Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 1.02 below is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on August 16, 2021, M3-Brigade Acquisition II Corp., a Delaware corporation (“MBAC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Blue Steel Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MBAC (“Merger Sub”), and Syniverse Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Syniverse”), pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into Syniverse, with Syniverse surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of MBAC.

On February 9, 2022, MBAC and Syniverse entered into a Mutual Written Consent of Termination (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement effective as of February 9, 2022 due to unfavorable market conditions.

As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, certain transaction agreements entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) the Sponsor Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2021, by and among MBAC, Syniverse, M3-Brigade Sponsor II LP and the other party thereto, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by MBAC on August 17, 2021 (the “Prior 8-K”), and (ii) the subscription agreements, dated as of August 16, 2021, by and between MBAC and certain investors, copies of which were filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to the Prior 8-K, have also been terminated and are no longer effective.

MBAC intends to continue to pursue a business combination.

The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the full text of the Termination Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 9, 2022, MBAC issued a press release announcing the termination of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the special meeting of MBAC’s stockholders, which was scheduled to be held on February 9, 2022, for the purpose of voting on the Merger Agreement and proposed transactions related thereto, will not take place.

Forward Looking Statements

Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 99.1

M3-Brigade Acquisition II Corp. Announces Termination of Merger Agreement with Syniverse

NEW YORK, February 9, 2022 – M3-Brigade Acquisition II Corp. (NYSE: MBAC) (“MBAC”), a special purpose acquisition corporation, announced today that it has terminated its merger agreement with Syniverse by mutual agreement of all relevant parties. As a result, the special meeting of MBAC stockholders to approve the proposed transaction has been cancelled and MBAC will seek an alternative business combination.

Mohsin Y. Meghji, the Chief Executive Officer of MBAC, said: “We are disappointed that recent changes in market conditions made it impossible to consummate our proposed merger, but Syniverse is a great company with a strong management team and we are confident that it has a very bright future.”

The rate of MBAC stockholder redemptions for the proposed transaction would have exceeded the minimum condition for closing. “Although the parties collaboratively sought potential solutions in anticipation of high redemptions as a result of the recent turbulence in capital markets and growth stocks, these same conditions prevented the parties from reaching agreement on modifying the transaction terms,” said Donald E. Morgan III, the Founder, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Brigade Capital Management, LP. “Nobody on the MBAC team is happy to have a failed deal and rest assured that we will have alternative sources of financing in hand for our next proposed combination,” he continued.

MBAC closed its initial public offering on March 8, 2021 and has 24 months from such date to complete its initial business combination.
