Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 29, 2018, Tintri, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Asset Purchase Agreement”) with DataDirect Networks, Inc. (“Parent”) and TI Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), which amended and restated in its entirety that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2018 (the “Original Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and Purchaser.

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2018, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered an order on August 1, 2018 approving the bid procedures proposed by the Company, pursuant to which the Company was authorized to conduct an auction (the “Auction”) for the sale of substantially all of its assets under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bid Procedures”). The Bid Procedures provided that the terms of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement would serve as a baseline for evaluating higher and better offers for the Company’s assets. Pursuant to the terms of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser agreed to pay no less than $52.5 million in exchange for the assets of the Company to be acquired pursuant to the Original Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchased Assets”).

The Auction commenced on August 27, 2018. At the Auction, and in accordance with the Bid Procedures, the Company selected Purchaser’s final bid as the highest or otherwise best offer to acquire the Purchased Assets, which such final bid is reflected in the terms of the Amended Asset Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser agreed to pay no less than $60.0 million in exchange for the Purchased Assets (the “Acquisition”), with the purchase price consisting of (i) cash in the amount of $35.0 million and (ii) the assumption of specified liabilities, which include $25.0 million of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness to TriplePoint Capital (“TriplePoint”).

The Acquisition is contingent upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the terms of the sale order of the Bankruptcy Court (the “Sale Order”) approving the Acquisition under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Sale Order, which also provides for the assignment to, and assumption by, Purchaser of certain executory contracts and service agreements under Section 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 29, 2018. The parties expect the Acquisition to close on August 31, 2018.

The Company anticipates that proceeds from the Acquisition will be insufficient to satisfy all of its debts and obligations. Consequently, it is highly unlikely that any amounts will ultimately be paid to the Company’s stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Amended Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Asset Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. The Amended Asset Purchase Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this report to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. The Amended Asset Purchase Agreement is not intended to provide any factual information about the Company, Parent or Purchaser.

The Company’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
