Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 20, 2021, Concentrix Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated November 19, 2021, by and among the Company, CNXC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), ProKarma Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ProKarma”), and Carlyle Partners VI Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as a representative of the security holders of ProKarma (the “Seller Representative”).

The Amendment amends the Merger Agreement to provide for the assumption by the Company of certain outstanding vested in-the-money ProKarma stock options (the “Rollover Options”) in a manner that complies with Sections 409A and 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, at the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the merger of Merger Sub with and into ProKarma (the “Merger”) in lieu of cancelling such stock options in exchange for cash consideration. Each Rollover Option will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Rollover Option, and except that once assumed by the Company (1) each Rollover Option will be exercisable for a number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) equal to the product of the number of shares of ProKarma common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Rollover Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) equal to (x) the per share closing consideration in the Merger divided by (y) the average closing trading price of the Common Stock for the thirty consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger, rounded down to the nearest whole number, (2) the per share exercise price for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rollover Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price for such Rollover Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, (3) all references to the “Company” in the ProKarma 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the stock option agreement applicable to such Rollover Option will be references to the Company, and (4) the Rollover Option will be subject to the reasonable and customary policies of the Company applicable to other optionholders under the Company’s equity incentive plan or similarly situated employees holding securities of the Company, including any blackout periods and other conditions.

A copy of the Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

* Schedules have been omitted pursuant to Item 601(b)(2) of Regulation S-K.
