In addition, as previously announced, on September 5, 2023, LegalZoom entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Selling Stockholder pursuant to which LegalZoom intends to repurchase 4,718,755 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45.1 million directly from the Selling Stockholder in a private, non-underwritten transaction (the “Stock Repurchase”) at a price per share of $9.55, which is equal to the price to be paid by the underwriters to the Selling Stockholder in the Secondary Offering. The Stock Repurchase is expected to be funded from cash on hand and will be part of LegalZoom’s existing share repurchase program. The Stock Repurchase is subject to the completion of the Secondary Offering and is expected to close concurrently with the Secondary Offering. The completion of the Secondary Offering is not contingent upon the completion of the Stock Repurchase.

Also as previously announced, on September 5, 2023, the Selling Stockholder entered into a stock purchase agreement with entities affiliated with Technology Crossover Ventures (“TCV”), an existing stockholder of LegalZoom, pursuant to which TCV intends to purchase 2,094,240 shares of LegalZoom’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $20.0 million directly from the Selling Stockholder in a private, non-underwritten transaction (the “TCV Purchase”) at a price per share of $9.55, which is equal to the price to be paid by the underwriters to the Selling Stockholder in the Secondary Offering. The TCV Purchase is subject to the completion of the Secondary Offering and is expected to close after the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 relating to the TCV Purchase has expired or been terminated. The completion of the Secondary Offering is not contingent upon the completion of the TCV Purchase. Neither the Stock Repurchase nor the TCV Purchase is contingent upon the completion of the other.
