The closing of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Approval”), and (ii) the Company’s completion of its financing to fund the Acquisition. In connection therewith, the Company’s current agent bank, Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, has delivered a highly confident letter to the Company in support of the financing to fund the Acquisition. The Purchase Agreement provides the Company, the Seller and the Target Companies (the “Parties”) with certain termination rights, including, in certain circumstances, the right of any Party to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Acquisition does not close on or before December 1, 2018 (the “Outside Date”), except that the Outside Date can be extended by up to forty-five (45) days in circumstances where the HSR Approval has not yet been received. The Acquisition is currently expected to close on November 30, 2018.

The representations and warranties and covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement have been made only for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement and solely for the benefit of the Parties, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the Parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the Parties instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the Parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
