facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $7.05 billion, (2) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1.0 billion, (3) a senior secured bridge term facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $4.0 billion, and (4) an unsecured bridge term facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $3.95 billion, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a commitment letter, dated as of January 31, 2022 and delivered to the Company in advance of execution of the Merger Agreement (the “Debt Commitment Letter”). The obligations of the Lenders to provide the debt financing under the Debt Commitment Letter are subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of executed loan documentation, accuracy of representations and warranties, consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, contribution of the equity contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter, and completion of the designated  marketing period.

Limited Guarantees

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the Elliott Funds, Vista and TIBCO has executed and delivered a limited guarantee in favor of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantees”), pursuant to which each guarantor has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Guarantee, to guarantee, on a several basis, the payment of its applicable percentage of Parent’s obligations to pay the Parent termination fee (as described in more detail under “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Expenses”), certain reimbursement and indemnification obligations of Parent, and certain collection and interest payment obligations under the Merger Agreement, which are referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.” The Guaranteed Obligations are subject to a cap in an aggregate amount equal to $835.5 million.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

Details of the beneficial ownership of Citrix common stock by Citrix’s non-employee directors and executive officers are set forth in the section of this proxy statement titled “—Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” In addition to their interests in the Merger as stockholders, Citrix’s non-employee directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Citrix stockholders generally. In considering the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting, you should be aware of these interests. Members of the Citrix Board and the Transaction Committee were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the Merger Agreement and to declare that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were advisable and in the best interests of Citrix and its stockholders, and in recommending that the holders of Citrix common stock vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement.

Certain Assumptions

Except as otherwise specifically noted, for purposes of quantifying the potential payments and benefits described in this section, the following assumptions were used:

   

the relevant price per share of Citrix common stock is $104.00 (referred to as the “merger consideration”);

   

except for Messrs. Henshall and Shenkman, each executive officer’s employment is terminated by Citrix without “cause” or by the executive officer for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in each executive officer’s employment or executive agreement with Citrix), in each case, immediately following the effective time of the Merger;

   

Mr. Henshall’s employment with the Company terminated on February 28, 2022 and he will receive the severance benefits as set forth in the Henshall separation agreement (as defined below);

   

Mr. Shenkman’s employment with the Company terminated on March 11, 2022 and he will receive the severance benefits as set forth in the Shenkman separation agreement (as defined below);

   

each non-employee director and executive officer holds the outstanding equity awards that were held by each such non-employee director or executive officer as of February 15, 2022, the latest practicable date before the filing of this proxy statement; and

   

the amounts set forth below regarding executive officer compensation are based on compensation levels as of February 15, 2022.

Citrix’s current executive officers are:

   

Robert M. Calderoni, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and President,

   

Michael Arenth, our Executive Vice President, Work Solutions,

   

Antonio G. Gomes, our Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer,

Shenkman, our former Chief Financial Officer, each of whom was a named executive officer in the last proxy statement that Citrix filed with the SEC. As of the date of this proxy statement, Mr. Hough remains an employee of the Company. Mr. Henshall ceased to be our Chief Executive Officer in October 2021 and transitioned to serving in an advisory role until his employment with the Company terminated on February 28, 2022.

Treatment of Equity and Equity-Based Awards

For additional information regarding beneficial ownership of Citrix common stock by each of Citrix’s non-employee directors and named executive officers and beneficial ownership of Citrix common stock by all non-employee directors and executive officers as a group, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” Each of Citrix’s non-employee directors and executive officers will be entitled to receive, for each share of Citrix common stock he or she holds as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the same merger consideration in cash in the same manner as other holders of Citrix common stock.

Citrix’s non-employee directors hold Citrix RSU awards and Citrix DSU awards and Citrix’s executive officers hold Citrix RSU awards, Citrix DSU awards and Citrix PRSU awards that will be afforded the treatment described below. Citrix’s executive officers and non-employee directors do not hold any outstanding Citrix stock options, and Citrix’s non-employee directors do not hold any outstanding Citrix PRSU awards. Citrix’s non-employee directors are eligible to receive full acceleration of vesting of equity awards granted under the applicable equity plan upon an “acquisition” (as defined in such plan and which includes the Merger). Citrix’s executive officers are party to employment and executive agreements with Citrix that provide for certain acceleration of vesting of equity awards in the case of a qualifying termination of employment within 12 to 18 months following a change in control, which will include completion of the Merger.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger:

   

Citrix DSU awards: Each Citrix DSU award, whether or not vested, will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Citrix common stock subject to such Citrix DSU award by (2) the merger consideration.

   

Citrix RSU awards: Each Citrix RSU award (with time-based vesting only) will be automatically cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive an aggregate amount in cash (referred to as a “converted cash award”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Citrix common stock subject to such Citrix RSU award by (2) the merger consideration.

   

Citrix PRSU awards: Each Citrix RSU award that is subject to performance-based vesting will be deemed earned for such number of shares of Citrix common stock as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement, and such Citrix PRSU awards will be automatically cancelled and converted into a converted cash award with respect to an aggregate amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Citrix common stock subject to such Citrix PRSU award (as deemed earned) by (2) the merger consideration. Pursuant to the applicable award agreements, our executive officers’ PRSUs are deemed to satisfy maximum performance levels (200%) upon a change in control of Citrix, such as the Merger.

Each of the converted cash awards assumed and converted as described above shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting, acceleration of vesting and forfeiture) as applied to the corresponding Citrix RSU award or Citrix PRSU award, as applicable, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unvested equity awards held by Citrix’s non-employee directors will automatically accelerate and become fully vested in connection with the Merger in accordance with Citrix’s equity plans in place prior to the Merger.

The tables below show the number of shares underlying outstanding unvested Citrix RSU awards, unvested Citrix PRSU awards and Citrix DSU awards (vested and unvested) held by Citrix’s executive officers and non-employee directors as of February 15, 2022 and the consideration, in cash, they can expect to receive for the Citrix RSU awards, Citrix PRSU awards and Citrix DSU awards, assuming continued employment/service through both the (1) closing date of the Merger and (2) earliest of any remaining vesting dates or an earlier qualifying termination (other than for Messrs. Henshall and Shenkman). For Mr. Henshall, who terminated employment with the Company on February 28, 2022, the tables below reflect the consideration, in cash, that he can expect to receive for his Citrix PRSU awards and Citrix DSU awards, to the extent they remain outstanding, upon the closing date of the Merger. The tables below also assume that no Citrix RSUs, Citrix PRSUs or Citrix DSUs held by executive officers (other than Messrs. Henshall and Shenkman) or non-employee directors will vest (unless, in the case of Citrix DSUs, already vested) or settle between February 15, 2022 and the closing date of the Merger. As noted above, as of February 15, 2022, Citrix’s executive officers and non-employee directors did not hold any outstanding Citrix stock options, and Citrix’s non-employee directors did not hold any outstanding Citrix PRSU awards. The tables below do not reflect the potential restricted stock units that Citrix’s non-employee directors may receive if the consummation of the Merger does not occur by July 1, 2022. Such

annual grants, if made, would each have an aggregate total value of $250,000 and would vest on the first anniversary of the grant date; however, if the closing of the Merger occurs prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, then a pro rata portion of such award based on the period between the grant date and such closing shall vest upon the closing of the Merger and the balance of the award will be forfeited.

The amounts set forth above reflect Citrix DSUs (both vested and unvested) and further assume that no Citrix DSUs held by executive officers or non-employee directors will settle between February 15, 2022 and the closing date. As of February 15, 2022, only Mr. Knowling held unvested Citrix DSUs (2,144).

Mr. Henshall’s employment with the Company terminated on February 28, 2022 and his vested Citrix DSUs will be paid upon the earlier of (i) six months and one day following his separation from service or (ii) upon completion of the Merger.

Severance Entitlements

Each of Citrix’s executive officers is (or was, in the cases of Messrs. Henshall and Shenkman) a party to an employment or executive agreement (each referred to as an “executive agreement”) that provides for certain severance payments and benefits in the event of a qualifying termination.

Mr. Calderoni’s executive agreement provides that, upon Mr. Calderoni’s termination of employment by Citrix without “cause” or if he resigns his position for “good reason” (each as defined in his executive agreement), in

either case upon or within the 18-month period following a “change in control” (as defined in his executive agreement and which includes the Merger), he will be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits: (1) a lump sum payment equal to one and one-half times the sum of his annual base salary plus his annual target incentive compensation; (2) a lump sum payment of his pro rata annual target cash incentive compensation for the year of termination; (3) continued health coverage for up to 18 months; and (4) full accelerated vesting of any unvested and outstanding RSUs. In addition, Mr. Calderoni would be eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment of $3.375 million for the extension of his non-competition and non-solicitation agreement for an additional six months. For purposes of the definition of “good reason” in Mr. Calderoni’s executive agreement, it will be considered a substantial reduction in the nature or scope of his duties or responsibilities if, in the event of a change in control, he is no longer serving as President and Chief Executive Officer for the ultimate parent of the resulting company or such parent is not a publicly traded company. The foregoing severance payments and benefits under Mr. Calderoni’s executive agreement are subject to the delivery of an effective separation and release agreement by Mr. Calderoni containing, among other provisions, a general release of claims in favor of the Company. Mr. Calderoni’s executive agreement does not provide for any tax gross-up payments.

Mr. Calderoni is also party to a benefits continuation agreement with the Company (referred to as the “Calderoni benefits agreement”) that provides for Mr. Calderoni and his spouse to participate in the Company’s health insurance coverage until each such individual attains age 65, or no longer requires or desires such coverage. Mr. Calderoni is currently paying the employee portion of this cost; however, the Calderoni benefits agreement provides that, after he is no longer on the Citrix Board, the Company will provide such health coverage at no cost to Mr. Calderoni.

Mr. Henshall was party to an executive agreement that provided for certain severance payments and benefits upon the termination of his employment with the Company, which occurred on February 28, 2022. In connection with his departure from the Company, Mr. Henshall entered into a separation agreement with the Company, effective as of February 28, 2022 (referred to as the “Henshall separation agreement”), pursuant to which he will receive severance payments and other separation benefits provided under his executive agreement, which are not contingent upon the Merger (consisting of 24 months of salary continuation; continued health insurance coverage and financial planning services for up to 18 months; accelerated vesting of a portion of his unvested Citrix RSU awards; and non-forfeiture of a portion of his unvested Citrix PRSU awards that will remain outstanding). These unvested Citrix PRSU awards will be treated in the same manner as other Citrix PRSU awards in the Merger. In addition, the Henshall separation agreement provides Mr. Henshall with the right to receive a supplemental payment of $8,750,000 upon the closing of the Merger. The payments and benefits under the Henshall separation agreement are subject to the execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by Mr. Henshall in favor of Citrix.

Mr. Shenkman was also party to an executive agreement that provided for certain severance payments and benefits upon the termination of his employment with the Company, which occurred on March 11, 2022. In connection with his departure from the Company, Mr. Shenkman entered into a separation agreement with the Company, effective as of March 11, 2022 (referred to as the “Shenkman separation agreement”), pursuant to which he will receive severance payments and other separation benefits provided under his executive agreement, which are not contingent upon the Merger (consisting of a lump sum payment equal to (i) his annual base salary and (ii) the higher of (a) his annual base salary and (b) his cash incentive compensation target for the fiscal year that ended immediately prior to the date of termination; continued health insurance coverage; executive-level outplacement services and continued financial planning services for up to 12 months; and accelerated vesting of a portion of Citrix RSU awards that vest solely based on the passage of time). In addition, the Shenkman separation agreement provides Mr. Shenkman with the right to receive a supplemental payment of $4,000,000 upon the closing of the Merger. The payments and benefits under the Shenkman separation agreement are subject to the execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by Mr. Shenkman in favor of Citrix.

All of Citrix’s other executive officers are a party to executive agreements that provide that upon the applicable executive’s termination by Citrix without “cause” or if he or she resigns from his or her position for “good reason” (each as defined in the executive agreement), in either case, within the 12-month period following a “change in control” (as defined in the executive agreement and which includes the Merger), he or she will be entitled to receive the following: (1) a lump sum payment equal to 150% (or 100% for Mr. Smith) of the sum of (a) his or her annual base salary and (b) his or her cash incentive compensation target for the then-current fiscal year; (2) continued health insurance coverage for up to 18 months (or 12 months for Mr. Smith); (3) accelerated vesting of the unvested portion of any equity awards (or awards issued in substitution therefor); (4) 18 months (or 12 months for Mr. Smith) of executive-level outplacement services; and (5) continued financial planning services for 18 months (or 12 months for Mr. Smith) following termination. For purposes of the definition of “good reason” in the executive agreements of Messrs. Smith, Schmitz and Gomes and Ms. Kimmel, it will be considered a substantial reduction in the nature or scope of his or her duties or responsibilities if, in the event of a change in control, he or she is no longer serving in the stated capacity for the ultimate parent of the resulting company or such parent is not a publicly traded company. The foregoing severance payments and benefits under the executive agreements for all other Citrix executive officers are subject to the delivery of an effective separation and release agreement by the executive officer containing, among other provisions, a general release of claims in favor of the Company. In addition to the foregoing, the executive agreement with Mr. Arenth provides for the accelerated vesting of his initial Citrix RSU award set forth in the table above upon a change in control of the Company, which includes the Merger. None of such executive agreements provide for a tax gross up payment.

Each of the executive agreements contains what is sometimes referred to as a “best-net” provision. If any amounts or benefits to be paid or provided under the executive agreements or otherwise would cause payments or benefits (or other compensation) to not be fully deductible by Citrix for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or that would subject the executive officer to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code), such payments and benefits (and other compensation) will be reduced to the extent necessary such that no portion of such payments or benefits (or other compensation) will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, except that such a reduction will be made only if, by reason of such reduction, the executive officer’s net after-tax benefit exceeds the net after-tax benefit such executive officer would realize if such reduction were not made.

The estimated value of the severance payments and benefits for each of Mr. Calderoni and our named executive officers is set forth below in the table entitled “—Quantification of Payments and Benefits”. Based on the same assumptions set forth in footnote 1 to such table, the estimated cash severance payment for each of the Company’s executive officers who are not named executive officers, assuming a qualifying termination immediately following the Merger, are as follows: Michael Arenth, $1,575,000; Donna N. Kimmel, $1,425,000; Hector Lima, $1,575,000; Timothy A. Minahan, $1,425,000; Mark J. Schmitz, $1,800,000; and Jason Smith, $562,500. The costs of continuing health benefits, outplacement services and financial planning services for these other executive officers would be consistent with such costs for the named executive officers as set forth in such table.

Quantification of Payments and Benefits

In accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, the table below sets forth for Mr. Calderoni and each of Citrix’s named executive officers the estimated amount of compensation based on or otherwise related to the Merger and that will or may become payable to the named executive officer (1) solely as a result of the completion of the Merger (i.e., on a “single-trigger” basis) or (2) conditioned on a qualifying termination of employment following or in connection with the Merger (i.e., on a “double-trigger” basis). The holders of Citrix common stock are being asked to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, such compensation for the named executive officers. Because the vote to approve such compensation is advisory only, it will not be binding on Citrix, Parent or Merger Subsidiary. Accordingly, if the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement is approved by the holders of Citrix common stock and the Merger is completed, the compensation will be payable regardless of

the outcome of the vote to approve such compensation, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, which are described in the footnotes to the table below and in the narrative above.

The potential payments in the table below are based on the following assumptions:

   

the relevant price per share of Citrix common stock is $104.00;

   

the effective time of the Merger is February 15, 2022, which is the assumed date of the effectiveness of the Merger solely for purposes of this golden parachute compensation disclosure;

   

each named executive officer’s employment (other than Messrs. Henshall’s and Shenkman’s employment) is subject to a qualifying termination immediately following the effective time of the Merger, which entitles the named executive officer to receive the severance benefits described above under “— Severance Entitlements;”

   

even though Messrs. Henshall and Shenkman terminated employment with the Company on February 28, 2022, and March 11, 2022, respectively, for purposes of this golden parachute compensation disclosure, the assumed date of Messrs. Henshall’s and Shenkman’s termination is before the assumed date of the effectiveness of the Merger. In connection with Messrs. Henshall’s and Shenkman’s termination, each executive will receive the severance benefits pursuant to the Henshall separation agreement and Shenkman separation agreement, respectively, described above under “— Severance Entitlements;”

   

except for Messrs. Henshall and Shenkman, each named executive officer holds the outstanding equity awards that were held by each named executive officer as of February 15, 2022, the latest practicable date before the filing of this proxy statement;

   

the amounts set forth in the table below regarding named executive officer compensation are based on compensation levels as of February 15, 2022; and

   

the “best-net” provision contained in the executive agreements, described above under “— Severance Entitlements,” will not apply.

The amounts shown are estimates of amounts that would be payable to the named executive officers based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur, including the assumptions described above. Some of the assumptions are based on information not currently available and, as a result, the actual amounts received by a named executive officer may differ materially from the amounts shown in the following table.

The following table and footnotes describe the benefits each named executive officer is eligible to receive in connection with the completion of the Merger.

As described above under “— Severance Entitlements,” the payments described in the “Cash” column, other than for Messrs. Henshall and Shenkman, are “double-trigger,” as they will only be payable in the event of a
