(the "Issuer"), Corgi Bidco, Inc. ("Parent") and Corgi Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub") completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 24, 2022 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Parent and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Surviving Corporation"). Immediately prior to the Merger, CD&R VFC Holdings L.P. ("CD&R Holdings") contributed all of its Shares (as defined below) to a parent entity of Parent (with such Shares subsequently contributed to Parent) pursuant to the Support and Rollover Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2022, by and among the Issuer, Parent and CD&R Holdings (the "Contribution"). At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by (i) Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries (including the Shares indirectly transferred by CD&R Holdings to Parent as part of the Contribution), (ii) the Issuer as treasury stock (the Shares referred to in (i) and (ii), the "Excluded Shares") and (iii) the Issuer stockholders (the "Dissenting Stockholders") who had perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")), was converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $21.00 per share, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration"). At the Effective Time, the Excluded Shares were cancelled and ceased to exist without payment of any consideration therefor and Dissenting Stockholders became entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder, provided that if, after the Effective Time, any person who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent under Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that the Dissenting Stockholder is not entitled to relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Shares, such Shares shall thereupon be treated as though such Shares had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest and less any required tax withholding. Following the Contribution and the Merger, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Shares. These securities were owned directly by CD&R Holdings. CD&R Investment Associates IX, Ltd., as the general partner of CD&R Holdings, may have been deemed to beneficially own the Shares held by CD&R Holdings. CD&R Investment Associates IX, Ltd. expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares that were held by CD&R Holdings, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
