regulatory reviews and consents that were necessary to consummate this purchase were completed or obtained by January 14, 2011. Transfer Restrictions Under the terms of the NASDAQ Stockholders’ Agreement, Investor AB is restricted from transferring any Shares that it acquires for a period of six months from the date of the NASDAQ Stockholders’ Agreement, subject to certain exceptions for transfers to, among others, its affiliates. Additionally, Investor AB may not transfer any Shares to a competitor of the Issuer, other than in a change of control of the Issuer, a public offering or sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in limited circumstances involving not more than 5% of the outstanding Shares. Furthermore, for six months following the date of the NASDAQ Stockholders’ Agreement, Investor AB may not enter into any swap or any other agreement that transfer, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares, other securities, cash or otherwise. Thereafter, Investor AB must maintain a “net long position” with respect to the Shares it beneficially owns. Board Representation As long as Investor AB beneficially owns at least 5% of the outstanding Shares, Investor AB will be entitled to propose for nomination one director for election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that one designee of Investor AB will be appointed to a committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer reasonably agreed to by Investor AB and the Issuer, in each case subject to applicable law, regulation, stock exchange listing standard or committee composition standard. Voting Rights Pursuant to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any beneficial owner is limited to voting only 5% of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote. Pursuant to the NASDAQ Stockholders’ Agreement, if the Issuer determines that it is in the best interests of the Issuer to seek approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission for an exemption from this voting limitation for any of the Issuer’s major investors, then the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain a similar exemption from the voting limitation for Investor AB. Standstill Restrictions Under the terms of the NASDAQ Stockholders’ Agreement, until the earliest to occur (the “Standstill Termination Date”), of: · the 10th anniversary of the NASDAQ Stockholders’ Agreement; · Investor AB owning less than 5% of the outstanding Shares; · the Issuer entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a change of control of the Issuer; · a change of control of the Issuer; and · the designee nominated by Investor AB is not elected by stockholders at a meeting of stockholders for the election of the Board of Directors of the Issuer; Investor AB will be restricted from (i) acquiring shares in excess of 19.99% on a fully-diluted basis of the Issuer, (ii) soliciting proxies with respect to the Issuer, (iii) proposing or seeking to effect a merger or change of control of the Issuer, (iv) making public statements or otherwise directly or indirectly seeking to control the management or policies of the Issuer or its subsidiaries or seeking additional board representatives or removal of directors, (v) forming a “group” with respect to the Issuer or (vi) otherwise acting in concert with others regarding any of the foregoing. In addition, if any third party makes a tender or exchange offer and within 10 business days of publication it is not recommended against by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, Investor AB may tender into that offer. |
