Weatherford to acquire NCS Multistage (NCSM) for stock or mixed cash/stock consideration

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Weatherford International plc. Under the agreement, NCS will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Weatherford and NCS stockholders may elect cash/stock options or receive stock based on the stated exchange ratios. The transaction is subject to customary conditions, regulatory approvals and an SEC registration on Form S-4; holders representing more than 50% of outstanding common stock delivered written consent, so no further NCS stockholder vote is required.

Insights

Mergers & Acquisitions Counsel

Deal terms and closing conditions are customary; regulatory clearance and Form S-4 effectiveness are gating items.

The agreement sets express exchange ratios (e.g., 0.5537 Parent shares per NCS share for full share elections) and includes standard covenants, termination rights and an Outside Date of May 31, 2027. Closing is conditioned on HSR clearance, other regulatory approvals and the Form S-4 being declared effective.

Watch for regulatory clearance timelines, the Form S-4 process and any litigated challenges that could affect closing; those items will be reflected in subsequent public filings.

Strategic Transactions Analyst

Consideration mixes cash and Parent ordinary shares with electoral mechanics and a maximum cash election cap.

The merger permits stockholders to elect (i) Share Consideration (0.5537 Parent Ordinary Shares per NCS share) or (ii) Mixed Consideration (cash equal to 0.1371 Parent shares’ value plus 0.2392 Parent shares), subject to a Maximum Cash Election Amount formula. Default election yields full Share Consideration.

Key near-term items: stockholder elections, calculation of the Maximum Cash Election Amount and Parent’s determination of the Parent Closing Price for the Closing Date; subsequent filings will disclose election results and Form S-4 details.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 31, 2026, NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NCS”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among NCS, Weatherford International plc, an Irish public limited company (“Weatherford”), and Trinity Bell Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Weatherford (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into NCS (the “Merger”), with NCS surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Weatherford. Each of the board of directors of Weatherford and the board of directors of NCS (the “NCS Board”) has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement. The Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2026.

Each holder of common stock of NCS, par value $0.01 per share (the “NCS Common Stock”), excluding any excluded shares, will have the right to elect to receive from Weatherford at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) for each share of NCS Common Stock held: (a) 0.5537 ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share of Weatherford (the “Ordinary Shares”), which is not subject to any cap or proration (the “Share Consideration” and such exchange ratio, the “Share Consideration Exchange Ratio”) or (b) (1) cash in an amount equivalent to 0.1371 Ordinary Shares as of the Effective Time (subject to a maximum cash election amount), and (2) 0.2392 Ordinary Shares (collectively, the “Mixed Consideration” and, together with the Share Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, the NCS Common Stock that is held by holders that do not timely make an election will convert into the right to receive the Share Consideration.

At the Effective Time, (i) (a) each NCS restricted stock unit (“NCS RSU”) and NCS equivalent stock unit (“NCS ESU”) (other than each NCS RSU granted to a non-employee director of NCS (“NCS DSU”)) that is outstanding immediately prior to closing, whether or not vested, will be assumed by Weatherford (the “Assumed RSUs”), (b) each Assumed RSU will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, including vesting and forfeiture restrictions, provided that with respect to each NCS ESU, the Max Value Cap (as defined in the applicable award agreement) will cease to apply to such NCS ESU and (c) each Assumed RSU will automatically be converted into an award covering a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of NCS Common Stock subject to the Assumed RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share; (ii) (a) each NCS option (“NCS Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to closing and has a per share exercise price less than the value of the Share Consideration will be assumed by Weatherford (the “Assumed Options”), and each Assumed Option will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, including vesting and forfeiture restrictions, and will automatically be converted into an option to acquire a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of NCS Common Stock underlying such NCS Option multiplied by the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number, with an adjusted exercise price, and (b) each NCS Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the value of the Share Consideration will, at the Effective Time, be cancelled without consideration and be of no further force and effect; and (iii) (a) each NCS performance stock unit (“NCS PSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to closing, whether or not vested, will be assumed by Weatherford (the “Assumed PSUs”), (b) each Assumed PSU will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, including vesting and forfeiture restrictions, except that the performance goals will be deemed satisfied at the greater of target and actual level of achievement as of the date of the Merger Agreement, as determined by the NCS Board, and (c) each Assumed PSU will automatically be converted into an award covering a number of Ordinary Shares based on the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio. NCS DSUs will automatically vest and settle in shares of NCS Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: (i) obtaining a written consent from Consenting Stockholders to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, which consent has been obtained as outlined below; (ii) no law, injunction, judgment, order or decree exists that would prohibit the Merger; (iii) the expiration or termination of review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iv) the receipt of certain other material regulatory consents and approvals; (v) a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed in connection with the Merger has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (vi) accuracy of representations and warranties of the respective parties which are generally subject to customary materiality qualifiers; (vii) performance of obligations and compliance with covenants in the Merger Agreement in all material respects; (viii) delivery by an executive officer of each

party of a customary officer’s certificate; (ix) no Material Adverse Effect has occurred with respect to either party; (x) receipt by NCS of a certain closing tax opinion; and (xi) NCS taking certain actions with respect to pending Canadian tax matters.

On May 31, 2026, holders of more than 50% of the outstanding NCS Common Stock executed and delivered a written consent adopting and approving the Merger Agreement, which consent (the “NCS Stockholder Consent”) became effective immediately following the execution of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the NCS Stockholder Consent, no further approval by the stockholders of NCS is required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including covenants and agreements relating to (i) the conduct of each of NCS’s and Weatherford’s business between the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing date of the Merger and (ii) the efforts of the parties to cause the Merger to be completed, including actions which may be necessary to obtain the required regulatory consents and approvals for the transaction.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for NCS and Weatherford, including, among others, (i) the right of either party to terminate (a) with mutual written consent, (b) if the Merger has not been completed by May 31, 2027 (the “Outside Date”), and (c) if a final, nonappealable order prevents the consummation of the Merger; (ii) NCS may terminate if (a) NCS enters into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal provided NCS has complied with certain no-shop obligations, (b) Weatherford has breached any representation, warranty or covenant such that a condition to closing cannot be satisfied, and the breach cannot be cured (or such breach remains uncured for 30 days) after the NCS’s written notice of such breach, and (c) a novation contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not effective by the day following the date on which the closing of Weatherford’s pending redomestication occurs, assuming closing (the “Novation”); and (iii) Weatherford may terminate if NCS has breached any representation, warranty or covenant such that a condition to closing cannot be satisfied, and the breach cannot be cured (or such breach remains uncured for 30 days) after Weatherford’s written notice of such breach.

The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, (i) Weatherford will be obligated to pay a termination fee of $9,700,000 if (a) the Merger Agreement is terminated by NCS pursuant to a failure to timely effect the Novation or (b) the Merger Agreement is terminated by NCS due to Weatherford’s breach of certain specified conditions of the merger, and NCS elects to receive the termination fee and (ii) NCS will be obligated to pay a termination fee of $5,500,000 if NCS terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a superior proposal or if Weatherford terminates the Merger Agreement after the NCS Board has effected a change of its recommendation.

The directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation.

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

It is not intended to provide any other factual information about NCS, Weatherford or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of NCS, Weatherford or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

Forward Looking Statements

This communication includes statements, which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, and any related oral statements, can be identified by the use of terms such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “budget,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “guidance,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the expected timing and completion of the proposed transaction between Weatherford and NCS, anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, and plans and expectations for the new combined company after the completion of the proposed transaction. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs of Weatherford’s and NCS’s management and are subject to significant risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are only estimates and may

differ materially from actual future events or results, based on factors including but not limited to the ability to complete the proposed transaction on the timeframe or on the terms currently anticipated or at all, including due to a failure to obtain requisite regulatory approvals; risks related to difficulties, inabilities or delays in integrating the parties’ businesses; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including estimated synergies; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of either or both parties to terminate the Merger Agreement; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction on the parties’ stock price and on their respective business, contractual and operational relationships; risks related to business disruptions from the proposed transaction that may harm the business or current plans and operations of either or both parties, including diversion of management time from ongoing business operations; the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of either or both parties to hire and retain key personnel; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Weatherford or NCS, or their respective directors; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events, or unforeseen or unknown liabilities; as well as the factors and risks described in Weatherford’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and NCS’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, in each case, in subsequent filings with the SEC. Other unpredictable factors not discussed in this communication could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any of Weatherford’s or NCS’s forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Weatherford and NCS undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company by operation of the laws of the State of Delaware. Upon the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Central time, on the second Business Day following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of those conditions), at the offices of Baker Botts L.L.P., 910 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company; provided, that the Closing may occur remotely via electronic exchange of required Closing documentation in lieu of an in-person Closing, and the Parties shall cooperate in connection therewith. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the Closing shall not occur on any date that falls on, or between, the date(s) of the Irish High Court hearing to sanction Rewind and the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by Rewind (inclusive of both dates) (such period, the “Tolling Period”). In the event that the Closing would otherwise be required to occur during the Tolling Period and the Parties have otherwise satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing), the Outside Date shall be automatically

2

extended on a day-for-day basis for each day during the Tolling Period on which the Closing is so delayed, such that the Outside Date shall be extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days elapsed during the Tolling Period. For purposes of clarity, no Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) by reason of the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the Outside Date if such failure is solely attributable to the operation of this provision during the Tolling Period, provided that the Parties have otherwise satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) as of the commencement of the Tolling Period.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the Parties shall file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State or at such later time as Parent and the Company shall agree in writing and shall specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the relevant provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation by operation of law, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation by operation of law.

Section 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Company Charter shall be amended and restated so that it reads in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit C hereto, and as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by applicable Law.

(b) At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company and Merger Sub, the Company Bylaws shall be amended and restated so that they read in their entirety the same as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references therein to Merger Sub shall be automatically amended and shall become references to the Surviving Corporation, and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms and the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by applicable Law.

Section 1.6 Directors. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

Section 1.7 Officers. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and operation of Delaware law and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Subject to Section 2.3(f), each share (such shares, collectively, the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Excluded Shares) (such shares, the “Eligible Shares”) shall thereupon automatically be cancelled and converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the following consideration from Parent (such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”):

(i) for each Share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive only share consideration has been made and not validly revoked pursuant to Section 2.5 (the “Share Election Stock”), that number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio (the “Share Consideration”). As used in this Agreement, “Share Consideration Exchange Ratio” means 0.5537;

(ii) for each Share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive mixed consideration has been made and not validly revoked pursuant to Section 2.5 (the “Mixed Election Stock”), (A) subject to the Maximum Cash Election Amount and Section 2.5(e), the Cash Consideration and (B) that number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio (the “Mixed Share Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Mixed Consideration”). As used in this Agreement:

(A) “Maximum Cash Election Amount” means an amount equal to the lesser of (I) the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Mixed Election Stock, multiplied by (y) the quotient of (1) 0.199, divided by (2) the quotient of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Mixed Election Stock, divided by (B) the number of Eligible Shares, multiplied by (z) the sum of (1) the Cash Consideration, plus (2) the Mixed Share Consideration Value, and (II) the maximum amount of cash that may be delivered in the Merger without violating Section 368(a)(2)(E)(ii) of the Code (as reasonably determined by Tax Counsel in consultation with Parent).

(B) “Cash Consideration” means cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Cash Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (y) the Parent Closing Price.

(C) “Cash Exchange Ratio” means 0.1371.

(D) “Mixed Share Consideration Value” means the product of (x) the Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (y) the Parent Closing Price.

4

(E) “Parent Closing Price” means the closing price per share of Parent Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select on the last complete trading day prior to the Closing Date.

(F) “Elected Cash Consideration” means the aggregate number of shares of Mixed Election Stock multiplied by the Cash Consideration.

(G) “Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio” means 0.2392.

(iii) for each Share of Company Common Stock with respect to which no election to receive Share Consideration or Mixed Consideration has been made (the “Default Stock”), the Share Consideration.

(b) At the Effective Time, all Eligible Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f), in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with Section 2.3, without interest.

(c) Each Share held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled in consideration for the issuance of one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. The shares of the Surviving Corporation so issued shall constitute the only outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(e) If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Parent Ordinary Shares or capital stock of the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend with a record date during such period, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration, the Share Consideration, the Cash Consideration, the Mixed Share Consideration, the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Cash Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, to the extent applicable, shall be equitably adjusted so as to provide Parent and the holders of Eligible Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and thereafter, all references in this Agreement to the Merger Consideration, the Share Consideration, the Cash Consideration, the Mixed Share Consideration, the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Cash Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, to the extent applicable, shall be references to the Merger Consideration, the Share Consideration, the Cash Consideration, the Mixed Share Consideration, the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Cash Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, to the extent applicable, as so adjusted; provided, that (x) nothing in this Section 2.1(e) shall be construed to permit or authorize Parent or the Company to take any action with respect

5

to its securities that it is not otherwise permitted or authorized to undertake pursuant to this Agreement, (y) neither cash dividends nor the issuance of shares by Parent (including as equity compensation) shall result in any adjustment to Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio or the Cash Exchange Ratio or (z) no further adjustment shall be made to the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, the Mixed Share Consideration Exchange Ratio or the Cash Exchange Ratio as a result of Rewind and the issuance of Parent Ordinary Shares in connection with Rewind.

Section 2.2 Treatment of Equity-Based Awards.

(a) At the Effective Time, and by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, each Company RSU and Company ESU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company DSUs), whether or not vested, will be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed RSUs”). Each Assumed RSU will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such Assumed RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting and forfeiture restrictions; provided that (i) with respect to each Company ESU, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Max Value Cap (as defined in the applicable award agreement for such Company ESU) shall cease to apply to such Company ESU; and (ii) each Assumed RSU shall automatically be converted into an award covering a number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Assumed RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Company DSU shall automatically vest and settle in shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) At the Effective Time, and by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has a per share exercise price less than the Merger Consideration will, at the Effective Time, be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed Options”). Each Assumed Option will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting and forfeiture restrictions, provided that such Assumed Option shall automatically be converted into an option to acquire a number of Parent Ordinary Shares that is equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number, and with an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the Company Option, by (B) the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of Parent Ordinary Shares covered by such Assumed Option will be determined in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will, at the Effective Time, be cancelled without consideration and will be of no further force and effect.

(c) At the Effective Time, and by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, will be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed PSUs”). Each Assumed PSU will continue to have, and be

6

subject to, the same terms and conditions of such Assumed PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting and forfeiture restrictions; provided that (i) any performance goal will be deemed satisfied at the greater of (A) target and (B) based on the actual level of achievement of such performance goal as of the date of this Agreement, as determined by the Company Board or an applicable committee thereof on or prior to the date of this Agreement and following prior consultation with Parent (for clarity, such Assumed PSU thereafter will vest based solely on continued service through the last day of the applicable performance period, subject to accelerated vesting to the extent provided by the terms and conditions of such Assumed PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time); (ii) each Assumed PSU shall automatically be converted into an award covering a number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Assumed PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (with performance determined in accordance with clause (i)), multiplied by (B) the Share Consideration Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share; and (iii) the Parent Ordinary Shares subject to any Assumed PSU that was vested prior to, or that vests at, the Effective Time will be delivered to the holder thereof promptly (and in any event, within five Business Days) following the Effective Time.

(d) Parent shall take all actions necessary to reserve for issuance a number of Parent Ordinary Shares at least equal to the number of Parent Ordinary Shares that will be subject to the Assumed RSUs, Assumed Options and Assumed PSUs as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.2. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form, or if Form S-8 is not available, other appropriate forms) with respect to the Parent Ordinary Shares subject to such Assumed RSUs, Assumed Options and Assumed PSUs and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Assumed RSUs, Assumed Options and Assumed PSUs remain outstanding and such Parent Ordinary Shares are required to be registered.

Section 2.3 Exchange.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement in form reasonably acceptable to the Company with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as nominee and agent for the holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger and to receive the Merger Consideration to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Article II. Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as required, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, the number of Parent Ordinary Shares to be delivered as Share Consideration and Mixed Share Consideration in respect of Eligible Shares cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(a). All Parent Ordinary Shares made available to the Exchange Agent to be delivered as Share Consideration and Mixed Share Consideration shall be allotted and issued directly to, or for the benefit of, the holders of Eligible Shares in certificated or book-entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time, (including, as applicable, the nominee of The Depository Trust Company). Parent shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Exchange Fund includes at all times cash sufficient to satisfy Parent’s obligations to make the payments pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) and with respect to any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f). All Parent Ordinary Shares and cash made available or deposited with the Exchange Agent (including any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of

7

fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f)) are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be exchanged for the Eligible Shares pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by this Article II, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day thereafter), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate (“Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Eligible Shares that by virtue of the Merger and operation of Delaware law were, at the Effective Time, automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in customary form) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f). Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the Eligible Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (i) that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares (after taking into account all Eligible Shares then held by such holder under all Certificates so surrendered) to which such holder of Eligible Shares shall have become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (which such Parent Ordinary Shares shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) and, as the case may be, (ii) a check in the amount equal to the Cash Consideration to which such holder of Eligible Shares shall have become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii), and in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue and send to each holder of uncertificated Eligible Shares represented by book entry that by virtue of the Merger and operation of Delaware law were, at the Effective Time, automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (“Book-Entry Shares”) (i) a notice advising such holders of the effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) a statement reflecting the number of Parent Ordinary Shares (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (after taking into account all Eligible Shares then held by such holder) and (iii) as the case may be, a check or wire transfer in the amount equal to (1) the Cash Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) plus (2) any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and cash payable in lieu of any fractional Parent Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(f), without such holder being required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, and such Book-Entry Shares shall then be cancelled. All Parent Ordinary Shares representing Merger Consideration to be issued to holders of Book-Entry Shares (including the nominee of The Depository Trust Company) shall be issued directly to the relevant holders. No interest will be paid or accrued on any unpaid dividends or cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f).

8

(c) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax is not applicable.

(d)

(i) No dividends with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the Parent Ordinary Shares that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof until such holder shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Following the surrender of a Certificate by a record holder of Eligible Shares in accordance with this Article II, there shall be paid to such holder, without interest, (1) promptly after such surrender, the amount of any dividends with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole Parent Ordinary Shares and (2) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole Parent Ordinary Shares.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, holders of Book-Entry Shares who are entitled to receive Parent Ordinary Shares under this Article II shall be paid (A) at the time of delivery of such Parent Ordinary Shares by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b), the amount of dividends with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole Parent Ordinary Shares, and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b) and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery payable with respect to such whole Parent Ordinary Shares.

(e) The Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f) issued and paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Eligible Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for transfer or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, no dividends with respect to the Parent Ordinary Shares shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such

9

fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former stockholder of the Company who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Ordinary Shares an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of a share of Parent Ordinary Share which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive (taking into account all Eligible Shares held at the Effective Time by such holder and rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) pursuant to Section 2.1(a), by (ii) the average of the volume weighted average price per share of Parent Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq Global Select”) (as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. or, if not reported by Bloomberg, L.P., by another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and the Company) for the 10 consecutive trading days ending with the last complete trading day prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any remaining holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (except to the extent representing Excluded Shares) shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f) (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws), without interest.

(h) None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Exchange Agent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, any dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(f).

Section 2.4 No Appraisal Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.5 Election Procedures.

(a) Not less than 30 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time or on such other date as Parent and the Company mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”), the Company shall cause to be mailed an election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials, in such form as the Company shall reasonably specify and as shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent (the “Election Form”), to each record holder of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) as of a record date that is five Business Days prior to the Mailing Date or such other date as mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company.

10

(b) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through customary documentation and instructions) of Company Common Stock to specify that such holder (i) elects to receive the Share Consideration in respect to all such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock or (ii) elects to receive the Mixed Consideration in respect to all such holders’ shares of Company Common Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent does not receive a properly completed Election Form during the period (the “Election Period”) from the Mailing Date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day that is five Business Days prior to the Closing Date or such other date as Parent and the Company shall, prior to the Closing, mutually agree (the “Election Deadline”) shall be deemed to have made no election. Parent and the Company shall publicly announce the anticipated Election Deadline at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Parent and the Company shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.

(c) The Company shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time-to-time by all persons who become holders or beneficial owners of Shares of Company Common Stock during the Election Period, and Parent shall provide the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its duties as specified herein.

(d) Any election made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form during the Election Period. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting it, by written notice received by the Exchange Agent during the Election Period. In the event an Election Form is revoked during the Election Period, the Shares represented by such Election Form shall be deemed to have made no election, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made during the Election Period. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 2.5(b), if the Elected Cash Consideration, is greater than the Maximum Cash Election Amount (the difference between the Elected Cash Consideration and the Maximum Cash Election Amount being the “Excess Cash Amount”), then each Share of a portion of the Mixed Election Stock of each applicable holder of Company Common Stock that would otherwise be converted into a right to receive the Mixed Consideration shall be converted into a right to receive the Share Consideration, with such portion being equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Mixed Election Stock of such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Cash Amount and the denominator of which is the Elected Cash Consideration, with each Share of the remaining portion of such holder’s Mixed Election Stock being converted into the right to receive the Mixed Consideration.

Section 2.6 Intended Tax Treatment.

(a) The Parties intend that the Merger will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. The relevant Parties will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) file and retain such information as will be required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3, (ii) file all Tax Returns consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment and (iii) not take any position for any Tax purposes (whether on any Tax Return, in any audit, examination or other Action in respect of Taxes or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code (or any similar U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Law) or a change in applicable Law occurring after the date hereof. Each of the Parties agrees to use its respective reasonable best efforts (x) to promptly notify the other Parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Entity, and (y) to provide such information as their relevant equityholders who qualify as “significant holders” may require to file a statement with their U.S. federal income tax return in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3(b). Each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and none of the Parties or their respective Affiliates will knowingly take or knowingly cause to be taken, or knowingly fail to take or knowingly cause to be failed to be taken, any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent qualification for such Intended Tax Treatment.

(b) Parent shall promptly notify the Company if, at any time before the Effective Time, Parent becomes aware of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying for, cause a failure of the Merger to qualify for or otherwise impede the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. The Company shall promptly notify Parent if, at any time before the Effective Time, the Company becomes aware of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying for, cause a failure of the Merger to qualify for or otherwise impede the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(c) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts and cooperate with each other to obtain (i) the Closing Tax Opinion and (ii) any opinion (or opinions) of counsel with respect to the tax treatment of the Merger required to be rendered in connection with any filing described in Section 5.4. In connection with the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall deliver to Baker Botts L.L.P. or, if Baker Botts L.L.P. is unable or unwilling to deliver the Closing Tax Opinion, another nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, which includes King & Spalding LLP (“Tax Counsel”), a duly executed officer’s certificate reasonably satisfactory to such Party and Tax Counsel dated as of the date requested by Tax Counsel, containing such customary representations, warranties and covenants as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Tax Counsel to render the Closing Tax Opinion and any such other opinions, in each case, at such time as Tax Counsel shall reasonably request.

(d) If Rewind has not occurred prior to the Closing, Parent shall cause the equity of Merger Sub to be transferred so that Merger Sub becomes a Subsidiary of Parent that is wholly owned by Parent indirectly solely through one or more entities classified as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) The Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code.

46

(d) From and after the date hereof and prior to the Company’s receipt of the duly executed Written Consent, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) after receipt by the Company of any Acquisition Proposal (which notice shall include the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and unredacted copies of the Acquisition Proposal and all related documents (including all financing commitments and other documents relating to the financing), and if such Acquisition Proposal or any portion thereof was not provided in writing, a summary of the material terms and conditions thereof) and keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal and any developments which are not immaterial related thereto and the status of any discussions or negotiations, including promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours after receipt) providing Parent summaries of all material oral communications between the Company and unredacted copies of all material correspondence and written materials (including any amendments or modifications thereto) sent or provided to or by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives in connection therewith.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is on terms the Company Board determines, in good faith and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, and after taking into account the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement, (A) is reasonably capable of being consummated in accordance with its terms and (B) if consummated would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders (solely in their capacities as such), than the Merger and the transactions from a financial perspective. For purposes of the reference to “Acquisition Proposal” in this definition, all references to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to “80%”; and

47

(iii) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means an agreement with the Company that contains provisions that require any counterparty thereto (and any of its Affiliates and Representatives) that receive information of, or with respect to, the Company or its Affiliates, to keep such information confidential; provided that, (A) in each case, the substantive provisions contained therein are no less favorable in any material respect in the aggregate, to the Company, than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, and (B) that an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” shall not include any provision (1) granting any exclusive right to negotiate with such counterparty (2) prohibiting the Company or any of its Affiliates from satisfying its or their obligations hereunder or (3) requiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay or reimburse the counterparty’s fees, costs or expenses.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.3(a), until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII or the Company’s receipt of the duly executed Written Consent, if in response to an Acquisition Proposal that the Company considers in accordance with Section 5.2(c), the Company Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, then, subject to the remainder of this Section 5.3(b), the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change. Prior to the Company Board effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with the immediately prior sentence: (i) the Company shall notify Parent in writing that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change; (ii) the Company shall provide Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the person or “group” making the Superior Proposal) and a copy of any written materials received from or on behalf of the Person or Persons making such Acquisition Proposal; (iii) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of four Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall discuss and negotiate in good faith, and shall make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate, with Parent and their Representatives, any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change; and (iv) no earlier than the end of such four Business Day period, the Company Board shall determine, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such four Business Day period and in consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material changes to the financial or other material terms of a proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a second notice to Parent as provided above, but with respect to such second notice, references herein to a “four Business Day period” shall be deemed references to a “two Business Day period”).

the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 or the Information Statement, so that any of such documents would not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall promptly be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required under applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company; provided, that the delivery of such notice and the filing of any such amendment or supplement shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by any Party or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to any Party.
