As previously disclosed, on March 7, 2018, Altra Industrial Motion Corp. (Altra) and Fortive Corporation (Fortive)
announced that they and certain affiliates had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the Merger Agreement), dated March 7, 2018, among Altra, Fortive, McHale Acquisition Corp. (Merger Sub) and
Stevens Holding Company, Inc. (Newco), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated March 7, 2018, among Altra, Fortive and Newco, (1) Fortive
will transfer certain assets, liabilities and entities within its Automation & Specialty platform, but excluding its Hengstler and Dynapar businesses (such businesses to be transferred, the A&S Business) to Newco,
(2) Fortive will distribute to its stockholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of Newco common stock held by Fortive by way of an exchange offer or a combination of an exchange offer and a pro rata dividend and (3) Merger Sub
will merge with and into Newco, with Newco as the surviving corporation, and the issued and outstanding shares of Newco common stock will be converted into shares of Altra common stock (the Merger).
On August 8, 2018, a purported class action was filed against Altra and each of the members of its board of directors and Fortive in the
Superior Court of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, by an individual who purports to be a stockholder of Altra. In connection with the complaint, the plaintiff, among other things, filed a motion to preliminarily enjoin the stockholders vote on
matters related to the Merger at the special meeting of stockholders of Altra (the special meeting). On August 31, 2018, the Superior Court of Norfolk County, Massachusetts denied plaintiffs motion to preliminarily enjoin the
special meeting. On September 4, 2018, Altra held the special meeting and its stockholders approved the issuance of shares of Altra common stock required to complete the Merger. On September 13, 2018, the plaintiff and all defendants named
in the complaint, by and through their respective counsel, agreed to dismiss the class action without prejudice.
