`Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
`
`On May 23, 2016, Finjan, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finjan Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “Finjan” or the “Company”),
`announced that Finjan and Proofpoint, Inc. (“Proofpoint”) had agreed to a license to the Finjan global patent portfolio, in principle. The
`binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) was entered into on May 20, 2016, but the case dismissal between Finjan and Proofpoint is pending
`a final definitive licensing and settlement agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”). The terms of the Term Sheet provide for Finjan to
`dismiss the suit against Proofpoint, Inc. and Armorize Technologies with prejudice upon execution of the Definitive Agreement with full
`releases by the parties. Further the terms of the Term Sheet provide that Proofpoint will pay Finjan $10.9 million cash, in license fees, as
`follows: (A) $4.3 million within three (3) business days of execution of the Definitive Agreement, (B) $3.3 million on or before January 4,
`2017, and (C) $3.3 million on or before January 3, 2018.
`
`The foregoing description of the terms of the Term Sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Definitive
`Agreement which the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission following its execution. Finjan may also seek
`to obtain confidential treatment of certain terms and provisions of the Definitive Agreement in connection with the filing of such
`agreement, in accordance with the procedures of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
`
`A copy of the press release issued by the Company on May 23, 2016 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein
`by reference. The information in the press release shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
`1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Company specifically states that
`the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of
`1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
`
`Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
`
`This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect
`our current view of future events and financial performance. Words such as “expect” and similar expressions identify forward-looking
`statements, which include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the potential success of pending litigation. Forward-looking
`statements are based only on the Company’s current assumptions and views of future events and financial performance. They are subject to
`known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, which may cause the Company’s actual
`results to be materially different from planned or expected results. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the terms of
`a definitive settlement agreement with Proofpoint, Inc. There can be no assurances that the Company will achieve expected results, and
`actual results may be materially less than expectations. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is
`impossible to predict the degree to which any such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from predicted results. Please refer
`to the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and subsequent filings for a further discussion of risks and uncertainties. Investors should take
`such risks into account and should not rely on forward-looking statements when making investment decisions. We intend the forward-
`looking statements in this Report to speak only as of the date of this Report and do not undertake to update these forward-looking
`statements as more information becomes available

`Finjan and Proofpoint Agree to Settle Patent Dispute
`Case Dismissal Pending Definitive License and Settlement Agreement
`
`EAST PALO ALTO, CA – 05/23/16 -- Finjan Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNJN), a cybersecurity company, announced
`that on May 20, 2016, its subsidiary Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”) and Proofpoint, Inc. agreed to a license to the Finjan global
`patent portfolio. While a settlement has been agreed to, the case dismissal is pending a final definitive licensing and
`settlement agreement. The terms of the agreement are expected to be confidential, subject to regulatory requirements.
`
`“We consider the settlement of our patent infringement suit with Proofpoint to be a timely decision given the quickly
`approaching trial in June,” said Phil Hartstein, Finjan’s President and CEO. “This underscores Finjan’s commitment to
`our Licensing Best Practices where we focus on the merits of our claims while continuing to explore licensing
`opportunities with all defendants and prospective licensees. It’s a success when both parties can end a dispute with a
`handshake.”
`
`Finjan has pending infringement lawsuits against FireEye, Inc., Sophos, Inc., Symantec Corp., Palo Alto Networks., and
`Blue Coat Systems, Inc. relating to, collectively, more than 20 patents in the Finjan portfolio. The court dockets for the
`foregoing cases are publicly available on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER)
`website, www.pacer.gov, which is operated by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
