The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there having been validly tendered in the Offer and “received” by the “depository” (as such terms are defined in Section 251(h)(6) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”)) and not validly withdrawn, a number of Shares that, together with the Shares, if any, then owned by Purchaser or any of its affiliates (as defined in Section 251(h)(6)), would represent at least a majority of the Shares outstanding (the “Minimum Condition”), provided, that for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied, Shares tendered into the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee will not be considered validly tendered and not withdrawn.
The Offer is also subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the absence, since October 29, 2023, of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and other customary conditions as described in Section 15 — “Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase. Neither the Offer nor the Merger (as defined below) is subject to any financing condition.
The board of directors of Miromatrix has unanimously: (i) determined that the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 29, 2023, by and among Parent, Purchaser and Miromatrix (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), the Offer, the Merger, the CVR Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Miromatrix and its stockholders; (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Offer, the Merger and the CVR Agreement; (iii) resolved that the Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL; and (iv) resolved to recommend that Miromatrix’s stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will be merged with and into Miromatrix, with Miromatrix continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and will be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer without a vote of the stockholders of Miromatrix, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares held in the treasury of Miromatrix, Shares that have been irrevocably accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, or Shares that, at the commencement of the Offer, were owned by Purchaser, Parent, or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Miromatrix, Purchaser or Parent, and (ii) Shares held by stockholders who are entitled to demand and properly demand appraisal of such Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, have neither failed to perfect, nor effectively withdrawn or lost, their right to appraisal with respect to such Shares) will be converted into the right to
