Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding common share of the Company (other than Company Shares (i) owned by WestRock, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WestRock, (ii) owned by the Company or its subsidiaries or (iii) held by members who do not vote in favor of the Merger and comply with all of the provisions of the BCA concerning the rights of holders of common shares to require appraisal of their common shares pursuant to Bermuda law) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $18.00 per common share in cash subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award of the Company that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions and each restricted stock award of the Company that is then outstanding will be cancelled and terminated and each holder will have the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the number of common shares subject to such award multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration less applicable withholding taxes. Each restricted stock unit award of the Company that is not subject to performance-based vesting conditions that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by WestRock and converted into an award of restricted stock units of WestRock after giving effect to appropriate adjustments to reflect the consummation of the Merger, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The consummation of the Merger is conditioned, among other things, on: (i) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the statutory merger agreement between the Company and Merger Sub (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”) by holders of at least three-fourths of the issued and outstanding common shares voting at the meeting of the members of the Company (“Company Shareholder Approval”), (ii) receipt of regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and antitrust notification and approvals required in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including Canada, the European Union, and Mexico and (iii) other customary closing conditions. The Merger Agreement generally requires each party to take all actions necessary to resolve objections under any antitrust law, except that WestRock is not required to take any Divestiture Action (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to any products, services, assets, businesses or contractual arrangements of: (i) the Company and its subsidiaries, if such Divestiture Action would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) WestRock or its subsidiaries. The Company or WestRock may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by October 23, 2017 (the “End Date”), which date may be extended to January 23, 2018 under certain circumstances described in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, WestRock, and Merger Sub. The Company has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time. The Company has also agreed, following receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, not to solicit or initiate discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire the Company and to certain restrictions on its ability to respond to any such proposals. The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions for both the Company and WestRock, although following receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company would not be obligated to pay a termination fee upon any such termination. The Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement were approved and adopted by the Company’s shareholders on April 5, 2017 and has received the required antitrust approvals under the HSR Act and in Canada.
