Under the tender offer, stockholders of the Company will have the ability to tender all or a portion of their shares at the Purchase Price. The Company will pay the Purchase Price for shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, taking into account the total number of shares tendered. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, if less than 5,981,308 shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, the Company will buy all shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. If the conditions to the tender offer have been satisfied or waived and more than 5,981,308 shares have been properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, the Company will purchase properly tendered shares on the basis set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, including the provisions relating to “odd lot” priority tenders, proration and conditional tenders.
All shares tendered and not purchased pursuant to the tender offer, including shares not purchased because of proration and conditional tender provisions of the Offer to Purchase, will be returned to the tendering stockholders or, in the case of shares delivered by book-entry transfer, credited to the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) from which the transfer had previously been made, at the Company’s expense promptly following the Expiration Date and the guaranteed delivery period.
