        The Offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 10, 2016 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among TubeMogul, Adobe and Purchaser pursuant to which, after consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Purchaser will merge with and into TubeMogul pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "DGCL"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with TubeMogul continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adobe (the "Merger").
