Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Risks Related to the Merger The pending Merger may be delayed or not occur at all for a variety of reasons, including that the Merger is terminated, and the failure to complete the Transaction could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our common stock. On August 2, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including: (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Common Shares; (ii) the absence of any order issued by any governmental authority (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) of competent jurisdiction, or applicable law prohibiting, rendering illegal or enjoining the consummation of the Merger; (iii) the expiration or termination of any waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and certain other applicable antitrust and foreign direct investment laws of certain jurisdictions; (iv) each party’s performance of and compliance with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement in all material respects; (v) no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement and (vi) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties in the Merger Agreement (subject to customary materiality qualifiers). The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, including, among others, covenants by the Company regarding the conduct of its business during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, public disclosures and other matters. Both the Company and Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including, among others, (i) if the Merger is not consummated by May 2, 2027, (ii) in the case of Parent, if the Company materially breaches its covenants not to solicit alternative business combination transactions or the Company’s Board of Directors effects a change of recommendation with respect to the proposed transaction or (iii) in the case of the Company, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a “superior proposal” subject to certain requirements. In certain circumstances in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, including if the Company materially breaches its covenants not to solicit alternative business combination transactions, the Company’s Board of Directors effects a change of recommendation, or the Company terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a “superior proposal,” the Company would be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $154 million. Failure to complete the Merger within the expected timeframe or at all could adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock in a number of ways, including: •the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects an assumption that the Merger will be consummated; and •we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses for professional services in connection with the Merger for which we will have received little or no benefit if the Merger is not consummated. - 52 - Table of Contents Efforts to complete the Merger could disrupt our relationships with third parties and employees, divert management’s attention, or result in negative publicity or legal proceedings, any of which could negatively impact our operating results and ongoing business. We have expended, and will continue to expend, significant management time and resources in an effort to complete the Merger, which may have a negative impact on our ongoing business and operations. Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Merger and our future could disrupt our business relationships with our existing and potential customers, suppliers, service providers and other business partners, who may be more cautious in their arrangements with us or attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than us. Our employees may have concerns with respect to the Merger and uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Merger could also adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain key personnel and other employees. Pending or future litigation against us and our directors and officers relating to the Merger may be distracting to management and, in the future, may require us to incur significant costs. Such litigation could result in the Merger being delayed and/or enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which could prevent the Merger from being completed. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the conduct of our business during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement including restrictions on our ability in certain cases to enter into contracts, acquire or dispose of assets, enter into new lines of business, incur indebtedness or incur capital expenditures (subject to certain exceptions, as detailed in the Merger Agreement) until the Merger becomes effective or the Merger Agreement is terminated. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the Merger, and result in our inability to respond effectively to competitive pressures and industry developments, and may otherwise harm our business and operations. Litigation could arise in connection with the Merger; such litigation against us could result in substantial costs, an injunction preventing the completion of the Merger and/or a judgment resulting in the payment of damages. Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into merger agreements. Our stockholders may file lawsuits against us and/or our directors and officers in connection with the Merger. Even if any such lawsuits are unsuccessful, defending against them may result in substantial costs. Lawsuits could prevent or delay the completion of the Merger and result in significant costs to us, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any potential future lawsuit or the costs associated with defending against any such potential future lawsuit.
