Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 22, 2014, Splunk Inc. (“Splunk”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which Splunk agreed to issue and sell up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $81.00 per share (the “Offering”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Splunk granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of Splunk’s common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering will be made pursuant to Splunk’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-193456) that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and became immediately effective on January 21, 2014.
Splunk estimates that net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $468.5 million, or approximately $538.8 million if the over-allotment option is exercised, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated Offering expenses. Splunk expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In addition, Splunk may use a portion of the proceeds for potential acquisitions of businesses, technologies, or other assets, although Splunk has no agreements or commitments relating to any specific acquisitions at this time.
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
