As of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company became indirectly beneficially wholly owned by affiliates of TPG Capital (the “TPG Investors”) and certain management shareholders of the Company.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the Company repaid in full and terminated that certain Credit Agreement, dated December 17, 2015, by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Securities, as Lead Arranger and Lead Bookrunner, and Compass Bank, as Syndication Agent, as amended and supplemented (the “Credit Facility”). The Company repaid and terminated the Credit Facility in connection with the completion of the Merger.

The material terms of the Credit Facility are described in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 8, 2017 under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources‑Long-term Debt.” Such description is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and in Items 3.03, 5.01 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) (other than any shares owned by holders properly exercising appraisal rights under Florida law (“Dissenting Shares”) and certain shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company’s founders and certain management shareholders (the “Rollover Investors”)) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $49.25 in cash, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”).

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Rollover Investors contributed certain shares of their Company Common Stock, at a valuation equal to or less than $49.25 per share, in exchange for new equity securities of Parent.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Original Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 23, 2017, and Amendment No. 1 to Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 4, 2017, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Items 2.01 and 3.03 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

On the Closing Date, the Company notified the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) of the completion of the Merger, and requested that trading in the Company Common Stock be suspended and that the Company Common Stock be withdrawn from listing on NASDAQ effective as of the close of trading on

the Closing Date. The Company also requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a delisting application on Form 25 to delist the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ and deregister the Company Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company Common Stock was delisted effective as of the close of trading on the Closing Date.

The Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 to terminate or suspend its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act at the time such filing is permitted under SEC rules.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Items 2.01 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the Merger, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and certain excluded shares contributed to Parent by the Rollover Investors) was automatically canceled and ceased to exist, and was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Company Stock Option”), to the extent outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and in consideration for such cancellation, the holder thereof is entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (y) the Merger Consideration over (z) the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, less any applicable withholding taxes. Each Company Stock Option with a per share exercise price that was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration was cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time with no consideration payable to the holder thereof.

Each share of Company Common Stock issued under the Company’s stock plans (“Company Restricted Stock”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and will be treated as an outstanding share of Company Common Stock, and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration with respect thereto, less any applicable withholding.

Accordingly, as of the Effective Time, holders of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock no longer have any rights with respect to such securities, other than their right to receive the Merger Consideration or, with respect to shareholders holding Dissenting Shares, rights to appraisal under applicable Florida law.
