Introductory Note

On October 5, 2023, Kaleyra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Kaleyra”), Tata Communications Limited, a company listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (“Tata Communications”) and TC Delaware Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Communications (“Merger Sub”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 28, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company and Tata Communications. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Communications.

 

Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and in Items 2.03, 3.03, 5.02, 5.03 and 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.01.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, upon the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) that was issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Tata Communications or any of its subsidiaries (including Merger Sub), or any shares of Company Common Stock as to which appraisal rights had been properly exercised in accordance with Delaware law, was automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive $7.25, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”).

At the Effective Time, each Company RSU outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into and became the right to receive, directly or indirectly through the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock, an amount in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, equal to the product of (i) the Per Share Price and (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such vested Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested Company RSU was cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive an aggregate amount in cash (without interest) (a “converted cash award”) equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) $7.25, less applicable withholding taxes. Except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, each such converted cash award continues to have, and remains subject to, the same vesting terms and

 

- 2 -


conditions as applied to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, with payment forfeited to the extent vesting is not satisfied; provided, however, that if a holder of a converted cash award is terminated by Parent or the Surviving Corporation (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) without “cause” (as defined in such holder’s then-effective employment agreement with the Company or one of its subsidiaries or, if none, determined consistently in accordance with the Company’s past practices) in connection with the closing of the Merger or thereafter but on or prior to December 31, 2024, such holder’s then unvested converted cash award will automatically accelerate and become vested upon such date of termination.

At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, whether listed on the NYSE or otherwise (each, a “Company Warrant”), outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was, pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated December 7, 2017, as amended on June 28, 2023, by and between the Company (previously known as GigCapital, Inc.) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (as amended, the “Warrant Agreement”), automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Warrant multiplied by (b) the excess, if any of (i) the Per Share Price over (ii) the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) as reduced by an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Exercise Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (B) (I) the Per Share Price minus (II) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement). Based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value calculated pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Company Warrants were cancelled and converted into the right to receive zero dollars ($0) in cash.

As a result of the completion of the Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Tata Communications.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the other items of this Current Report on Form 8-K, (ii) the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2023, (iii) the Warrant Agreement and (iv) the Merger Agreement, a copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.

 

Item 2.03.

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On October 5, 2023, the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2021 (the “Indenture”), relating to the Company’s 6.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture was required to be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The Supplemental Indenture provides that, from and after the effective time of the Merger, for all conversions of the Notes, (i) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be solely cash in an amount equal to the conversion rate then in effect on the conversion date (as may be increased pursuant to the terms of the Indenture), multiplied by the Per Share Price and (ii) the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying cash to converting holders of the Notes on the second business day immediately following the relevant conversion date.

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the Indenture was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 7, 2021 and a copy of the Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, and the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture are incorporated herein by reference.

On October 5, 2023, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Merger had been completed and requested that NYSE suspend trading of Company Common Stock on NYSE prior to the opening of trading on October 5, 2023. The Company also requested that NYSE file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting of all shares of Company Common Stock from NYSE and the deregistration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, the shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be listed on NYSE.

In connection with the deregistration of the shares of Company Common Stock described above, the Company also filed post-effective amendments to certain of its outstanding registration statements to terminate the effectiveness of such registration statements and remove from registration any and all unsold securities under such registration statements. In addition, the Company intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of all shares of Company Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to all shares of Common Stock.

 

Item 3.03.

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock was cancelled and each holder of Company Common Stock ceased to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company other than the right to receive the merger consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, its omnichannel and other product and global customer developments, its expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding the business plans of Kaleyra’s management team. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by Kaleyra in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on Kaleyra as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Kaleyra will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the mix of services utilized by Kaleyra’s customers and such customers’ needs for these services, including any variability by geography, market acceptance of new service offerings, the ability of Kaleyra to expand what it does for existing customers as well as to add new customers, that Kaleyra will have sufficient capital to operate as anticipated, and the impact that geopolitical and macroeconomic factors such as the war in Ukraine, may have on Kaleyra’s operations, the demand for Kaleyra’s products, global supply chains and economic activity in general. Additional risk factors that that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability of Kaleyra and Tata Communications to timely and successfully achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction; (ii) significant transaction costs associated with the transaction; (iii) potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction; (iv) the risk that disruptions from the transaction will harm Kaleyra’s business, including current plans and operations; (v) the ability of Kaleyra to retain and hire key personnel; (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; (vii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting Kaleyra’s business; (viii) general economic and market

 

- 5 -


developments and conditions; (ix) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which Kaleyra operates; and (x) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the merger that could affect Kaleyra’s financial performance. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions being made prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 1. DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. - The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the Corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and officers; and, provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d).

SECTION 2. EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS. - The Corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.

SECTION 3. EXPENSES. - The Corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this section or otherwise.

 

-7-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section, no advance shall be made by the Corporation to an officer of the Corporation (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the Corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

SECTION 4. ENFORCEMENT. - Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this section to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the Corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the Corporation) for advances, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the officer or director has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this section or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

SECTION 5. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. - The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation,

 

-8-


Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, or by any other applicable law.

SECTION 6. SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS. - The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

SECTION 7. INSURANCE. - To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the Corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this section.

SECTION 8. AMENDMENTS. - Any repeal or modification of this section shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the Corporation.

SECTION 9. SAVING CLAUSE. - If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this section that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this section shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall indemnify each director and officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.

SECTION 10. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. - For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)  The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.
