Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raven Buyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“
Parent”), to purchase all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock,
par value of $0.01 per share (each such share, a
“Share,” and collectively, the “
Shares”) at a purchase price of $8.75 per Share (the “
Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest, and less any applicable
withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated
July 25, 2022 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “
Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the
“Letter of Transmittal,” which, together with the Offer to Purchase and all exhibits, amendments, and supplements thereto, constitutes the “
Offer”). The Offer is
described in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and together with the exhibits thereto, the “
Schedule TO”), filed by Parent and Purchaser with the SEC on
July 25, 2022. The Offer to
Purchase and form of Letter of Transmittal are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) hereto, respectively, and are
incorporated herein by reference.

“Final Results of the Offer and Completion of the Merger
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at one minute following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
August 19, 2022. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary and paying agent for
the Offer, advised Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 16,830,657 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 82% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of the
expiration of the Offer on a fully-diluted basis. The number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition. All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived, Purchaser
irrevocably accepted for payment all such Shares validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the Offer and will promptly pay for all such Shares in accordance with the Offer.
As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser acquired a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to
Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Accordingly, on
August 23, 2022, Purchaser effected the Merger under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, pursuant to which Purchaser merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent.
At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any Shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by
Parent or Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) any Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that were held by any holder who was entitled to demand and properly demanded appraisal of such Shares
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL), was, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $8.75 per Share, payable net to the holder in cash, without
interest, and less any applicable withholding taxes, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Following the Merger, the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and deregistered under the Exchange Act.
On
August 22, 2022, Parent issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference.”
