Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 2, 2022, NortonLifeLock Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the Company's previously announced merger with Avast plc ("Avast") is expected to close on September 12, 2022 following the issuance of the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority's final report clearing the transaction. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K under this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.01), is being furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.





Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "aim", "will", "may", "would", "could" or "should" or other words of similar meaning or the negative thereof. There are many factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the Merger will not be completed on a timely basis or at all, whether due to the failure to satisfy the conditions of the Merger or otherwise. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in the Risk Factors sections of the Company's most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, the contents of which are not incorporated by reference into, nor do they form part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

By their nature, these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, as well as uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this Current Report on Form 8-K are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, Avast or any persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. The Company does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules.
