Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender any or all of the Shares we hold for your account on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.
Please note the following:
1. You may tender your Shares at the Purchase Price, as indicated in the attached Instruction Form, for cash, less any applicable withholding tax and without interest.
2. You should consult with your broker or other financial or tax advisor on the possibility of designating the priority in which your Shares will be purchased in the event of proration.
3. The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to other conditions, including the Strategic Investment Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase.
4. The Offer, withdrawal rights and proration period will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on October 20, 2022, unless the Company extends the Offer. Shares must be properly tendered by the Expiration Time to ensure that at least some of your Shares will be purchased if there is proration. Your instructions to us should be forwarded in ample time to permit us to submit a timely tender on your behalf.
5. Without limiting the foregoing, if you are subject to ADT’s Insider Trading Policy (the “Blackout Policy”), your tender of shares of Common Stock will be prohibited. If you are considering participating in the Offer, you should contact Paul Werner, by telephone at (561) 988-1944 or by email at prwerner@adt.com, or Janet Buttery, by telephone at (561) 322-4937 or by email at janetbuttery@adt.com, to determine whether you are prohibited from tendering your shares of Common Stock under the Blackout Policy.
6. The Company intends to purchase up to 133,333,333 Shares in the Offer, representing an aggregate purchase price of up to $1.2 billion. As of August 29, 2022, the Company had 857,048,818 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including 9,395,298 shares of restricted share awards (“RSAs”), assuming attainment of the maximum level of performance, under the Company’s Equity Plans (as defined in the Offer to Purchase)) and 54,744,525 issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. The Offer will be fully subscribed as a result of the Apollo Stockholder Commitment, and no shares of Class B Common Stock will be tendered or purchased in the Offer as a result of the Google Commitment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). As a result, the Company will purchase 133,333,333 shares of Common Stock, which would represent approximately 15% of its issued and outstanding Common Stock (assuming conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock on a share-for-share basis into shares of Common Stock, and including RSAs, assuming attainment of the maximum level of performance) as of August 29, 2022. The shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 29, 2022 do not include shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of existing stock options or vesting of existing restricted stock units or performance-based restricted stock units, or shares of Common Stock that the Company expects to issue in connection with the Strategic Investment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). However, upon the consummation of the Strategic Investment (the completion of which is a condition to the consummation of the Offer), the Company will issue 133,333,333 new shares of Common Stock to State Farm Fire & Casualty Company, meaning the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will not change after giving effect to the Strategic Investment and the Offer.
7. If you are an Odd Lot Holder and you instruct us to tender on your behalf all of the Shares that you own before the Expiration Time and check the box captioned “Odd Lots” on the attached Instruction Form, the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, will accept all such Shares for purchase before proration, if any, of the purchase of other Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before the Expiration Time.
