Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 7, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among IFS Americas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), IFS Amber, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Merger Sub”), and Astea International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Parent has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for cash. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (other than (i) shares held in treasury by the Company, (ii) shares held by the Parent, the Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or by any Subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) shares held by stockholders who properly exercise and perfect appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) will thereupon be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $12.00 per share (the “Merger Consideration”).

Voting Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Parent entered into a voting agreement dated as of October 7, 2019 (the “Voting Agreement”), with Zack Bergreen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Principal Stockholder”), and ANKA Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership in which the Principal Stockholder is the sole general partner (the “Partnership”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Voting Agreement, the Principal Stockholder has agreed to vote the shares over which he has sole or shared voting power in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Principal Stockholder agreed to convert all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company that he holds (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) to Common Stock prior to the record date for the meeting of the Company’s stockholders to vote on the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

The shares covered by the Voting Agreement include 1,169,040 shares of the Common Stock held by the Principal Stockholder, 1,623,894 shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Principal Stockholder and 58,103 shares of the Common Stock held by the Partnership.
