Item 11.
Additional Information
.
Section 15Conditions to the Offer of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text as a new
paragraph at the end of such Section 15.
The Regulatory Condition has been satisfied by the early termination of the HSR Act waiting period,
effective November 27, 2018.
Section 17Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended
and supplemented by adding the following text as new paragraphs at the end of the section under the
sub-heading
Litigation under Section 17.
On November 26, 2018, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Datawatch and the members of Datawatchs board of directors (other than
Mr. Mahony) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Robert Stier v. Datawatch Corporation, et al. (C.A. No.
1:18-cv-11013)
(the November 26 Complaint). The November 26 Complaint generally alleges, among other things, that Datawatch and certain members of
Datawatchs board of directors violated Section 14 of the Exchange Act by issuing a Schedule
14D-9
that was materially misleading and omitted material facts related to the proposed transactions with
Altair. The November 26 Complaint also alleges that certain members of Datawatchs board of directors violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as controlling persons who had the ability to prevent the Schedule
14D-9
from being materially false and misleading. The November 26 Complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the proposed transactions with Altair, rescission or an award of
rescissionary damages in the event such transactions are consummated, and an award of costs for the actions, including reasonable attorneys and experts fees.
Datawatch has advised us and Altair that it believes that the allegations and claims asserted with respect to Datawatch and the members of its board of
directors are without merit.
If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, we and Altair will not
necessarily announce such additional filings.
Section 17Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals of the Offer to Purchase is
further amended and supplemented by adding the following text as new paragraphs at the end of the section under the
sub-heading
Antitrust Compliance under Section 17.
The request for early termination of the waiting period was granted effective 9:54 a.m., Boston time, on November 27, 2018. Accordingly, the Regulatory
Condition has been satisfied. Except as set forth in this Schedule TO, the Offer continues to be subject to the remaining conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
Even though the requisite waiting period under the HSR Act has been terminated, at any time before or after our acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to
the Offer, if the FTC or Antitrust Division believes that the Offer would violate the U.S. federal antitrust laws by substantially lessening competition in any line of commerce affecting U.S. consumers, the FTC or Antitrust
