Pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of May 17, 2024, by and among the Issuer, the Reporting Person and Arizona Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Reporting Person ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Reporting Person, and in each case not held on behalf of the third parties (collectively, the "Excluded Shares")) was converted into a right to receive $35.75 per share of Common Stock in cash, without interest. At the Effective Time, (i) all shares of Common Stock ceased to be outstanding, were cancelled and ceased to exist and (ii) each Excluded Share ceased to be outstanding and was cancelled without payment of any consideration and ceased to exist.
As a result of the consummation of the Merger on December 23, 2024, as of the date hereof, (i) the Reporting Person beneficially owns 0 shares of Common Stock, constituting 0% of the shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Reporting Person became the direct owner of 100 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation which represents the only outstanding capital of the Surviving Corporation.
On the Closing Date, the NYSE filed with the SEC a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 in order to delist the Common Stock from the NYSE and deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, the Issuer intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Common Stock.
The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 17, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.
