The description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (including, without limitation, the Merger) in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2019 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Acquiring Parties have informed the Company that they intend to fund the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration with cash on hand. The Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements (i) have been made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement, (ii) in the case of the Company, have been qualified by certain matters disclosed in documents furnished or filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), (iii) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (iv) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement and (v) have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as fact. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement have been included only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the parties or their respective businesses. Investors are not third party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition, 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 Company’s public disclosures. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the parties that is or will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, other documents that the Company furnishes or files with the SEC.
