On February 11, 2020, CSGP Holdings, LLC (“CSGP”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, RentPath Holdings, Inc. (“RentPath”), certain direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of RentPath (together with RentPath, the “Sellers”), and, solely for the purposes set forth therein, the Company, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) dated as of February 12, 2020. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, CSGP has agreed to acquire for $588 million in cash all of the equity interests of RentPath, as reorganized following an internal restructuring of the Sellers (“Reorganized RentPath") pursuant to and under the joint chapter 11 plan of reorganization of the Sellers and certain of their affiliates to be filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to guarantee the full and timely performance of CSGP’s obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under applicable antitrust laws and bankruptcy court approvals. The purchase agreement requires the Company to pay a $59 million fee in the event the purchase agreement is terminated under specified circumstances in which certain antitrust approvals are not obtained, or a governmental order related to antitrust or competition matters prohibits the consummation of the transaction.
