Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on March 7, 2022, Mandiant, Inc. ("Mandiant") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Google LLC ("Google") and Dupin Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Google ("Merger Sub"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Mandiant (the "Merger"), with Mandiant surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Google. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act").

On March 21, 2022, Mandiant and Google filed the Notification and Report Forms required under the HSR Act with the Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and the Federal Trade Commission. On April 20, 2022, Mandiant and Google each received a request for additional information (together, the "Second Request") from the DOJ in connection with the DOJ's review of the Merger. The issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after both Mandiant and Google have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier by the DOJ or extended by agreement of Mandiant and Google.

Mandiant and Google expect to promptly respond to the Second Request and to continue working cooperatively with the DOJ as it conducts its review of the Merger. Mandiant and Google currently expect the closing of the Merger to occur in 2022.
