foregoing description of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the
full text of the Third Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 22, 2021, Bentley Systems, Incorporated (the "Company") issued a press
release announcing that the Company plans to commence, subject to market
conditions and other factors, a private offering (the "Notes Offering") of $500
million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2027 (the
"Notes") to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").
The Company also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes a 13-day
option to purchase up to an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of
Notes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to
repay existing indebtedness and to pay the cost of anticipated capped call
transactions related to the Notes Offering. A copy of the press release is being
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by
reference.
As of March 31, 2021, after giving effect to the payment of the cash
consideration for the acquisition of Seequent Holdings Limited and the Notes
Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom (assuming no exercise of the initial
purchasers' option to purchase additional Notes): (i) the Company would have had
$102 million of secured indebtedness, excluding $0.2 million in outstanding
letters of credit, under its Credit Facility with an additional $748 million of
availability thereunder and (ii) approximately $240 million of cash and cash
equivalents (which cash amount does not reflect the intended usage of cash to
pay the cost of entering into the capped call transactions).
