Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 8, 2019, Elastic N.V., a Dutch public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) (“Elastic” or the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Merger”) of Endgame, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Endgame”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of June 5, 2019, (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Elastic, Avengers Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Elastic (“Merger Sub”), Endgame, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the securityholders of Endgame (the “Securityholder Representative”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Elastic acquired Endgame for a total purchase price of approximately $234 million, subject to customary adjustments. Elastic paid the purchase price through (i) the issuance of 2,218,694 ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share, of Elastic (the “Elastic Ordinary Shares”), in respect of Endgame’s outstanding capital stock, warrants, convertible notes, and certain retention awards, (ii) the cash repayment of Endgame’s outstanding indebtedness of approximately $20.4 million, (iii) the assumption of Endgame’s outstanding options, (iv) a $350,000 cash deposit to fund an expense fund for the fees and expenses of the Securityholder Representative, and (v) the cash payment of Endgame’s transaction expenses of approximately $5.9 million. Each share of Elastic Ordinary Shares issued in the Merger was valued at $89.3836 (an amount equal to equal to the volume weighted average price per share rounded to four decimal places (with amounts 0.00005 and above rounded up) of the Elastic Ordinary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending with the complete trading day ending five (5) trading days prior to the date upon which the Merger is consummated). No fractional shares of Elastic Ordinary Shares will be issued in the Merger, and holders of Endgame did not receive any consideration in lieu of any such fractional shares. Elastic Ordinary Shares that will be issued in the Merger are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

At the Effective Time, Endgame options were converted into corresponding equity awards in respect of Elastic Ordinary Shares based on the Stock Award Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement), with the awards retaining the same vesting and other terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to consummation of the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
