Pivotal Acquisition Corp (NYSE: PVT, PVT.U and PVT.W) (“Pivotal”) today announced that it has entered into an amendment to the previously announced definitive agreement with KLDiscovery (“KLD”) pursuant to which the outside date to consummate the proposed merger between the two parties was extended from October 31, 2019 to November 6, 2019.

Pivotal is in the process of analyzing multiple expressions of interest from several financial institutions that would be used to provide financing for both the transaction and the post-closing expansion goals of KLD. Pivotal and KLD mutually agreed to extend the outside date under the definitive agreement in order to allow the parties sufficient time to analyze such options in a deliberate manner and to ensure that the original deadline did not impede reaching an optimal agreement for Pivotal and KLD.

The parties intend to continue their discussions and remain focused on completing the proposed transaction as soon as possible, but there is no guarantee that an agreement will be reached.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

Pivotal has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, including a proxy statement/prospectus, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to be used in connection with its meeting of stockholders to approve the proposed transaction with KLD. The proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders as of a record date established for voting on the proposed business combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF PIVOTAL ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT, PROSPECTUS AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents containing important information about Pivotal and KLD once such documents are filed with the SEC, through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.
