The Offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 4, 2025 (as it may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, Purchaser and, solely for the purposes of Section 5.16 and Article 8 of the Merger Agreement, Stark International Lux, a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée (“Ultimate Parent”). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two business days of the acceptance of the Shares for payment (the “Offer Acceptance Time”) following the consummation (as defined in Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”)) of the Offer, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with other applicable legal requirements, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (being such date and at such time as the certificate of merger in respect of the Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time and date as may be agreed upon by the parties to the Merger Agreement in writing and specified in the certificate of merger in accordance with the DGCL, the “Merger Effective Time”), each outstanding Share (other than (i) Shares held by the Company and each of its subsidiaries, collectively or held in the Company’s treasury (other than, in each case, Shares that are held in a fiduciary or agency capacity and are beneficially owned by third parties), (ii) Shares held by Parent, Purchaser or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, (iii) Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer and (iv) Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time that are held by holders who are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and have properly exercised and perfected their respective demands for appraisal of such Shares in the time and manner provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the Merger Effective Time, have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost their rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding of taxes upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

The “fair value” of such Shares as of the Merger Effective Time could be more than, the same as or less than the consideration to be received pursuant to the Merger. The Merger Agreement is more fully described in “Section 13 — The Transaction Documents” of the Offer to Purchase.
