Amendment to the Schedule TO
Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
In connection with the Complaint, following a hearing on May 15, 2014 in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Vice Chancellor Laster issued an order denying the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin the acquisition of Vocus by Parent and the Purchaser.
On May 15, 2014, after review by the DOJ, the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the purchase of Shares in the Offer. As a result of the early termination, the HSR Condition to the Offer has been satisfied.
The Offer remains subject to the remaining conditions to the Offer set forth in Section 14—“Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase including the Financing Proceeds Condition and the condition to the Offer relating to the marketing period. The full text of the press release announcing the satisfaction of the HSR Condition is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(B) and is incorporated herein by reference.
On May 16, 2014, Parent and the Purchaser extended the expiration of the Offer until 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, May 21, 2014, unless and until the expiration of the Offer is further extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement and applicable law. The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on May 16, 2014. The Depositary has advised that, as of the close of business on May 15, 2014, a total of approximately 17,961,740 Shares, or approximately 83% of the outstanding Shares, had been validly tendered into, and not properly withdrawn from, the Offer, including 934,156 Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee.
Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibits thereto:
(a)(5)(B) Press Release issued by Parent and the Purchaser on May 16, 2014.
Amendments to the Offer to Purchase and the Other Exhibits to Schedule TO
