Pursuant to the merger agreement, the shareholders of Enzymotec (other than Enzymotec, Frutarom or their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries) will be entitled to receive $11.90 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each ordinary share of Enzymotec owned immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.
