In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, @Road’s executive officers, each member of the Board, Institutional Venture Partners VIII and Institutional Venture Partners X (collectively “IVP”), each in their capacities as stockholders of @Road, entered into a Voting Agreement with Trimble and Merger Sub (each, a “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, each executive officer of @Road, each member of the Board and IVP agreed with Trimble and Merger Sub to vote in favor of the Merger and agreed not to dispose of any shares of common stock held by such executive officer, member of the Board, or IVP prior to the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements provide investors with information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Trimble or @Road.

In addition, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.
