The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. Except for its status as a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto with respect to the transactions described herein, the Merger Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual, business or operations information about the Company.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties to the Agreement made to and solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in the confidential disclosure schedules that the Company delivered in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of the date of the Merger Agreement and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. The information concerning the subject matter of such 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Offer and the Merger are subject to certain other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the Minimum Condition, the continued accuracy of the representations of the Company and the absence of any material breach of the Company’s covenants or material adverse effect with respect to the Company.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

Tender and Support Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub and Parent entered into a tender and support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with certain key stockholders of the Company (consisting of all directors and executive officers of the Company and their affiliates) (together, the “Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Stockholders have agreed to tender all Company Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholders in the Offer and otherwise support the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Support Agreement terminates upon certain events, including any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. In such case, any shares tendered by the Stockholders would be returned to the Stockholders.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The tender offer for the outstanding shares of Company common stock described in this Current Report on Form 8-K has not yet commenced. This Current Report on Form 8-K is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of the Company’s common stock, nor is it a substitute for any tender offer materials that Parent, Merger Sub or the Company will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A solicitation and offer to buy shares of the Company common stock will be made only pursuant to an offer to purchase and related materials that Merger Sub intends to file with the SEC. At the time the tender offer is commenced, Parent will cause Merger Sub to file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the SEC, and the Company will file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the tender offer. COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS AND OTHER INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT (INCLUDING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE, A RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND OTHER TENDER OFFER DOCUMENTS) AND THE RELATED SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 14D-9 THAT WILL BE FILED BY THE COMPANY WITH THE SEC, AS EACH MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BEFORE THEY MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE TENDER OFFER BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES THERETO THAT SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY. Both the tender offer statement and the solicitation/recommendation statement will be made available at no charge on the SEC’s website: www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and certain other tender offer documents (once they become available) will be mailed to the Company’s stockholders free of charge and additional copies may be obtained free of charge on the Company’s website at www.servotronics.com. In addition to the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and certain other documents, as well as the solicitation/recommendation statement, the Company files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. The Company’s filings with the SEC are available to the public at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Investors and security holders may also obtain free copies of the documents filed with the SEC by the Company at www.servotronics.com.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this release, the words "project," "believe," "plan," "anticipate," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements in this release include, without limitation, statements regarding the potential benefits of the proposed transaction, the ability of the parties to complete the proposed transaction and the expected timing of completion of the proposed transaction. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. In particular, some of the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) uncertainties as to the timing of the tender offer; (ii) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; (iii) the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for Servotronics will be made; (iv) uncertainty surrounding how many of Servotronics’ stockholders will tender their shares in the tender offer; (v) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the tender offer may not be satisfied or waived; (vi) the possibility of business disruptions due to transaction-related uncertainty; (vii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (viii) the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed transaction may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; and (ix) other factors as set forth from time to time in Servotronics’ filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as the tender offer statement, solicitation/recommendation statement and other tender offer documents that will be filed by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, as applicable, which are or will be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating these forward-looking statements. Readers should also carefully review the risk factors described in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC.
