Item 3.02    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On January 7, 2016, Upland completed its purchase of substantially all of the assets of a California-based website analytics provider. The purchase price consideration paid was approximately $8.2 million in cash payable at closing (net of $0.2 million of cash acquired) and a $1.2 million cash holdback payable in 12 months (subject to indemnification claims). The foregoing excludes additional potential earnout payments tied to performance-based conditions.

In addition to the cash consideration described above, the Asset Purchase Agreement included a contingent share consideration component pursuant to which Upland expects to issue within the first year an aggregate of approximately $2.4 million in shares of its common stock to the seller based on achieving certain post-closing minimal revenue levels. The number of shares of Upland common stock to be issued will be determined based on the average closing price of Upland’s common stock on the five trading days prior to July 7, 2016. All of the shares to be issued to the seller will be unregistered shares. Additionally, the shares of Upland common stock will be issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2) thereof. With respect to securities that may be sold in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Upland expects to issue the shares subject to a representation that the recipient is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and to no more than 35 unaccredited investors and not to engage in general solicitation with respect to the sale of securities in connection with the acquisition or the issuance.

Item 8.01    Other Events.

On January 7, 2016, Upland entered into an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of a California-based website analytics provider. Upland expects the acquired product to generate approximately $4.5 million in revenue in 2016, subject to reductions for a deferred revenue discount as a result of GAAP purchase accounting. The purchase price consideration consisted of $8.2 million in cash payable at closing (net of $0.2 million of cash acquired), a $1.2 million cash holdback payable in 12 months (subject to indemnification claims) and the contingent share consideration described in Item 3.02 above. The foregoing excludes any potential earnout payments tied to performance-based conditions. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
