Summary
Palo Alto Networks (PANW) filed an 8-K/A amendment on March 27, 2019, to provide final details on its acquisition of Demisto, Inc., which closed on February 18, 2019. This amendment clarifies the exact number of shares issued as consideration for the acquisition. The initial 8-K filing on February 19, 2019, did not contain these final figures because they were subject to adjustments based on stockholder elections and the average closing price of PANW's common stock in the 20 trading days prior to closing. The key takeaway for investors is the finalization of the share issuance for the Demisto acquisition. PANW ultimately issued 1,184,019 shares of its common stock to Demisto's stockholders. This issuance was made to accredited investors and qualified for exemptions from SEC registration requirements, specifically Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. This provides clarity on the dilutive impact of this acquisition on existing shareholders.
