Lattice and Canyon Bridge Fund I, LP jointly withdrew and then
re-filed their joint voluntary notice to CFIUS under the Defense
Production Act of 1950, as amended. Once CFIUS accepts the joint
voluntary notice, it will commence a new 30-day period, which may
be followed by a 45-day investigation period.
Lattice and Canyon Bridge have been and will continue to be
actively engaged with CFIUS, and remain fully committed to the
Merger, which was approved by the holders of approximately 99.65%
of the Lattice shares voted on February28, 2017. There can be no
assurances, however, that CFIUS will ultimately agree that the
parties may proceed with the transaction, and, if CFIUS
ultimately makes a recommendation to prohibit or suspend the
transaction, as to whether the President will decide to prohibit
or suspend the transaction.
