We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer will expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on February 13, 2024 (the “Expiration Time”), unless Purchaser extends the Offer in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement, in which event the term “Expiration Time” will mean the time to which the initial expiration time of the Offer is so extended.
The Offer is being made pursuant to the transaction agreement, dated as of December 24, 2023 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among Purchaser, the sellers party thereto, who are Glazer family members and affiliates (“Sellers”), and the Company. On the terms specified in the Transaction Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent waivable by Purchaser, waiver of the Offer Conditions, on or prior to the Expiration Time and further subject to the proration procedures described below, Purchaser will irrevocably accept for payment and purchase, and pay for, a number of Class A Shares up to the Offer Cap validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn as described in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase) pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two business days) after, (i) in the event proration is not required, the Expiration Time or (ii) in the event proration is required, the final proration factor has been determined, which may be until up to five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Time (each such time of acceptance, the “Offer Acceptance Time”).
In the event that Class A Shares representing more than the Offer Cap are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn as described in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase) prior to the Expiration Time, Purchaser will purchase a number of Class A Shares equal to the Offer Cap on a pro rata basis based on the number of Class A Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Expiration Time. In doing so, Purchaser will determine the number of Class A Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by each tendering shareholder and apply a proration factor to determine the number of tendered Class A Shares Purchaser will purchase from each tendering shareholder. The proration factor will equal a number of Class A Shares equal to the Offer Cap divided by the number of Class A Shares that were validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn (with any resulting fractional Class A Shares rounded to the nearest whole Class A Share). For example, if a total of 26,475,668 Class A Shares are properly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), Purchaser will purchase 50% of the number of Class A Shares that each shareholder tendered (with any resulting fractional Class A Shares rounded to the nearest whole Class A Share).
For Class A Shares to be properly tendered pursuant to the Offer, the share certificates or confirmation of receipt of such Class A Shares under the procedure for book-entry transfer, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, either such Letter of Transmittal or an Agent’s Message (as defined in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase) in lieu of such Letter of Transmittal, and any other documents required in the Letter of Transmittal, must be timely received by the Depositary.
Except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer or other person, other than to us, as the information agent, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as the Depositary, for soliciting tenders of Class A Shares pursuant to the Offer. Purchaser will, however, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding the offering material to their customers. Purchaser will pay all share transfer taxes applicable to its purchase of Class A Shares pursuant to the Offer, subject to Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.
