Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 7, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), AppFolio, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Riviera Mar, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Subsidiary”), Dynasty Marketplace, Inc. (“Dynasty”) and Fortis Advisors LLC, in its capacity as agent for the stockholders of Dynasty (collectively, the “Stockholders”), pursuant to which, upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 7, 2019, Merger Subsidiary was merged with and into Dynasty, and Dynasty became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Transaction”). At the closing of the Transaction, the Company entered into employment agreements with certain Stockholders. Dynasty is in the business of developing artificial intelligence-based software solutions for real estate businesses. There is no material relationship between the Company (or any of its affiliates) and the Stockholders other than in respect of the Transaction.
The consideration paid to the Stockholders was $60,000,000, less certain adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement, of which $6,000,000 (the “Holdback Amount”) will be retained by the Company to satisfy any such adjustments, including without limitation certain indemnification claims, if any. The balance of the Holdback Amount, less any amount retained (the “Retained Amount”) with respect to any unresolved indemnification claims (each, an “Unresolved Claim”), will be released to the Stockholders within three business days after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Holdback Release Date”). If an Unresolved Claim is finally resolved after the Holdback Release Date, then, within three business days after the final resolution of such Unresolved Claim, the balance of the Retained Amount after satisfying such Unresolved Claim, less any amounts associated with all remaining Unresolved Claims, will be released to the Stockholders.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) and which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
