On
September 7, 2021, Merger Sub commenced the Tender Offer.
At 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on January 27, 2022, the Tender Offer expired.
Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the joint depositary for the Tender Offer (the “Depositary”), advised Merger Sub that, as of the expiration of the Tender Offer, a total of 14,184,414 shares of Common Stock were
validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer (including shares subject to guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 23.5% of the outstanding shares not already owned by Parent. All shares of Common Stock that were
validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer have been accepted for payment by Merger Sub.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SHUSA and
Merger Sub completed the acquisition of SC on January 31, 2022 by consummating the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement without a meeting of SC’s stockholders in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than shares owned by SC, any of its subsidiaries, SHUSA, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of SHUSA, or shares for which appraisal rights have been validly exercised
under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding taxes.
As a result of the Merger, the Common Stock will be delisted and will cease to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. SHUSA and SC intend to take steps to
cause the termination of the registration of the Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and suspend all of SC’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.
