The Merger Agreement further provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, promptly (and in any event no later than two business days) following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the separate existence of Merger Sub ceasing and the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Following completion of the Offer, the Merger will be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), with no stockholder vote required to consummate the Merger.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding Share (other than Shares owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Merger Sub, Shares held by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Shares owned by a holder who has properly demanded appraisal) will automatically be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes.

The Offer is subject to customary conditions, including, among others: (i) that, prior to the Expiration Time, there having been validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn that number of Shares which, together with the number of Shares then owned by Merger Sub or its affiliates (if any), will have, immediately after giving effect to the acceptance of payment for Shares in the Offer, equaled at least one vote more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding Shares; (ii) the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties as set forth in the Merger Agreement; (iii) the Company’s performance of its covenants, obligations and conditions under the Merger Agreement in all material respects prior to the Expiration Time; (iv) since the date of the Merger Agreement, the absence of a Company Material Adverse Effect that is continuing; (v) any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, applicable to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) having expired or been terminated (“HSR Clearance”); and (vi) the absence of (1) any injunction, order or other judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or action by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or other restraint preventing the consummation of the Offer or the Merger, or (2) any statute, rule or regulation enacted or enforced, that would prohibit, make illegal or enjoin the consummation of the Offer or the Merger. The consummation of the Offer and Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

The Merger is subject to the following customary closing conditions: (i) HSR Clearance and the passage of any date before which Parent, Merger Sub or the Company have committed in writing to any Governmental Authority not to close the Transactions; (ii) the absence of any injunction, order or other judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or action by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or other restraint preventing the consummation of the Merger or any statute, rule or regulation enacted or enforced, that would prohibit, make illegal or enjoin the consummation of the Merger; and (iii) Merger Sub having irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this type, including, among other things, a covenant of the Company not to solicit alternative transactions or to provide information or enter into discussions in connection with alternative transactions, subject to certain exceptions with respect to certain unsolicited proposals to allow the Company’s board of directors to exercise its fiduciary duties under applicable laws. If the Merger is consummated, the Class B Shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Parent has obtained an equity financing commitment from CD&R funds for the Transactions, the proceeds of which will be used by Parent to pay the Merger Consideration and all related fees and expenses required to be paid at the closing of the Merger pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for the Company and Parent, and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company or Parent under specified conditions, the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $13,361,743.

The Company’s board of directors has unanimously (i) determined the Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (iii) resolved that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions shall be governed by and effected under Section 251(h) and other relevant provisions of the DGCL and (iv) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their Shares to Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any financial or other factual information about the Company, Parent or Merger Sub. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement (i) were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, (ii) were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, (iii) may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement rather than establishing those matters as facts and (iv) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company that has been, is or will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K, proxy statements and other documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Tender and Support Agreements

On January 4, 2022, in connection with the Merger Agreement, (i) entities affiliated with Maverick Capital Ltd. and (ii) entities affiliated with Venrock (collectively, the “Supporting Stockholders”), in each case in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company and who, collectively, beneficially own approximately 18.1% of the outstanding Shares as of the date thereof, entered into a Tender and Support Agreement (collectively, the “Tender and Support Agreements”) with Parent and Merger Sub. The Tender and Support Agreements provide, among other things, that each of the Supporting Stockholders will tender all of the Shares held by it in the Offer.

The form of Tender and Support Agreement has been included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K in order to provide information regarding their terms. They are not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the applicable Supporting Stockholder or the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in any public reports filed with the SEC by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub.

The foregoing descriptions of each of the Tender and Support Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each such agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
