5. 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 of Common Stock will be purchased if there is proration. The exercise of your vested options should be completed and your verbal instructions to UBS should be given by the Cut-Off Date to permit UBS to submit a timely tender on your behalf.
6. Without limiting the forgoing, if you are subject to 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.
7. If you are an Odd Lot Holder and you instruct UBS to tender on your behalf all of the shares of Common Stock that you own before the Expiration Time and verbally indicating to UBS that you are an Odd Lot Holder in connection with your instruction, the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, will accept all such shares of Common Stock for purchase before proration, if any, of the purchase of other Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before the Expiration Time.
You should evaluate all of the Offer documents to determine if participation would be advantageous to you. The Offer documents consist of (i) an Offer to Purchase, dated September 12, 2022, (ii) the Letter of Transmittal and (iii) this letter. You can obtain a copy of the Offer documents from D.F. King & Co., Inc., which is acting as the information agent for the Offer (the “Information Agent”), at (877) 732-3619 or adt@dfking.com, or the dealer manager for the Offer, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), at (855) 453-0952. The Offer to Purchase sets forth all of the terms and conditions of the Offer, some of which are summarized below.
Whether or not you choose to exercise your stock options, and whether or not you choose to tender your shares of Common Stock, is entirely your decision. ADT’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved the making of the Offer. However, none of ADT, the Board, Apollo (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), UBS, the Dealer Manager or the Information Agent makes any recommendation as to whether you should exercise your stock options, whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your shares of Common Stock or as to how many shares of Common Stock to tender. ADT has not authorized any person to make any such recommendation. You must make your own decision as to whether to tender your shares of Common Stock and, if so, how many shares of Common Stock to tender in the Offer. You should read carefully information set forth or incorporated by reference in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, including ADT’s purpose for making the Offer, and consult your own tax, financial and other personal advisors before determining whether to exercise options and whether to participate in the Offer.
If you wish to exercise all or a portion of your vested stock options in order to tender the underlying shares of Common Stock in the Offer, you must exercise your stock options, in the manner described above, no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Cut-Off Date, to allow UBS enough time to facilitate your exercise, to transfer shares of Common Stock to your UBS brokerage account and for UBS to tender shares of Common Stock on your behalf pursuant to the Offer prior to the Expiration Time. The option exercise procedure and the procedure for UBS to submit a tender on your behalf requires up to four business days, so you should plan the timing of your decisions accordingly.
If you do elect to exercise your stock options, the exercise is not revocable, even if you subsequently choose not to tender your shares of Common Stock or all or a portion of your shares of Common Stock are not accepted in the Offer.
If you wish to have UBS tender any or all of the shares of Common Stock following exercise, please so instruct UBS by calling UBS at (561) 659-9591. If you authorize UBS to tender your shares of Common Stock,
