Item 8.01 Other Events.
Harmonic Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC (“CCCM”), an affiliate of Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”), has elected enterprise license pricing for the Company’s CableOS software (the “Election”) as contemplated under certain existing commercial agreements between the Company and CCCM. In connection with the Election, which is effective as of July 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), CCCM committed to $175 million in software license fees over the four year term of the enterprise license, subject to certain incentive credits that may be earned by CCCM pursuant to other purchases of CableOS-related products. CCCM will pay the initial $50 million of the enterprise license fees in 2019.
The Company previously issued a Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of the Company to Comcast on September 26, 2016. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant, Comcast has the right to purchase up to 7,816,162 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an exercise price of $4.76, subject to vesting upon Comcast’s achievement of certain milestones and thresholds. Prior to the Effective Date, Comcast had already vested in 1,954,042 Warrant Shares as a result of the achievement of certain milestones.
In consideration for the Election commitments and certain other purchase commitments, the Company deemed that all of the remaining milestones and thresholds required to fulfill each of the vesting requirements of the Warrant were satisfied and achieved or otherwise waived such that all Warrant Shares were fully vested and exercisable as of the Effective Date. The remaining terms of the Warrant have not been modified or amended.
The Warrant was attached as Exhibit 4.5 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2019.
