreement between the Company and the directors on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
At the Effective Time, in accordance with the Company’s bylaws and Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Parent, as the sole stockholder of the Company, reduced the size of the Board to three members and elected Jason Sebring and Michael Pope to the board of directors of the Company, effective immediately.
| Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws |
At the Effective Time, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as in effect immediately prior to the Merger, was amended and restated to be in substantially the form of the certificate of incorporation set forth as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”). In addition, at the Effective Time, the Company’s bylaws, as in effect immediately prior to the Merger, were amended and restated to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to change the name of Merger Sub thereunder to be the name of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). Copies of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the rights, powers, privileges and discretionary authority granted or conferred by the DGCL or other statutes or laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), without any action on the part of the stockholders, but the stockholders may make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws whether adopted by them or otherwise.
ARTICLE VII
Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so require.

No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Any director of the Corporation who is also a Related Person or who is pecuniary or otherwise interested in such contract or transaction may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board during which any such contract or transaction is authorized and may vote thereat to authorize any such contract or transaction, with like force and effect as if such person were not a Related Person or were not pecuniary or otherwise interested in such contract or transaction. Any director of the Corporation may vote upon any contract or any other transaction between the Corporation and any subsidiary or affiliated Entity without regard to the fact that such person is also a director, officer, manager, general partner or other fiduciary of such subsidiary or affiliated Entity.

Subject to any express agreement that may from time to time be in effect, (x) any director or officer of the Corporation who is also an officer, director, partner, employee, managing director or other affiliate of either Apollo Management IX, L.P., on behalf of its investment funds (“Apollo”), or any of its respective affiliates (collectively, the “Managers”) and (y) the Managers and their affiliates, may, and shall have no duty not to, in each case on behalf of the Managers or their affiliates (the persons and entities in clauses (x) and (y), each a “Covered Manager Person”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a member or manager in any limited liability company or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director or stockholder of any corporation, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Corporation, (ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Corporation or its affiliates, and (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the Corporation may make investments.

To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in such corporate opportunity and waives any claim against each Covered Manager Person and shall indemnify a Covered Manager Person against any claim that such Covered Manager Person is liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Manager Person (i) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any affiliate, (ii) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another person or (iii) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation.

Section 1. PROCEEDINGS OTHER THAN THOSE BROUGHT BY THE CORPORATION. The corporation shall indemnify to the maximum extent permitted by law any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY THE CORPORATION.

Section 3. INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES. To the extent that a director or officer of the corporation shall be successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article V, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 4. AUTHORIZATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article V. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. The corporation, acting through its Board of Directors or otherwise, shall cause such determination to be made if so requested by any person who is indemnifiable under this Article V.
Section 5. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article V.
Section 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF EXPENSES NOT EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
