| Overview and Basis of Presentation | Overview and Basis of Presentation Company and Background
ForgeRock, Inc. (“ForgeRock” or “the Company”) is a modern digital identity platform transforming the way enterprises secure, manage, and govern the identities of customers, employees and partners, APIs, microservices, devices, and Internet of Things (IoT). Organizations adopt the ForgeRock Identity Platform as their digital identity system of record to enhance data security and sovereignty as well as improve performance. ForgeRock’s identity platform provides a full suite of identity management, access management, identity governance, and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered autonomous identity solutions. The Company is headquartered in San Francisco, California and has operations in Canada and the United States of America (collectively referred to as Americas), France, Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom (collectively referred to as EMEA), Australia, New Zealand and Singapore (collectively referred to as APAC). The Company was formed in Norway in 2009 and incorporated in Delaware in February 2012.
Initial Public Offering
On September 20, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), in which the Company issued and sold 12,650,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price per share of $25.00, including 1,650,000 shares resulting from the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The Company received net proceeds of $295.7 million from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $21.3 million and before deducting estimated offering costs of $6.2 million.
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, all shares of the Company’s outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into 42,778,408 shares of common stock on a one-to-one basis and immediately thereafter but still prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, all outstanding shares of common stock were reclassified into 25,421,137 shares of Class B common stock on a one-to-one basis.
Pending Merger
On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into ForgeRock and ForgeRock will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Thoma Bravo.
Under the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock (except for certain shares specified in the Merger Agreement) will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $23.25 per share, without interest.
Completion of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (i) the absence of any order issued by any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction or any law applicable to the merger that, in each case, prevents, materially restrains, or materially impairs the consummation of the Merger; and (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act, and the absence of any agreement with any governmental authority not to consummate the Merger.
On December 22, 2022, ForgeRock and Parent each received a 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 ForgeRock and Parent have substantially complied with the Second Request.
On January 12, 2023, we received approval of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of ForgeRock’s stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting power of ForgeRock’s common stock.
ForgeRock and entities affiliated with Thoma Bravo have entered into the Timing Agreement with the DOJ in connection with the Merger and the Second Request. Under the Timing Agreement, ForgeRock and Thoma Bravo have agreed that they will certify compliance with the Second Request no earlier than May 1, 2023, and will not consummate the Merger less than 75 days after compliance with the Second Request. The Timing Agreement does not prevent ForgeRock and Thoma Bravo from consummating the Merger sooner if the DOJ closes its investigation of the Merger before that date. The expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act (and the absence of any agreement with any governmental authority not to consummate the Merger) is the only remaining approval or regulatory condition required to consummate the closing of the Merger under the Merger Agreement.
Upon consummation of the Merger, ForgeRock will cease to be a publicly traded company and its Class A common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and assumptions. The significant estimates and assumptions include but are not limited to (i) standalone selling price (“SSP”) in revenue recognition, (ii) valuation allowance of deferred income taxes, (iii) valuation of stock-based compensation, (iv) valuation of the Company’s common stock prior to the Company’s IPO in September 2021, (v) valuation of the preferred stock tranche option liability prior to the Company’s IPO, and (vi) valuation of preferred stock warrant liability. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and makes estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results may differ from these assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a sustained global slowdown of economic activity that has decreased demand for certain goods and services, including possibly from the Company’s customers. While we have not experienced significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to accurately predict the extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition going forward. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. If the pandemic or its impact changes, the Company’s judgments or estimates will also change, and those changes could materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
