On November 30, 2017, Limelight Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement by and among the Company and certain investment funds affiliated with The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (such investment funds collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), on the one hand, and B. Riley FBR, Inc. (the “underwriter”), on the other hand. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to the underwriter for resale to the public (the “Offering”). The shares were offered to the public at a price of $4.60 per share, and were offered to the underwriter at a price of $4.35 per share. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the Offering. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on December 5, 2017.
The underwriting agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, customary conditions to closing, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the underwriter may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-170609), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 26, 2010, and a related prospectus dated November 26, 2010 and included as part of that registration statement, and a prospectus supplement dated November 30, 2017 and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.
