The provisions outlined in the 2030 Notes Indenture could pose significant challenges for A10 Networks by complicating or increasing the cost of potential takeover attempts. Specifically, these provisions grant noteholders the right to demand repurchase of their notes for cash if a takeover is deemed a fundamental change, and may require a temporary increase in the conversion rate for make-whole fundamental changes. Such financial obligations could deter third-party acquisitions or the removal of current management, even in scenarios where such changes might be advantageous to noteholders or common stockholders. Consequently, these provisions could act as a barrier to otherwise beneficial corporate restructuring or acquisition opportunities.
