Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The disclosure set forth in Item 3 above and Items 5 and 6 below is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 4.

Merger Agreement

On October 11, 2023, Parent, Purchaser and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding Shares at a price of $1.90 per share, net to the seller in cash (as may be adjusted in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the “Offer Price”), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes. The Merger Agreement provides that the Offer will remain open for 20 business days from the commencement of the Offer, subject to possible extension as provided in the Merger Agreement. The Offer is not subject to any financing condition.

Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, following the consummation of the Offer, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) any Shares held immediately prior to the Effective Time by Parent or Purchaser will be cancelled and retired, and (ii) each other Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by any shareholders of the Company who are entitled to and have validly exercised dissenter’s rights under Washington law) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price. The purpose of the Offer and the Merger is for Parent, and thus indirectly Kontron, to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, the Company.

The closing of the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things: (i) there having been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Shares that, considered together with any Shares beneficially owned by Parent and its affiliates, represent at least one more Share than 66-⅔% of the sum of (x) the total number of Shares outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Offer, plus (y) the total number of Shares the Company is required to issue upon conversion, settlement, exchange or exercise of all securities for which the holder has, at the time of the expiration of the Offer, elected to convert, settle, exchange or exercise (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the receipt of clearance, approval or consent under any applicable antitrust or merger control law, including any applicable foreign merger control or foreign direct investment law. The consummation of the Offer is also subject to the satisfaction of other customary conditions.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, if required pursuant to applicable law, approval by the Company’s shareholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, if the Minimum Condition has been met, the Merger will be completed without a meeting of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act.

Page 6 of 14

The Merger Agreement contains provisions regarding the treatment of the Company’s equity-based awards outstanding as of the Effective Time, including vested and unvested stock options, vested and unvested restricted stock units, and vested performance-vesting restricted stock units.

The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, Parent and Purchaser. Such covenants include the Company’s obligation, subject to specified exceptions, to conduct its operations in all material respects in the ordinary course of business during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of (i) the closing of the Merger and (ii) the date of the valid termination of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also includes customary restrictions on the solicitation by the Company or its representatives of proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions, subject to customary exceptions.

The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for each of the Company and Parent. Upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances set forth therein, a termination fee of $1,250,000 may be required to be paid by either the Company or Parent.

At the Effective Time and pursuant to the Merger Agreement: (i) the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated in their entirety as set forth in Annex II to the Merger Agreement; (ii) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated to conform to the bylaws of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that references to the name of Purchaser shall be replaced by references to the name of the Surviving Corporation; and (iii) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the respective individuals who served as the directors and officers of Purchaser as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, there will be no public market for the Shares, and registration of the Shares as a class under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be terminated.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been filed as an exhibit hereto to provide information to investors regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Parent or Purchaser, their respective businesses, or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the period prior to the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. None of the Company’s shareholders or any other third parties should rely on the representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Merger Agreement as characterizations of any actual state of facts. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that are the product of negotiations among the parties thereto and that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other as of specified dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties and are also qualified in important part by confidential disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (i) may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, (ii) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from what an investor may view as material and (iii) may have been made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or as of another date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement, and information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the public disclosures of the Company or Parent and Purchaser, if at all.

Tender and Support Agreements

On October 11, 2023, as a condition to Parent’s and Purchaser’s entry into the Merger Agreement and as an inducement for Parent and Purchaser to consummate the Offer and the Merger, certain shareholders of the Company, including all of the Company’s directors and executive officers (each, a “Shareholder”), entered into respective Tender and Support Agreements, on substantially identical terms, with Parent and Purchaser (the “Support Agreements”). The purpose of the Support Agreements is to facilitate the consummation of the Offer and the Merger. As of October 11, 2023, an aggregate of 3,439,388 Shares, representing approximately 17.3% of the Shares outstanding, are subject to the Support Agreements.

Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of each Support Agreement, the Shareholder signatory thereto has agreed, among other things: (i) not to transfer any of his, her or its Shares other than in accordance with the Support Agreement; (ii) to tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer all Shares owned by him, her or it as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 10 business days) after the commencement of the Offer, and not to exercise any appraisal or dissenters’ rights in respect of any such Shares in connection with the Merger; (iii) to vote his, her or its Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and in favor of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, in the event a vote of the shareholders of the Company is required for such purpose; and (iv) to vote his, her or its Shares against any proposal made in opposition to, in competition with, or that would prevent the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to each Support Agreement, the Shareholder signatory thereto has granted Parent an irrevocable proxy granting Parent the right to vote the Shares held by such Shareholder in the manner described above.

Each Support Agreement will terminate automatically with respect to the Shareholder signatory thereto upon the first to occur of: (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; (b) the Effective Time; (c) the entry into, without the prior written consent of such Shareholder, of any amendment, waiver or modification to the Merger Agreement, or any waiver of the Company’s rights under the Merger Agreement, in each case, that results in (i) a decrease or a change in the form of the Offer Price, (ii) an extension of the end date of the Offer (other than in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), or (iii) the imposition of conditions on the Offer other than those set forth in the Merger Agreement; (d) the mutual written consent of Parent and such Shareholder; (e) the termination of the Support Agreements by written notice from Parent to the Shareholders; or (f) the making by the Company’s board of directors of a “Company Adverse Change Recommendation” for a “Superior Offer” or for an “Intervening Event,” in each case as defined in the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Support Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to or could result in any of the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Offer referred to in this Schedule 13D has not yet commenced. The description of the Offer contained in this Schedule 13D is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities, nor is it a substitute for the tender offer materials that Parent and the Company will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The solicitation and offer to buy the common stock of the Company will only be made pursuant to an offer to purchase and related tender offer materials. At the time the Offer is commenced, Parent will file with the SEC a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and thereafter the Company will file with the SEC a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9. THE SCHEDULE TO AND THE MATERIALS FILED THEREWITH AS EXHIBITS (INCLUDING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE, A RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CERTAIN OTHER OFFER DOCUMENTS) AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 14D-9 WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. ANY HOLDERS OF SHARES ARE URGED TO READ THESE DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT HOLDERS SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING TENDERING THEIR SHARES. The offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and the solicitation/recommendation statement will be made available for free at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Free copies of the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and certain other offering documents will be made available by Parent and when available may be obtained by directing a request to the information agent for the Offer that will be named in the Schedule TO and related offer documents. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by the Company will be available free of charge on the Company’s website at www.bsquare.com or by contacting the Company’s Investor Relations Department at 425-519-5900.

The disclosure set forth in Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

(a), (b) For purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as a result of entering into the Support Agreements, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to possess shared power to vote or to direct the voting of the aggregate 3,439,388 Shares subject to the Support Agreements. Accordingly, for purposes of Rule 13d-3, each Reporting Person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 3,439,388 Shares. Based on 19,870,527 Shares outstanding as of October 6, 2023, as represented by the Company in the Merger Agreement, each Reporting Person therefore may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 17.3% of the outstanding Shares. The Reporting Persons hereby disclaim beneficial ownership of any such Shares.

Except as set forth in this Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named in Annex A attached hereto, beneficially owns any Shares.

(c) There have been no transactions in the Shares effected by any of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named in Annex A attached hereto, during the last 60 days.

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, based on representations made by the Shareholders in the Support Agreements, no person other than the Shareholders has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares reported by the Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D.
