Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The Merger became effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Effective Time"). At the
Effective Time, each share of Presidio common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (excluding Cancelled Shares, Converted Shares and Dissenting Shares) was
converted into the right to receive $16.60 in cash, without interest, subject to
applicable withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration").
At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Common Stock ("Company
Option") vested (with performance-based Company Options vesting to the extent of
achievement of the applicable performance goals) and was cancelled and converted
into and what became the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest,
equal to the product of (1) the Merger Consideration, less the applicable
exercise price, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock subject
to such Company Option, less applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Merger Agreement, with respect to Company
Options in which the exercise price per share was greater than or equal to the
Merger Consideration, such Company Options were cancelled for no consideration.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, which were filed
as Exhibits 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting for Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing.
In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company notified the NASDAQ
Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") that the Certificate of Merger had been filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and that, at the Effective
Time, each share of Common Stock (other than Cancelled Shares, Converted Shares
and Dissenting Shares) was converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration. In addition, the Company requested that NASDAQ delist the Common
Stock, and as a result, trading of the Common Stock, which trades under the
ticker symbol "PSDO" on NASDAQ, was suspended after the close of trading on
NASDAQ on December 18, 2019. The Company also requested that NASDAQ file a
notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 with the SEC to
effect the delisting of the Common Stock from NASDAQ and the deregistration of
the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

In addition, the Company intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the
SEC, requesting the termination of registration of the Common Stock under
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations
under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Common
