On April 14, 2025, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Paycor (the “Merger”), with Paycor continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Paychex, as previously disclosed in Paychex’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 14, 2025 (the “Original 8-K”).

Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise amend, modify, or update the disclosures contained in the Original 8-K.
