Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 15, 2021, LGL Systems Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“LGL”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among LGL, LGL Systems Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of LGL (“Merger Sub”), and IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IronNet”).

 

About IronNet

 

IronNet merges industry-leading cybersecurity products with expert service to create a platform designed to deliver the most advanced, real-time cyber defense globally, protecting both private and public sectors. Bringing together some of the best minds in cybersecurity from industry, government and academia, IronNet was created to more effectively defend enterprises, sectors and nations against highly organized cyber adversaries and increasingly sophisticated attacks that traditional security tools are challenged to detect. IronNet’s Collective Defense platform, which features proprietary and patented technology, detects cyber anomalies and shares anonymized threat data in real time within a secure ecosystem. This provides all Collective Defense members with a previously unachievable level of visibility into potential incoming threats.

 

About LGL

 

LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger with a target business in the cybersecurity, C4ISR, data processing, and/or analytics sectors, with a broad range of applications across the aerospace, defense, and communication end markets.

 

The Merger Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into IronNet, with IronNet surviving the merger (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). As a result of the Transactions, IronNet will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LGL, with the stockholders of IronNet becoming stockholders of LGL.

 

Under the Merger Agreement, the equityholders of IronNet will receive as merger consideration a number of shares of LGL common stock based on an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”), the numerator of which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $863,400,000 by $10.00, and the denominator of which is equal to the number of outstanding shares of IronNet on a fully diluted and as-converted basis. Holders of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards will receive LGL awards that provide for a number of shares of LGL common stock equal to the number of IronNet shares subject to the awards, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. Holders of IronNet options and warrants outstanding will receive LGL options and warrants exercisable for a number of shares of LGL common stock equal to the number of IronNet shares subject to the options and warrants, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (adjusted to be on an as-converted to common stock basis), at an exercise price per share equal to the prior per share exercise price, divided by the Exchange Ratio (adjusted to be on an as-converted to common stock basis).

 

IronNet stockholders and holders of options, warrants, stock unit awards and restricted stock awards (as applicable, only to the extent time vested as of the closing of the Merger) may also receive as additional merger consideration in the form of a pro rata portion of 1,078,125 shares of LGL common stock if the volume weighted average share price for LGL’s common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 for ten consecutive days during the two year period following the closing on the merger.

 

Certain stockholders of IronNet receiving shares of LGL common stock in connection with the Merger will be subject to a post-combination 180-day lockup period for all shares of LGL common stock held by such persons, subject to customary early release provisions.

 

The Transactions are expected to be consummated in the third quarter of 2021, after the required approval by the stockholders of LGL and the fulfillment of certain other conditions.

 

The following summaries of the Merger Agreement and the other agreements to be entered into by the parties are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Merger Agreement and agreements entered into in connection therewith. The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning given in the Merger Agreement.
