Explanatory Statement

On October 17, 2017, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”) announced the entry into definitive agreements for the sale of Intralinks Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Synchronoss (“Intralinks”), and the sale of shares of a newly created series of preferred stock of Synchronoss to affiliates of Siris Capital Group, LLC (“Siris”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2017 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), among Synchronoss, Intralinks and Impala Private Holdings II, LLC, an affiliate of Siris (“Impala”), Impala agreed to acquire from Synchronoss the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Intralinks for approximately $977 million in cash plus a potential contingent payment of up to $25 million (as more fully described below), subject to an adjustment for cash, debt and working capital (the “Intralinks Transaction”).

Item 1.02.                                        Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Intralinks Transaction, Synchronoss utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Intralinks Transaction to repay all outstanding obligations under its previously existing senior secured credit agreement, dated as of January 19, 2017, among, inter alia, Synchronoss, the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and a letter of credit issuer, as amended from time to time (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).  In connection therewith, Synchronoss delivered all notices and took all other actions to facilitate and cause the termination of the Prior Credit Agreement, the repayment in full of all obligations then outstanding thereunder and the release of any security interests in connection therewith, effective as of November 14, 2017.  The aggregate payoff amount was approximately $898 million and included all accrued interest, fees and prepayment penalties associated therewith.

Item 2.01.                                              Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, on November 14, 2017, Synchronoss consummated the sale of Intralinks.  At the closing of the Intralinks Transaction, Impala acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Intralinks for approximately $991 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments for changes in cash, debt and working capital.  If, in the future, Impala receives net cash proceeds in excess of $440 million from any sale of equity or assets of Intralinks, or a dividend or distribution in respect of the shares of Intralinks, then Impala is required to pay Synchronoss up to an additional $25 million in cash or publicly traded securities.  Immediately following the consummation of the Intralinks Transaction, Synchronoss paid to Impala $5 million as partial reimbursement of the out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Impala, Siris and their respective affiliates in connection with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Intralinks Transaction.

The total amount of funds used to complete the Intralinks Transaction and related transactions and pay related fees and expenses was approximately $1 billion, which was funded through a combination of equity and debt financing obtained by Impala.

As of November 14, 2017, investment funds affiliated with Siris owned 5,994,667 shares of Synchronoss’ common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), or approximately 12.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of such date.

This summary of the Share Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Synchronoss’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 19, 2017 and incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

On November 14, 2017, Synchronoss issued a press release announcing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement.  The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

On November 14, 2017, Silver Private Holdings I, LLC (“Silver”), an affiliate of Siris, notified Synchronoss pursuant to Section 3.2 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and between Synchronoss and Silver dated October 17, 2017 (the “PIPE Purchase Agreement”), that Silver was exercising its right to reschedule the closing of the purchase and sale of

185,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Participating Perpetual Preferred Stock pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement until February 15, 2018.

Enables Synchronoss to Advance Position as Leading Global Technology Solutions Provider with Renewed Focus on Core Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT) Business

BRIDGEWATER, N.J.  — November 14, 2017 — Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SNCR), a global leader and innovator of cloud, messaging and digital transformation products, today announced that it has completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Intralinks Holdings, Inc. (“Intralinks”) to an investment fund affiliated with Siris Capital Group, LLC (“Siris”).  As previously announced, on October 17, 2017, investment funds affiliated with Siris signed an agreement to acquire all of the stock of Intralinks for approximately $1 billion in consideration.  Synchronoss intends to use the proceeds from the Intralinks transaction primarily to retire its term loan debt.

Intralinks will now operate as an independent, privately owned portfolio company of investment funds affiliated with Siris.  Leif O’Leary, formerly Executive Vice President of Strategic Financials for Synchronoss, has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of Intralinks.

As previously disclosed on October 17, 2017, and under the terms of a separate definitive agreement, investment funds affiliated with Siris agreed to make an investment in convertible preferred equity of Synchronoss in an amount of $185 million, subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement, which the Company has previously publicly filed.  Subject to satisfaction of the closing conditions in that agreement, this investment is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2018.
