Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merge

On October 20, 2023, Ooma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Geneva Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with 2600hz, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“2600hz”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as representative of certain securityholders of 2600hz. On October 20, 2023, the Company consummated the acquisition of 2600hz pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Acquisition”) and 2600hz became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Surviving Corporation”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of 2600hz common stock (other than shares held in treasury and shares owned by stockholders who have properly made and not withdrawn or lost a demand for appraisal rights) and vested “in-the-money options” (including any that are accelerated pursuant to the terms of 2600hz’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan) have been cancelled in exchange for an aggregate of $33 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. A portion of the aggregate consideration will be held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of 2600hz securityholders.

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and 2600hz. In addition, the Company has agreed to cause restricted stock units to be issued under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to certain service providers of 2600hz who remain employed or engaged with the Company or its subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, after the closing of the Acquisition, with the underlying shares having an aggregate value of $5.85 million. The number of underlying shares to such restricted stock units shall be calculated based upon the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the period beginning on the sixtieth (60th) trading day prior to the date of the Merger Agreement and ending the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Merger Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2023.

 

Credit Facility

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Citizens Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), lender, sole lead arranger and sole book runner. The Credit Agreement provides for an initial $30 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), which includes a subfacility for letters of credit. The limit for the letter for credit subfacility is equal to the lesser of (a) $10 million and (b) the aggregate amount of revolving commitments. To secure its obligations with respect to letters of credit, the Company may be required to provide collateral in the form of cash to the letter of credit issuer. The Company has initially borrowed $18,075,000 million under the Revolving Facility to partially fund the purchase price under the Merger Agreement and to pay fees and expenses in connection with its entry into the Revolving Facility.

 

In addition to the Revolving Facility, the Company may, from time to time, request incremental term loans and/or additional revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20 million.

 

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility may consist of ABR Loans and SOFR Loans. ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the “Alternate Base Rate” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Alternate Base Rate for any date is the highest of (i) the Agent’s prime rate on such date, (ii) the federal funds effective rate on such date plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) the Term SOFR in effect on such date for a one-month Interest Period (which shall not be less than 0.00%) plus 1% per annum. SOFR Loans will bear interest at a rate equal to “Term SOFR” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which shall not be less than 0.00%, plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate on loans may be increased by 5.00%. With respect to any letter of credit borrowing or any interest, fee or other amount payable under the loan documents which shall not have been paid when due, the default rate equals the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus (ii) the Applicable Margin applicable to ABR revolving borrowings, plus (iii) 5.00% per annum.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and indemnification provisions in favor of the Agent, lenders and their affiliates.

 

The commitments under Revolving Facility will terminate on October 19, 2026, unless terminated earlier, either at the request of the Company or, if an event of default occurs, at the request of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (or automatically in the case of certain bankruptcy-related events). Any incremental term loan will mature on the maturity date of such term loan, as set forth in the applicable incremental assumption agreement. Upon an event of default, the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, may declare loans, including incremental term loans, then outstanding to be due and payable in whole or in part,


whereupon the principal of the loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of each loan party accrued under the loan documents, will become due and payable immediately.

 

The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2023.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Ooma Acquires 2600Hz, Inc.,

A Leader in Communications Applications

For Service Providers

Sunnyvale, CA – Monday, October 23, 2023 – Ooma, Inc., a smart communications platform for businesses and consumers, today announced that it has acquired 2600Hz, Inc., a leader in modern and flexible business communications applications targeted at resellers and carriers, for approximately $33 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. 2600Hz is expected to add approximately $7 million in annual recurring revenue to Ooma.

 

The transaction was completed on October 20, 2023. The purchase price was partially funded by a new $30 million revolving line of credit facility with Citizens Bank, N.A. Additionally, following the closing, certain former 2600Hz employees who join Ooma will be granted equity awards under Ooma's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to vesting conditions.

 

2600Hz (https://www.2600hz.com/) has a global customer base leveraging Kazoo (https://2600hz.org/), its open-source communications solution, and a suite of proprietary applications through open APIs to provide Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS), Call Center as a Service (CCaaS) and AI tools and applications. With the transaction, Ooma takes over the direction and development of 2600Hz’s technology road map and will complement the 2600Hz offerings with Ooma’s proprietary intellectual property to create more powerful, scalable and open communications solutions for the industry.

 

As a proponent and user of 2600Hz open-source applications for more than ten years, Ooma has extensively integrated its intellectual property with 2600Hz. The acquisition advances Ooma’s integrated business service through the addition of Call Center, CPaaS and AI capabilities. It will also expand Ooma’s customer base to include service providers and resellers utilizing 2600Hz for their bespoke offerings. For 2600Hz, the acquisition will strengthen its solution by leveraging Ooma’s low-cost telecom infrastructure and scale, as well as its mobile, web, desktop and other applications.

 

“We’re delighted to welcome 2600Hz into the Ooma portfolio of business solutions,” said Eric Stang, chief executive officer of Ooma. “This acquisition is complementary to our strategy to extend our leadership in serving business customers, both directly and now through other service providers, and it is expected to accelerate overall growth of Ooma and the reach of our solutions. We are excited to bring Ooma’s unique engineering expertise to better serve 2600Hz’s customers worldwide.”

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP acted as legal advisor to Ooma, and Beyers Costin Simon PC acted as legal advisor to 2600Hz.
