Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 28, 2026, Autodesk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Autodesk” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Matterhorn Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Autodesk (“Merger Sub”), MaintainX Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MaintainX”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the securityholders’ agent.

Upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Autodesk will acquire MaintainX for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.575 billion, subject to certain customary adjustments, through the merger of Merger Sub with and into MaintainX (the “Merger”), with MaintainX continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Autodesk (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (“Effective Time”), each share of capital stock of MaintainX issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares (i) held in treasury or by Autodesk, Merger Sub, MaintainX or any of their respective subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) whose holders have perfected their appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted automatically into the right to receive the applicable consideration calculated as set forth in the Merger Agreement, without interest, and each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of the Surviving Corporation. In addition, each option to purchase shares of common stock of MaintainX, other than an underwater option, that is vested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive, for each share of MaintainX common stock subject to such option, the applicable consideration calculated as set forth in the Merger Agreement (net of the exercise price of such option). Each option to purchase shares of common stock of MaintainX (or portion thereof) that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each underwater option (whether or not vested), will, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled, terminated and extinguished, and will not be assumed by the Company, and no consideration will be paid with respect thereto. A portion of the aggregate consideration will be held in escrow for purchase price adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement. A portion of the consideration to certain key executives of MaintainX will be deposited into an escrow account at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the holdback agreement between such key executive and Autodesk. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the closing, Autodesk will grant awards of restricted stock units having an aggregate grant date value of $150 million to MaintainX’s continuing employees.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants by the parties and indemnification rights in favor of Autodesk that are customary for a transaction of this nature. A portion of the aggregate consideration will be held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of the MaintainX securityholders. Autodesk has obtained customary representation and warranty insurance. The parties have agreed that the earliest date on which the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated is August 3, 2026.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

The Merger Agreement is not subject to financing conditions. Autodesk intends to finance the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement through a combination of cash on hand and debt financing, which debt financing is expected to include borrowings under a new 364-day term loan facility and may include borrowings under Autodesk’s revolving credit facility. The commitments under such revolving credit facility are expected to be increased in connection with the Merger Agreement transactions. Autodesk may seek to replace or refinance such financing with senior unsecured notes, bank financing and/or commercial paper.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary termination rights for a transaction of this type, including, among other things, the right of either party to terminate (subject to certain conditions) the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not occurred on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on November 28, 2026 (“End Date”), subject to two automatic extensions of three months each in the event regulatory approval has not been received at either the End Date or the extended end date.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or MaintainX. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by certain of the parties to the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were the product of negotiations among the parties and made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on such representations, warranties or covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, MaintainX or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

In addition, on May 28, 2026, Autodesk posted an investor presentation with respect to entry into the Merger Agreement on its investors.autodesk.com website.
