In the event that the Company TPA Parties take such actions, they will be liable for grossed-up tax amounts associated with the income or gain recognized by Mr. Berkman or such of his affiliated entities as a result of such actions.

As of the date of this proxy statement, no amounts have been paid to Mr. Berkman or any of his affiliated entities under the terms of the TPA.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers (page 98)

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Company Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if you are a holder of common stock who is a U.S. holder (as defined below in the section of this proxy statement titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers”), you will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash you receive in the Company Merger and your adjusted tax basis in your shares of Company Common Stock converted into cash in the Company Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you are a holder of Company Common Stock who is a non-U.S. holder (as defined below in the section of this proxy statement titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers”), the Company Merger will generally not be taxable to you under U.S. federal income tax laws unless you have certain connections to the United States or we are or have been a United States real property holding corporation and certain other conditions are met.

You should read the section of this proxy statement titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers” beginning on page 98 for a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Company Merger. You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of how the Mergers will affect your U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. taxes in light of your particular circumstances.

Litigation Related to the Mergers (page 93)

On April 4, 2023, the Company received a demand letter from Norfolk County Retirement System, a purported holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, requesting access to certain books and records of the Company to investigate purported breaches of fiduciary duty, director independence and disinterestedness and/or other corporate wrongdoing in connection with the Mergers and related transaction documents. On April 14, 2023, the Company responded to this demand letter by denying the allegations contained therein and objecting to such purported stockholder's scope of requests but indicating a proper inspection of books and records would be permitted, subject to negotiation of an appropriate scope of production and execution of a standard confidentiality agreement.

Between April 7, 2023 and May 1, 2023, three complaints were filed in connection with the Mergers. On April 7, 2023, a complaint, captioned Ryan O’Dell v. Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. et al., 23-cv-2956 (S.D.N.Y.), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by a purported holder of shares of Class A Common Stock; on April 12, 2023, a complaint, captioned Elaine Wang v. Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. et al., 23-cv-3068 (S.D.N.Y.), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by a purported holder of shares of Class A Common Stock; and on May 1, 2023, a complaint, captioned Shannon Jenkins v. Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. et al., 23-cv-3657 (S.D.N.Y.), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by a purported holder of shares of Class A Common Stock; all three cases named as defendants the Company and members of the Company Board. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants caused to be filed with the SEC a materially incomplete and misleading preliminary proxy statement relating to the Mergers in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. Among other remedies, the complaints seek: an order enjoining the defendants from proceeding with the Mergers unless and until the defendants disclose certain allegedly material information that was allegedly omitted from the preliminary proxy statement; rescinding the Merger Agreement or any of the terms thereof to the extent already implemented or granting rescissory damages; awarding the plaintiffs the costs and disbursements of their actions, including reasonable attorneys’ and expert fees and expenses; and granting such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The Company has not yet formally responded to these complaints, but believes that the allegations contained therein are without merit.

On April 17, 2023, the Company received two demand letters from purported holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and, on April 19, 2023, the Company received a third demand letter from a purported holder of shares of Class A Common Stock; all three letters alleged disclosure deficiencies in the preliminary proxy statement and demanded issuance of corrective disclosures. The Company has not yet formally responded to these demand letters, but believes that the allegations contained therein are without merit.

As of May 9, 2023, the Company was not aware of the filing of other lawsuits or the submission of other demand letters challenging the Mergers and/or alleging deficiencies with respect to the preliminary proxy statement; however, such lawsuits or demand letters may be filed or submitted, respectively, in the future.

Appraisal Rights (page 94)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

cash for the fair value of their shares of Company Capital Stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. The “fair value” of your shares of Company Capital Stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as, the Merger Consideration that you are otherwise entitled to receive under the Merger Agreement. These rights are known as “appraisal rights”. This proxy statement serves as a notice of such appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL.

Persons who exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL will not receive the Merger Consideration they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. They will receive an amount determined to be the “fair value” of their shares of Company Capital Stock following petition to, and an appraisal by, the Delaware Court of Chancery. Persons considering seeking appraisal should recognize that the fair value of their shares of Company Capital Stock determined under Section 262 of the DGCL could be more than, the same as or less than the Merger Consideration they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Strict compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL is required. Failure to comply strictly with all of the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL may result in the withdrawal, loss or waiver of appraisal rights. Consequently, and in view of the complexity of the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, persons wishing to exercise appraisal rights are urged to consult their legal and financial advisors before attempting to exercise such rights.

A holder of record or beneficial owner of shares of Company Capital Stock who (a) continuously holds such shares through the Company Merger Effective Time, (b) has not consented to or otherwise voted in favor of the Mergers or otherwise withdrawn, lost or waived appraisal rights, (c) strictly complies with the procedures under Section 262 of the DGCL, (d) does not thereafter withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal of such shares and (e) in the case of a beneficial owner, a person who (i) reasonably identifies in his, her or its demand the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, (ii) provides documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be and (iii) provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the Company and to be set forth on the Chancery List (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Appraisal Rights”), will be entitled to receive the fair value of his, her or its shares of Company Capital Stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value.

A copy of Section 262 of the DGCL may be accessed without subscription or cost at the following publicly available website: https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc09/index.html#262. The foregoing summary is not a complete statement of the law relating to appraisal rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL and any amendments thereto after the date of this proxy statement. Any person who desires to exercise his, her or its appraisal rights should review carefully Section 262 of the DGCL and is urged to consult his, her or its legal advisor before electing or attempting to exercise such rights. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Appraisal Rights”.

Required Stockholder Approval (page 30)

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”). As of the Record Date, [56,452,943] votes constitute a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Recommendation of the Company Board (page 32)

The Company Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Transaction Committee, has unanimously: (a) determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders, (b) duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the consummation by the Company of such transactions, (c) declared the Merger Agreement and such transactions are advisable and (d) recommended that the Company Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

The Company Board unanimously recommends that you vote: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Prior to the Special Meeting, under certain circumstances, the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Change in Company Board Recommendation”) in response to an Intervening Event (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Change in Company Board Recommendation”) or in connection with a Superior Proposal (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation”).

However, the Company Board cannot make an Adverse Recommendation Change unless it complies with certain procedures in the Merger Agreement, including (a) giving Parent at least four business days’ prior written notice (subject to extension in certain circumstances) of its intention to take such action, (b) during such four-business day period, negotiating with Parent in good faith to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal and (c) following the end of such four-business day period, the Company Board again determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) (i) that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if the proposed revisions in such binding offer were to be given effect and (ii) that the failure of the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to the Company or Company Stockholders under applicable law. The termination of the Merger Agreement (x) by Parent in the event of (i) an Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) the Company or any of its affiliates entering into a Company Acquisition Agreement or (y) by Radius (prior to receipt of Company Stockholder Approval) to enter into a definitive agreement to consummate a Superior Proposal, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), will result in the payment by Radius of a termination fee of $52,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”). Radius will also be required to pay the Company Termination Fee in additional circumstances that involve a Takeover Proposal being made prior to certain terminations of the Merger Agreement and Radius subsequently consummating a Takeover Proposal.

On March 1, 2023, Barclays rendered its oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the Transaction Committee that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions stated in its opinion, from a financial point of view, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than the executive officers of the Company and other than TOMS Acquisition II LLC and Imperial Landscape Sponsor LLC (together, the “Excluded Stockholders”)) in the Mergers is fair to such holders.

For further discussion of Barclays’ opinion, see the section titled “Proposal 1: Adoption Of The Merger Agreement — Opinion of Barclays” beginning on page 74 of this proxy statement.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers (page 84)

The Company’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Company Stockholders, generally. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to approve the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and recommend that Company Stockholders approve the Merger Agreement Proposal. These interests may include:

•

the treatment of Company equity awards provided for under the Merger Agreement;

•

severance and other benefits payable in the case of certain qualifying terminations under the terms of individual employment agreements;

•

the potential to receive, with respect to annual bonuses for the year in which the Closing occurs, for the portion of the performance period that elapses following the Closing, a bonus at no less than target level;

•

the potential grant of cash-based retention and/or transaction awards under programs established for the benefit of certain Company employees;

•

agreements to rollover a portion of existing equity interests in OpCo into equity interests in the Surviving LLC;

•

the continued employment of certain executive officers after Closing pursuant to new employment agreements entered into with Chord TopCo, LP;

•

eligibility for certain executive officers and employees to participate in a new management equity program and/or cash-based long-term term incentive plan following the Closing;

•

the potential for Mr. Berkman and certain of his affiliated entities to be indemnified by the Surviving LLC and/or the Surviving Corporation for certain tax liabilities under a tax protection agreement; and

•

continued indemnification and insurance coverage under the Merger Agreement, the Company’s organizational documents and indemnification agreements the Company has entered into with each of its directors and executive officers, including, with respect to the Company’s executive officers, under individual employment agreements.

These interests are described in more detail, and certain of them are quantified, in the section titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers”.

No Solicitation (page 112)

The Merger Agreement generally restricts the Company’s ability to directly or indirectly solicit Takeover Proposals (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation”) from third parties (including by furnishing non-public information), to participate in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding any Takeover Proposal, to enter into agreements providing for or relating to any Takeover Proposal or to approve or recommend any Takeover Proposal. Under certain circumstances, however, and in compliance with certain obligations under the Merger Agreement, if, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company receives a Takeover Proposal that did not result from any breach of the Merger Agreement by the Company, the Company may furnish information to and engage in discussions or negotiations with, a person in respect of a Takeover Proposal if in each case, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation”) and not taking such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation”.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (page 124)

In addition to the circumstances described above, Parent and the Company have certain rights to terminate the Merger Agreement under customary circumstances, including (a) by the mutual written consent of Parent and the Company, (b) the imposition of a final and non-appealable Restraint, (c) certain uncured breaches of the Merger Agreement by the other party, (d) if the Company Merger Effective Time

shall not have occurred on or prior to the End Date (as such date may be extended under certain circumstances described in the sections of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Termination of the Merger Agreement — Termination by either the Company or Parent” and “The Merger Agreement — Specific Enforcement — Extension of the End Date”) or (e) if the Company Stockholder Approval has not been obtained. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Termination of the Merger Agreement”.

Under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent and, under certain other circumstances, Parent will be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee to the Company.

•

(a) Radius will remain an independent public company; (b) Class A Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq and registered under the Exchange Act; and (c) Radius will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC; and

Q: What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers?

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Company Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if you are a holder of Company Common Stock who is a U.S. holder (as defined below in the section of this proxy statement titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers”), you will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash you receive in the Company Merger and your adjusted tax basis in your shares of Company Common Stock converted into cash in the Company Merger.

Q: What will happen to outstanding Radius equity compensation awards in the Mergers?

As of Company Merger Effective Time or OpCo Merger Effective Time, as applicable, except as otherwise agreed by Parent and the applicable award holder, including pursuant to any Rollover Agreement:

•

each Company Stock Option outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement, whether vested or unvested, or outstanding as of the Company Merger Effective Time and vested, will vest (to the extent unvested) and be canceled in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the product of the Merger Consideration, less the applicable exercise price, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option; provided that any such Company Stock Option with an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be canceled for no consideration;

each LTIP Unit outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement, except for Rollover Equity, will vest with all applicable performance conditions deemed satisfied and be canceled in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such LTIP Unit is convertible immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time;

•

each share of Company Restricted Stock held by an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will be canceled and converted into an RS Payment Right; provided that, if the employment of a holder of an RS Payment Right is terminated following the Company Merger Effective Time but prior to the applicable vesting date by Parent without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) or due to death or Disability (as defined in the Company Stock Plan), then the vesting and payment of such RS Payment Right will be accelerated to the first payroll date after the date of such termination; and

Q: What will happen to the Company ESPP and Company Stock Plan?

Q: How do Radius’ directors and executive officers intend to vote?

On March 1, 2023, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement and as a condition to the Parent Parties’ entry into the Merger Agreement, William H. Berkman, Imperial Landscape Sponsor LLC (an affiliated entity of Michael D. Fascitelli, a director of the Company) and TOMS Acquisition II LLC (an affiliated entity of Noam Gottesman, a director of the Company), directly or indirectly through their respective affiliated persons or entities, as applicable, that, as of March 1, 2023, collectively held approximately 11% voting power of the outstanding Company Capital Stock, entered into voting and support agreements with the Parent Parties (collectively, the “Director Voting and Support Agreements”). Pursuant to the Director Voting and Support Agreements, the aforementioned directors of the Company (and their respective affiliated persons or entities, as applicable), solely in their capacity as Company Stockholders, have agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Company Capital Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby at the Special Meeting, with certain exceptions (as further described in the section titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Voting and Support Agreements”). As of the Record Date, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned and were entitled to vote, in the aggregate, [22,885,067] shares of Company Capital Stock, representing approximately [17.6]% voting power of the outstanding Company Capital Stock as of such date. We currently expect that all directors and executive officers of the Company, including those that are not party to the Director Voting and Support Agreements, will vote all of their respective shares of Company Capital Stock: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. For more information regarding the Director Voting and Support Agreements and security ownership of directors and executive officers of the Company, see the sections of this proxy statement titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Voting and Support Agreements” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”.

Q: Are there any other voting agreements in place with Company Stockholders?

Yes, in addition to the Director Voting and Support Agreements, on March 1, 2023, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement and as a condition to the Parent Parties’ entry into the Merger Agreement, Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and its affiliates that, as of March 1, 2023, collectively held approximately 10% voting power of the outstanding Company Capital Stock, entered into a voting and support agreement with the Parent Parties (the “Centerbridge Voting and Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Centerbridge Voting and Support Agreement, Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and its affiliates have agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Company Capital Stock in favor of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby at the Special Meeting, with certain exceptions (as further described in the section titled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Voting and Support Agreements”).

Do any of the Company’s directors or executive officers have any interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, my interests as a Company Stockholder?

In considering the proposals to be voted on at the special meeting, you should be aware that the Company’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a Company Stockholder. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and recommend that Company Stockholders approve the Merger Agreement Proposal. These interests may include:

•

the treatment of Company equity awards provided for under the Merger Agreement;

•

severance and other benefits payable in the case of certain qualifying terminations under the terms of individual employment agreements;

•

the potential grant of cash-based retention and/or transaction awards under programs established for the benefit of certain Company employees;

•

agreements to rollover a portion of existing equity interests in OpCo into equity interests in the Surviving LLC;

•

the continued employment of certain executive officers after Closing pursuant to new employment agreements entered into with Chord TopCo, LP;

•

eligibility for certain executive officers and employees to participate in a new management equity program and/or cash-based long-term term incentive plan following the Closing;

•

What vote is required to adopt the Merger Agreement Proposal and to approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to adopt the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Advisory Compensation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will have no effect on the Advisory Compensation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Each “broker non-vote” will also count as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will have no effect on the Advisory Compensation Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. If you properly sign your proxy card but do not mark the boxes showing how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your properly signed proxy will be voted: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present, the chairman of the Special Meeting or the Company Board may adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting.

The Company does not intend to call a vote on the Adjournment Proposal if the Merger Agreement Proposal is approved at the Special Meeting.

Q: What happens if the Mergers are not completed?

If the Merger Agreement is not adopted by Company Stockholders or if the Mergers are not completed for any other reason, Company Stockholders will not receive any payment for their shares of Company Capital Stock. Instead, Radius will remain an independent public company, Class A Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq and registered under the Exchange Act, and Radius will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC.

Under certain circumstances, Radius will be required to pay Parent the Company Termination Fee and, under certain other circumstances, Parent will be required to pay Radius the Parent Termination Fee. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees”.

Why are Company Stockholders being asked to cast an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal?

The Exchange Act and applicable SEC rules thereunder require Radius to seek an advisory (nonbinding) vote with respect to certain payments that will or may be paid or become payable to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

What will happen if Company Stockholders do not approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal at the Special Meeting?

The vote on executive compensation that will or may be paid or become payable to Radius’ named executive officers that is based or otherwise relates to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is a vote separate and apart from the vote to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal. Accordingly, Company Stockholders may vote to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal and vote not to approve the Advisory Compensation Proposal and vice versa. Because the Advisory Compensation Proposal is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on the Company or the Board; as the Company is contractually obligated to pay such compensation, such compensation will or may be paid or become payable, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, if the Mergers are consummated and regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote.

What do I need to do now?

You should carefully read and consider this entire proxy statement and the annexes to this proxy statement, including the Merger Agreement, along with all of the documents that we refer to in this proxy statement, as they contain important information about, among other things, the Mergers and how they affect you. Then sign, date and return, as promptly as possible, the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying reply envelope, or grant your proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone (in accordance with the instructions detailed in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Special Meeting — Voting at the Special Meeting”), so that your shares can be voted at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name”, please refer to the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Should I surrender my book-entry shares now?

No. After the Mergers are completed, the Paying Agent will mail a check, or make a wire transfer, to each holder of book-entry shares in an amount of U.S. dollars equal to the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any required withholding of tax, to which such holder is entitled, as described in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Exchange and Payment Procedures”.

What happens if I sell or otherwise transfer my shares of Company Capital Stock after the Record Date but before the Special Meeting?

The Record Date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting and the date the Mergers are expected to be completed. If you sell or transfer your shares of Company Capital Stock after the Record Date but before the Special Meeting, unless special arrangements (such as provision of a proxy) are made between you and the person to whom you sell or otherwise transfer your shares and each of you notifies Radius in writing of such special arrangements, you will transfer the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any required withholding of tax, if the Mergers are completed, to the person to whom you sell or transfer your shares, but you will retain your right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting. Even if you sell or otherwise transfer your shares of Company Capital Stock after the Record Date, we encourage you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying reply envelope or grant your proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone (in accordance with the instructions detailed in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Special Meeting — Voting at the Special Meeting”).

What is the difference between holding Company Capital Stock as a stockholder of record and holding shares in “street name” as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered to be the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. In this case, this proxy statement and your proxy card have been sent directly to you by Radius.

If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares of Company Capital Stock held in “street name”. In that case, this proxy statement has been forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, to be the “stockholder of record”. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting. You are also invited to attend the virtual Special Meeting.

How may I vote?

If you are a stockholder of record of a Company Capital Stock (that is, if your shares of Company Capital Stock are registered in your name with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., our transfer agent), there are four ways to vote:

•

Internet: Vote at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RADI2023SM in advance of the Special Meeting. The Internet voting system is available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June [•], 2023. Once you enter the Internet voting system, you can record and confirm (or change) your voting instructions.

•

Telephone: Use the telephone number shown on your proxy card. The telephone voting system is available 24 hours a day in the United States until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June [•], 2023. Once you enter the telephone voting system, a series of prompts will tell you how to record and confirm (or change) your voting instructions.

•

Mail: Mark your voting instructions on the card and sign, date and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. For your mailed proxy card to be counted, we must receive it before June [•], 2023 on June [•], 2023.

At the Special Meeting: Shares held directly in your name as a stockholder of record may be voted at the Special Meeting via the Special Meeting website by using the 16-digit control number included

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in your proxy materials. Shares held in “street name” may be voted at the Special Meeting via the Special Meeting website only if you obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee.

If your shares of Company Capital Stock are held in “street name” by a bank, broker or other nominee, the holder of your shares will provide you with a copy of this proxy statement, a voting instruction form and directions on how to provide voting instructions. These directions may allow you to vote over the Internet or by telephone.

Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual Special Meeting, we urge you to vote in advance by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. We encourage you to submit your proxy over the Internet or by telephone, both of which are convenient, cost-effective and reliable alternatives to returning a proxy card by mail. You may still attend the Special Meeting and vote thereat if you have already voted by proxy.

Please be aware that, although there is no charge for voting your shares, if you vote electronically over the Internet by visiting the address on your proxy card or by telephone by calling the phone number on your proxy card, in each case, you may incur costs such as Internet access and telephone charges for which you will be responsible.

If your shares are held in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may vote through your bank, broker or other nominee by completing and returning the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee, or, if such a service is provided by your bank, broker or other nominee, electronically over the Internet or by telephone.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is a Company Stockholder’s legal designation of another person to vote shares owned by such Company Stockholder on his or her behalf. If you are a stockholder of record of Company Capital Stock, you can vote by proxy over the Internet, by telephone or by mail by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card. If you hold shares beneficially in “street name”, you should follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee.

If a Company Stockholder gives a proxy, how are the shares voted?

Regardless of the method you choose to vote, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card, or your proxies, will vote your shares in the way that you indicate. When completing the Internet or telephone process or the proxy card, you may specify whether your shares should be voted for or against or to abstain from voting on all, some or none of the specific items of business to come before the Special Meeting.

If you properly sign your proxy card but do not mark the boxes showing how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your properly signed proxy will be voted: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

If my broker holds my shares in “street name”, will my broker vote my shares for me?

No. Your bank, broker or other nominee is permitted to vote your shares on any proposal currently scheduled to be considered at the Special Meeting only if you instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote. You should follow the procedures provided by your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares. Without instructions, your shares will not be voted on such proposals, which will have the same effect as if you voted against the Merger Agreement Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will have no effect on the Advisory Compensation Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed and dated proxy card?

Yes. You can change or revoke your proxy before the Special Meeting in the manner described in this proxy statement. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may change or revoke your proxy by any of the following actions:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

You may vote again over the Internet or by telephone as instructed on your proxy card before the closing of the voting facilities at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June [•], 2023.

•

You may submit another properly signed proxy card with a later date; provided such proxy card is received no later than the close of business on June [•], 2023.

•

You may send a signed written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Radius’ Secretary at 3 Bala Plaza East, Suite 502, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004; provided such written notice is received no later than the close of business on June [•], 2023.

•

You may attend the Special Meeting and vote thereat. Simply attending the virtual Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If you hold your shares of Company Capital Stock in “street name”, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding how to change your vote. You may also vote at the Special Meeting via the Special Meeting website by using the 16-digit control number included in your proxy material.

If you have any questions about how to vote or change your vote, you should contact our proxy solicitor:

Innisfree M&A Incorporated
501 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor
New York, NY 10022
Shareholders may call toll-free: +1 (877) 456-3513
Banks and Brokers may call collect: +1 (212) 750-5833

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

This means you own shares of Company Capital Stock that are registered under different names or are in more than one account. For example, you may own some shares directly as a stockholder of record and other shares through a broker, or you may own shares through more than one broker. In these situations, you will receive multiple sets of proxy materials. You must vote, sign and return all of the proxy cards or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedure on each of the proxy cards that you receive in order to vote all of the shares you own. Each proxy card you receive comes with its own prepaid return envelope. If you submit your proxy by mail, make sure you return each proxy card in the return envelope that accompanies that proxy card.

How many copies of this proxy statement and related voting materials should I receive if I share an address with another Company Stockholder?

The SEC’s proxy rules permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more Company Stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement to those Company Stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding”, potentially provides extra convenience for Company Stockholders and cost savings for companies.

Radius and some brokers may be householding our proxy materials by delivering a single set of proxy materials to multiple Company Stockholders who request a copy and share an address, unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected Company Stockholders. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or Radius if you are a stockholder of record by making a request to our Secretary at 3 Bala Plaza East, Suite 502, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 or by calling +1 (610) 660-4910. In addition, Radius will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the proxy statement.

Where can I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?

The preliminary voting results for the Special Meeting are expected to be announced at the Special

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Meeting. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, Radius will file the final voting results of the Special Meeting (or, if the final voting results have not yet been certified, the preliminary results) with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

Radius has engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. Radius expects to pay Innisfree M&A Incorporated a fee of $30,000, plus certain costs associated with additional services, as necessary, and Innisfree M&A Incorporated will be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket fees and expenses. Radius has agreed to indemnify Innisfree M&A Incorporated against various liabilities and expenses that relate to or arise out of its solicitation of proxies (subject to certain exceptions).

Radius also may reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries or their respective agents for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of Company Capital Stock. Radius directors, officers and employees also may solicit proxies by telephone, by electronic means or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

When do you expect the Mergers to be completed?

We currently expect to complete the Mergers in the third quarter of 2023. However, the exact timing of completion of the Mergers cannot be predicted because the Mergers are subject to the closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement and summarized in this proxy statement, many of which are outside of our control. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Mergers”.

How can I obtain additional information about Radius?

Radius will provide copies of this proxy statement, documents incorporated by reference and its 2022 Annual Report to Stockholders, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, without charge to any Company Stockholder who makes a request in writing or by telephone to Radius’ Investor Relations Department at 3 Bala Plaza East, Suite 502, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 or +1 (610) 660-4910. In order for you to receive timely delivery of documents in advance of the Special Meeting, you must make such request by no later than May [24], 2023. Radius’ Annual Report and other SEC filings may also be accessed at https://sec.gov or on Radius’ investor website at https://www.radiusglobal.com/filings/sec-filings.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information contained in this proxy statement, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by Radius, contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For these statements, we claim the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in such Sections. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may,” “will,” or similar expressions, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology.

Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations based upon our historical performance and on our current plans, estimates and expectations in light of information available to us. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein after the date of this proxy statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy and liquidity and the Mergers. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Certain important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results are summarized below. Other factors besides those listed could also adversely affect us. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks and uncertainties or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements include, but are not limited to:

•

the Mergers may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, including the risk that any required antitrust and foreign investment approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect us or the expected benefits of the Mergers or that the approval of the Company Stockholders is not obtained;

•

the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the Mergers may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure (a) to receive any required antitrust and foreign investment approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals) and (b) to satisfy conditions related to (i) there being no event of default under certain of the Company’s existing debt facilities, (ii) certain waivers of change of control provisions under certain of the debt agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries being in full force and effect at the Closing, including the possibility that such waivers fail to be in full force and effect at the Closing because any two of Mr. Berkman, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Goldstein have ceased to continue in their current capacities as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, respectively, at the Closing, and (iii) the Company having a specified minimum cash balance and the Company or any of its subsidiaries having an additional specified amount of additional cash, in each case at the Closing;

•

the possibility that compliance with the minimum cash condition to the consummation of the Mergers described above may limit the growth of the Company’s business, depending on the availability to the Company of other sources of capital that are permitted under the terms of the Merger Agreement;

•

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Mergers, including in circumstances that would require us to pay a termination fee or other expenses;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Mergers on our ability to retain and hire key personnel, our ability to maintain the relationships with our customers, suppliers and others with whom we do business, or our operating results and business generally;

•

risks related to diverting management’s attention from our ongoing business operations;

•

the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the Mergers may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability;

•

the extent that wireless carriers (mobile network operators, or “MNOs”) or tower companies consolidate their operations, exit the wireless communications business or share site infrastructure to a significant degree;

•

the extent that new technologies reduce demand for wireless infrastructure;

•

competition for assets;

•

whether the Tenant Leases for the wireless communication tower, antennae or other communications infrastructure located on our real property interests are renewed with similar rates or at all;

•

the extent of unexpected lease cancellations, given that most of the Tenant Leases associated with our assets may be terminated upon limited notice by the MNO or tower company and unexpected lease cancellations could materially impact cash flow from operations;

•

economic, political, cultural, regulatory and other risks to our operations, including risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and local inflation rates;

•

the effect of the Electronic Communications Code in the United Kingdom, which may limit the amount of lease income we generate in the United Kingdom;

•

the extent that we continue to grow at an accelerated rate, which may prevent us from achieving profitability or positive cash flow at a company level (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the foreseeable future, particularly given our history of net losses and negative net cash flow;

•

the fact that we have incurred a significant amount of debt and may in the future incur additional indebtedness;

•

the extent that the terms of our debt agreements limit our flexibility in operating our business;

•

the extent that unfavorable capital markets environments impair our growth strategy, which requires access to new capital;

•

the adverse effect that increased market interest rates may have on our interest costs, the value of our assets and on the growth of our business;

•

the adverse effect that perceived health risks from radio frequency energy may have on the demand for wireless communication services;

•

our ability to protect and enforce our real property interests in, or contractual rights to, the revenue streams generated by leases on our communications sites;

•

the loss, consolidation or financial instability of any of our limited number of customers;

•

our ability to pay dividends or satisfy our financial obligations;

•

whether we are required to issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series A Founder Preferred Stock or the OpCo LLC Agreement or upon the exercise of options to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, which would dilute the interests of holders of our Class A Common Stock;

•

the possibility that securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our securities adversely;

THE SPECIAL MEETING

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Company Board for use at the Special Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Special Meeting will be held virtually via live webcast on June [•], 2023, beginning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (unless the Special Meeting is adjourned or postponed). Company Stockholders will be able to virtually attend and vote at the Special Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RADI2023SM and using the 16-digit control number included in the proxy materials.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the Special Meeting, we will ask Company Stockholders to vote on proposals to: (a) adopt the Merger Agreement Proposal; (b) approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (c) approve the Adjournment Proposal.

Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum

The Company Board has set May 9, 2023 as the Record Date for the Special Meeting. If you were the owner of Company Capital Stock at the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Stockholders of record of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock they held on the Record Date. Holders of shares of our Founder Preferred Stock are entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, into which each share of Founder Preferred Stock held of record by such holder could then be converted. As described more fully in the Company Charter, our Founder Preferred Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis. Holders of any LTIP Units held in tandem with their related Class B Common Stock and/or Series B Founder Preferred Stock, as applicable, whether vested or unvested, are entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of votes that the shares of Class B Common Stock and/or Series B Founder Preferred Stock, as applicable, that are held in tandem with such LTIP Units are entitled.

At the close of business on the Record Date, there were (1) [99,664,040] shares of Class A Common Stock (which includes [•] restricted shares of Class A Common Stock that are subject to vesting conditions) issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, (2) [10,255,811] shares of Class B Common Stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote and (3) 2,986,033 shares of Founder Preferred Stock (which includes 1,600,000 Series A Founder Preferred Stock and 1,386,033 Series B Founder Preferred Stock) issued, outstanding and entitled to vote.

A list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be open to examination by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting, during normal business hours for a period of ten days before and during the Special Meeting at our corporate offices at 3 Bala Plaza East, Suite 502, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004. Stockholders may also contact Investor Relations at +1 (610) 660-4910 and arrangements will be made to review the records in person. The list of the Company Stockholders will also be available on the bottom of your screen during the Special Meeting after entering your control number included on your notice of internet availability or the voting instructions you received to enter the meeting.

The holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding Company Capital Stock entitled to vote thereat must be present at the Special Meeting, either present in person or represented by proxy, for the Company to hold the Special Meeting and conduct business. This is called a “quorum”. Your shares will be counted as present at the Special Meeting for quorum purposes if you either attend our Special Meeting or properly submit your proxy prior to the Special Meeting. Shares subject to a broker non-vote (as defined below) will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, it is expected that the Special Meeting will be adjourned to solicit additional proxies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may also vote by signing and submitting your proxy card and returning it by mail, if you are the stockholder of record, or by signing the voter instruction form provided by your bank or broker and returning it by mail, if you are the beneficial owner. We encourage you to vote before the Special Meeting even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, to ensure your shares will be represented whether or not you are able to attend the meeting.

Stockholders may vote at the Special Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RADI2023SM. To participate as a stockholder in the Special Meeting, you will need your control number. We encourage you to vote before the Special Meeting even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, to ensure your shares will be represented whether or not you are able to attend the meeting.

Vote Required; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to adopt the Merger Agreement. As of the Record Date, [56,452,943] votes constitute a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock. Adoption of the Merger Agreement by Company Stockholders is a condition to the consummation of the Mergers. The approval of the Advisory Compensation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the applicable proposal.

If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, the failure to authorize a proxy to vote your shares of Company Capital Stock or vote at the virtual special meeting, or the failure to instruct your broker on how to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will have no effect on the Advisory Compensation Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will have no effect on the Advisory Compensation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Each “broker non-vote” will also count as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will have no effect on the Advisory Compensation Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. A so-called “broker non-vote” results when banks, brokers and other nominees return a valid proxy voting upon a matter or matters for which the applicable rules provide discretionary authority but do not vote on a particular proposal because they do not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and have not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares. Radius does not expect any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting because the rules applicable to banks, brokers and other nominees only provide brokers with discretionary authority to vote on proposals that are considered “routine”, whereas each of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting is considered “non-routine”. As a result, no broker will be permitted to vote your shares of Company Capital Stock at the Special Meeting without receiving instructions. If you properly sign your proxy card but do not mark the boxes showing how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your properly signed proxy will be voted: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present, the chairman of the Special Meeting or the Company Board may adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting.

The Company does not intend to call a vote on the Adjournment Proposal if the Merger Agreement Proposal is approved at the Special Meeting.

Stock Ownership and Interests of Certain Persons

Shares Held by Radius’ Directors and Executive Officers

We currently expect that all directors and executive officers of the Company, including those that are not party to the Director Voting and Support Agreements, will vote all of their respective shares of Company

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Stock: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal, (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Voting at the Special Meeting

You can vote at the virtual Special Meeting, which will be held on June [•]. 2023, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RADI2023SM (unless the Special Meeting is adjourned or postponed).

You may also authorize the persons named as proxies on the proxy card to vote your shares by returning the proxy card in advance by mail, over the Internet or by telephone. Radius encourages you to vote over the Internet or by phone as Radius believes they are the most cost-effective methods. We also recommend that you vote as soon as possible, even if you are planning to attend the Special Meeting, so that the vote count will not be delayed. Both the Internet and the telephone provide convenient, cost-effective and reliable alternatives to returning your proxy card by mail. If you choose to vote your shares over the Internet or by telephone, there is no need for you to submit your proxy card by mail.

Voting Before the Meeting:

To vote your shares before the Special Meeting, please follow the instructions for Internet or telephone voting in the notice of internet availability, your other proxy materials or in your voting instructions. You may also vote by signing and submitting your proxy card and returning it by mail, if you are the stockholder of record, or by signing the voter instruction form provided by your bank or broker and returning it by mail, if you are the beneficial owner. We encourage you to vote before the Special Meeting even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, to ensure your shares will be represented whether or not you are able to attend the meeting.

Voting At the Meeting:

All shares represented by properly signed and dated proxies received by the deadline will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Company Stockholder. Properly signed and dated proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. If you indicate on your proxy card that you wish to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal but do not indicate a choice on the Adjournment Proposal or the Advisory Compensation Proposal on a nonbinding advisory basis, your shares of Company Capital Stock will be voted “FOR” each such proposal. Proxy cards that are returned without a signature will not be counted as present at the Special Meeting and cannot be voted.

If your shares are held in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may vote through your bank, broker or other nominee by completing and returning the voting form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee or attending the Special Meeting and voting using your control number, or, if you did not obtain a control number, contacting your bank, broker or other nominee to obtain a control number so that you may vote. If such a service is provided, you may vote over the Internet or telephone through your bank, broker or other nominee by following the instructions on the voting form provided by your bank, broker or other nominee. If you do not return your bank’s, broker’s or other nominee’s voting form, do not vote via the Internet or telephone through your bank, broker or other nominee, if possible, or do not attend the Special Meeting and vote thereat, it will have the same effect as if you voted “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will not have any effect on the Advisory Compensation Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy given by a stockholder of record may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the final vote at the Special Meeting by submitting a written notice of revocation to Radius Global

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Infrastructure, Inc., 3 Bala Plaza East, Suite 502, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, or over the Internet or by phone by following the instructions included in your proxy materials. Stockholders may also revoke their proxy by entering a new vote over the Internet or by telephone, by signing and returning a new proxy card by mail (only your latest proxy submitted prior to the Special Meeting will be counted), or by attending and voting at the online Special Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner and wish to revoke a prior instruction, you should follow the voting instructions you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee to revoke your proxy or change your vote.

Any adjournment, postponement or other delay of the Special Meeting, including for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies, will allow Company Stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Special Meeting as adjourned, postponed or delayed.

Company Board’s Recommendation

The Company Board unanimously recommends that you vote: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Solicitation of Proxies

The Company Board is soliciting your proxy, and Radius will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Innisfree M&A Incorporated has been retained to assist with the solicitation of proxies. Radius expects to pay Innisfree M&A Incorporated a fee of $30,000, plus certain costs associated with additional services, as necessary, and Innisfree M&A Incorporated will be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for these and other advisory services in connection with the Special Meeting. Forms of proxies and proxy materials may also be distributed through brokers, custodians and other like parties to the beneficial owners of shares of Company Capital Stock, in which case these parties will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq regulations. Proxies may also be solicited in person or by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic medium by Innisfree M&A Incorporated or, without additional compensation, by Radius or Radius’ directors, officers and employees.

Anticipated Date of Completion of the Mergers

Assuming timely satisfaction of necessary closing conditions, including the approval by Company Stockholders of the Merger Agreement Proposal, we currently anticipate that the Mergers will be consummated in the third quarter of 2023. However, the exact timing of completion of the Mergers cannot be predicted because the Mergers are subject to the closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement and summarized in this proxy statement, many of which are outside of our control.

Appraisal Rights

If the Mergers are consummated, persons who do not wish to accept the Merger Consideration are entitled to seek appraisal of their shares of Company Capital Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL and, if all procedures described in Section 262 of the DGCL are strictly complied with, to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares of Company Capital Stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. The “fair value” of your shares of Company Capital Stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as, the Merger Consideration that you are otherwise entitled to receive under the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Merger Agreement. These rights are known as “appraisal rights”. This proxy statement serves as a notice of such appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL.

A holder of record or beneficial owner of shares of Company Capital Stock who (a) continuously holds such shares through the Company Merger Effective Time, (b) has not consented to or otherwise voted in favor of the Mergers or otherwise withdrawn, lost or waived appraisal rights, (c) strictly complies with the procedures under Section 262 of the DGCL, (d) does not thereafter withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal of such shares and (e) in the case of a beneficial owner, a person who (i) reasonably identifies in his, her or its demand the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, (ii) provides documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be and (iii) provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the Company and to be set forth on the Chancery List (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Appraisal Rights”), will be entitled to receive the fair value of his, her or its shares of Company Capital Stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value.

Delisting and Deregistration of Radius Common Stock

If the Company Merger is completed, the shares of Class A Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act, and shares of Radius common stock will no longer be publicly traded.

Other Matters

Pursuant to the DGCL and the Company Bylaws, only the matters set forth in the Notice of Special Meeting may be brought before the Special Meeting.

Householding of Special Meeting Materials

Stockholders residing in the same address who hold their stock through a bank or broker will receive only one set of proxy materials, including the Notice, in accordance with a notice sent earlier by their bank or broker. This practice of sending only one copy of proxy materials, called “householding,” saves us money in printing and distribution costs and reduces the environmental impact of our Special Meeting. This practice will continue unless instructions to the contrary are received by your bank or broker from one or more of the Company Stockholders within the household.

After the Mergers are completed, you will no longer have any rights as a Company Stockholder. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Appraisal Rights”.

•

each share of Company Restricted Stock held by an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Company Merger

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effective Time will be canceled and converted into an RS Payment Right; provided that, if the employment of a holder of an RS Payment Right is terminated following the Company Merger Effective Time but prior to the applicable vesting date by Parent without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) or due to death or Disability (as defined in the Company Stock Plan), then the vesting and payment of such RS Payment Right will be accelerated to the first payroll date after the date of such termination; and

•

each share of Company Restricted Stock held by a non-employee director of the Company Board that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will vest (to the extent unvested) and be canceled in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the Merger Consideration.

Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Company Stock Plan

Prior to the Closing, the Company will take such actions as are necessary to provide that no new offering period or purchase period will commence under the Company ESPP on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and both the Company ESPP and the Company Stock Plan will terminate as of the Company Merger Effective Time. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Company Equity Awards”.

Background of the Mergers

The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Merger Agreement. This chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation of or among members of the Company Board, members of the Transaction Committee, Company management, the Company’s and the Transaction Committee’s respective financial and legal advisors, Company management’s respective legal advisors, EQT, PSP and their respective financial and legal advisors or any other person.

The Company Board has, from time to time and in consultation with the Company’s management and financial and legal advisors, evaluated a range of financial and strategic opportunities, including potential acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, business combinations and other similar transactions, as well as the possibility of obtaining capital investments from third parties in the public and private markets to fund the Company’s consistent need for capital to support its acquisition growth strategy. These evaluations have focused on, among other things, the business and macroeconomic environment facing digital infrastructure operators, as well as conditions and trends in the industry, and included Company Board discussions as to the advantages and risks of different strategies for short- and long-term value creation. Such discussions included whether the Company should continue to execute on its strategy as a stand-alone public company, pursue various joint ventures to fund its acquisition growth strategy, including a possible minority equity investment in the subsidiaries of the Company that own the Company’s multinational, diversified, cash-yielding portfolio of real property digital infrastructure assets (such subsidiaries, collectively, “YieldCo” and such potential investment, a “YieldCo transaction”), seek to make larger scale acquisitions or pursue a sale of the entire Company to a third party (a “WholeCo transaction”). As a result, members of the Company’s management and representatives of the Company’s financial and legal advisors have from time to time engaged in discussions with representatives of other companies, and their financial and legal advisors, that operate in, or are interested in, the digital infrastructure industry, as well as financial sponsors, including EQT and PSP, regarding such opportunities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In March 2021, the Company entered into a mutual non-disclosure agreement with a publicly listed company focused on digital infrastructure that we refer to as “Party A” to engage in preliminary discussions regarding a potential strategic relationship. Following execution of this mutual non-disclosure agreement, representatives of the Company and representatives of Party A from time to time discussed potential business relationships and strategic opportunities, including potential joint ventures, business combinations and other similar transactions.

In December 2021, the Company entered into non-disclosure agreements with each of EQT, a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party B” and a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party C”, to engage in preliminary discussions regarding potential capital investments in the Company and its subsidiaries. Following execution of these non-disclosure agreements, representatives of the Company, on the one hand, and representatives of each of EQT and Party C, on the other hand, had preliminary discussions regarding various capital investment opportunities, including a potential YieldCo transaction.

On February 9, 2022, William C. Berkman, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Scott G. Bruce, President of the Company, and Benjamin Judson, Vice President of the Company, met with representatives of Party C in New York City for introductory purposes.

On February 11, 2022, Mr. Berkman, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Judson and Richard I. Goldstein, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, met with representatives of Party A in New York City (with Mr. Goldstein participating remotely) to have preliminary discussions regarding various capital investment opportunities, including a potential YieldCo transaction.

On February 25, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company in attendance, at which meeting, among other things, the Company Board discussed the strategic rationale of a potential YieldCo transaction to further fund the Company’s acquisition growth strategy and determined to undertake a process to pursue a YieldCo transaction. As part of this discussion, Company management discussed with the Company Board features of a potential YieldCo transaction that it would seek in any such process, including: seeking an initial contribution by a minority investor into YieldCo in the range $300 to $500 million, the proceeds of which would be used to acquire additional cash yielding digital infrastructure assets; subsequent contributions of cash on a pro-rata basis between the Company and any such minority investor to acquire additional digital infrastructure assets post-closing; and the periodic post-closing receipt by the Company of management and incentive fees and reimbursement of certain expenses for the ongoing management of YieldCo’s business and services provided to YieldCo by the subsidiaries of the Company that own and operate the Company’s business of developing and acquiring digital infrastructure assets (such subsidiaries, collectively, “DevCo”). Based on their expertise and experience in transactions in the digital infrastructure industry, the Company Board determined to engage Citi (in a lead role) and Goldman Sachs to act as financial advisors to the Company Board in connection with its exploration of strategic alternatives, including with a respect to a YieldCo transaction.

Following the February 25, 2022 meeting of the Company Board, at the direction of the Company Board, members of the Company’s management and representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs initiated a process to solicit interest from potential investors in a YieldCo transaction. During the course of the process, 14 potential investors (including EQT, Party B, Party C and PSP) were contacted and 11 parties executed non-disclosure agreements (or, in the case of EQT, Party B and Party C, amendments to existing non-disclosure agreements). As part of the YieldCo transaction process, Company management and representatives of the Company Board’s financial and legal advisors held a number of meetings with parties evaluating a YieldCo transaction to discuss certain due diligence matters. Among these non-disclosure agreements executed in connection with the YieldCo transaction process, three contained standstill agreements, all of which expired upon the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement.

On March 18, 2022, at the direction of the Company Board, Citi and Goldman Sachs sent a process letter to each of the potential counterparties that had expressed interest in a YieldCo transaction, along with a draft term sheet for a YieldCo transaction, requesting the submission of written proposals and markups to a draft term sheet for a YieldCo transaction that had been prepared by the Company by April 12, 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During the weeks of March 21, 2022 and March 28, 2022, Company management and representatives of the Company Board’s financial and legal advisors held management presentations with potential counterparties in a YieldCo transaction (including EQT, PSP, Party B, Party C, a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party D” and a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party E”).

On March 28, 2022, the Company received from Party A an indication of interest to acquire the Company in a WholeCo transaction for $17.50 per share of Company Class A Stock in cash. Party A’s indication of interest in a WholeCo transaction was unsolicited. The Company Board was notified of Party A’s indication of interest in a WholeCo transaction after receipt thereof.

On April 6, 2022, Mr. Berkman and a representative of Citi met with representatives of Party E to discuss Party E’s interest in pursuing a YieldCo transaction.

On April 11, 2022, Mr. Berkman, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Judson, Thomas C. King, a member of the Company Board, and a representative of Citi, on the one hand, and representatives of Party C, on the other hand, met for dinner in New York City to continue their preliminary discussions, including with respect to a YieldCo transaction.

On April 12, 2022, a representative of Party A contacted a representative of Citi on an unsolicited basis to indicate that Party A remained interested in pursuing a WholeCo transaction.

On April 12, 2022 and April 13, 2022, the Company received two proposals for a YieldCo transaction, one proposal for a minority investment in each of YieldCo and DevCo and one proposal for a majority investment in YieldCo. While these proposals are difficult to compare due to different characteristics and terms, the proposals received consisted of the following headline terms:

•

a written proposal from Party B to invest $500 million to acquire a 24.3% stake in YieldCo, which proposal included a list of issues in the draft term sheet for a YieldCo transaction;

•

a written proposal from Party D to invest $300 million to acquire a 22.1% stake in YieldCo, which proposal included a markup of the draft term sheet for a YieldCo transaction; a written proposal from PSP to invest $595 million to acquire a 25% stake in YieldCo and an amount to be determined to acquire a 25% stake in DevCo, which proposal included a list of issues for certain terms of its proposed minority investment in each of YieldCo and DevCo; and

•

a written proposal from EQT to acquire a majority stake in YieldCo in the range of 75% to 80% structured as a $1,050 million purchase of equity from YieldCo and a $200 million cash contribution to YieldCo (such proposals, collectively, the “April 2022 YieldCo Proposals”).

In addition to proposing structures and investment amounts that differed from the YieldCo approach set out in the YieldCo process letter, the April 2022 YieldCo Proposals varied with respect to, among other things, the terms of the management and incentive fees for the Company and certain other terms relating to governance, transfer restrictions and post-closing acquisition of digital infrastructure assets.

In mid-April 2022, representatives of Citi, on the one hand, and representatives of EQT, on the other hand, held telephone calls to discuss a YieldCo transaction. During such calls, EQT indicated to Citi that it would be interested in pursuing a WholeCo transaction. EQT’s indication of interest in a WholeCo transaction was unsolicited.

On April 14, 2022, Party E, which had entered into a non-disclosure agreement with the Company on March 14, 2022 in connection with the YieldCo transaction process, submitted a proposal letter that indicated Party E had evaluated a YieldCo transaction, but believed it would be able to provide a significantly more compelling proposal through a WholeCo transaction. Party E did not provide a valuation at which it was proposing to engage in a WholeCo transaction, but identified key due diligence information that it would need to finalize a more concrete proposal. The Company Board was notified of Party E’s indication of interest in a WholeCo transaction after receipt thereof. Party E’s indication of interest in a WholeCo transaction was unsolicited.

On April 19, 2022, Party C submitted a written indication of interest to acquire the Company in a WholeCo transaction for $20.25 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash. Party C’s indication of

interest in a WholeCo transaction was unsolicited. The Company Board was notified of Party C’s indication of interest in a WholeCo transaction after receipt thereof.

On April 19, 2022, members of Company management and representatives of Citi, on the one hand, and representatives of Party E, on the other hand, held a telephone call to discuss certain of the due diligence matters identified in the proposal letter received from Party E.

On April 22, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel to the Company Board (“Cravath”), and Citi in attendance, at which meeting the Company Board discussed the April 2022 YieldCo Proposals, as well as the unsolicited indications of interest in a WholeCo transaction received from Party A, Party C and Party E. Representatives of Citi reviewed with the Company Board its preliminary financial analyses relating to YieldCo as part of the YieldCo transaction process.

On April 24, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath in attendance, at which meeting the Company Board continued its discussion of the April 2022 YieldCo Proposals and the unsolicited indications of interest in a WholeCo transaction received from Party A, Party C and Party E and the advantages and risks of exploring a potential YieldCo transaction only, potential WholeCo transaction only or a dual-track process. Additionally, the Company Board discussed, among other things, then current macroeconomic conditions, including various future economic scenarios, and the potential impact on the Company’s incremental cost of capital required to support its acquisition growth strategy, the potential impact on the short- and long-term trading price of shares of Class A Common Stock and the potential impact on the Company achieving the benefits of greater scale over the short- and long-term (each of which could negatively affect the Company’s financial performance).

Following that discussion, the Company Board determined that it would direct its financial advisors to (a) continue discussions with Party B regarding its proposed minority investment in YieldCo and PSP regarding its proposed minority investment in each of YieldCo and DevCo and (b) solicit interest from potential counterparties in a WholeCo transaction (including EQT, in light of its proposal to acquire a majority stake in YieldCo). The Company Board declined to move forward with Party D based on a holistic review of the investment, structuring and other terms on which Party D had proposed to engage in a YieldCo transaction.

Following the April 24, 2022 meeting of the Company Board, at the direction of the Company Board, the Company and its financial advisors undertook a dual-track process to continue discussions with Party B regarding a YieldCo transaction and with PSP regarding a minority investment in each of YieldCo and DevCo and to solicit interest from potential counterparties in a WholeCo transaction. During the course of this process, 20 potential buyers were contacted (including EQT, PSP, other participants from the YieldCo transaction process and Party A, a potential strategic buyer that we refer to as “Party F” and a potential strategic buyer that we refer to as “Party G”) and ten parties either executed non-disclosure agreements or, in the case of parties that were participants in the YieldCo transaction process, had existing non-disclosure agreements with the Company (which existing agreements, in certain cases, were amended in connection with the WholeCo transaction process). Among such non-disclosure agreements, eight contained standstill agreements, all of which expired upon the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement. Based on discussions with representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs, and in light of what had then become a volatile macroeconomic environment with rising inflation and rising interest rates, Company management were aware that potential counterparties in a WholeCo transaction process may have difficulty obtaining acquisition financing or be unable to obtain acquisition financing on terms that would support a purchase price that would be attractive to Company Stockholders. The Company directed representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs to advise participants in the WholeCo transaction process that the Company expected its existing indebtedness (other than the Convertible Notes) to be portable in connection with any WholeCo transaction. Additionally, as part of the WholeCo transaction process, Company management and the Company Board’s financial and legal advisors held a number of meetings with parties evaluating a WholeCo transaction to discuss certain due diligence matters.

On May 4, 2022, at PSP’s request, Mr. Berkman, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Judson and representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs, on the one hand, met with representatives of PSP, on the other hand, in New York City to further discuss PSP’s proposed minority investment in each of YieldCo and DevCo.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On May 6, 2022, Bloomberg reported that the Company was exploring strategic options, including a potential WholeCo transaction. Following the Bloomberg report, PSP informed the Company that it wished to pursue a WholeCo transaction and that if the Company Board determined it would not pursue a WholeCo transaction that PSP would continue to be interested in pursuing a minority investment in each of YieldCo and DevCo.

On May 9, 2022, the Company received from Party B a markup of the draft term sheet for a YieldCo transaction, which continued to propose an investment of $500 million for a 24.3% stake in YieldCo.

Beginning in mid-May 2022, in connection with the WholeCo transaction process, eight potential counterparties (including EQT, PSP, Party A, Party B, Party C, Party E, a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party H” and a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party I”) were provided access to a virtual data room that contained more information on the Company. Party G did not execute a non-disclosure agreement and was not granted access to such virtual data room.

On May 16, 2022, at the direction of the Company Board, Citi and Goldman Sachs sent a process letter to each of the potential counterparties that had expressed interest in a WholeCo transaction, requesting the submission of written proposals for a WholeCo transaction by June 1, 2022.

On May 20, 2022, Mr. Berkman met with representatives of Party H to discuss their interest in pursuing a WholeCo transaction.

On May 24, 2022, the Company Board, acting by unanimous written consent, authorized and created the Transaction Committee and empowered the Transaction Committee with full authority to review, consider, evaluate, negotiate, accept, reject and recommend any potential WholeCo transaction in which one or more officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates of the Company may have material interests that would be additional to and/or materially different from the interests of disinterested Company Stockholders. The Company Board determined to create the Transaction Committee at this point in recognition of the fact that, unlike a YieldCo transaction, a WholeCo transaction could involve such matters. The Company Board appointed Mr. King as chair of the Transaction Committee. The Transaction Committee retained Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP (“Morris Nichols”) as its independent counsel and engaged Barclays, based on its expertise and experience in transactions in the digital infrastructure industry, to act as its financial advisor. The Transaction Committee met 19 times throughout the WholeCo transaction process.

On May 25, 2022, Party B contacted representatives of Citi to indicate that, although a YieldCo transaction was its preferred transaction structure, Party B could pursue a potential WholeCo transaction if the Company Board determined to move forward with a WholeCo transaction in lieu of a YieldCo transaction.

On June 1, 2022, the Company received three written proposals for a WholeCo transaction, one verbal proposal for a WholeCo transaction and one written proposal for a YieldCo transaction. The proposals were as follows: a written proposal for a WholeCo transaction from PSP to acquire the Company with an additional minority investor or co-control partner (if any such co-investor could be identified) for $18.12 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash; a written proposal for a WholeCo transaction from Party C to acquire the Company for $18.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash; a written proposal for a WholeCo transaction from EQT to acquire the Company for $15.50 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash; a verbal indication from Party F that it was interested in acquiring the Company at a valuation in the range of $18.00 to $19.50 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash; and a written proposal for a YieldCo transaction from Party A to invest $306 million to acquire a 50% stake in YieldCo. Party A did not reengage on its prior unsolicited proposal for a WholeCo transaction. Neither Party E nor Party I submitted a proposal for a WholeCo transaction.

On June 6, 2022, representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs engaged in discussions with each of EQT, PSP and Party C regarding their written proposals for a WholeCo transaction.

On June 6, 2022, the Transaction Committee adopted guidelines to govern discussions between potential counterparties in a WholeCo transaction and Company management concerning Company management’s willingness to enter into any potential rollover arrangements and/or post-closing employment

and compensation arrangements (the “June 2022 Guidelines”). The June 2022 Guidelines were subsequently shared with the Company Board and Company management.

On June 7, 2022, following a request from the Company to provide its proposal for a WholeCo transaction in writing, Party F informed representatives of Citi that it was no longer prepared to pursue a WholeCo transaction at a valuation in the range of $18.00 to $19.50 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash and that at that time Party F viewed the value of the Company as closer to its then current market price. The shares of Class A Common Stock closed at $15.57 per share that day.

On June 7, 2022, Party H indicated to representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs that they intended to submit written proposals for a WholeCo transaction, but the Company ultimately did not receive any written proposal for a WholeCo transaction from Party H.

On June 9, 2022, at the direction of Company management, representatives of Citi and Goldman contacted a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party J” and a financial sponsor that we refer to as “Party K” to assess their interest in a WholeCo transaction. Party J subsequently informed representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs that it was not interested in pursuing a WholeCo transaction. Following two preliminary telephone calls with representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs regarding a WholeCo transaction, Party K ceased engaging in the WholeCo transaction process.

On June 10, 2022, Party A informed representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs that it was planning to submit a written proposal for a WholeCo transaction but ultimately Party A did not submit such a proposal.

On June 13, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath, Citi and Goldman Sachs in attendance, at which meeting the Company Board directed Citi and Goldman to continue discussions with the parties interested in a YieldCo transaction; invite EQT, PSP and Party C into the next phase of the WholeCo transaction process; and engage with PSP on potential co-bidders.

On June 14, 2022, representatives of Citi held separate telephone calls with representatives of each of EQT, PSP and Party C to discuss their respective written proposals for a WholeCo transaction and to invite each of EQT, PSP and Party C into the next phase of the WholeCo transaction process. Also on this date, representatives of Citi held a telephone call with representatives of Party B to discuss Party B’s potential interest in pursuing a WholeCo transaction.

Beginning on June 14, 2022 and until mid-July 2022, following indications from PSP that it would not be able to submit a proposal for a WholeCo transaction on its own, representatives of Citi, on the one hand, and representatives of PSP, on the other hand, discussed potential co-bidders and the Company ultimately consented to PSP’s request to discuss its proposed WholeCo transaction with three potential co-bidders (one of which was EQT).

Beginning in June 2022 and until October 2022, the Transaction Committee had several discussions with the holders of Series A Founder Preferred Stock and their counsel concerning the rights of such holders to an annual dividend under the terms of the Company Charter and the treatment of such Series A Founder Preferred Stock in a potential WholeCo transaction in the valuation ranges under consideration by the Transaction Committee and the Company Board during that period. The Merger Agreement provides that such holders of Series A Founder Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the same Merger Consideration upon completion of the Company Merger as holders of Class A Common Stock.

On June 29, 2022, a representative of Party E contacted representatives of Citi and Goldman to inform them that Party E would not be continuing to engage in discussions regarding a WholeCo transaction.

On July 1, 2022, in accordance with the Company Board’s direction and as approved by Company management, Citi and Goldman Sachs sent to EQT, PSP and Party C a process letter and provided such parties by email an auction draft of the merger agreement that had been prepared by Cravath.

During July, August and September 2022, to facilitate the potential portability of the Company’s existing indebtedness (other than the Convertible Notes), Company management’s representatives began discussions with certain of the Company’s lenders to obtain waivers of, or amendments to, certain change of control provisions in the Company’s existing debt agreements that would potentially be implicated by a

TABLE OF CONTENTS

WholeCo transaction (which waivers and amendments we refer to in this section of the proxy statement titled “— Background of the Mergers” as the “debt waivers and consents”). As a condition to providing debt waivers and consents, certain of the Company’s lenders insisted on retaining an ability to call an event of default under the applicable existing debt agreements if there was not continuity of Company management after the closing of any WholeCo transaction, ultimately, making it clear that such lenders would not consent to a WholeCo transaction without certain members of Company management being retained in connection with a WholeCo transaction. As a result, such lenders required the inclusion of a condition that any two of Mr. Berkman, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Goldstein must continue in their current capacities as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, respectively, at the closing of any WholeCo transaction in order for such lenders’ waivers and consents to be effective.

On July 15, 2022, representatives of Cravath and representatives of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, outside counsel to EQT (“Simpson”), held a telephone call to discuss the auction draft of the merger agreement. Also on July 15, 2022, Company management, representatives of Cravath and representatives of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, the Company’s debt financing counsel (“Schulte”), on the one hand, and representatives of Simpson, on the other hand, held a telephone call to discuss certain matters relating to the Company’s existing debt financing.

On July 20, 2022, at EQT’s request, the Company granted consent to EQT to discuss its proposed WholeCo transaction with two potential co-bidders.

On July 21, 2022, representatives of EQT and Party B expressed to representatives of Citi in separate discussions that that they were interested in being introduced to one another to have preliminary discussions regarding a potential partnership in connection with a WholeCo transaction. The Company subsequently permitted these discussions.

Also on July 21, 2022, representatives of Goldman Sachs delivered a relationship disclosure letter to the Company Board providing information regarding certain of Goldman Sachs’ relationships with the Company, Centerbridge Partners L.P., EQT and PSP and certain of their affiliates and portfolio companies (the “Goldman Sachs Disclosure Letter”).

On July 22, 2022, Company management and representatives of Cravath and Schulte, on the one hand, and representatives of EQT and Simpson, on the other hand, held a telephone call to discuss certain matters relating to the potential portability of the Company’s existing indebtedness (other than the Convertible Notes) and the Company’s existing capital structure.

Also on July 22, 2022, Company management and representatives of Cravath and Schulte, on the one hand, and representatives of Party C and Party C’s outside counsel, on the other hand, held a telephone call to discuss certain matters relating to the potential portability of the Company’s existing indebtedness (other than the Convertible Notes) and the Company’s existing capital structure.

On July 25, 2022, at Party C’s request, the Company consented to Party C discussing its proposal for a WholeCo transaction with a potential co-bidder.

On July 29, 2022, Party B notified representatives of Citi that it would not be pursuing a potential partnership with EQT in connection with a WholeCo transaction and, ultimately, no proposal for a WholeCo transaction was received from Party B.

On August 3, 2022, representatives of Citi provided Citi’s relationship disclosure letter to the Company Board providing information regarding certain of Citi’s relationships with the Company, EQT and PSP and certain of their affiliates and their portfolio companies (the “Citi Disclosure Letter”).

On August 4, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath, Morris Nichols, Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays in attendance, at which meeting Company management reviewed the June 30, 2022 – 2032 Management Forecasts with the Company Board and representatives of Citi and Goldman reviewed with the Company Board their respective preliminary financial analyses relating to the Company based on the June 30, 2022 – 2032 Management Forecasts. For more information about the June 30, 2022 – 2032 Management Forecasts, see the section of this proxy statement titled “— Certain Financial Forecasts”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On August 5, 2022, a representative of Party A contacted a representative of Citi on an unsolicited basis and indicated that Party A remained interested in pursuing a WholeCo transaction.

On August 6, 2022, Party C’s outside counsel sent to Cravath a markup of the auction draft of the merger agreement (which markup and subsequent revised drafts thereto are referred to in this section of the proxy statement titled “— Background of the Mergers” as the “Party C Merger Agreement”), which Cravath shared with Morris Nichols. Open points in the Party C Merger Agreement at this time included, among other things: the purchase price; the specific amounts of termination fees to be payable by the parties to each other and the triggers thereof and certain other deal protection issues; certain provisions regarding conditions with respect to events of default that could arise under certain of the Company’s debt agreements as result of actions taken or not taken by the Company during the period between signing and closing and restrictions with respect to the remedies the Company could take or cause to be taken to cure such defaults (which provisions we refer to in this section of the proxy statement titled “— Background of the Mergers” as the “debt default” and “restricted remedies” provisions, respectively); and certain provisions regarding the debt waivers and consents.

On August 8, 2022, Simpson sent to Cravath a markup of the auction draft of the merger agreement (which markup and subsequent revised drafts thereto and final, executed version thereof, are referred to in this section of the proxy statement titled “— Background of the Mergers” as the “Merger Agreement”), which Cravath shared with Morris Nichols. Open points in the Merger Agreement at this time included, among other things: the purchase price; the minimum cash and regulatory conditions; the specific amounts of termination fees to be payable by the parties to each other and the triggers thereof and certain other deal protection issues; and certain provisions regarding debt defaults, restricted remedies and the debt waivers and consents.

On August 9, 2022, representatives of Citi and Goldman provided to Party A by email the auction draft of the merger agreement that had been prepared by Cravath. Thereafter, representatives of Citi encouraged Party A to submit a written proposal for a WholeCo transaction, but Party A ultimately did not submit such a proposal.

On August 11, 2022, Company management was informed that the Transaction Committee had authorized initial contact between Company management, on the one hand, and representatives of each of EQT (in respect of its proposed WholeCo transaction) and Party C (in respect of its proposed WholeCo transaction), on the other hand, subject to compliance with the June 2022 Guidelines, for purposes of limited discussions regarding certain members of Company management’s interest in remaining with the Company after the closing of a WholeCo transaction and willingness to rollover any portion of equity that such individuals held in the Company and/or OpCo in a WholeCo transaction.

On August 11, 2022, the Company provided to EQT, PSP and Party C in the virtual data room a revised draft of the confidential disclosure schedules to the auction draft of the merger agreement.

On August 16, 2022, Company management and representatives of Cravath and Morris Nichols, on the one hand, and representatives of Party C, on the other hand, held a telephone call to discuss the June 2022 Guidelines as they would relate to preliminary discussions between representatives of Party C, on the one hand, and certain members of Company management, on the other hand.

On August 17, 2022, a representative of EQT informed Citi that EQT was no longer pursuing a WholeCo transaction. EQT’s access to the virtual data room containing information about the Company that had been established in connection with the WholeCo transaction was subsequently suspended.

At this time, Party C also indicated that it wished to enter into exclusivity with the Company. Also on this date, PSP submitted a letter reiterating its desire to partner with the winning bidder as a co-investor for at least 25% of the equity but did not otherwise submit a revised written proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On August 19, 2022, Party C’s outside counsel sent to Cravath a revised draft of the Party C Merger Agreement, which Cravath shared with Morris Nichols.

On August 21, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath, Morris Nichols, Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays in attendance. Mr. Berkman provided an update with respect to the WholeCo transaction process, highlighting developments with respect to EQT, PSP, Party C and Party A since the prior Company Board meeting. Representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs provided a summary of Party C’s revised written proposal and the evolution thereof, noted to the Company Board that Party C had requested to proceed on an exclusive basis, and reviewed with the Company Board their respective preliminary financial analyses relating to the Company. The Company Board discussed potential next steps to take with Party C, including whether to grant exclusivity, and reexamined the relative merits and considerations of strategic alternatives other than a WholeCo transaction that the Company could pursue, including continuing as a stand-alone company and potentially pursuing a YieldCo transaction. As part of that discussion, the Company Board discussed with representatives of Cravath and Morris Nichols the Company Board’s obligations as they relate to a WholeCo transaction to obtain the best price reasonably obtainable, including, if necessary, by granting exclusivity to Party C if the Company Board believed that it would facilitate obtaining the best price. A representative of Cravath then reviewed with the Company Board key points that were open in the Party C Merger Agreement. After considering the advantages and risks of proceeding with Party C on an exclusive basis in light of the open points, the Company Board directed Citi and Goldman to engage in further price discovery with Party C. The Company Board determined that it would not grant exclusivity to Party C until Party C had increased its proposed purchase price and shown further movement on key contractual terms that were open.

On August 21, 2022, representatives of Citi contacted representatives of Party C to indicate that the Company would not grant exclusivity unless Party C increased its proposed purchase price and showed further movement on key contractual terms that were open.

On August 22, 2022, representatives of Party C contacted representatives of Citi to indicate that Party C was willing to increase its proposed purchase price to $17.75 per share of Class Common Stock in cash, with a purchase price reduction for any amounts required to be paid to obtain the debt waivers and consents, in exchange for a two-week exclusivity period.

On August 22, 2022, Cravath sent to Party C’s outside counsel comments to certain provisions of Party C’s draft of the Party C Merger Agreement that would need to be accepted for the Company Board to consider granting exclusivity to Party C, including with respect to the specific amounts of termination fees to be payable by the parties to each other under certain circumstances contemplated by the Party C Merger Agreement and certain provisions regarding debt defaults, restricted remedies and the debt waivers and consents.

On August 23, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath, Morris Nichols, Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays in attendance. Company management provided an update with respect to the WholeCo transaction process and the negotiations with Party C. Representatives of Citi and Goldman noted that following receipt of Party C’s revised bid of $17.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash, Citi had engaged in additional price discovery with Party C as directed by the Company Board and that Party C had indicated it would be willing to increase its bid to $17.75 per share of Class A Common stock in cash, with a purchase price reduction for any amounts required to be paid to obtain the debt waivers and consents, in exchange for a two-week exclusivity period. Members of the Company Board discussed whether to grant exclusivity to Party C on that basis.

Members of the Company Board continued their discussion from the prior meeting regarding the advantages and risks of continuing to operate as a stand-alone company or pursuing a potential YieldCo transaction given recently increased volatility in the then current macroeconomic environment, continued uncertainty surrounding forecasted economic conditions in the near- and long-term, and industry headwinds facing the Company (each of which could negatively affect the Company’s financial performance), particularly in light of rising inflation and interest rates and challenges that financial sponsors were generally encountering in the then current financing markets. A representative of Cravath also provided an overview

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the status of negotiations on the definitive documentation for a transaction with Party C, noting, among other things, that while there remained certain open legal points to negotiate with Party C, such points could potentially be resolved during an exclusivity period of approximately two weeks. Following such discussion, the Company Board directed Mr. Berkman, Mr. King and the representatives of Citi and Goldman to drive Party C to further increase its proposed purchase and show additional movement on contractual terms, while granting Messrs. Berkman and King and the Company Board’s advisors the authority to negotiate an exclusivity agreement with Party C if Party C increased its proposed purchase price to not less than $17.75 per share of Class A Common Stock.

Later on August 23, 2022, representatives of Citi and Goldman held a telephone call with representatives of Party C to discuss valuation and each of Mr. Berkman and Mr. King held separate telephone calls with representatives of Party C to discuss valuation. At the conclusion of the telephone call among Mr. Berkman, Mr. King and representatives of Party C, the Company and Party C had reached a tentative agreement on a revised purchase price of $18.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash (without a purchase price reduction for any amounts required to be paid to obtain the debt waivers and consents) and an agreement to enter into a two-week exclusivity period provided the parties could resolve certain other key contractual terms, including the specific amounts of termination fees payable under certain circumstances contemplated by Party C and the Company and certain issues regarding debt defaults, restricted remedies and the debt waivers and consents. Following the telephone call, representatives of Cravath sent to the representatives of Party C’s counsel an initial draft of an exclusivity agreement.

Between August 23, 2022 and August 25, 2022, the Company and Party C tentatively agreed on certain terms, including the specific amounts of termination fees to be payable by the parties to each other under certain circumstances and representatives of Cravath and Party C’s counsel negotiated the terms of the exclusivity agreement, which was entered into by the Company and Party C on August 25, 2022 and provided Party C exclusivity until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 9, 2022 (which exclusivity period was subsequently extended by the Company several times, ultimately to October 4, 2022, in light of the parties’ then ongoing good faith negotiations of the Party C Merger Agreement as more fully described below).

On August 24, 2022, the Transaction Committee and Barclays executed Barclays’ engagement letter.

On August 25, 2022, representatives of Citi held a telephone call with representatives of PSP to inform PSP that the Company had entered into an exclusivity agreement with another bidder.

On September 2, 2022, the Transaction Committee held a meeting with representatives of Morris Nichols and Barclays in attendance, at which meeting the Transaction Committee (a) authorized Company management to consent to Party C and PSP discussing PSP potentially providing equity financing in connection with Party C’s proposed WholeCo transaction and (b) consented to representatives of Party C and Party C’s outside counsel having high-level discussions with certain members of Company management and their respective outside counsel, subject to compliance with the June 2022 Guidelines, regarding potential terms of rollover arrangements and post-closing employment arrangements that such individuals would consider entering into in connection with Party C’s proposed WholeCo transaction.

On September 7, 2022, members of Company management, Ashley Leeds, member of the Company Board and Transaction Committee, and representatives of Citi, Goldman Sachs and Morris Nichols, on the one hand, and representatives of Party C met for dinner in New York City for introductory purposes. During the rest of September 2022 and October 2022, Party C and Party C’s outside counsel, on the one hand, and certain members of Company management and their respective counsel, on the other hand, discussed the structure and principal terms of their potential rollover arrangements.

On September 9, 2022, the Company and Citi executed Citi’s engagement letter, and on September 11, 2022, the Company and Goldman Sachs executed Goldman Sachs’ engagement letter.

In September 2022 and October 2022, representatives of Cravath and Party C’s outside counsel negotiated and exchanged drafts of the Party C Merger Agreement, the debt waivers and consents, voting and support agreements to be entered into by certain Company Stockholders, the equity commitment letter for Party C’s equity financing and limited guarantee supporting Party C’s obligation to pay a termination fee to the Company under certain circumstances contemplated by the Party C Merger Agreement. During this

TABLE OF CONTENTS

period, the Company continued to negotiate the debt waivers and consents with its lenders and Party C negotiated equity financing with PSP and certain other co-investors, as well as debt financing with certain other financing sources.

On September 26, 2022, EQT submitted a non-binding written proposal to acquire the Company for $16.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash. EQT indicated to representatives of Citi that it had committed equity financing from its affiliated funds, but that it also had a desire to explore and evaluate potential co-investors.

On September 27, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath, Morris Nichols, Citi and Goldman Sachs in attendance, to discuss the latest developments with Party C and EQT. A representative of Citi noted that the Company had entered into an exclusivity agreement with Party C on the basis of the parties’ tentative agreement on a purchase price of $18.00 per share of Class A Common Stock, which had subsequently been extended until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 27, 2022 at that time; Company management and the Company Board’s advisors had been working with Party C to resolve open items in the Party C Merger Agreement; and Party C had indicated that its three co-investors (including PSP) had also substantially completed their review of the proposed WholeCo transaction. The representative of Citi also noted that EQT had submitted a proposal on September 26, 2022 to acquire the Company in a WholeCo transaction for $16.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash.

A representative of Cravath then summarized for the Company Board the open legal issues in the draft Party C Merger Agreement that was being negotiated with Party C, highlighted the extensive negotiation that had occurred with respect to provisions regarding debt defaults, restricted remedies and waiver agreements during the exclusivity period. The Company Board discussed whether the existing exclusivity arrangement with Party C should be terminated to permit the Company to explore a potential transaction with EQT. The Company Board considered that, even if the Company were to engage with EQT at this time, it would likely take EQT several additional weeks to advance due diligence and negotiation of definitive documentation to stages that were equivalent to what had been achieved with Party C to date at that time; the possibility that Party C may reduce its proposed purchase price to amount lower than $18.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash, even if it remained in exclusivity, in light of then current macroeconomic developments, highly volatile financial markets and uncertainty surrounding forecasted economic conditions in the near term and the long term, (each of which could negatively affect the Company’s financial performance); and that, even if the Company were not to engage directly in discussions with EQT at that time, the prospect of a competing bid could provide an avenue for accelerating the finalization of discussions with Party C and extracting additional concessions on certain key transaction points that remained open for negotiation.

After assessing the advantages and risks, the Company Board directed management to continue discussions with Party C under exclusivity until October 3, 2022 or October 4, 2022, subject to Company management’s discretion, and to try to use the prospect of termination of the exclusivity period to seek concessions from Party C on terms for the definitive documentation.

On September 29, 2022, on behalf of the Company, Cravath sent to Party C’s outside counsel a written notice of the Company’s election not to extend the exclusivity period with Party C beyond 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 4, 2022 and that termination of the exclusivity agreement would occur at such time.

On October 4, 2022, the Company Board held a meeting by videoconference with members of senior management of the Company and representatives of Cravath, Morris Nichols, Citi and Goldman Sachs in attendance. The Company Board discussed the latest developments with respect to Party C and EQT. Representatives of Citi noted that Company management had extended Party C’s exclusivity period until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 4, 2022 and that Citi had explained to Party C that if Party C were unable to agree to terms by such time, the Company Board would need to engage with other potential bidders. A representative of Cravath noted that Party C had not yet requested an extension of exclusivity and then proceeded to summarize for the Company Board the status of the open legal points in the definitive documentation. The Company Board discussed potential avenues to put further pressure on Party C to finalize terms that did not involve an extension of the exclusivity period and whether to engage with EQT upon the termination of the exclusivity period with Party C. At the conclusion of such discussion, the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company Board determined that the course of action that would be in the best interest of Company Stockholders would be for the Company to finalize a transaction with Party C at $18.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash and to grant Company management the authority to extend exclusivity with Party C, if so requested, at its discretion if Company management believed based on ongoing negotiations that such an extension would best position the Company to reach that objective. Additionally, the Company Board granted authority to management to reach out to EQT in the event that the exclusivity period with Party C terminated.

At 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 4, 2022, the exclusivity period with Party C expired and the exclusivity agreement terminated pursuant to its terms.

On October 6, 2022, representatives of Citi contacted and reengaged with EQT to discuss its revised proposal for a WholeCo transaction and to inform EQT that the Company had been exclusive with another party and that while the Company was still engaging with that party in good faith, such engagement was no longer on an exclusive basis. A representative of EQT indicated that EQT remained interested in pursuing a WholeCo transaction and would continue to engage in discussions with the Company and its financial and legal advisors regarding a WholeCo transaction, but that EQT was no longer prepared to proceed on the basis of a purchase price for the Company of $16.00 per share of Class A Common Stock.

On October 7, 2022, Party C informed the Company and Citi that it was declining to proceed with its proposal to acquire the Company in a WholeCo transaction for $18.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash, in part, due to deterioration in macroeconomic conditions that had occurred since the parties reached a tentative agreement on purchase price.

On October 23, 2022, a representative of EQT contacted representatives of Citi to schedule a telephone call to discuss EQT’s continued interest in pursuing a WholeCo transaction. Also on that date, representatives of Citi contacted Party A to inquire if it were interested in reengaging in discussions regarding a potential WholeCo transaction.

On October 24, 2022, the Company received from Party C a written proposal to acquire the Company in a WholeCo transaction for $12.00 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On November 3, 2022, Party A informed representatives of Citi that it was declining to submit a written proposal for a WholeCo transaction and that, although Party A continued to believe in the potential strategic rationale of a combination with the Company, Party A was not prepared to move forward with a transaction given its preference to use its stock as part of the transaction consideration and the then current market price of its stock.

On November 4, 2022, the Company received from EQT a revised written proposal to acquire the Company in a WholeCo transaction for $14.25 per share of Class A Common Stock in cash.

Thereafter, the Company Board discussed potential next steps to take with EQT, including with respect to if and when to permit EQT to have discussions with potential co-investors, and how such next steps could best be deployed to drive EQT to increase its proposed purchase price. Additionally, the Company Board again reviewed the relative merits and considerations of pursuing strategic alternatives other than a WholeCo transaction, including continuing as a stand-alone company, the potential purchase price at which the Company Board may agree to a WholeCo transaction given then prevailing market and macroeconomic conditions and whether in light of these various considerations it was advisable to continue the WholeCo transaction process given its potential to divert Company management’s time and attention from the day-to-day operation of the Company’s business and execution of its other strategic initiatives.

On November 8, 2022 and November 9, 2022, representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs, at the direction of the Company Board, held telephone calls with representatives of EQT to inform them that if EQT wished to proceed with a WholeCo transaction it would need to increase its proposed purchase price and that Citi and Goldman Sachs had identified a potential co-investor for EQT.

On November 9, 2022, representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs held a telephone call with representatives of PSP to inform them the Company was in discussions with a party other than Party C regarding a WholeCo transaction and that there may be a potential co-investment opportunity in connection therewith.

On November 29, 2022, the Company received from a potential strategic buyer that we refer to as “Party M” an unsolicited written indication of interest to acquire certain of the Company’s assets in a few specific geographies. Party M’s indication of interest in such asset sale transaction was unsolicited. The Company Board was notified of Party M’s indication of interest after receipt thereof. In light of the Company Board’s direction to continue engaging with EQT in connection with a WholeCo transaction, and given that Company management believed at that time that certain structural features of Party M’s proposed transaction would not constitute an attractive source of funding for the Company to execute on its strategy as a stand-alone company and would reduce the Company’s scale, the Company did not engage with Party M in connection with Party M’s proposed transaction.

After discussion and consideration of a variety of factors, including those discussed under “— Recommendation of the Company Board and Reasons for the Mergers”, the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee, resolved to proceed with the proposal from EQT and PSP and unanimously: (a) determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement

On March 1, 2023, at 4:01 p.m., Eastern time, after the closing of trading on Nasdaq, the Company issued a press release announcing the transaction.

Recommendation of the Company Board and Reasons for the Mergers

Recommendation of the Company Board

The Company Board unanimously recommends that you vote: (1) “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal; (2) “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal; and (3) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Reasons for the Mergers

As described in the section titled “— Background of the Mergers” beginning on page 38 of this proxy statement, in evaluating the Mergers, the Company Board held numerous meetings, consulted with and received the advice of representatives of the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, held discussions with the Company’s senior management and considered the business, assets and liabilities, results of operations, financial performance, strategic direction and prospects of the Company. In addition, the Transaction Committee separately evaluated the Mergers, held numerous meetings and consulted with and received the advice of representatives of the Transaction Committee’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor. In making its determination, the Company Board considered a number of factors that it believed supported its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and to recommend its adoption by Company Stockholders. In making its determination, the Transaction Committee considered a number of factors that it believed supported its conclusion that the Mergers were in the best interests of the Company and Company Stockholders, including its disinterested stockholders, and its decision to recommend that the Company Board adopt the Merger Agreement and the related transactions. These factors included, but were not limited to, the following (not necessarily in order of relative importance):

•

Merger Consideration; Premium to the Trading Price of Class A Common Stock. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the current and historical market prices of Class A Common Stock, including the market performance of Class A Common Stock relative to that of other participants in the Company’s industry and general market indices, and the fact that the Merger Consideration represented:

•

a premium of approximately 28.0% based on the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock of $11.72 on February 24, 2023, the last full trading day prior to reports that EQT was nearing a deal to acquire the Company;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

a premium of approximately 13.8% based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of Class A Common Stock for the 30 trading-day period ended February 24, 2023 (“30-day VWAP”) of $13.18;

•

a premium of approximately 30.8% based on the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock for the 90 trading-day period ended February 24, 2023 (“90-day VWAP”) of $11.46; and

•

a premium of approximately 74.6% based on the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock of $8.59 on November 8, 2022, the date Radius announced its third fiscal quarter earnings.

•

Risks Relating to Remaining a Standalone Company. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee evaluated the Company’s long-term strategic plan were it to remain an independent public company, as well as the significant risks associated with executing such plan. This evaluation included the Company Board’s and the Transaction Committee’s review of the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, earnings, prospects, competitive position and the nature of the industry in which the Company competes, including the potential impact (which cannot be quantified) of those factors on the trading price of the Company’s common stock. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee ultimately determined that the certainty of value provided by the acquisition of the Company by Parent for the Merger Consideration was more favorable to Company Stockholders than the risk-adjusted value of remaining an independent public company, after accounting for the risks and uncertainties that the Company would face if it continued to operate on a standalone public company basis, as described under the section of this proxy statement titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

•

Cash Consideration; Certainty of Value. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the fact that the Merger Consideration is all cash, which will provide Company Stockholders immediate certainty of value and liquidity for their shares of Company Capital Stock, enables Company Stockholders to realize value that has been created by Radius and does not expose them to any future risks related to the business or macroeconomic conditions, as compared to Radius remaining independent.

•

No Financing Condition and Committed Equity Financing. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the fact that the Mergers are not subject to a financing condition, the Sponsors have committed to make available and provide to Parent, pursuant to equity commitment letters, the full amount in cash necessary, together with available cash on hand at the Company of not less than $210,000,000 and the Rollover Amount, to pay the amounts required to be paid in connection with, or as a result of, the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee also considered the fact that the Sponsors have provided termination equity commitment letters in favor of Parent to fund its obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee that may become payable to the Company under certain circumstances, as described in more detail under the section of this proxy statement titled “— Financing of the Mergers”.

•

Benefits of an Acquisition by Financial Sponsors. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the possibility that an infrastructure fund or other private financial sponsor might be able to realize more value from the business than a public company buyer and thereby pay a higher price to acquire the Company, including the ability to absorb near-term dilution from (a) potential equity capital required to fund growth and (b) capital expenditures in favor of longer-term growth and to fund developments without having to rely on the volatility of equity capital markets. For a detailed discussion of the Company Board’s and the Transaction Committee’s assessment of potential counterparties, please see above under the heading titled “— Background of the Mergers”.

•

The Company’s Operating and Financial Condition and Prospects. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the Company’s operating and financial performance and its prospects, including certain prospective forecasts for the Company prepared by the Company’s senior management, which reflect an application of various assumptions of senior management. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the challenges that senior management face in creating prospective forecasts (due to the difficulties associated with predicting the amount

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of future acquisitions and the prices to be paid for such acquisitions) and the inherent uncertainty of achieving such prospective forecasts, as set forth under the heading titled “— Certain Financial Forecasts”, and that as a result, the Company’s actual financial results in future periods could differ materially from senior management’s forecasts.

•

Best Alternative for Maximizing Company Stockholder Value. After a review of a range of alternatives and discussions with management and the Company’s financial and legal advisors, the Company Board and the Transaction Committee determined that the Merger Consideration is more favorable to the Company Stockholders than the potential value that might result from other options available, including, but not limited to, remaining a standalone public company or pursuing a YieldCo transaction (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “— Background of the Mergers”). As part of these evaluations, the Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered an assessment of the Company’s business, assets, prospects, competitive position, historical and projected financial performance, short- and long-term capital needs and the nature of the industries in which the Company competes as well as the significant risks and uncertainties associated with remaining a standalone public company.

•

Dual-Track Process. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered its dual-track process for soliciting and responding to offers from third parties that were believed to be the most willing and able to pay the highest price for a minority investment in the case of a YieldCo transaction or the Company in the case of an acquisition of the Company, which included providing such parties with an opportunity to conduct due diligence and conduct management sessions with members of the Company’s management, as described in the section of this proxy statement titled “— Background of the Mergers”.

•

Citi’s, Goldman Sachs’ and Barclays’ Fairness Opinions and Related Financial Analyses. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee, as applicable, considered:

•

the financial analysis reviewed and discussed with the Company Board by representatives of Citi, and the oral opinion rendered by Citi to the Company Board, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated March 1, 2023, to the effect that, as of the date of Citi’s written opinion and based on and subject to various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by Citi as set forth in its written opinion, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders;

•

the financial analysis reviewed and discussed with the Company Board by representatives of Goldman Sachs, and the oral opinion rendered by Goldman Sachs to the Company Board, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated March 1, 2023, to the effect that, as of the date of Goldman Sachs’ written opinion and based on and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders (other than Parent and its affiliates) of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders; and

•

the financial analysis reviewed and discussed with the Transaction Committee by representatives of Barclays, and the oral opinion of Barclays, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the Transaction Committee that, as of the date of Barclays’ opinion and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions stated in its opinion, from a financial point of view, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than the executive officers of the Company and the Excluded Stockholders) in the Mergers is fair to such holders.

For more information, see the sections beginning on page 62 of this proxy statement titled “— Opinion of Citi”, “— Opinion of Goldman Sachs” and “— Opinion of Barclays”. The written opinions delivered by Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays are attached to this proxy statement as Annex B, as Annex C and Annex D, respectively.

•

Results of Process Conducted. The Company Board and Transaction Committee considered the fact that, prior to entry into the Merger Agreement with the Parent Parties, (a) the Company Board and the Transaction Committee explored various strategic alternatives reasonably available to the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company, including performing a “market check” in which representatives of Citi and Goldman Sachs, at the direction of the Company Board, solicited interest from 14 potential counterparties in a YieldCo transaction and 20 potential counterparties a WholeCo transaction, (b) the Company engaged in substantial negotiations with Party C (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “— Background of the Mergers”) on an exclusive basis in connection with an alternative WholeCo transaction and (c) none of the potential counterparties in a WholeCo transaction indicated or sustained initially indicated interest in acquiring the Company in a WholeCo transaction for more than $15.00 per share of Class A Common Stock. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee also considered the fact that the Company Board and the Transaction Committee had engaged experienced financial and legal advisors to advise the Company Board and the Transaction Committee during the process. Based on the results of that process, each of the Company Board and the Transaction Committee believed that the price offered by EQT and PSP was the highest that was reasonably attainable, particularly in light of then prevailing market and macroeconomic conditions and the results of the process conducted. For a detailed description of the “market check” and dual-track process undertaken to solicit interest from potential counterparties in a YieldCo transaction and a WholeCo transaction, please see above under the heading titled “—Background of the Mergers”.

•

Negotiation Process. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered its belief that, after careful review of the Company’s strategic alternatives, comprehensive public sale process and extensive negotiations, the Company obtained the highest price that the EQT and PSP were willing to pay for the Company. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the fact that the terms of the Mergers were the result of robust arm’s-length negotiations conducted by the Company, with the knowledge of and at the direction of the Company Board, with the assistance of experienced financial and legal advisors. For a detailed discussion of the negotiation process, please see above under the heading titled “— Background of the Mergers”.

•

Timing of Completion. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the anticipated timing of the consummation of the Mergers and concluded that, despite the number of regulatory approvals required in connection with the Mergers, the Mergers could be completed in a reasonable timeframe. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “— Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers”. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee also considered that the potential for closing the Mergers in a reasonable timeframe could reduce the period during which Radius’ business would be subject to the potential uncertainty of closing and related disruption.

•

Business Reputation of EQT and PSP. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the successful track record that EQT and PSP have developed in acquiring other companies and the consolidated financial strength and industry expertise of EQT and PSP.

•

Regulatory Matters. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the fact that under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Parent would be required to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, take all actions necessary to (a) secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under any applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws and obtain all consents under any antitrust and foreign investment laws that may be required by any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (b) resolve objections as may be asserted by any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority or other person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust and foreign investment laws that may be asserted by any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority, in each case subject to certain limitations, including Burdensome Conditions (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Efforts to Consummate the Mergers”). For a detailed description of regulatory matters, please see below under the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Efforts to Consummate the Mergers”.

•

Terms of the Merger Agreement. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including:

•

that the Company may, subject to certain conditions, furnish, pursuant to entry into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation”), confidential information with respect to the Company to third parties making an unsolicited proposal and participate in discussions or negotiations with such third parties regarding unsolicited proposals that are made prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, subject to certain limitations. For a detailed description of regulatory matters, please see below under the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation”;

•

the provision allowing the Company Board to change its recommendation that the Company Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval in specified circumstances relating to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation) or Intervening Event (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Change in Company Board Recommendation), subject to Parent’s right to terminate the Merger Agreement and receive payment of the Company Termination Fee;

•

the provision allowing the Company Board to terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a Superior Proposal, subject to certain conditions (including payment of the Company Termination Fee and certain rights of Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal);

•

the Company Board’s and the Transaction Committee’s belief, after discussion with their respective advisors, that the Company Termination Fee would not preclude a Superior Proposal from being made; and

•

a Parent Termination Fee that may be owed by Parent to the Company in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances described in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees — Termination Fee Payable by Parent”.

For a detailed discussion of the Merger Agreement, please see below under the section titled “The Merger Agreement”.

•

Appraisal Rights. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the availability of appraisal rights under the DGCL to Company Stockholders who comply with all of the required procedures for perfecting appraisal rights under the DGCL in connection with the Company Merger, including the fact that such stockholders will have the right to demand appraisal and payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery. For a detailed discussion of appraisal rights, please see below under the section titled “— Appraisal Rights”.

•

Specific Performance. Radius’ ability, under circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, to seek specific performance of the Parent Parties’ obligation to cause the Mergers to occur, to cause the equity financing to be funded and to prevent other breaches of the Merger Agreement.

•

Opportunity for Company Stockholders to Vote. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the fact that the Mergers would be subject to the Company Stockholders Approval, and Company Stockholders would be free to evaluate the Mergers and vote for or against the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting.

In the course of its deliberations, the Company Board and the Transaction Committee also considered a variety of risks and other countervailing factors related to the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, including the following material factors:

•

No Participation in Radius’ Future Growth or Earnings. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered that if the Mergers are consummated, Company Stockholders will receive the Merger Consideration in cash and will no longer have the opportunity to participate in any future earnings or growth of the Company or benefit from any potential future appreciation in the value of Company Capital Stock, including any value that could be achieved if the Company engages in future strategic or other transactions.

•

Closing Conditions. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the fact that there can be no assurance that all conditions to the parties’ obligations to consummate the Mergers will

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be satisfied even if the Merger Agreement is adopted by Company Stockholders, including the conditions related to (a) there being no event of default under certain of the Company’s existing debt facilities, (b) certain waivers of change of control provisions under certain of the debt agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries being in full force and effect at the Closing, including the possibility that such waivers fail to be in full force and effect at the Closing because any two of Mr. Berkman, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Goldstein have ceased to continue in their current capacities as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, respectively, at the Closing, and (c) the Company having a specified minimum cash balance and the Company or any of its subsidiaries having an additional specified amount of additional cash, in each case at the Closing. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee also considered the possibility that compliance with the minimum cash condition to the parties’ obligation to consummate the Mergers described above may limit the growth of the Company's business, depending on the availability to the Company of other sources of capital that are permitted under the terms of the Merger Agreement;

•

Disruption of the Company’s Business. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the effect of a public announcement of the Mergers on the Company’s operations, stock price and employees and its ability to attract and retain management, sales and other personnel while the Mergers are pending and the potential adverse effects on the financial and other results of the Company as a result of that disruption.

•

Non-Solicitation Covenant. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered that the Merger Agreement imposes restrictions on the Company’s solicitation of acquisition proposals from third parties and requires the Company to provide Parent with an opportunity to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement prior to the Company being able to terminate the Merger Agreement and accept a Superior Proposal, although the Company Board and the Transaction Committee believes this would not preclude another potential acquiror from submitting a proposal to acquire the Company.

•

Company Termination Fee. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the fact that the Company must pay Parent the Company Termination Fee if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including to accept a Superior Proposal, and that the amount of the Company Termination Fee is reasonable, would not likely deter competing bids and would not likely be required to be paid unless the Company entered into a more favorable transaction.

•

Interim Operating Covenants. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered that the Merger Agreement imposes restrictions on the conduct of the Company’s business prior to the consummation of the Mergers, requiring the Company to, subject to exceptions specified in the Merger Agreement, use, and cause its subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to (a) carry on its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, (b) preserve its and their business organizations substantially intact and preserve existing relations with key customers and other persons with whom the Company or its subsidiaries have significant business relationships and (c) keep available the services of their current officers and other key employees, which may delay or prevent the Company from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the Mergers (as more fully described under the section titled “The Merger Agreement — Covenants Regarding Conduct of Business by the Company Pending the Company Merger Effective Time”).

•

Risk Associated with Failure to Consummate the Mergers. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the possibility that the Mergers might not be consummated, including as a result of the potential failure of closing conditions related to (a) there being no event of default under certain of the Company’s existing debt facilities, (b) certain waivers of change of control provisions under certain of the debt agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries being in full force and effect at the Closing, including the possibility that such waivers fail to be in full force and effect at the Closing because any two of Mr. Berkman, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Goldstein have ceased to continue in their current capacities as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, respectively, at the Closing, and (c) the Company having a specified minimum cash balance and the Company or any of its subsidiaries having an additional specified amount of additional cash, in each case at the Closing, and the fact that if the Mergers are not consummated:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the trading price of Class A Common Stock may significantly decline to the extent that the market price of the Class A Common Stock reflects positive market assumptions that the Mergers will be completed, and the related benefits will be realized;

•

Radius or Parent will be required to pay a termination fee, including that we will be required to pay Parent the Company Termination Fee if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, and Parent will be required to pay us the Parent Termination Fee if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances;

•

Radius will have incurred significant transaction costs, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory costs that are not contingent on closing;

•

Radius will have diverted management time and resources towards the Mergers, for which we will have received little or no benefit if completion of the Mergers does not occur; and

•

Radius may be subject to reputational harm including relationships with customers and business partners due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the Mergers.

•

Regulatory Matters. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the antitrust and foreign investment approvals that would be required to consummate the Mergers, the prospects for receiving such approvals and the possibility that the Mergers might not be consummated (i) by the End Date (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Termination of the Merger Agreement”), (ii) by the expiration of certain waivers of change of control provisions under certain of the debt agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries that must be in full force and effect at the Closing or (iii) at all due to a failure to obtain such antitrust and foreign investment approvals.

•

Potential Future Stock Price. The possibility that, although the Mergers provide the Company Stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium to the price at which Class A Common Stock traded prior to the Company Board’s approval of the Merger Agreement, the price of Class A Common Stock might have increased in the future to a price greater than the Merger Consideration.

•

Timing Risks. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the amount of time it could take to complete the Mergers, including that completion of the Mergers depends on factors outside of Radius’ or Parent’s control (including the Company Stockholder Approval and certain governmental antitrust and foreign investment authorities) and the risk that the pendency of the Mergers for an extended period of time following the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement could divert Radius management’s attention and have an adverse impact on Radius, including its customer, distributor, supplier and other business relationships.

•

Litigation Risk. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered the risk of litigation in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Mergers.

•

Tax Treatment. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered that the receipt of the Merger Consideration payable in the Mergers will generally be taxable to Company Stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee believed that this was mitigated by the fact that the entire consideration payable in the Mergers would be cash, providing adequate cash for the payment of any taxes due.

•

Other Risks. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee considered various other risks associated with the Mergers and the business of the Company, as more fully described in the section of this proxy statement titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

The Company Board and the Transaction Committee concluded that the uncertainties, risks and potentially negative factors relevant to the Mergers were outweighed by the potential benefits of the Mergers.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Company Board and the Transaction Committee also considered that some of Radius’ directors and executive officers have financial interests that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Company Stockholders generally. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee were aware of these interests and considered them at the time it approved the Merger Agreement and made its recommendation to Company Stockholders. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “— Interests of Radius’ Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers”. The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Company Board and the Transaction Committee is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material positive and negative factors considered by the Company Board and the Transaction Committee. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and the complexity of these matters, neither the Company Board nor the Transaction Committee found it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination and recommendation. In addition, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. Neither the Company Board nor the Transaction Committee undertook to make any specific determination as to whether, or to what extent, any factor, or any particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate determination. The Company Board and the Transaction Committee based their respective recommendations on the totality of the information presented, including the factors described above. This explanation of the reasoning of the Company Board and the Transaction Committee and certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and should be read in light of the factors set forth in the section of this proxy statement titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Opinion of Citi

Radius retained Citi as its lead financial advisor in connection with a possible transaction involving Radius. In connection with Citi’s engagement, the Company Board requested that Citi evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Merger Consideration to be received by such holders pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. On March 1, 2023, at a meeting of the Company Board held to evaluate the proposed Mergers, Citi rendered to the Company Board an oral opinion, subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated March 1, 2023, to the effect that, as of the date of Citi’s written opinion and based on and subject to various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by Citi as set forth in its written opinion, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

The full text of Citi’s written opinion, dated March 1, 2023, to the Board, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by Citi in rendering its opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The summary of Citi’s opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Citi’s opinion. Citi’s opinion was rendered to the Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its evaluation of the proposed Mergers and was limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of Citi’s written opinion, to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Merger Consideration to be received by such holders pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Citi’s opinion did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the proposed Mergers. Citi’s opinion did not address the underlying business decision of Radius to effect or enter into the proposed Mergers, the relative merits of the proposed Mergers as compared to any alternative business strategies that might have existed for Radius or the effect of any other transaction in which Radius might have engaged or considered. Citi’s opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act on any matters relating to the proposed Mergers or otherwise.

In arriving at its opinion, Citi:

•

reviewed a draft, dated March 1, 2023, of the Merger Agreement;

•

held discussions with certain senior officers, directors and other representatives and advisors of Radius concerning the business, operations and prospects of Radius;

•

examined certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Radius as well as the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts and other information and data relating to Radius that were provided to or discussed with Citi by the management of Radius;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

reviewed the financial terms of the Mergers as set forth in the Merger Agreement in relation to, among other things: current and historical market prices and trading volumes of Class A Common Stock, the historical and projected earnings and other operating data of Radius, and the capitalization and financial condition of Radius;

•

at the direction of Radius, approached and held discussions with, third parties to solicit indications of interest in the possible acquisition of Radius; and

•

conducted such other analyses and examinations and considered such other information and financial, economic and market criteria as Citi deemed appropriate in arriving at its opinion.

The issuance of Citi’s opinion was authorized by Citi’s fairness opinion committee.

In rendering its opinion, Citi assumed and relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information and data publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Citi and upon the assurances of the management of Radius that they were not aware of any relevant information that was omitted or that remained undisclosed to Citi. With respect to financial forecasts and other information and data relating to Radius provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Citi, Citi was advised by the management of Radius, and Citi assumed, with the consent of the Company Board, that such financial forecasts and other information and data were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Radius as to, and are a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate, the future financial performance of Radius and the other matters covered thereby. Citi expressed no view or opinion as to any financial forecasts and other information or data (or underlying assumptions on which any such financial forecasts and other information or data are based) provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Citi.

Citi had assumed, with the consent of the Company Board, that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms, conditions and agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases for the Mergers, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Radius or the Mergers or that otherwise would be meaningful to Citi’s opinion or analysis. Representatives of Radius had advised Citi, and Citi further assumed, with the consent of the Company Board, that the final terms of the Merger Agreement would not vary materially from those set forth in the draft reviewed by Citi. Citi had not made or been provided with an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent, accrued, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise) of Radius or any other entity nor had Citi made any physical inspection of the properties or assets of Radius or any other entity. Citi had not evaluated the solvency or fair value of Radius or any other entity under any state, federal or other laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Citi also did not express any view or opinion as to the prices at which the Class A Common Stock or any other securities would trade or otherwise be transferable at any time, including following the announcement of the Mergers. Citi did not express any view or opinion with respect to accounting, tax, regulatory, legal or similar matters, including, without limitation, as to tax or other consequences of the Mergers or otherwise or changes in, or the impact of, accounting standards or tax and other laws, regulations and governmental and legislative policies affecting Radius or the Mergers (including the contemplated benefits thereof), and Citi relied, with the consent of the Company Board, upon the assessments of representatives of Radius as to such matters.

Citi’s opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of its written opinion, of the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, without regard to individual circumstances of holders of the Class A Common Stock that may distinguish such holders or the securities of Radius held by such holders, and did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Mergers, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Mergers and the Rollover Agreements and any consideration payable in connection therewith, the allocation of the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement among the holders of, or the treatment or cancellation for no consideration of, the various types of shares of capital stock of Radius or any of its subsidiaries, or any terms, aspects or implications of any agreement, arrangement or understanding to be entered into or amended or modified in connection with or

contemplated by the Mergers, or the amount thereof relative to the Merger Consideration or otherwise. Citi expressed no view as to, and Citi’s opinion did not address, the underlying business decision of Radius to effect or enter into the Mergers, the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for Radius or the effect of any other transaction in which Radius might engage or consider. Citi also expressed no view as to, and Citi’s opinion did not address, the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation or other consideration to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Mergers, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger Consideration or otherwise. Citi’s opinion is necessarily based upon information available to Citi, and financial, stock market and other conditions and circumstances existing and disclosed to Citi, as of the date of its written opinion. Although subsequent developments may affect Citi’s opinion, Citi has no obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. As the Company Board was aware, the credit, financial and stock markets, the industries in which Radius operates and the securities of Radius have experienced and may continue to experience volatility and Citi expressed no view or opinion as to any potential effects of such volatility on Radius or the Mergers (including the contemplated benefits thereof).

In preparing its opinion, Citi performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses, including those described below. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Citi arrived at its opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and factors assessed as a whole, and it did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis for purposes of its opinion.

In its analyses, Citi considered industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters existing as of the date of its written opinion, many of which are beyond the control of Radius. No company, business or transaction reviewed is identical or directly comparable to Radius or the Mergers and an evaluation of these analyses is not entirely mathematical; rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading, acquisition or other values of the companies, businesses or transactions reviewed or the results of any particular analysis.

The estimates used by Citi for purposes of its analyses and the valuation ranges resulting from any particular analysis were not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold or acquired. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Citi’s analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

Citi was not requested to, and it did not, recommend or determine the specific consideration payable in the proposed Mergers. The type and amount of consideration payable in the proposed Mergers were determined through negotiations Radius, on the one hand, and Parent and its affiliates, on the other hand, and Radius’ decision to enter into the Merger Agreement was solely that of the Board. Citi’s opinion was only one of many factors considered by the Company Board in its evaluation of the proposed Mergers and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Company Board or the management of Radius with respect to the proposed Mergers, the Merger Consideration or any other aspect of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Financial Analyses

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses prepared for and reviewed with the Company Board in connection with Citi’s opinion, dated March 1, 2023, to the Company Board. The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by, and underlying the opinion of, Citi, nor does the order of the financial analyses described represent the relative importance or weight given to those financial analyses by Citi. Certain financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the financial

TABLE OF CONTENTS

analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of such financial analyses. Future results may be different from those described and such differences may be material. Approximate implied equity value per share reference ranges derived from the financial analyses described below and other per share ranges presented for reference purposes only were rounded to the nearest $0.05, except for data relating to intraday trading share prices. Except as otherwise noted, financial data utilized for Radius in the financial analyses described below were based on the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts as indicated and other information and data relating to Radius provided to or discussed with Citi and approved for Citi’s use by the Company Board and as further summarized in the section titled “— Certain Financial Forecasts” beginning on page 81.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Citi conducted a discounted cash flow analysis of Radius using the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts (as defined in the section of this proxy statement titled “— Certain Financial Forecasts”), in which Citi calculated the estimated present value (as of December 31, 2022) of the standalone unlevered after-tax free cash flows that Radius was forecasted to generate during calendar year 2023 through calendar year 2032 as reflected in the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts. For purposes of this analysis, stock-based compensation was treated as a cash expense. Based on its professional judgment and experience, Citi calculated terminal values for Radius at the end of the projection period by applying a selected range of perpetuity growth rates of 3.00% to 3.50% (which Citi derived by utilizing its professional judgment and experience and taking into consideration, among other factors, Radius management’s views regarding future growth, as well as long-term growth expectations for the industry and trend in the overall economy generally) to the standalone unlevered after-tax fee cash flows of Radius in the terminal year as reflected in the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts. Citi then discounted to present value (as of December 31, 2022) the standalone unlevered after-tax free cash flows and implied estimated terminal value using discount rates ranging from 7.90% to 8.60%, derived from a calculation of the weighted average cost of capital of Radius, which Citi performed utilizing the capital asset pricing model with inputs that Citi determined were relevant based on publicly available data and Citi’s professional judgment. This analysis indicated an implied firm value reference range for Radius of approximately $1,913 million to $3,072 million. From this range of implied firm values, Citi subtracted Radius’ net debt as of December 31, 2022 (calculated as debt less cash) and the present value as of December 31, 2022 of Series A Founder Preferred Stock implied annual dividends calculated by Citi based on theoretical future prices for the shares of Class A Common Stock calculated by Citi at a cap rate of 5.9% as described in the section below titled “— Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis” and discounted to present value using discount rates ranging from 7.90% to 8.60%, and divided the results by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of February 28, 2023, calculated using the treasury stock method, based on information provided by Radius management. This analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for Radius, as compared to the Merger Consideration:

Implied per Share Equity Value Reference Range			Merger Consideration
$5.95 – $15.95				$	15.00

Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis

Citi performed an analysis to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2022 based on theoretical future prices calculated by Citi for the shares of Class A Common Stock based on the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts. Citi derived a range of theoretical future values per share for the shares of Class A Common Stock as of December 31 of each of calendar years 2023 through 2032 by applying illustrative cap rates of 5.2% to 5.9% to estimates of the adjusted annualized in-place rent of Radius for each of calendar years 2023 through 2032, as reflected in the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts. The cap rates used by Citi were derived based on Citi’s professional judgment and experience and reflected the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively, of Radius’ trading cap rates on annualized in-place rent during the twelve-month period ended February 24, 2023. By applying a discount rate of 12.1%, reflecting a mid-point estimate of Radius’ cost of equity, Citi discounted to present value as of December 31, 2022 the theoretical future values per share it derived for Radius as described above, to yield a range of illustrative present values per share of Class A Common Stock. This

analysis indicated the following approximate implied per share equity value reference range for Radius, as compared to the Merger Consideration.

Other Information

Citi observed certain other information with respect to Radius that was not considered part of its financial analyses with respect to its opinion, but was noted for reference purposes only, including the following:

•

Historical Stock Trading. Citi reviewed historical intraday trading prices of Class A Common Stock for the 52-week period ended February 24, 2023, which indicated an overall low to high intraday trading share price range of $7.97 to $16.52 per share over the period.

•

Precedent Premiums Paid. Citi reviewed publicly available data relating to premiums paid in all-cash U.S. publicly traded company transactions announced between 2012 and 2022, with transaction values between $1 billion and $10 billion (excluding transactions involving financial institutions as targets). Citi applied a selected range of one-day premiums of 20% to 40% (derived, based on Citi’s professional judgment and experience, from the premiums paid in such transactions over the target companies involved in such transactions unaffected closing stock price) to (a) to the closing price of Class A Common Stock of $11.72 per share on February 24, 2023, and (ii) to the closing price of Class A Common Stock of $8.59 per share on November 8, 2022, the closing price prior to Radius’ third fiscal quarter earnings announcement date, imply approximate per share equity value reference ranges for Radius of (i) $14.05 to $16.40 per share, and (ii) $10.30 to $12.05 per share, respectively.

Miscellaneous

Radius has agreed to pay Citi for its services in connection with the Mergers an aggregate fee of approximately $21,300,000, of which $2,500,000 was payable upon delivery of Citi’s opinion to the Company Board and the remainder is payable contingent upon consummation of the Mergers. The Company may pay Citi an additional discretionary fee of up to $5,000,000 based upon the Company Board’s assessment of Citi’s work in connection with its engagement. In addition, Radius agreed to reimburse Citi for Citi’s reasonable expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, and to indemnify Citi and related parties against certain liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, arising out of Citi’s engagement.

As the Company Board was aware, although Citi and its affiliates have not provided investment banking, commercial banking, capital raising or other similar financial services to Radius and/or its affiliates unrelated to the proposed Mergers during the past two years for which Citi and its affiliates received compensation, Citi and its affiliates in the future may provide such services to Radius and/or its affiliates, for which services Citi and its affiliates would expect to receive compensation. As the Company Board was also aware, Citi and its affiliates in the past have provided, and currently are providing, investment banking, commercial banking and other similar financial services to EQT and its affiliates and controlled portfolio companies, for which services Citi and its affiliates have received and expect to receive compensation, including, without limitation, during the two-year period prior to the date of Citi’s written opinion, having acted as financial advisor in connection with certain merger and acquisition transactions involving controlled portfolio companies of EQT, as bookrunner or arranger in connection with certain bond issuances, loans and credit facilities of controlled portfolio companies of EQT, as ratings advisor to a controlled portfolio company of EQT and as lender in connection with certain loans of EQT. For the services described above for EQT and its affiliates, Citi and its affiliates received, during the two-year period prior to the date of Citi’s written opinion, aggregate fees of approximately $12 million, as determined by Citi based on its books and records. As the Company Board was also aware, Citi and its affiliates in the past have provided, and currently are providing, investment banking, commercial banking and other similar financial services to PSP and its affiliates and controlled portfolio companies, for which services Citi and its affiliates have received and expect to receive compensation, including, without limitation, during the two-year period prior to the date of Citi’s written opinion, having acted as joint lead arranger and bookrunner in connection with certain bond offerings and as lender in connection with certain loans of PSP and its affiliates. For the services described

TABLE OF CONTENTS

above for PSP and its affiliates, Citi and its affiliates received, during the two-year period prior to the date of Citi’s written opinion, aggregate fees of approximately $1 million, as determined by Citi based on its books and records. In the ordinary course of Citi’s business, Citi and its affiliates may actively trade or hold the securities of Radius for Citi’s own account or for the account of Citi’s customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, Citi and its affiliates (including Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates) may maintain relationships with Radius and its affiliates.

Radius selected Citi to act as lead financial advisor in connection with the proposed Mergers based on Citi’s reputation, experience and familiarity with Radius and its businesses. Citi is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that regularly engages in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.

Opinion of Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs rendered its opinion to the Company Board that, as of March 1, 2023 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders (other than Parent and its affiliates) of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

In connection with rendering the opinion described above and performing its related financial analyses, Goldman Sachs reviewed, among other things:

•

the Merger Agreement;

•

annual reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Radius for the two years ended December 31, 2021;

•

Radius’ Registration Statement on Form S-4, including the prospectus contained therein dated October 5, 2020 relating, among other things, to the issuance of Class A Common Stock;

•

certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Radius and certain other communications from Radius to Company Stockholders;

•

certain publicly available research analyst reports for Radius; and

•

certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company prepared by its management, as approved by the Company for Goldman Sachs’ use, including the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts, (referenced in this section of the proxy statement titled “— Opinion of Goldman Sachs” as the “Forecasts”). See the section titled “— Certain Financial Forecasts”.

Goldman Sachs also held discussions with members of the senior management of Radius regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of Radius; reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the shares of Class A Common Stock; compared certain financial and stock market information for Radius with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the technology, media and telecommunications (“TMT”) industry; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as it deemed appropriate.

For purposes of rendering this opinion, Goldman Sachs, with the consent of the Company Board, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, it, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. In that regard, Goldman Sachs assumed with the consent

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the Company Board that the Forecasts were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best then currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Radius. Goldman Sachs did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or other off-balance sheet assets and liabilities) of Radius or any of its subsidiaries and it was not furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Goldman Sachs assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Mergers will be obtained without any adverse effect on the expected benefits of the Mergers in any way meaningful to its analysis. Goldman Sachs also assumed that the Mergers will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to its analysis.

Goldman Sachs’ opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Radius to engage in the Mergers or the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Radius; nor does it address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. Goldman Sachs’ opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view to the holders (other than Parent and its affiliates) of Class A Common Stock, as of the date of the opinion, of the Merger Consideration to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Goldman Sachs’ opinion does not express any view on, and does not address, any other term or aspect of the Merger Agreement or the Mergers or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the Merger Agreement or entered into or amended in connection with the Mergers, including the allocation of the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement among the holders of, or the cancellation for no consideration of, the various types of shares of Company Capital Stock or any of its subsidiaries, the OpCo Merger and the Rollover Agreements and any consideration payable in connection therewith, and the fairness of the Mergers to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other class of securities (including the Series A Founder Preferred Stock, the OpCo Common Units and the Rollover Equity), creditors, or other constituencies of Radius; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of Radius, or class of such persons in connection with the Mergers, whether relative to the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders (other than Parent and its affiliates) of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement or otherwise. Goldman Sachs’ opinion was necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Goldman Sachs as of, the date of its opinion and Goldman Sachs assumed no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date of its opinion. In addition, Goldman Sachs does not express any opinion as to the prices at which shares of Class A Common Stock will trade at any time, as to the potential effects of volatility in the credit, financial and stock markets on Radius, Parent or the Mergers, or as to the impact of the Mergers on the solvency or viability of Radius or Parent or the ability of Radius or Parent to pay their respective obligations when they come due. Goldman Sachs’ advisory services and opinion were provided for the information and assistance of the Company Board in connection with its consideration of the Mergers and such opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of Class A Common Stock should vote or act with respect to such Mergers or any other matter. Goldman Sachs’ opinion was approved by a fairness committee of Goldman Sachs.

Summary of Material Financial Analysis

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Goldman Sachs to the Company Board in connection with rendering the opinion described above. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Goldman Sachs, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Goldman Sachs. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the full text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of Goldman Sachs’ financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before February 28, 2023, the last trading day before the public announcement of the Mergers, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Using the Forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis on Radius to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this

TABLE OF CONTENTS

analysis, stock-based compensation was treated as a cash expense. Using the mid-year convention for discounting cash flows and discount rates ranging from 7.9% to 8.7%, reflecting estimates of Radius’ weighted average cost of capital, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value, as of December 31, 2022, (i) estimates of unlevered free cash flow for Radius for the calendar years 2023 through 2032, as reflected in the Forecasts and (ii) a range of illustrative terminal values for Radius, which were calculated by applying terminal growth rates ranging from 3.0% to 3.5%, to a terminal year estimate of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Radius, as reflected in the Forecasts (which analysis implied annualized in-place rent yield of 5.5% to 7.1%). The range of perpetuity growth rates was estimated by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account the Forecasts and market expectations regarding long-term real growth of gross domestic product and inflation. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rates by application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), which requires certain company-specific inputs, including Radius’ target capital structure weightings, the cost of long-term debt, after-tax yield on permanent excess cash, if any, future applicable marginal cash tax rate and a beta for Radius, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally.

Goldman Sachs derived a range of illustrative enterprise values for Radius by adding the ranges of present values it derived above. Goldman Sachs then derived a range of illustrative equity values for Radius by subtracting from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for Radius (i) the net debt of Radius as of December 31, 2022 (calculated as debt less cash), as provided and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by the management of Radius and (ii) the present value, as of December 31, 2022, of Series A Founder Preferred Stock implied annual dividends calculated by Goldman Sachs based on theoretical future prices for the shares of Class A Common Stock which were calculated by Goldman Sachs using the Forecasts by applying a constant cap rate of 6.2% to estimates of Radius’ annualized in-place rent for each of calendar years 2022 through 2026 using the methodology described in the section below titled “—Illustrative Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis” and using discount rates ranging from 7.9% to 8.7%, reflecting estimates of Radius’ weighted average cost of capital. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of February 28, 2023, as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by the management of Radius, using the treasury stock method, to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Class A Common Stock ranging from $5.35 to $16.11.

Illustrative Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis

Using the Forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative analysis of the implied present value of an illustrative future value per share of Class A Common Stock. For this analysis, Goldman Sachs calculated the implied enterprise value of Radius as of December 31 for each of calendar years 2022 through 2025, by applying illustrative cap rates ranging from 4.8% to 6.2% to estimates of Radius’ annualized in-place rent for each of the calendar years 2022 through 2025. This illustrative range of cap rates was derived by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account current and historical cap rates on annualized in-place rent for Radius. Goldman Sachs then subtracted the net debt of Radius for each of calendar years 2022 through 2025 (calculated as debt less cash), as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by the management of Radius, from the respective implied enterprise values in order to derive a range of illustrative equity values as of December 31 for Radius for each of calendar years 2022 through 2025. Goldman Sachs then divided these implied equity values by the projected year-end number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock each of calendar years 2022 through 2025, calculated using information provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs’ use by the management of Radius, to derive a range of implied future values per share of Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this analysis, both stock-based compensation expense and the Series A Founder Preferred Stock annual dividends were treated as share issuances.

Goldman Sachs then discounted these implied future equity values per share of Class A Common Stock to December 31, 2025 using an illustrative discount rate of 11%, reflecting an estimate of Radius’ cost of equity. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rate by application of the CAPM, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including a beta for the company, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. This analysis resulted in a range of illustrative present values per share of Class A Common Stock of $11.42 to $19.51.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Premia Paid Analysis

Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed, using publicly available information, the acquisition premia for all-cash acquisition transactions announced during the period from January 1, 2013 through February 24, 2023 involving a public company in the TMT sector based in the United States as the target where the disclosed enterprise value for the transaction was greater than $1 billion. For the entire period, using publicly available information, Goldman Sachs calculated the 25th percentile and the 75th percentile premia of the price paid in the 149 transactions relative to the target’s last undisturbed closing stock price prior to announcement of the transaction and the target’s highest closing stock price during the 52-week period prior to the date of the target’s last undisturbed closing stock price. With respect to the target’s last undisturbed closing stock price prior to the announcement of the transaction, this analysis indicated an overall premium of 28%, and a 25th percentile premium of 19% and 75th percentile premium of 46% across the entire period. With respect to the target’s last undisturbed 52-week high closing stock price prior to the announcement of the transaction, this analysis indicated an overall premium of 6%, and a 25th percentile premium of negative 5% and 75th percentile premium of 17% across the entire period. Using this analysis, Goldman Sachs applied a reference range of illustrative premia of 19% to 46% to the undisturbed closing price per share of Class A Common Stock of $11.72 as of February 24, 2023 and calculated a range of implied equity values per share of Class A Common Stock of $13.95 to $17.11.

Historical Stock Trading Analysis

Goldman Sachs reviewed the historical trading prices for shares of Class A Common Stock for the period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending February 28, 2023. In addition, Goldman Sachs analyzed the Merger Consideration to be paid to holders (other than Parent and its affiliates) of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement in relation to (i) the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock on February 24, 2023, (ii) the high and low closing price per share of Class A Common Stock for the 52-week period ended February 24, 2023, (iii) the 30-day VWAP, (iv) the 90-day VWAP, and (v) the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock on November 8, 2022, the date Radius announced its third fiscal quarter earnings.

This analysis indicated that the price per share to be paid to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement represented:

•

a premium of approximately 28.0% based on the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock of $11.72 on February 24, 2023;

•

a premium of approximately 13.8% based on the 30-day VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock of $13.18;

•

a premium of approximately 30.8% based on the 90-day VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock of $11.46; and

•

a premium of approximately 74.6% based on the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock of $8.59 on November 8, 2022, the date Radius announced its third fiscal quarter earnings.

General

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs’ opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Goldman Sachs made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to Radius or the contemplated transaction.

Goldman Sachs prepared these analyses for purposes of Goldman Sachs’ providing its opinion to the Company Board as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders (other than Parent and its affiliates) of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices

TABLE OF CONTENTS

at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of Radius, Goldman Sachs or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasts.

The Merger Consideration was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between Radius and Parent and was approved by the Company Board. Goldman Sachs did not recommend any specific amount of consideration to Radius or the Company Board or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Mergers.

As described above, Goldman Sachs’ opinion to the Company Board was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Company Board in making its determination to approve the Merger Agreement. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Goldman Sachs in connection with the fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Goldman Sachs attached as Annex C.

Goldman Sachs and its affiliates are engaged in advisory, underwriting, lending and financing, principal investing, sales and trading, research, investment management and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Goldman Sachs and its affiliates and employees, and funds or other entities they manage or in which they invest or have other economic interests or with which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of Radius, Parent, any of their respective affiliates and third parties, including Centerbridge, a significant shareholder of Radius, EQT and PSP, each of which is delivering to Parent, through an affiliate, in the case of EQT, and directly, in the case of PSP, an equity commitment letter and a termination equity financing letter, or any of their respective affiliates and portfolio companies, or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the Mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Goldman Sachs has acted as financial advisor to Radius in connection with, and have participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Mergers. Goldman Sachs expect to receive fees for its services in connection with the Mergers, all of which are contingent upon consummation of the Mergers, and Radius has agreed to reimburse certain of its expenses arising, and indemnify Goldman Sachs against certain liabilities that may arise, out of its engagement. Goldman Sachs has provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to Radius and/or its affiliates from time to time for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as agent in connection with certain loans of AP WIP ArcCo Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Radius, in December 2021; as bookrunner with respect to a private placement of Radius’ 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2026, in September 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”); and as placement agent with respect to a private placement of Class A Shares of Radius, in May 2021. During the two-year period ended March 1, 2023, Goldman Sachs has recognized compensation for financial advisory and/or underwriting services provided by Goldman Sachs Investment Banking to Radius and/or its affiliates of approximately $3 million, as determined by Goldman Sachs based on its books and records.

Goldman Sachs has also provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to PSP and/or its affiliates and portfolio companies from time to time for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has received, and may receive, compensation. During the two-year period ended March 1, 2023, Goldman Sachs has recognized compensation for financial advisory and/or underwriting services provided by Goldman Sachs Investment Banking to PSP and/or its affiliates of approximately $27 million, as determined by Goldman Sachs based on its books and records. Goldman Sachs may also in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to Radius, Centerbridge, EQT, PSP and their respective affiliates and, as applicable, portfolio companies, for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking may receive compensation. Affiliates of Goldman Sachs also may have co-invested with Centerbridge, EQT, and/or PSP and their respective affiliates from time to time and may have invested in limited partnership units of affiliates of Centerbridge, EQT and/or PSP from time to time and may do so in the future.

As the Company Board was aware, concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Radius entered into the Capped Call Transactions (as defined below in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Company Indebtedness”) with Goldman Sachs and three other counterparties (which we refer to, collectively, as the “capped call counterparties”), each acting as principal for its own account. The Capped Call Transactions consisted of the purchase by Radius of capped call options with respect to, collectively, approximately 11,693,201 shares of Class A Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes (at the initial conversion rate of 44.2087 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 in principal amount of the Convertible Notes) (with 40% purchased from Goldman Sachs). The Convertible Notes had an initial strike price equal to $22.62 per share of Class A Common Stock, subject to an initial cap price of $34.80 per share of Class A Common Stock. As of May [•], 2023 100% of the Capped Call Transactions remain outstanding, with a strike price of $22.62 per share of Class A Common Stock and a cap price of $34.80 per share of Class A Common Stock.

The Capped Call Transactions were intended to offset a portion of the potential dilutive effect on Company Stockholders of the conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or any potential cash payment in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes that Radius may make in connection with a cash settlement of the Convertible Notes, in each case, up to the cap price. The Capped Call Transactions, upon the exercise thereof, generally require the capped call counterparties to deliver to Radius a number of shares of Class A Common Stock (and/or in certain circumstances, at Radius’ election, cash) determined based on the excess, if any, of the lower of the cap price and the price of the shares of Class A Common Stock at that time (determined over a period specified in the Capped Call Transactions) over the strike price per share of Class A Common Stock.

The Capped Call Transactions may be adjusted, exercised, cancelled and/or terminated in accordance with their terms in connection with certain events, including the announcement or consummation of the Mergers, which could result in a payment from Goldman Sachs to Radius. In particular, under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, each of Goldman Sachs and the other capped call counterparties, each acting separately as calculation agent under the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party, is entitled in certain circumstances to make adjustments to the cap price of the call options to reflect the economic effect of the announcement of such events (including the Mergers) on the Capped Call Transactions. In addition, each of Goldman Sachs and the other capped call counterparties may, each acting separately as the calculation agent, determining party or otherwise as principal under the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party, determine such adjustments in respect of such Capped Call Transactions in accordance with their terms, including on or following consummation or abandonment of such events. In its capacity as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

calculation agent, all actions or exercises of judgment by Goldman Sachs pursuant to the terms of the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party must be performed in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner.

As a result of the Capped Call Transactions, the capped call counterparties are expected to have market exposure to the price of the shares of Class A Common Stock. It is ordinary practice of the capped call counterparties to engage in hedging activities to limit their respective market exposure to the price of the stock underlying privately negotiated equity derivative transactions with issuers of such stock, such as the Capped Call Transactions. In connection with the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party, Goldman Sachs (and its affiliates) have engaged, and will continue to engage, in accordance with applicable law in hedging and other market transactions (which may include the entering into or unwinding of various derivative transactions with respect to Class A Common Stock) that are generally intended to substantially neutralize Goldman Sachs’ exposure as a result of the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party to changes in the price per share of Class A Common Stock. Such hedging activity is at Goldman Sachs’ own risk and may result in a gain or loss to Goldman Sachs that may be greater than or less than the initial expected contractual benefit to Goldman Sachs under the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party. The amount of any such gain or loss will not be known until the applicable Capped Call Transactions have been exercised, expired or terminated in accordance with their terms and Goldman Sachs shall have completed all of its hedge unwind activities. To mitigate the exposure from the Capped Call Transactions, as of May [•], 2023, Goldman Sachs held a net long economic position of approximately one million shares of Class A Common Stock and was long and short a number of various other options on Class A Common Stock.

Goldman Sachs provided to management of Radius, for the information of the Company Board, materials that summarized, based on theoretical models, the potential effects of the announcement and of the consummation of an acquisition of Radius on the Capped Call Transactions to which Goldman Sachs is a counterparty. The materials included preliminary illustrative analyses by Goldman Sachs’ Investment Banking Division for a range of stated assumptions regarding takeout prices for shares of Class A Common Stock and volatilities, as well as based on other reasonable assumptions. In accordance with industry practice, Goldman Sachs maintains customary institutional information barriers reasonably designed to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information by personnel in its Investment Banking Division to the personnel in its Securities Division who are undertaking hedging and other market transactions with respect to Goldman Sachs’ Capped Call Transactions. In connection with the preparation of presentations to senior management of Radius and the Company Board, personnel in Goldman Sachs’ Investment Banking Division, including the representatives of Goldman Sachs who have advised Radius in connection with the Mergers, from time to time, have received or may receive input from personnel in Goldman Sachs’ Securities Division into how to model, or reports of historical measures or estimates of, Goldman Sachs’ and/or Goldman Sachs’ Investment Banking Division’s profit and/or loss over certain measurement periods related to the Capped Call Transactions.

Goldman Sachs has advised Radius that as of May [•], 2023, Goldman Sachs expects to realize a net gain of up to approximately $7 million with respect to the Capped Call Transactions as a result of the merger, after giving effect to its hedging activities based on the ordinary hedging practices described above and based on a range of stated assumptions, including volatilities and other reasonable assumptions. The amount of any such gain will not be known until the Capped Call Transactions have been exercised, expired or terminated in accordance with their terms and Goldman Sachs and its affiliates have completed all of their unwind activities, and such amount may differ from the estimates provided above.

The indenture governing the Convertible Notes and the forms of confirmations containing the terms of the Capped Call Transactions were included as exhibits to Radius’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 7, 2021, which contains additional disclosure regarding the Convertible Notes and a description of the Capped Call Transactions. All references in this section of this proxy statement to share counts, conversion prices, cap prices and strike prices are subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the terms of the confirmations relating to the Capped Call Transactions.

The Company Board selected Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor because it is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the Mergers. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated September 11, 2022, Radius engaged Goldman Sachs to act as its

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial advisor in connection with the contemplated transaction. The engagement letter between Radius and Goldman Sachs provides for a transaction fee of $8,000,000 all of which is contingent upon consummation of the Mergers. In addition, Radius has agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for certain of its expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and to indemnify Goldman Sachs and related persons against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Opinion of Barclays

The Transaction Committee engaged Barclays to act as its financial advisor in connection with evaluating a strategic transaction outside of the Company’s ordinary course of business, including a possible sale of the Company, pursuant to an engagement letter dated August 24, 2022. On March 1, 2023, Barclays rendered its oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the Transaction Committee that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions stated in its opinion, from a financial point of view, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than the executive officers of the Company and the Excluded Stockholders) in the Mergers is fair to such holders.

The full text of Barclays’ written opinion is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement. Barclays’ written opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations upon the review undertaken by Barclays in rendering its opinion. You are encouraged to read the opinion carefully in its entirety. The following is a summary of Barclays’ opinion and the methodology that Barclays used to render its opinion. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

Barclays’ opinion, the issuance of which was approved by Barclays’ Valuation and Fairness Opinion Committee, is addressed to the Transaction Committee, addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than the executive officers of the Company and the Excluded Stockholders) in the Mergers to such holders and does not constitute a recommendation to any Company Stockholder as to how such holder should vote with respect to the Mergers or any other matter. The terms of the Mergers were determined through arm’s-length negotiations between the Company and Parent and were recommended by the Transaction Committee and unanimously approved by the Company Board. Barclays did not recommend any specific form of consideration to the Transaction Committee or the Company or that any specific form of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Mergers. Barclays was not requested to address, and its opinion does not in any manner address, the Company’s underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Mergers, the likelihood of the consummation of the Mergers, or the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any other transaction or business strategy in which the Company may engage. In addition, Barclays expressed no opinion on, and its opinion does not in any manner address, the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Mergers, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by the Company Stockholders in the Mergers. No limitations were imposed by the Transaction Committee upon Barclays with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by it in rendering its opinion.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays, among other things:

•

reviewed and analyzed the Merger Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2023, and the specific terms of the Mergers;

•

reviewed and analyzed publicly available information concerning the Company that Barclays believed to be relevant to its analysis, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022;

•

reviewed and analyzed financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Company furnished to Barclays by the Company, including financial projections of the Company prepared by management of the Company;

•

reviewed and analyzed a trading history of the Company’s Class A Common Stock from October 5, 2020 to February 28, 2023 and a comparison of that trading history with those of other companies that Barclays deemed relevant;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

reviewed and analyzed a comparison of the historical financial results and present financial condition of the Company with those of other companies that Barclays deemed relevant;

•

had discussions with management of the Company concerning its business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects; and

•

has undertaken such other studies, analyses and investigations as Barclays deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by Barclays without any independent verification of such information (and had not assumed responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information). Barclays also relied upon the assurances of management of the Company that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the financial projections of the Company, upon the advice of the Company, Barclays assumed that such projections were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the Company as to the Company’s future financial performance and that the Company would perform substantially in accordance with such projections. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to any such projections or estimates or the assumptions on which they were based. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not conduct a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of the Company and did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company. In addition, Barclays was not authorized by the Transaction Committee to solicit, and did not solicit, any indications of interest from any third party with respect to the purchase of all or a part of the Company’s business. Barclays’ opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of its opinion. Barclays assumed no responsibility for updating or revising its opinion based on events or circumstances that may have occurred after the date of its opinion.

Barclays assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and all the agreements related thereto. Barclays also assumed, upon the advice of the Company, that all material governmental, regulatory and third-party approvals, consents and releases for the Mergers would be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. Barclays did not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the Mergers, nor did Barclays’ opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which Barclays understood the Company had obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals.

In connection with rendering its opinion, Barclays performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses as summarized below. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not ascribe a specific range of values to the shares of Class A Common Stock but rather made its determination as to fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than the executive officers of the Company and the Excluded Stockholders) in the Mergers to such holders on the basis of various financial and comparative analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial and comparative analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not attribute any particular weight to any single analysis or factor considered by it but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by it and in the context of the circumstances of the particular transaction. Accordingly, Barclays believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, as considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.

Summary of Material Financial Analyses

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses used by Barclays in preparing its opinion to the Transaction Committee. The summary of Barclays’ analyses and reviews provided below is not a

TABLE OF CONTENTS

complete description of the analyses and reviews underlying Barclays’ opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of analysis and review and the application of those methods to particular circumstances, and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to summary description.

For the purposes of its analyses and reviews, Barclays made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company or any other parties to the Mergers. No company, business or transaction considered in Barclays’ analyses and reviews is identical to the Company, OpCo, Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or the Mergers, and an evaluation of the results of those analyses and reviews is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses and reviews involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies, businesses or transactions considered in Barclays’ analyses and reviews. None of the Company, OpCo, Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Barclays or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses and reviews and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or review are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of companies, businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which the companies, businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Barclays’ analyses and reviews are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

The summary of the financial analyses and reviews summarized below includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses and reviews used by Barclays, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses and reviews. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full description of the analyses and reviews, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses and reviews, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Barclays’ analyses and reviews.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

In order to estimate the present value of the Class A Common Stock, Barclays performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company. A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset by calculating the “present value” of estimated future cash flows of the asset. “Present value” refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors.

To calculate the estimated enterprise value (“EV”) of the Company using the discounted cash flow method, Barclays added the Company’s projected after-tax unlevered free cash flows for fiscal years 2023 through 2032 based on the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts to the “terminal value” of the Company as of the end of fiscal year 2032, and discounted such amount to its present value using a mid-year convention and a range of selected discount rates. The after-tax unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and subtracting cash taxes and capital expenditures. The residual value of the Company at the end of the forecast period, or “terminal value,” was estimated by selecting a range of perpetuity growth rates ranging from 3.0% to 3.5%, which were derived by Barclays using its professional judgment and experience. The range of after-tax discount rates of 8.0% to 8.5% was selected based on an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of the Company and the selected comparable companies. Barclays then calculated a range of implied prices per share of Class A Common Stock by subtracting actual net debt as of December 31, 2022 from the estimated EV using the discounted cash flow method and dividing such amount by the fully diluted number of shares of Company Capital Stock, as of February 28, 2023, based on information provided by management of the Company (excluding the impact of potential dividends elected to be paid in stock to holders of shares of Series A Founder Preferred Stock). The following summarizes the result of these calculations:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

			Perpetuity Growth Rate			Implied Equity Value per Share of Class A Common Stock
Discount Rates of 8.0% – 8.5%			3.0% – 3.5%			$6.96 – $15.10

Barclays noted that on the basis of the discounted cash flow analysis, the Merger Consideration was within the range of implied values per share of Class A Common Stock calculated using the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts.

Selected Comparable Company Analysis

In order to assess how the public market values shares of similar publicly traded companies and to provide a range of relative implied equity values per share of Class A Common Stock by reference to those companies, Barclays reviewed and compared specific financial and operating data relating to the Company with selected companies that Barclays, based on its experience in the telecom infrastructure and real estate industries, deemed comparable to the Company. The selected comparable companies with respect to the Company were:

Barclays calculated and compared various financial multiples and ratios of the Company and the selected comparable companies. As part of its selected comparable company analysis, Barclays calculated and analyzed (a) each tower company’s ratio of EV to (i) its 2022 actual or estimated (“2022A/E”) and 2023 estimated (“2023E”) tower cash flows (“TCF”) and (ii) its 2022A/E and 2023E earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted for non-recurring items (“EBITDA”), (b) each data center company’s ratio of EV to its 2022A/E and 2023E EBITDA and (c) each triple-net lease REIT’s implied capitalization rate, defined as the ratio of next twelve months’ (“NTM”) net operating income to EV. The EV of each company was obtained by adding its short- and long-term debt to the sum of the market value of its common equity, the value of any preferred stock (at liquidation value) and the book value of any minority interest, finance leases, asset retirement obligations and subtracting its cash and cash equivalents, as applicable and based on the relevant financial reporting standards. All of these calculations were performed, and based on publicly available financial data (including FactSet, Green Street, SNL and Bloomberg) and closing prices, as of February 28, 2023, the last trading date prior to the delivery of Barclays’ oral opinion. The results of this selected comparable company analysis are summarized below:

Barclays selected the comparable companies listed above because of similarities in one or more business or operating characteristics with the Company. However, because of the inherent differences between the business, operations and prospects of the Company and those of the selected comparable companies, Barclays believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected comparable company analysis. Accordingly, Barclays also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of the Company and the selected comparable companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis. These qualitative judgments

TABLE OF CONTENTS

related primarily to the differing industries, geographies, sizes, growth prospects, profitability levels and degree of operational risk between the Company and the companies included in the selected company analysis. Based upon these judgments, Barclays selected a range of 15.5x to 17.5x multiples of EV to 2023E ground cash flows (“GCF”) for the Company and applied such range to the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts to calculate a range of implied prices per share of Class A Common Stock. The following summarizes the result of these calculations:

			Low						High
Implied equity value per share of Class A Common Stock				$	12.51					$	15.36

Barclays noted that on the basis of the selected comparable company analysis, the Merger Consideration was within the range of implied values per share of Class A Common Stock calculated using the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts.

Other Factors

Barclays also reviewed and considered other factors, which were not considered part of its financial analyses in connection with rendering its advice, but were references for informational purposes, including, among other things, the illustrative present value of future share price analysis, equity research price targets analysis and historical share price analysis described below.

Illustrative Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis

Barclays performed an analysis of the implied present value of an illustrative future value per share of Class A Common Stock, which is designed to provide an indication of the present value of the theoretical future value of a company’s equity as a function of such company’s financial projections and valuation multiples. Barclays first calculated the implied future EV of the Company for fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2030 by applying ratios of multiples of the Company’s EV to NTM GCF ranging from 15.5x to 17.5x to NTM GCF estimates for the Company as reflected in the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts for each of the fiscal years 2023 through 2030. The illustrative EV to NTM GCF multiple estimates were derived by Barclays utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account the results from the selected comparable companies analysis and the EV to NTM GCF multiples for the Company as of February 28, 2023. Barclays then calculated a range of implied prices per share of Class A Common Stock based on the fully diluted number of shares of Company Capital Stock as of February 28, 2023, as provided by management of the Company (including the dilutive effect of potential stock dividends to holders of shares of Series A Founder Preferred Stock and corresponding distributions with respect to the Series A Rollover Profits Units).

Utilizing a range of discount rates of 12.4% to 13.3% based on an analysis of the cost of equity of the Company, Barclays then derived a range of implied present values per share for Class A Common Stock by discounting to present value the implied future values per share of Class A Common Stock. The following table presents the results of the analysis of the implied present value of the illustrative future value per share of Class A Common Stock.

Equity Research Price Targets Analysis

Barclays reviewed publicly available one-year forward price targets for the Class A Common Stock prepared and published by equity research firms that covered the Company as of February 28, 2023. Barclays noted that the range of low to high one-year forward share price targets as of February 28, 2023 was $13.00 to $18.00 per share. Barclays also reviewed publicly available one-year forward price targets for the Class A Common Stock prepared and published by equity research firms that covered the Company as of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

February 28, 2023, by deriving in each case, the implied equity value based on the number of shares outstanding at the end of the third quarter of 2022 mentioned in the applicable equity research firm report, then adjusted based on the fully diluted number of shares of Company Capital Stock as of February 28, 2023, as provided by management of the Company. Barclays noted that the range of low to high one-year forward share price targets as of February 28, 2023, as so adjusted, was $11.46 to $16.94 per share. The price targets published by the equity research firms did not necessarily reflect current market trading prices for shares of Class A Common Stock and these estimates are subject to uncertainties, including the future financial performance of the Company and future market conditions. The equity research price targets analysis for the Company was used for informational purposes only and was not included in Barclays’ financial analyses.

Historical Share Price Analysis

To illustrate the trend in the historical trading prices of shares of Class A Common Stock, Barclays considered historical data with regard to the trading prices of Class A Common Stock for the period from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023. Barclays noted that during the period from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock ranged from $7.97 to $16.52. The historical share price analysis for the Company was used for informational purposes only and was not included in Barclays’ financial analyses.

General

Barclays is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and, as part of its investment banking activities, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. The Transaction Committee selected Barclays because of its qualifications, reputation and experience in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions generally, as well as substantial experience in transactions comparable to the Mergers.

Barclays is acting as financial advisor to the Transaction Committee in connection with the Mergers. As compensation for its services in connection with the Mergers, the Company paid Barclays a fee of $2,500,000 upon the delivery of Barclays’ opinion, which is referred to as the “Opinion Fee”. The Opinion Fee was not contingent upon the conclusion of Barclays’ opinion or the consummation of the Mergers. The Company may pay Barclays an additional discretionary fee of up to $1,000,000 based upon the Transaction Committee’s assessment of Barclays’ work in connection with its engagement. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse Barclays for a portion of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Mergers and to indemnify Barclays for certain liabilities that may arise out of its engagement by the Transaction Committee and the rendering of Barclays’ opinion. Barclays has performed various investment banking services for the Company in the past, and expects to perform such services in the future, and has received, and expects to receive, customary fees for such services. In the past two years, Barclays has not earned material investment banking fees from the Company. Further, Barclays and its affiliates in the past have provided, currently are providing, or in the future may provide, investment banking services to the Excluded Stockholders and have received or in the future may receive customary fees for rendering such services. In the past two years, Barclays has not earned investment banking fees from the Excluded Stockholders. In addition, Barclays and its affiliates in the past have provided, currently are providing, or in the future may provide, investment banking services to EQT and PSP, and certain of their respective affiliates and portfolio companies and have received or in the future may receive customary fees for rendering such services, including (i) having acted or acting as financial advisor to EQT, PSP and certain of their respective portfolio companies and affiliates in connection with certain mergers and acquisition transactions; (ii) having acted or acting as arranger, bookrunnner and/or lender for EQT, PSP and certain of their respective portfolio companies and affiliates in connection with the financing for various acquisition transactions; and (iii) having acted or acting as underwriter, initial purchaser and placement agent for various equity and debt offerings undertaking by EQT, PSP and certain of their respective portfolio companies and affiliates. During the period from January 1, 2021 through March 1, 2023, Barclays and its affiliates received aggregate fees for such services of approximately $80 million from EQT and its portfolio companies

and affiliates and aggregate fees for such services of approximately $1 million from PSP and its portfolio companies and affiliates, in each case as determined by Barclays based on its books and records.

Barclays and its subsidiaries and affiliates engage in a wide range of businesses from investment and commercial banking, lending, asset management and other financial and non-financial services. In the ordinary course of its business, Barclays and its affiliates may actively trade and effect transactions in the equity, debt and/or other securities (and any derivatives thereof) and financial instruments (including loans and other obligations) of the Company, EQT and PSP and certain of the portfolio companies and/or affiliates of EQT and PSP for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions and investments in such securities and financial instruments.

Certain Financial Forecasts

Other than providing an annual outlook with respect to Acquisition Capex (as defined below), including the annual outlook with respect to Acquisition Capex included in the Company’s press release, dated March 1, 2023, which was attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, furnished to the SEC on March 2, 2023, the Company does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose forecasts or internal projections as to future performance, or results of operations, earnings or other results, due to, among other things, the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. In August 2022, in connection with the strategic review process, senior management of the Company provided the Company Board and the Transaction Committee, as well as Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays, with certain non-public, unaudited prospective financial information for the years ending June 30, 2022 through 2032 (the “June 30, 2022 – 2032 Management Forecasts”). In February 2023, senior management of the Company updated the June 30, 2022 – 2032 Management Forecasts based on the Company’s actual performance through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and senior management’s best then currently available estimates and assumptions with respect to the future financial performance of the Company on a standalone basis (such updated forecasts, the “December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts” and, together with the June 30, 2022 Management Forecasts, the “Management Forecasts”). Senior management of the Company provided the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts to the Company Board and the Transaction Committee, in connection with their respective evaluations of the proposed transaction, and to Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays, in connection with each firm’s respective financial analysis and fairness opinion summarized in the sections of this proxy statement titled “— Opinion of Citi”, “— Opinion of Goldman Sachs” and “— Opinion of Barclays”. The Company is including a summary of the Management Forecasts to provide Company Stockholders with access to information that was made available to the Company Board and the Transaction Committee, as well as each of Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays, as described above.

The Company Board and the Transaction Committee reviewed the Management Forecasts and, following discussions with Company management, the Company Board authorized and instructed Citi and Goldman Sachs, and the Transaction Committee authorized and instructed Barclays, to use and rely upon the December 31, 2023 – 2032 Management Forecasts for purposes of their respective financial analyses and fairness opinions summarized in the sections of this proxy statement titled “— Opinion of Citi”, “— Opinion of Goldman Sachs” and “— Opinion of Barclays”. Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays were not authorized to, and did not use, the June 30, 2022 – 2032 Management Forecasts for purposes of their respective financial analyses and fairness opinions summarized in the sections of this proxy statement titled “— Opinion of Citi”, “— Opinion of Goldman Sachs” and “— Opinion of Barclays”. Senior company management modeled each of the Management Forecasts based on its best then currently available estimates and assumptions with respect to the future financial performance of the Company on a standalone basis. The Management Forecasts were based upon certain financial, operating and commercial assumptions developed solely using the information available to management of the Company at the time the Management Forecasts were created.

(1)

“Annualized in-place rents” is calculated using the implied monthly revenue from all revenue producing leases that are expected to be collected on leases owned and acquired (“in-place”) as of the measurement date multiplied by twelve. Implied monthly revenue for each lease is calculated based on the most recent rental payment under such lease. Annualized in-place rents is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue as a measure of operating performance.

(2)

“Ground cash flow” measures gross profit, which is calculated as revenue minus cost of service.

(3)

“Adjusted EBITDA” is calculated using “EBITDA”, which is defined as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expenses (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusting for non-cash impairment — decommissions expense, realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency debt, realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses associated with non-debt transactions and balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, share-based compensation expense and transaction-related costs recorded in selling, general and administrative expense incurred for incremental business acquisition pursuits (successful and unsuccessful) and related financing and integration activities. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.

(4)

“Acquisition Capex” represent the total cash spent and committed to be spent for the Company’s acquisition of revenue-producing assets during the period measured. Acquisition Capex is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to capital expenditures as a measure of cash flows or as measure of liquidity.

(5)

“Unlevered free cash flow” is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less share-based compensation, less cash taxes and less Acquisition Capex. Unlevered free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. In addition to the projections of unlevered free cash flow set forth above, senior management of the Company provided to the Company Board and the Transaction Committee, as well as Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays a terminal year unlevered free cash flow of $389 million, which was derived from terminal year annualized-in-place rent of $522 million, ground cash flow of $483 million, adjusted EBITDA of $481 million and property right renewal capital expenditures of $4 million and assuming no asset acquisitions and no origination activity and costs in the terminal year.

Important Information Concerning the Management Forecasts

The Management Forecasts were prepared for internal use only and not for public disclosure and were provided to the Company Board and the Transaction Committee and to Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays as described above. The summary of the Management Forecasts is included in this proxy statement solely to give Company Stockholders access to certain financial forecasts that were made available to the Company Board, the Transaction Committee, Citi, Goldman Sachs and Barclays and is not being included in this proxy statement to influence a Company Stockholder’s decision whether to vote for the Merger Agreement Proposal or for any other purpose.

The Management Forecasts were generated solely for internal use and not developed with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial data, published guidelines of the SEC regarding forward-looking statements or GAAP, but, in the view of Company management, were reasonably prepared in good faith on a basis reflecting the best available estimates and judgments at the time of preparation, and presented as of the time of preparation. No independent registered public accounting firm provided any assistance in preparing the Management Forecasts. Accordingly, no independent registered public accounting firm has examined, compiled or otherwise performed any procedures with respect to the Management Forecasts or expressed any opinion or given any other form of assurance with respect thereto, and they assume no responsibility for the information contained in the Management Forecasts. The KPMG LLP report included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 relates solely to the historical financial information of the Company and to an assessment of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Such reports do not extend to the Management Forecasts and should not be read to do so.

The inclusion of the Management Forecasts should not be regarded as an indication that the Company, Parent, their affiliates, officers, directors, advisors (including financial advisors) or any of their respective representatives or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, the Management Forecasts to be necessarily predictive of future results. There can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be materially lower or higher than estimated, whether or not the Mergers are completed. None of the Company, Parent or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors (including financial advisors) or other representatives can provide any assurance that actual results will not differ from the Management Forecasts, and, except as required by applicable law, none of the Company, Parent or their respective affiliates undertakes any obligation to update, or otherwise revise or reconcile, the Management Forecasts to reflect circumstances existing after the date the Management Forecasts were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Management Forecasts are shown to be inappropriate. None of the Company or its affiliates, officers, directors, advisors (including financial advisors) or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any Company Stockholder or other person regarding the information included in the Management Forecasts or the Company’s ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the Management Forecasts or that forecasted results will be achieved. The Company has made no representation to Parent, in the Merger Agreement or otherwise, concerning the Management Forecasts. The Management Forecasts are forward-looking statements. The assumptions and estimates underlying the Management Forecasts, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company, may not be realized. None of the Company or its affiliates, officers, directors, advisors (including financial advisors) or other representatives assumes any responsibility to holders of shares of Company Capital Stock or equity interests in OpCo for the accuracy of this information. In particular, the Management Forecasts, while presented with numerical specificity, necessarily, were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the Management Forecasts. Because the Management Forecasts cover multiple years, by their nature, they become subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year and are unlikely to anticipate each circumstance that will have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Important factors that may affect actual results and result in the Management Forecasts not being achieved include, but are not limited to the risks and uncertainties described in the section of this proxy statement titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are outside the control of the Company and, upon consummation of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Mergers, will be beyond the control of EQT or PSP and the Surviving Entities. Company Stockholders are urged to review the Company’s SEC filings for a description of risk factors with respect to the Company’s business. The Management Forecasts also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change.

Some or all of the estimates and assumptions underlying the Management Forecasts may have changed since the date the Management Forecasts were prepared. The information set forth in the Management Forecasts is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The Management Forecasts were developed on a standalone basis without giving effect to the Mergers, and therefore the Management Forecasts do not give effect to the Mergers or any changes to the Company’s operations or strategy that may be implemented after the consummation of the Mergers. Furthermore, the Management Forecasts do not take into account the effect of any failure of the Mergers to be completed and should not be viewed as accurate or continuing in that context.

The Management Forecasts contain certain non-GAAP financial measures that Company management believes are helpful in understanding the Company’s past financial performance and future results. Company management regularly uses a variety of financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP for comparing the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the overall understanding of its underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and its peers and that these measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as well as insight into the compliance with its debt covenants, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The SEC rules that would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure do not apply to non-GAAP financial measures provided to a board of directors or a financial advisor in connection with a proposed business combination such as the Mergers if the disclosure is included in a document such as this proxy statement. In addition, reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures were not relied upon by the Company Board, the Transaction Committee or their respective financial advisors in connection with their respective evaluations of the Mergers or their respective financial analyses and fairness opinions, as applicable. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the Management Forecasts to the relevant GAAP financial measures.

The Management Forecasts summarized in this section were prepared prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement and have not been updated to reflect any changes after the date they were prepared. THE COMPANY DOES NOT INTEND, AND UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATION, TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE THE MANAGEMENT FORECASTS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING SINCE THEIR PREPARATION OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE EVENTS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE PROJECTIONS ARE NO LONGER APPROPRIATE. In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the Management Forecasts, readers of this proxy statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Management Forecasts.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

The Company’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Company Stockholders generally. The members of the Company Board and the Transaction Committee were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal and recommend that the Company Stockholders approve the Merger Agreement Proposal.

The Company’s executive officers for purposes of the discussion below are William H. Berkman (Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), Scott G. Bruce (President), Richard I. Goldstein (Chief

Operating Officer), Glenn J. Breisinger (Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer) and Jay L. Birnbaum (Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary).

Treatment of Company Equity Awards

For information regarding beneficial ownership of shares of Company Common Stock by each of the Company’s directors and executive officers and all of such directors and executive officers as a group, please see the section titled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”, beginning on page 131. Each of the Company’s directors and executive officers will be entitled to receive, for each (i) share of Company Capital Stock, (ii) OpCo Class B Common Unit, (iii) LTIP Unit and (iv) Series B Rollover Profits Unit he or she holds that is entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, the same per share Merger Consideration in the same manner as other Company Stockholders.

As described further in the section titled “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Company Equity Awards” beginning on page 104, as of the Company Merger Effective Time or OpCo Merger Effective Time, as applicable, except as otherwise agreed by Parent and the applicable award holder, including pursuant to any Rollover Agreement: (a) each LTIP Unit that is outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement will vest (to the extent unvested), and be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (with all applicable performance conditions deemed satisfied and based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such LTIP Unit is convertible immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time); (b) each share of Company Restricted Stock held by an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will be canceled and converted into an RS Payment Right; provided that, if the employment of a holder of an RS Payment Right is terminated following the Company Merger Effective Time but prior to the applicable vesting date by Parent without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) or due to death or Disability (as defined in the Company Stock Plan), then the vesting and payment of such RS Payment Right will be accelerated to the first payroll date after the date of such termination; and (c) each share of Company Restricted Stock held by a non-employee director of the Company Board as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will vest (to the extent unvested) and be canceled in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the Merger Consideration.

The following table sets forth the value of the LTIP Units and all shares of Company Restricted Stock held by the Company’s executive officers as of May 9, 2023, the latest practicable date to determine such amounts before the filing of this proxy statement, assuming that: (a) all LTIP Units that are equitized and have value (i.e., the holder’s capital account maintained for U.S. federal income tax purposes exceeds the applicable predetermined threshold) and shares of Company Restricted Stock are valued based on the Merger Consideration (in the case of LTIP Units, based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such LTIP Unit is convertible immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time); (b) all LTIP Units subject to performance criteria have such criteria deemed satisfied; (c) all LTIP Units granted in 2023 are not equitized and therefore have no value (i.e., the holder’s capital account maintained for U.S. federal income tax purposes does not exceed the applicable predetermined threshold) and are exchanged for no consideration as of the Closing; (d) the Closing occurs on September 30, 2023, which is the assumed Closing Date only for purposes of this compensation-related disclosure; and (e) the individuals included in the table below do not receive any Company equity awards or forfeit any Company equity awards prior to September 30, 2023; however, such values do reflect the expected vesting of LTIP Units and shares of Company Restricted Stock prior to such date. As of May 9, 2023, no director holds unvested Company equity awards.

Severance Entitlements

Each executive officer (other than Mr. Birnbaum) is party to an individual employment agreement with the Company and OpCo, dated February 10, 2020 (the “Existing Employment Agreements”). Mr. Birnbaum is party to an amended and restated individual employment agreement with the Company and OpCo, dated April 17, 2024 (the “Birnbaum Employment Agreement” and, collectively with the Existing Employment Agreements, the “Executive Officer Agreements”). The Existing Employment Agreements provide for severance payments and other benefits in the event of a “qualifying termination”, which includes a termination of employment by the Company in anticipation of a change in control of the Company or a termination by the Company other than for “Cause”, death or “Disability” or by the executive for “Good Reason” (in each case, as defined in the Existing Employment Agreements) within one year following a change in control of the Company. The Mergers will constitute a change in control of the Company for purposes of the Existing Employment Agreements.

In the event of a qualifying termination in anticipation of or within one year following a change in control of the Company, each executive officer party to an Existing Employment Agreement will be entitled to receive, in addition to certain accrued amounts: (a) a lump-sum cash payment equal to the product of two times the sum of the executive officer’s base salary and annual bonus earned in respect of the fiscal year immediately prior to the termination date; (b) a pro-rated annual bonus for the year of termination based on target performance; (c) any earned but unpaid bonus for the year prior to the year of termination; (d) a cash payment equal to 24 months of COBRA premiums (regardless of whether the executive officer elects COBRA continuation coverage); and (e) accelerated vesting of all outstanding Company equity awards. Receipt of the above-described payments and benefits is conditioned upon the executive officer executing (and not revoking) a release of claims in favor of the Company.

The Birnbaum Employment Agreement reflects the terms of Mr. Birnbaum’s voluntary resignation as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary and transition into the role of special advisor on September 1, 2023 (the “Transition Date”), without regard to whether the Merger occurs. If Mr. Birnbaum continues in employment until the Transition Date, or if Mr. Birnbaum’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” or by Mr. Birnbaum for “Good Reason” (each, as defined in the Birnbaum Employment Agreement) or due to death or disability prior to the Transition Date, he will generally be entitled to receive the payments described above in the Existing Employment Agreements (other than, in the case of his continued employment until the Transition Date, accelerated vesting of long-term incentive compensation awarded in 2023), as well as continued payment of base salary and advisor fees (as applicable). If Mr. Birnbaum’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Birnbaum for Good Reason during the two-year period following the Transition date (the “Special Advisor Period”), he would generally be entitled to continued advisor fees, benefits continuation through the end of the Special Advisor Period and accelerated vesting of long-term incentive compensation awarded in 2023. None of the payments or benefits provided for in the Birnbaum Employment Agreement are in any way conditioned upon the Merger (or any other change in control transaction). Mr. Birnbaum is required to execute a release of claims in favor of the Company on the Transition Date and upon his termination of employment as special advisor.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Executive Officer Agreements provide that, in the event part or all of the compensation, payments or benefits payable in connection with the respective executive officer’s separation with the Company would constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then the payments will be reduced to the largest amount which would result in no portion of the payments being subject to the excise tax if such reduction will provide the executive officer with the best net after-tax result.

The severance payments and benefits described above are generally subject to the applicable executive officer’s compliance with restrictive covenants consisting of one-year (two-year, in the case of Messrs. Berkman and Birnbaum) post-termination restrictions on competing with the Company and soliciting the Company’s employees or customers, non-disclosure of the Company’s confidential information at any time, intellectual property assignment and a mutual non-disparagement.

Treatment of Annual Bonuses

The Merger Agreement provides that each participant, including our executive officers, in a Company Benefit Plan (as defined below) that is an annual cash incentive plan will receive a (a) Pre-Closing Bonus (as defined below) based on projected full-year actual performance, pro-rated based on the portion of the plan year elapsed prior to the Closing and (b) Post-Closing Bonus (as defined below) based on full-year target performance, pro-rated based on the remaining duration of the performance period. Payment of the annual cash bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs is generally contingent on the employee’s continued employment through the payment date; provided, however, that in the event of the employee’s termination of employment without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) between the Closing and the end of the performance period, such employee would receive an amount equal to (i) the Pre-Closing Bonus and (ii) a portion of the Post-Closing Bonus, pro-rated based on the number of days such employee was employed between the Closing and the end of the performance period.

Retention and Transaction Bonuses

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company may establish a cash-based retention bonus program and a cash-based transaction bonus program, in both cases for the benefit of certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of the date of this proxy statement, no director or executive officer has been allocated awards under these programs.

Arrangements with EQT, PSP and Parent

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Messrs. Berkman, Bruce, Goldstein and Breisinger entered into a new employment agreement with Chord TopCo, LP, to be effective upon the Company Merger Effective Time (the “New Employment Agreements”). Upon the Company Merger Effective Time, Chord TopCo, LP will assign the New Employment Agreements to the Company and such New Employment Agreements will replace and supersede the applicable Existing Employment Agreement for each such executive officer. The New Employment Agreements have an initial term of five years, subject to earlier termination as provided in the New Employment Agreements, with automatic one-year extensions and provide for (among other things): (a) an annual base salary of $571,000 for Mr. Berkman; $798,000 for each of Messrs. Bruce and Goldstein; and $654,000 for Mr. Breisinger; (b) eligibility to receive a cash bonus with a target of 50% (100%, in the case of Mr. Berkman) of base salary; and (c) eligibility to participate in and receive equity grants or other incentive awards under the equity incentive plan of Chord TopCo, LP or one of its affiliates to be established in connection with or following the Closing. In the event of a qualifying termination (which is generally defined to be the same as in the Existing Employment Agreements), each such executive officer would generally be entitled to the same severance payments and benefits (other than accelerated vesting of equity) as described above in the section titled “— Severance Entitlements”, and, other than in connection with a qualifying termination in anticipation of or within one year following a change in control, such severance payments and benefits (other than any prior year’s bonus) are subject to cessation and recoupment, as applicable, if the executive officer breaches the post-termination restrictions on competing with the Company, soliciting the Company’s employees or customers, or disclosing the Company’s confidential information, in any case, in a way that would reasonably be expected to result in significant reputational or monetary harm to the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

It is possible that other members of management will enter into individual agreements with Parent and/or one or more of its subsidiaries regarding employment following the Closing; however, no such discussions are ongoing as of the time of this proxy statement.

Rollover Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Berkman entered into a Rollover Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub II and each of Messrs. Bruce, Goldstein and Breisinger entered into a Rollover Agreement with Merger Sub II, in each case, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, such parties agreed to roll over a portion of their existing equity interests in OpCo into equity interests in the Surviving LLC. Please see the section of this proxy statement titled “— Rollover Agreements”.

Management Equity Program

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, EQT and PSP agreed to a term sheet with certain executive officers setting forth the material terms of a management equity program to provide equity incentives to certain members of management and other service providers of the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries following the Closing. The program will consist of an equity pool of approximately 9.5% of the outstanding equity of Chord TopCo, LP (or OpCo) as of the Closing (on a fully diluted basis), from which certain employees, including the executive officers, will be eligible to receive profits interest units, which will be subject to vesting conditions and certain call rights of Chord TopCo, LP (or OpCo). As a condition of any grant of the profits interest units under the management equity program, executive officers who entered into a New Employment Agreement would be subject to the restrictive covenants therein. As of the date of this proxy statement, no director or executive officer has been allocated awards under the management equity program.

EQT and PSP further agreed to adopt a cash-based long-term incentive plan to be utilized after the Closing for employees (which could, in the discretion of the board of Chord TopCo, LP, include the executive officers), under terms and conditions to be agreed by the board of Chord TopCo, LP and Mr. Berkman. As of the date of this proxy statement, no director or executive officer has been allocated awards under this plan.

Tax Protection Agreement

On March 1, 2023, Mr. Berkman, EQT and PSP agreed that, upon the Closing, subject to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Mr. Berkman will, and Parent will cause the Company TPA Parties to, enter into the TPA, pursuant to which the Company TPA Parties will indemnify Mr. Berkman and certain of his affiliated entities for any current taxes resulting from certain non-ordinary course actions that are taken by the Company TPA Parties. In the event that the Company TPA Parties take such actions, they will be liable for grossed-up tax amounts associated with the income or gain recognized by Mr. Berkman or such of his affiliated entities as a result of such actions. The Company TPA Parties’ liability under the TPA is capped at (i) $32 million in the aggregate within the first 20 years of the Closing Date and (ii) $22.5 million in the aggregate after the twentieth anniversary of the Closing Date; however, in certain limited circumstances, the cap will be increased to $40 million. As of the date of this proxy statement, no amounts have been paid to Mr. Berkman or any of his affiliated entities under the terms of the TPA.

Section 280G Mitigation Actions

Each of our executive officers is subject to a 280G best-net cutback, as described above in the section titled “— Severance Entitlements”. The Company is permitted to take certain actions before the Company Merger Effective Time to mitigate the amount of potential “parachute payments” for “disqualified individuals” (each, as defined in Section 280G of the Code), including accelerating the vesting or payment of compensation that would have been scheduled to vest or be paid in the future into a year prior to the year in which the Closing is expected to occur, accelerating the vesting or payment of compensation that would vest or become payable on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or the Company Benefit Plan into a year prior to the year in which the Closing is expected to occur, entering into or expanding non-competition agreements or paying out accrued vacation. As of the date of this proxy

statement, the Company has not approved any specific actions to mitigate the expected impact of Section 280G of the Code on the Company and any disqualified individuals.

Director and Officer Indemnification

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, members of the Company Board and executive officers of the Company will be entitled to certain ongoing indemnification and coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies following the Closing. For a more detailed description of the provisions of the Merger Agreement relating to director and officer indemnification, please see the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Indemnification and Insurance” beginning on page 122.

Quantification of Payments and Benefits

In accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, the table below sets forth for each of the Company’s named executive officers estimates of the amounts of compensation that are payable in connection with or otherwise relates to the Mergers. The Company Stockholders are being asked to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, such compensation. Because the vote to approve such compensation is advisory only, it will not be binding on either the Company, the Company Board or Parent. Accordingly, if the Merger Agreement Proposal is approved by the Company Stockholders and the Mergers are consummated, the compensation will be payable regardless of the outcome of the vote to approve such compensation, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, which are described in the footnotes to the tables below and above under the section titled “— Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers”.

The potential payments in the tables below are quantified in accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K. The estimated values are based on (a) an assumption that the Mergers are consummated on September 30, 2023, (b) the per share Merger Consideration of $15.00, (c) the named executive officers’ salary and target bonus amounts as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, (d) the number of LTIP Units and shares of Company Restricted Stock held by the named executive officers as of May 9, 2023, the latest practicable date to determine such amounts before the filing of this proxy statement, less any awards expected to vest in the ordinary course prior to September 30, 2023, and assuming no additional grants or forfeitures of Company equity awards prior to September 30, 2023 and (e) an assumption that each named executive officer experiences a termination of employment immediately following the consummation of the Mergers under circumstances that entitle such named executive officer to receive severance (i.e., a termination other than for “Cause”, death or “Disability” or resignation for “Good Reason” or, for Mr. Birnbaum only, a termination other than for “Cause” or resignation for “Good Reason”). As such, the amounts indicated below are estimates based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur, including assumptions described in this proxy statement, and do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before consummation of the Mergers. As a result, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by a named executive officer may materially differ from the amounts set forth below.

The amounts shown below do not attempt to quantify any reduction that may be required as a result of a 280G best-net cutback, to which all named executive officers are subject; therefore, actual payments to the named executive officers may be less than the amounts indicated below. In addition, the amounts shown below do not attempt to reflect any implication from any individual’s Rollover Agreement with Parent and/or Merger Sub II or any amounts that Mr. Berkman may be owed under the TPA, nor do such amounts reflect the payments such individuals may receive in respect of the Company Capital Stock, OpCo Class B Common Units or Series B Rollover Profits Units that such individuals may hold.

The amounts shown in this column represent the estimated value of the cash severance each named executive officer is eligible to receive upon a qualifying termination or, in the case of Mr. Birnbaum, upon a termination without Cause or for Good Reason immediately following consummation of the Mergers (as described in the section titled “— Severance Entitlements”). The value of cash severance for each named executive officer other than Mr. Birnbaum consists of: (a) two times the sum of the executive officer’s base salary and annual bonus earned in respect of the fiscal year immediately prior to the termination date, (b) a pro-rata annual bonus for the year of termination based on target performance, assuming a termination date of September 30, 2023 and (c) a cash payment equal to 24 months of COBRA premiums (regardless of whether the executive officer elects COBRA continuation coverage). The value of cash severance for Mr. Birnbaum includes continued payment of his special advisor fees through the end of the Special Advisor Period. As of the date of this proxy statement, all bonuses for the year prior to the assumed year of termination have been paid and are not included. Each named executive officer’s cash severance payments are “double-trigger”, as such payments will not be payable solely as a result of the occurrence of the Company Merger Effective Time and will only be payable in the event of a qualifying termination, or, in the case of Mr. Birnbaum, upon a termination without Cause or for Good Reason, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions described in the section titled “— Severance Entitlements”. The amounts in this column are included in the sub-table below.

The amounts shown in this column represent the estimated aggregate value of the named executive officers’ vested and unvested LTIP Units and shares of Company Restricted Stock as of September 30, 2023, as shown in the table above in the section titled “— Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger — Treatment of Company Equity Awards”. As described in such section at the OpCo Merger Effective Time or Company Merger Effective Time, as applicable, except as otherwise agreed by Parent and the applicable award holder, including pursuant to any Rollover Agreement, (i) each LTIP Unit (whether vested or unvested) will vest with all applicable performance conditions deemed satisfied and be canceled in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such LTIP Unit is convertible immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time and (ii) each share of Company Restricted Stock held by an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will be canceled and converted into an RS Payment Right; provided that, if the employment of a holder of an RS Payment Right is terminated following the Company Merger Effective Time but prior to the applicable vesting date by Parent without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) or due to death or Disability (as defined in the Company Stock Plan), then the vesting and payment of such RS Payment Right will be accelerated to the first payroll date after the date of such termination. Given LTIP Units granted in 2023 will not be equitized as of immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time, they are assumed for purposes of this table to be canceled in exchange for no consideration as of the Closing. However, to the extent any such LTIP Units are rolled over in connection with the Closing, as described in the section titled “— Rollover Agreements”, they may appreciate after the Closing. As of the date of this proxy statement, all LTIP Units held by named executive officers were granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement and no LTIP Units are assumed to have been granted following the date of the Merger Agreement, and therefore the amounts shown in this column in respect of LTIP Units are “single-trigger”, as such payments would be payable on the OpCo Merger Effective Time regardless of whether or not the executive’s employment is terminated, absent entrance into a Rollover Agreement or other individual agreement between the named executive officer and Parent

or its affiliates. These amounts do not reflect any amounts of equity awards that may be rolled over in connection with the Closing, as described in the section titled “— Rollover Agreements”. The amounts shown in this column in respect of shares of Company Restricted Stock are “double-trigger”, as such payments will not be provided solely as a result of the occurrence of the Company Merger Effective Time and will only be provided in the event of a termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason.

(3)

The amount shown in this column represents the estimated aggregate value of continued health coverage for Mr. Birnbaum through the end of the Special Advisor Period (as described in the section titled “— Severance Entitlements”). Mr. Birnbaum’s continued health benefits are “double-trigger”, as such benefits will not be provided solely as a result of the occurrence of the Company Merger Effective Time and will only be provided in the event of a termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason, subject to the terms and conditions described in the section titled “— Severance Entitlements”.

(4)

As of the date of this proxy statement, no named executive officer has been identified to receive or has been awarded any amounts under the retention and/or transaction award programs (as described more fully in the section titled “— Retention and Transaction Bonuses”) or been allocated an award under the new management equity program or cash-based long term incentive plan (as described more fully in the section titled “— Management Equity Program”). As described above, in the section titled “— Severance Entitlements”, the payments to each named executive officer are subject to a 280G best-net cutback. In addition, these amounts do not reflect any benefit Mr. Berkman may be entitled to receive under the TPA, as described in the section titled “— Tax Protection Agreement”, the amount of which cannot be quantified as of the time of this proxy statement.

Voting and Support Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Parent Parties entered into the Voting and Support Agreements with William H. Berkman, Centerbridge Partners, L.P., Imperial Landscape Sponsor LLC and TOMS Acquisition II LLC and their respective affiliated persons or entities, as applicable. As of May 9, 2023, the Company Stockholders party to the Voting and Support Agreements hold, collectively, approximately 22.9% of the voting power of the Company Capital Stock. Under the Voting and Support Agreements, the applicable Company Stockholders have agreed to vote their respective shares of Company Capital Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and certain other matters. Each of the Voting and Support Agreements terminates upon the first to occur of: (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms without the consummation of the Mergers; (b) the Company Merger Effective Time; (c) the mutual written consent of the parties thereto; (d) the time of any modification, waiver or amendment to any provision of the Merger Agreement that reduces the amount, changes the form or type, imposes any restrictions on the applicable Company Stockholder’s right to receive, or otherwise adversely affects the form, type or amount of consideration payable to such Company Stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement as in effect on date of the Merger Agreement and (e) delivery of a written notice to Parent of an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement and described in further detail in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Change in Company Board Recommendation”) in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Voting and Support Agreements also contain restrictions on transfer of shares of Company Capital Stock held by the Company Stockholders party thereto, subject to certain exceptions.

Financing of the Mergers

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on March 1, 2023, Parent obtained equity financing commitments for an aggregate amount of $1,798,600,000 for purposes of financing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Sponsors have committed to capitalize Parent at the Closing with equity contributions equal to $1,079,160,000 and $719,440,000, respectively, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the equity commitment letters between the applicable Sponsors, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand. In addition, the Sponsors have provided termination equity financing commitments in favor of Parent to fund Parent’s obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee that may become payable to the Company under certain circumstances, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and such termination equity financing commitments.

Closing and Effective Times

The Closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a date to be specified by Parent and the Company, which date shall be as soon as practicable following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable law) of the conditions to closing, which are described below in the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Mergers” (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time) (but in no event later than the fifth business day following such satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), by the remote exchange of electronic copies of documents and signatures, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company.

The time at which the OpCo Merger becomes effective is referred to as the “OpCo Merger Effective Time”. Subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, Parent, Merger Sub II and OpCo will cause the OpCo Merger to be consummated pursuant to the DLLCA by filing a certificate of merger executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DLLCA (the “OpCo Certificate of Merger”), and will make all other filings, recordings or publications required under the DLLCA in connection with the OpCo Merger.

Appraisal Rights

A copy of Section 262 of the DGCL may be accessed without subscription or cost at the following publicly available website: https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc09/index.html#262. The following summary is not a complete statement of the law relating to appraisal rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL and any amendments thereto after the date of this proxy statement. Any person who desires to exercise his, her or its appraisal rights should review carefully Section 262 of the DGCL and is urged to consult his, her or its legal advisor before electing or attempting to exercise such rights. The following summary does not constitute legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that persons seek to exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. Failure to comply timely and properly with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL will result in the loss of a person’s appraisal rights under the DGCL. A person who loses his, her or its appraisal rights will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

A holder of record or beneficial owner of shares of Company Capital Stock who (a) continuously holds such shares through the Company Merger Effective Time, (b) has not consented to or otherwise voted in favor of the Mergers or otherwise withdrawn, lost or waived appraisal rights, (c) strictly complies with the procedures under Section 262 of the DGCL, (d) does not thereafter withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal of such shares and (e) in the case of a beneficial owner, a person who (i) reasonably identifies in his, her or its demand the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, (ii) provides documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be and (iii) provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the Company and to be set forth on the Chancery List (as defined below), will be entitled to receive the fair value of his, her or its shares of Company Capital Stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value.

Section 262 of the DGCL requires that where a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, the stockholders be notified that appraisal rights will be available not less than twenty (20) days before the meeting to vote on the merger. Such notice must include either a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which Section 262 of the DGCL may be accessed without subscription or cost. This proxy statement constitutes the Company’s notice to our stockholders that appraisal rights are available in connection with the Mergers, in compliance with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL.

A record holder who holds shares of Company Capital Stock as a nominee for others, such as a broker, fiduciary, depositary or other nominee, may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of shares as to which such person is the record owner. In such case, the demand must set forth the number of shares of Company Capital Stock covered by such demand. Where the number of shares of Company Capital Stock is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding in the name of such record owner.

Within ten (10) days after the Company Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation must give written notice that the Mergers have become effective to each of (a) the Company Stockholders who has properly filed a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and (b) the beneficial owners who has demanded appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. At any time within sixty (60) days after the Company Merger Effective Time, any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined a proceeding as a named party may withdraw the demand and accept the Merger Consideration specified by the Merger Agreement for that person’s shares of Company Capital Stock by delivering to the Surviving Corporation a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Company Merger Effective Time, but not thereafter, the Surviving Corporation and any person who has properly and timely demanded appraisal and otherwise complied with Section 262 of the DGCL may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a copy served on the Surviving Corporation in the case of a petition filed by a person, demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of Company Capital Stock held by all persons that have demanded appraisal. There is no present intent on the part of the Company or the Surviving Corporation to file an appraisal petition and persons seeking to exercise appraisal rights should assume that the Company and the Surviving Corporation will not file such a petition or initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of shares of Company Capital Stock. Accordingly, persons who desire to have their shares of Company Capital Stock appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL. If, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Company Merger Effective Time, no

TABLE OF CONTENTS

petition has been filed as provided above, all rights to appraisal will cease and any person that previously demanded appraisal will become entitled only to the Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

In addition, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Company Merger Effective Time, any person who has theretofore complied with the applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the Surviving Corporation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Company Capital Stock not voted in favor of the Mergers and with respect to which demands for appraisal were received by the Surviving Corporation and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement must be given within ten (10) days after the written request therefor has been received by the Surviving Corporation or within ten (10) days after the expiration of the period for the delivery of demands as described above, whichever is later.

Upon the filing of a petition by a person, service of a copy of such petition shall be made upon the Surviving Corporation. The Surviving Corporation shall be required to, within twenty (20) days after such service, file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal of their shares of Company Capital Stock and with whom the Surviving Corporation has not reached agreements as to the value of such shares (the “Chancery List”). The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the Surviving Corporation and to all such persons set forth on the Chancery List.

If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed by a person, at the hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which persons have complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and have become entitled to appraisal rights provided thereby. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the persons who have demanded an appraisal of their shares of Company Capital Stock and who hold shares represented by certificates to submit their certificates of shares of Company Capital Stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any person fails to comply with such direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. If immediately before the Company Merger Effective Time, the shares of the class or series of Company Capital Stock as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Delaware Court of Chancery will dismiss the appraisal proceedings as to all holders of such shares of Company Capital Stock who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal or (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger for such total number of shares exceeds $1,000,000.

Upon application by the Surviving Corporation or any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceedings, the Delaware Court of Chancery may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to appraisal. Any person whose name appears on the Chancery List may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL.

Where proceedings are not dismissed, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceedings the Delaware Court of Chancery shall determine the fair value of shares of Company Capital Stock taking into account all relevant factors, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery, in its discretion, determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest on an appraisal award will accrue and compound quarterly from the Company Merger Effective Time through the date the judgment is paid at five percent (5%) over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the Company Merger Effective Time and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the Surviving Corporation may pay to each person entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue after such payment only on the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares of Company Capital Stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid by the Surviving Corporation as part of the pre-judgment payment to the person.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

When the fair value of the shares of Company Capital Stock is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value, with interest thereon, if any, to the persons entitled to receive the same.

Although the Company believes that the Merger Consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and persons should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value higher or lower than, or the same as, the Merger Consideration. Moreover, the Surviving Corporation does not anticipate offering more than the Merger Consideration to any person exercising appraisal rights and reserves the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262 of the DGCL, the “fair value” of the relevant shares of Company Capital Stock is less than the Merger Consideration.

In determining “fair value”, the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which were known or could be ascertained as of the date of the Mergers which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 of the DGCL provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers.” In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value”, but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 of the DGCL to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the Mergers and not the product of speculation, may be considered.” In addition, the Delaware courts have decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a dissenting person’s exclusive remedy.

The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable in the circumstances. However, costs do not include attorneys’ and expert witness fees. Each person is responsible for his, her or its attorneys’ and expert witness fees, although, upon application of a person whose name appears on the Chancery List who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees, be charged pro rata against the value of all shares of Company Capital Stock entitled to appraisal not dismissed pursuant to Section 262(k) of the DGCL or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction under Section 262(k) of the DGCL. Determinations by the Delaware Court of Chancery are subject to appellate review by the Delaware Supreme Court.

Any person who has duly demanded appraisal in compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL will not be entitled to vote for any purpose any shares of Company Capital Stock subject to such demand or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares, except for dividends or distributions payable to the holder of record at a date prior to the Company Merger Effective Time.

No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just, including without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Delaware Court of Chancery made under Section 262(j) of the DGCL; provided, however, that this provision shall not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined such a proceeding as a named party to withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the Mergers within sixty (60) days after the Company Merger Effective Time. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Company Merger Effective Time, all rights to appraisal will cease and any person that previously demanded appraisal will become entitled only to the Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of Company Common Stock with respect to the disposition of Company Common Stock in exchange for cash pursuant to the Company Merger. The following discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Company Merger and does not address consequences to holders of Founder Preferred Stock, Company equity awards or interests in OpCo (including Rollover Equity). This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Code, all of which are subject to change or varying interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein. The Internal Revenue Service may not agree with the tax consequences described in this discussion.

This discussion assumes that holders of Company Common Stock hold their shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a holder of Company Common Stock in light of such holder’s particular circumstances, nor does it discuss the special considerations applicable to holders of Company Common Stock subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as, for example, financial institutions or broker-dealers, mutual funds, partnerships or other pass-through entities and their partners or members, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, retirement or other tax-deferred accounts, insurance companies, dealers in securities or non-U.S. currencies, traders in securities who elect mark-to-market method of accounting, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, U.S. expatriates, holders who acquired their shares of Company Common Stock through the exercise of stock options or otherwise as compensation, holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, holders who exercise their appraisal rights in connection with the Company Merger, holders who hold their shares of Company Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction, U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, accrual method holders who prepare an “applicable financial statement” (as defined in Section 451 of the Code) and holders who own or have owned (directly, indirectly or constructively) 5% or more of Company Common Stock (by vote or value) outstanding. In addition, this discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction or U.S. federal non-income tax consequences (e.g., the U.S. federal estate or gift tax or the application of the Medicare tax on net investment income under Section 1411 of the Code).

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Company Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Company Common Stock, you should consult your own tax advisor.

All holders should consult their own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. income and other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Company Merger.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of Company Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

a trust if (1) its administration is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, have

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source.

A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Company Common Stock that is not a U.S. holder.

Tax Consequences of the Company Merger for Holders of Company Common Stock

U.S. Holders

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Company Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received pursuant to the Company Merger and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Company Common Stock converted into cash pursuant to the Company Merger. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for such shares exceeds one year as of the date of the Company Merger. Long-term capital gains for certain non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, are generally eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal income taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If a U.S. holder acquired different blocks of common stock at different times or at different prices, such U.S. holder must determine its tax basis, holding period, and gain or loss separately with respect to each block of common stock.

A U.S. holder may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at a rate of 24%) with respect to the cash received pursuant to the Company Merger, unless such holder properly establishes an exemption or provides its correct tax identification number and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules can be refunded or credited against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any; provided that such U.S. holder furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner.

Non-U.S. Holders

Any gain recognized on the receipt of cash pursuant to the Company Merger by a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such non-U.S. holder (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is also attributable to a permanent establishment or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base in the United States maintained by such non-U.S. holder), in which case the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to tax on such gain in the same manner as a U.S. holder and, if the non-U.S. holder is a non-U.S. corporation, such corporation may be subject to branch profits tax at the rate of 30% on the effectively connected gain (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty);

•

the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the Company Merger and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to tax at a 30% rate (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate) on any gain derived from the disposition of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Company Merger (other than gain effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses; or

•

shares of Company Common Stock constitute a United States real property interest because the Company is or has been a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the Company Merger or the period that the non-U.S. holder held shares of Company Common Stock (the “relevant period”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company believes that it has not been, is not and will not be a USRPHC during the relevant period. Even if the Company is or was a USRPHC during the relevant period, gain arising from a non-U.S. holder’s receipt of cash in exchange for Company Common Stock pursuant to the Company Merger will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if the Company Common Stock is “regularly traded”, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such non-U.S. holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of the Company Common Stock throughout the relevant period.

A non-U.S. holder will be subject to information reporting and, in certain circumstances, backup withholding will apply with respect to the cash received by such holder pursuant to the Company Merger, unless such non-U.S. holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a United States person as defined under the Code) or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any; provided that such non-U.S. holder furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT DOES NOT ADDRESS TAX CONSIDERATIONS THAT MAY VARY WITH, OR ARE CONTINGENT ON, YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR THE APPLICATION OF ANY U.S. NON-INCOME TAX LAWS OR THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. JURISDICTION, AND HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING SUCH MATTERS AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE COMPANY MERGER TO THEM IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF CHANGES IN THOSE TAX LAWS.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers

General

Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement has agreed (subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement) to use its reasonable best efforts to, among other things, cooperate in all reasonable respects with each other in connection with obtaining all approvals, consents, registrations, waivers, permits, authorizations, orders and other confirmations from any governmental authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, Parent has agreed to take all actions necessary to (a) secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under any applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws and obtain all consents under any antitrust and foreign investment laws that may be required by any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (b) promptly resolve objections as may be asserted by any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority or other person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust and foreign investment laws that may be asserted by any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority, in each case subject to certain limitations. For a detailed description of regulatory matters, please see below under the section of this proxy statement titled “The Merger Agreement — Efforts to Consummate the Mergers”.

The approvals required under the Merger Agreement include the receipt of the regulatory approvals as described below.

We currently expect to complete the Mergers in the third quarter of 2023. However, we cannot predict the exact timing of completion of the Mergers because we cannot guarantee when all of the necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained, or if they will be obtained at all.

in the confidential disclosure schedules that approval is required, Turkey and Israel), (b) the foreign investment laws of Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom and (c) the foreign investment laws of each of Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland, solely in the event any such jurisdiction enacts a new (or expands an existing) mandatory and/or suspensory pre-closing foreign investment law applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement following the date of the Merger Agreement. As of May [11], 2023, the parties submitted filings with the applicable governmental authorities under (i) the antitrust laws of Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom and (ii) under the foreign investment laws of China, Chile[, the European Union] and the United Kingdom. Clearance was received from such governmental authorities under (A) the antitrust laws of Germany on April 28, 2023 and Spain on May 3, 2023 and (B) the foreign investment laws of the United Kingdom on April 6, 2023.

In each case, the relevant regulatory authorities could take such actions under the applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable, including seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the parties or requiring the parties to license, or hold separate, assets or terminate existing relationships and contractual rights. We cannot be certain that a challenge to the Mergers will not be made or that, if a challenge is made, we will prevail.

Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. We cannot be certain that a challenge to the Mergers will not be made or that, if a challenge is made, we will prevail.

The Company Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Merger Agreement Proposal.

any failure to meet any internal or public projections, forecasts, guidance, estimates, milestones, budgets or internal or published financial or operating predictions of revenue, earnings, cash flow or cash position (it being understood that the exceptions in clauses (ix), (x) and (xi) shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that the underlying cause of any such change or failure referred to therein (if not otherwise falling within any of the exceptions provided by clauses (i) through (xi) hereof) is a Material Adverse Effect);

provided, however, that any effect, change, event, circumstance or occurrence referred to in clause (i), (ii), (v) or (vi) may be taken into account in determining whether or not there has been a Material Adverse Effect to the extent such effect, change, event, circumstance or occurrence has a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other participants in the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate (in which case only the incremental disproportionate impact or impacts may be taken into account in determining whether or not there has been or may be a Material Adverse Effect).

No Solicitation

•

cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions, communications or negotiations with any persons with respect to a Takeover Proposal (as defined below), potential Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, in each case, that existed prior to the date of the Merger Agreement;

authorize any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company receives a bona fide written Takeover Proposal, which Takeover Proposal did not result from any breach of the Merger Agreement by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of its or their representatives, (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined below) and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that the failure to take the actions set forth in the following clauses (x) and (y) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, then the Company may (and may authorize its representatives to) (x) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below) with such person or group and furnish pursuant thereto information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries to such person or group and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with, and only with, such person or group with respect to such Takeover Proposal. In the event that, subject to and pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, the Company furnishes to a person or group of persons making a Takeover Proposal any material non-public information concerning the Company or its affiliates that has not previously been furnished or made available to Parent and its representatives, the Company shall at the same time, or substantially concurrently, furnish such information to Parent.

Following the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Merger Agreement requires the Company to:

•

promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of receipt by the Company or any of its representatives) notify Parent orally and in writing in the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or their representatives receives a Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer, proposal, request for information or discussion that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal;

•

keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects on a current basis of the status and any developments with respect to any such Takeover Proposal or other inquiry, offer or proposal (including any material changes thereto); and

•

provide Parent with a copy of any written documents delivered to the Company or its subsidiaries or representatives that contain any material amendments thereto or any material change to the material terms or conditions thereof, including notifying Parent in writing if the Company determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning a Takeover Proposal in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

The Company has also agreed not to, and not to cause its subsidiaries to, enter into any confidentiality agreement or other contract that prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with the Merger Agreement or otherwise prevents the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective representatives from complying with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company from and after the date of the Merger Agreement that contains provisions that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those contained in the confidentiality agreements entered into with EQT and PSP, as amended, except that such confidentiality

113

TABLE OF CONTENTS

agreement need not restrict the making of, or amendment or modification to, any confidential Takeover Proposal to the Company Board.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person or group of persons (other than Parent and its affiliates) relating to:

•

any direct or indirect acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company (including any direct or indirect acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of equity interests in any subsidiary of the Company) and its subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company Board);

•

any direct or indirect acquisition, purchase or issuances, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of 20% or more of the aggregate outstanding Company Capital Stock or 20% or more of the aggregate outstanding equity interests in any subsidiary of the Company;

•

any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or group of persons beneficially owning 20% or more of the aggregate Company Capital Stock or 20% or more of the aggregate outstanding equity interests in any subsidiary of the Company; or

•

any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to which such person or group of persons (or the stockholders of any person) would acquire, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company (including any direct or indirect acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of equity interests in any subsidiary of the Company) and its subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company Board) or 20% or more of the aggregate equity securities of the Company or of the surviving entity in a merger involving the Company or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity, in each case, other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Takeover Proposal that the Company Board has determined in its good-faith judgment, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (i) would, if consummated, be more favorable to the Company Stockholders than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement from a financial point of view, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal (including the legal, financial (including financing terms), regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal and the identity of the person making the proposal) and the Merger Agreement (including any changes proposed by Parent to the terms of the Merger Agreement), and (ii) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, taking into account all legal, financial (including financing terms), regulatory, timing and other aspects of such proposal; provided that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

Change in Company Board Recommendation

Except as described below, neither the Company Board, the Transaction Committee nor any duly authorized committee of the Company Board may:

•

(i) withhold or withdraw (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent), the Company Board’s recommendation that the Company Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement (“Company Board Recommendation”), or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in this proxy statement, (ii) approve or endorse or adopt, or recommend the approval, endorsement or adoption of, or publicly propose to recommend, approve, endorse or adopt, any Takeover Proposal, (iii) fail to reaffirm publicly the Company Board Recommendation within ten business days (or if earlier, the business day prior to the Special Meeting) of a request therefor in writing from Parent following the public disclosure of a Takeover Proposal or (iv) fail to recommend against, in a Schedule 14D-9 any Takeover Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D promulgated under the Exchange Act within ten business days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2

114

TABLE OF CONTENTS

under the Exchange Act) of such tender offer or exchange offer (it being understood that the Company Board may, and may cause the Company to, (x) make a customary “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, and (y) elect to take no position with respect to a Takeover Proposal until the close of business on the tenth business day after the commencement of such Takeover Proposal pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act) (any of the foregoing actions, other than the actions in the immediately preceding parenthetical, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or

•

adopt, authorize or declare advisable or publicly propose to adopt, authorize or declare advisable or authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its subsidiaries to execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, joint venture agreement, license agreement, alliance agreement or other similar agreement or arrangement related to any Takeover Proposal, other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).

However, prior to the Special Meeting, the Company Board may (i) authorize and make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of the Merger Agreement or an Intervening Event (as defined below) if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law or (ii) authorize and cause the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of the Merger Agreement and terminate the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that (a) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law and (b) such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company Board shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, take any action set forth in clause (i) or (ii) (other than the authorization thereof subject to compliance with this proviso) unless (A) the Company has given Parent at least four business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall specify the material terms of any such Superior Proposal and the identity of the person or group of persons making such Superior Proposal) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any financial term or other materials terms or conditions (including the provision of financing) of any Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new notice period (which shall be two business days instead of four business days)), (B) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its subsidiaries and representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, and (C) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board has considered in good faith such binding offer, and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determined that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law and in the case of any action pursuant to clause (i) with respect to a Takeover Proposal or action pursuant to clause (ii), after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Takeover Proposal subject to such notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in such binding offer by Parent were to be given effect; provided, further, that any purported termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with clause (ii) to this sentence shall be void and of no force and effect unless the termination is in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the Company pays or causes to be paid to Parent the Company Termination Fee (as defined below) in accordance with the Merger Agreement prior to or concurrently with such termination. See the section of this proxy statement titled “— Termination Fees — Termination Fee Payable by Parent”.

Nothing in the Merger Agreement prohibits the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders that is required by applicable law if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board, to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable law; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company Board,

115

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Transaction Committee or any duly authorized committee of the Company Board take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “Intervening Event” means a material event or circumstance that was not known to the Company Board prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable), which event or circumstance, or any material consequence thereof, becomes known to the Company Board prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, that in no event shall the fact alone that the Company meets or exceeds any internal or published forecasts or projections for any period, or any changes alone after the date of the Merger Agreement in the market price or trading volume of shares of the Company, constitute, or be taken into account in determining the existence of, an Intervening Event (provided that such fact shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that the underlying cause of any such event referred to herein constitutes an “Intervening Event”).

Efforts to Obtain the Company Stockholder Approval

Notwithstanding any Adverse Recommendation Change or any Takeover Proposal, unless the Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company has agreed to hold the Special Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable and to take certain actions in connection therewith, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. Unless the Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company is not permitted to submit to or for a vote of the Company Stockholders any Takeover Proposal. The Company, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Transaction Committee, has (i) determined that the Merger Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Merger Transactions, (iii) declared the Merger Agreement and the Merger Transactions are advisable and (iv) recommended that the Company Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

•

if the restrictions of any takeover law become applicable to any of the Merger Transactions, take all actions necessary to ensure that the Merger Transactions may be consummated as promptly as

With respect to antitrust and foreign investment laws, each of the parties has agreed to:

To assist Parent in complying with its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to, and will cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to, enter into one or more agreements requested by Parent to be entered into by any of them prior to the Closing with respect to any transaction to divest, hold separate or otherwise take any action that limits the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ freedom of action, ownership or control with respect to, or their ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any of the businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any equity interest in any joint venture held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (each, a “Divestiture Action”); provided, however, that the

consummation of the transactions and other actions provided for in any such agreement for a Divestiture Action shall be conditioned upon the Closing or satisfaction of all of the conditions to such closing in a case where such closing will occur immediately following such Divestiture Action (and where Parent has irrevocably committed to effect such closing immediately following such Divestiture Action). In no event shall the Company propose, negotiate, effect or agree to any Remedial Action or Divestiture Action without the prior written consent of Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II. Notwithstanding anything in the Merger Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II nor any of their affiliates shall be required to, (i) agree to, on behalf of itself or the Company (including the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) any Burdensome Condition (as defined below) or (ii) take any action, including any Remedial Action or Divestiture Action, in any respect whatsoever with respect to an affiliate of any of Parent, Merger Sub I any Merger Sub II (including EQT or PSP and any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed or advised by, EQT or PSP or any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) or investment of EQT or PSP or of any such investment fund or investment vehicle), or any interest therein, other than with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries.

Additionally, each of the parties has agreed to cooperate with the other parties to use, and to cause their respective subsidiaries to use, their respective reasonable best efforts to:

•

cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority in connection with the Merger Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority relating to the Merger Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private party;

•

keep the other parties informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Merger Transactions;

•

subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with the other parties hereto with respect to information relating to the other parties and their respective subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third person or any governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority in connection with the Merger Transactions; and

•

to the extent permitted by any applicable governmental antitrust and foreign investment authority or other person, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement “Burdensome Condition” means any Remedial Action imposed upon the Parent Parties or the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with obtaining the approvals under the antitrust and foreign investment laws that, individually or in the aggregate, would or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, results of operations or financial condition of Parent, its subsidiaries and its affiliates (including the Company and its subsidiaries), taken as a whole (after giving effect to the Mergers but before giving effect to such Remedial Action).

LLC, Jefferies LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and Nomura Securities International, Inc. to cause the transactions contemplated by certain letter agreements related to call options on the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes, as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, (the “Capped Call Transactions”) to be exercised, settled, cancelled or otherwise terminated as of the Closing Date, and to enter into any documentation required to effect such termination;

•

promptly provide Parent with any notices or other written communication received from any parties to such letter agreements with respect to the Capped Call Transactions;

•

keep Parent fully informed of all such discussions and negotiations and shall give Parent the option to participate (or have its counsel participate) in any such discussions and negotiations;

•

provide Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written response to any written notice or other document received from any party to such letter agreements with respect to the Capped Call Transactions prior to making any such response; and

•

promptly respond to any reasonable questions from, and reflect any reasonable comments made by, Parent or its counsel with respect thereto prior to making any such response.

The Company will not, and will cause its representatives not to, without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) make any amendments, modifications or other changes to the terms of such letter agreements or (ii) exercise any right it may have, or enter into any agreement, to terminate, or to trigger an early settlement of, any of the Capped Call Transactions (including as to the form of consideration of any amount payable in respect of any such early settlement).

The foregoing covenants do not require the Company to (i) pay any fees, incur or reimburse any costs or expenses, or make any payment in connection with any Capped Call Transactions prior to the occurrence of the Company Merger Effective Time (other than as required under the Capped Call Transactions), (ii) enter into or effect any settlement, termination, instrument or agreement, or agree to any settlement, termination, or any other change or modification to any instrument or agreement, that is effective prior to the occurrence of the Company Merger Effective Time, or (iii) refrain from delivering, or delay the delivery of, any notice required by the terms of the Capped Call Transactions (it being understood that the Company will provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such notice as provided in the Merger Agreement).

Certain Debt Agreements

With respect to certain debt agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries, during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier of (x) the Company Merger Effective Time and (y) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement:

•

take any action, or fail to take any action, if the Company has knowledge that the taking of such action, or the failure to take such action, shall cause a default, potential default or event of default or any equivalent term (each as defined in the applicable specified debt agreement) to occur under any such specified debt agreement (each, a “Debt Default”), except as consented to by Parent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);

•

give any notice, or otherwise take any affirmative action, to terminate any commitments to extend credit that are in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement under any such specified debt agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, other than pursuant to the funding thereof not in contravention of the terms of the Merger Agreement), except as consented to by Parent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and

119

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

amend or modify (or waive its rights under) any such specified debt agreements, except (i) as consented to by Parent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned other than in connection with any Restricted Remedy (as defined below) to address change of control issues under such debt agreements), (ii) for any amendment, supplement or modification to such specified debt agreements to effectuate the incurrence or guarantee of indebtedness permitted by confidential disclosures provided by the Company and OpCo in connection with the Merger Agreement and (iii) for any such amendment, modification or waiver (A) effected in connection with curing or obtaining a waiver of any Debt Default (or any potential Debt Default), (B) solely with respect to guarantee and collateral matters and solely to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver is required by the terms of such debt agreements as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement, (C) solely to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver is required by the terms of such debt agreements as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Merger Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries are permitted to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things determined by the Company in good faith in consultation with Parent to be necessary, proper or advisable in order to cure, or to obtain a waiver of, any Debt Default (or any potential Debt Default), including (i) the payment, repayment, redemption or discharge of all principal, interest, premiums and fees owing by the Company or its subsidiaries to the holders of the applicable specified debt outstanding under the applicable specified debt agreement or (ii) such other actions or things that cause the holders of such specified debt under such specified debt agreement, or the agent on their behalf, to no longer have the right to cause, on account of such Debt Default, the specified debt outstanding thereunder to be due and payable prior to its scheduled final maturity; provided, however, that it is hereby understood and agreed that if any Restricted Remedy (as defined below) was effected to cure, or to obtain a waiver of, such Debt Default, then such Debt Default shall cease to be continuing for purposes of the Merger Agreement only if Parent shall have consented in writing to such Restricted Remedy; provided, further, the parties understand and have agreed that any Debt Default shall not be continuing for purposes of the Merger Agreement if cured or, in accordance with the applicable specific debt agreement, waived by the applicable parties thereto in accordance with the Merger Agreement, in each case, without the consummation of any Restricted Remedy.

The Company has agreed to provide prompt notice to Parent in the event the Company or any of its subsidiaries obtains knowledge, and Parent has agreed to provide prompt notice to counsel for the Company in the event any deal professionals of the Sponsors actively involved with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement obtain actual knowledge, that any Debt Default shall have occurred and is continuing (or, in the case of any such notice by Parent, that any event or circumstance that, had the Company had knowledge thereof, would constitute a Debt Default shall have occurred or shall exist).

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, a “Restricted Remedy” means any of the following under any specified debt agreement:

(i)

(1) any repayment, prepayment, redemption or other discharge by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any principal of any specified debt, including as a result of the refinancing thereof with the proceeds of specified debt incurred after the date of the Merger Agreement, (2) the payment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the holders of any specified debt of any fees, premiums or other amounts in order to obtain their waiver of any Debt Default or (3) any modification to the rate of interest on, or to any premiums or fees (or similar amounts) payable to the holders thereof in respect of, any specified debt, including the addition of any premiums or fees (or similar amounts) not set forth in the applicable specified debt agreements as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement, but, in the case of clauses (1) through (3) above, only if, when taken as a whole, the net present value (calculated in a commercially reasonable manner using a discount rate of 10.0%) of the aggregate impact of such actions exceeds $25,750,000; provided that it is understood that (x) any payment, repayment, prepayment, redemption or other discharge of any amounts that are required to be paid, repaid, prepaid, redeemed or otherwise discharged by the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any of the specified debt agreements shall, except to the extent such requirement arose solely as a result of or in connection with the occurrence of a Debt Default, be disregarded for purposes of this clause (i) and shall not constitute a Restricted Remedy and (y) any payments or other actions described in clause (1) through (3) above taken after

120

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the date of the Merger Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with any waiver agreements or otherwise in order to waive, cure or otherwise cure any change of control (as defined in any specified debt agreement) related to the Merger Transactions and the transactions related to the equity financing commitments shall be deemed to be a payment or action subject to clause (1), (2) or (3) above, as applicable;

(ii)

incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its subsidiaries incurred after the date of the Merger Agreement to repay, prepay, redeem or otherwise discharge any existing specified debt in connection with any cure or waiver of any Debt Default, unless the terms of the specified debt agreement governing such debt, had such terms been effected as an amendment of the specified debt agreement governing the applicable existing specified debt being refinanced thereby, would not constitute a Restricted Remedy under clause (iii) below;

(iii)

any amendment, modification or waiver of the terms of any specified debt agreement if such amendment, modification or waiver, when taken together with all other such amendments, modifications or waivers, (1) results in restrictive covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries under any specified debt agreement that are more restrictive in any material respect to the Company and its subsidiaries compared to the restrictive covenants set forth in such specified debt agreement as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement, (2) unless such modification is permitted under clause (i) above, modifies, in a manner that is adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the stated rate of interest on, or premiums or fees payable to the holders thereof in respect of, any specified debt, (3) modifies the scheduled final maturity or scheduled amortization of any specified debt (including by adding scheduled payments of principal of any specified debt that are not set forth in the specified debt agreements as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement) in a manner that reduces the weighted average life to maturity of the specified debt by more than six months compared to the weighted average life to maturity of the specified debt as it would be, at the time of determination, in effect in the absence of any such modification or (4) unless such modification is permitted under clause (i) above, modifies, in a manner that is adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, mandatory prepayment or mandatory redemption provisions set forth in any specified debt agreement (other than any such provisions that are covered in clause (3) above, which shall be subject to such clause (3) and not this clause (4)); or

(iv)

any amendment, modification or waiver of the terms of any specified debt agreement which cures, waives, amends, modifies or otherwise addresses any provisions related to a change of control (as defined in any specified debt agreement) or any equivalent or corresponding term (except that Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any such amendment, modification or waiver to the extent the payment of a waiver fee permitted under clause (i) above constitutes the sole material obligation of the Company with respect therefor, and such amendment, modification or waiver shall not constitute a Restricted Remedy);

provided that none of the following shall constitute a Restricted Remedy: (a) any amendment to any specified debt agreement that, in the good-faith judgment of the Company in consultation with Parent, is a technical or clarifying change and (b) any amendment to the specified debt agreements solely with respect to guarantee and collateral matters and solely to the extent such amendment is required by the terms of the specified debt agreements as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement.

Financing

Parent has obtained equity financing commitments for an aggregate amount of $1,798,600,000 for purposes of financing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Sponsors have committed to capitalize Parent at the Closing with equity contributions equal to $1,079,160,000 and $719,440,000, respectively, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the equity

121

TABLE OF CONTENTS

commitment letters between the applicable Sponsors, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand. In addition, the Sponsors have provided termination equity financing commitments in favor of Parent to fund Parent’s obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee that may become payable to the Company under certain circumstances, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and such termination equity financing commitments.

Indemnification and Insurance

Parent has agreed to cause the Surviving Corporation to assume, upon the Company Merger Effective Time, all obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time existing as of the date of the Merger Agreement in favor of the current or former directors, officers employees or agents of the Company and its subsidiaries (“Indemnitees”). For a period of six years commencing at the Company Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance covering those Indemnitees who were as of the date of the Merger Agreement (and any additional Indemnitees who prior to the Company Merger Effective Time become) covered by such insurance on terms and scope, and in an amount, no less favorable to such Indemnitees than those in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement, provided that the maximum aggregate annual premium for such insurance that Parent shall be required to expend shall not exceed 300% of the annual directors’ and officers’ insurance premium for the Company’s then-current fiscal year.

Employee Benefits Matters

The Merger Agreement provides that for a period of one year following the Company Merger Effective Time (or until an earlier termination of employment), Parent will provide each employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) a base salary or wages (as applicable) and target annual cash incentive opportunities that are no less favorable than those in effect immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, (ii) severance benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those that would have been provided to such Continuing Employee under the applicable severance plans and arrangements disclosed to Parent and (iii) employee benefit plans and arrangements (other than the annual cash bonus opportunities referred to in clause (i) above and any long-term incentive, equity-based, change in control, retention or similar non-recurring compensation and benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time.

Parent will honor, in accordance with their terms, all the Company Benefit Plans as in effect at the Company Merger Effective Time. Parent has acknowledged in the Merger Agreement that the Mergers will constitute a “change in control” or “change of control” (or term of similar import) for purposes of the Company Benefit Plans.

The Merger Agreement provides that each participant in a Company Benefit Plan that is an annual cash incentive plan will receive a cash bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, based on: (i) for the portion of the year in which the Closing occurs that elapses prior to Closing, projected full-year actual performance, pro-rated based on the portion of the plan year elapsed prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Bonus”) and (ii) for the remainder of the year, full-year target performance, pro-rated based on the remaining duration of the performance period (the “Post-Closing Bonus”). Payment of the annual cash bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs is generally contingent on the Continuing Employee’s continued employment through the payment date, provided, however, that in the event of a termination without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) between the Closing and the end of the performance period, such Continuing Employee would receive an amount equal to (x) the Pre-Closing Bonus and (y) a portion of the Post-Closing Bonus, pro-rated based on the number of days such Continuing Employee was employed between the Closing and the end of the performance period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and a termination fee is paid under the circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, payment of the applicable termination fee, subject to the reimbursement and indemnification obligations described above, will be the sole and exclusive monetary damages remedy available to the payee in respect of any and all losses incurred as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be consummated and, upon payment of such applicable termination fee in such circumstances, none of the payor and its related parties will have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Fees and Expenses

Except with respect to the Company Termination Fee (including the reimbursement of the Expense Reimbursement, if any) and the Parent Termination Fee, whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such transactions and the Merger Agreement will be paid by the party incurring or required to incur such fees or expenses, except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement.

To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of the Merger Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Amendment or Supplement

The Merger Agreement may be amended or supplemented by the parties at any time prior to the Company Merger Effective Time; provided that after the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval there may not be any amendment of the Merger Agreement for which law requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such approval.

Extension of Time, Waiver, etc.

At any time prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, Parent and the Company may, subject to applicable law, (i) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party, (ii) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other party or (iii) subject to the requirements of applicable law, waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such party’s conditions (it being understood that Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall, and the Company and OpCo shall, each be deemed a single party for purposes of the foregoing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, OpCo, Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II in exercising any right under the Merger Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under the Merger Agreement.

Governing Law

The Merger Agreement, and any cause of action between any of the parties to the Merger Agreement relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable conflict of laws principles.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Specific Enforcement

The parties agreed that irreparable damage for which monetary relief (including any termination fee that becomes payable in accordance with the Merger Agreement), even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of the Merger Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties fail to take any action required of them under the Merger Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. Subject to certain limitations, the parties also acknowledged and agreed that (i) the parties are entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under the Merger Agreement, (ii) the provisions described under “— Termination Fees” (A) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of the Merger Agreement and (B) are not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to specific enforcement and (iii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into the Merger Agreement. Additionally, the parties agreed not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties further acknowledged and agreed that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Notwithstanding anything in the Merger Agreement to the contrary, the parties have agreed that the right of the Company to seek or obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent’s obligation to cause the equity financing to be funded to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and to effect the Closing (but not the right of the Company to seek such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for any other reason prior to termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms) are subject to the following requirements: (A) the No Restraints Condition and the Antitrust and Foreign Investment Approvals Condition have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which are, at the time the written notice referred to in clause (B) below is delivered by the Company, capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such written notice); (B) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Parent that the Company Stockholder Approval Condition has been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which are, at the time such written notice is delivered by the Company, capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such written notice) and that it is ready, willing and able to consummate such closing; and (C) Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II have failed to close the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on or prior to the date that is the later of (1) the first date upon which such closing is required to occur under the Merger Agreement, and (2) the date that is five business days following the delivery of the notice referred to in clause (B) above.

Extension of the End Date

If, prior to the End Date, any party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement by any other party or the Company brings any action seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the equity commitment letters, the End Date will be automatically extended (i) for the period during which such action is pending, plus 20 business days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be.

PROPOSAL 2: THE ADVISORY COMPENSATION PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act, we are asking Company Stockholders to approve, by advisory (nonbinding) vote, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to our named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the Mergers. As required by those rules, the Company is asking Company Stockholders to vote on the approval of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation that will or may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as disclosed in the table entitled “Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement — Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers”, including the associated narrative discussion, and the agreements, arrangements or understandings pursuant to which such compensation will or may be paid or become payable, are hereby APPROVED.”

The vote on executive compensation payable in connection with the consummation of the Mergers is a vote separate and apart from the vote to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal. Accordingly, Company Stockholders may vote to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal and vote not to approve such compensation and vice versa. Because the vote is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on the Company or the Board; as the Company is contractually obligated to pay such compensation, such compensation will be paid or become payable, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, if the Mergers are consummated and regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote.

The Company Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Advisory Compensation Proposal.

PROPOSAL 3: THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

We are asking you to approve a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting (the Adjournment Proposal). If Company Stockholders approve the Adjournment Proposal, we could adjourn the Special Meeting and any adjourned session of the Special Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including soliciting proxies from Company Stockholders that have previously returned properly executed proxies voting against the Merger Agreement Proposal. Among other things, approval of the Adjournment Proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes against the Merger Agreement Proposal such that the Merger Agreement Proposal would be defeated, we could adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on the Merger Agreement Proposal and seek to convince the holders of those shares to change their votes to votes in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal. Additionally, we may seek to adjourn the Special Meeting if a quorum is not present or otherwise at the discretion of the chairman of the Special Meeting.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Company Capital Stock properly cast for and against the Adjournment Proposal.

Assuming a quorum is present, (a) a failure to vote in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal, (b) abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal and (c) broker “non-votes” (if any) will have no effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal. If a quorum is not present, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Adjournment Proposal. Shares of Company Capital Stock represented by properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon. If a Company Stockholder returns a signed proxy card without indicating voting preferences on such proxy card, the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by that proxy will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for the Special Meeting and all of such shares will be voted as recommended by the Company Board.

The Company does not intend to call a vote on the Adjournment Proposal if the Merger Agreement Proposal is approved at the Special Meeting.

The Company Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our voting stock as of May 9, 2023, by:

•

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our outstanding shares of voting stock;

•

each of our directors;

•

each of our NEOs; and

•

all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity, person, director or executive officer is determined in accordance with SEC rules, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power as well as any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of May 9, 2023 through the exercise of any stock option or other rights. Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of stock held by that person.

The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed as of May 9, 2023 on the basis of (a) [99,664,040] shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding, (b) [10,255,811] shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding, (c) 1,600,000 shares of our Series A Founder Preferred Stock outstanding and (d) 1,386,033 shares of our Series B Founder Preferred Stock outstanding. Shares of our stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of May 9, 2023 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but not for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. In addition, beneficial ownership of shares of our Class A Common Stock below does not reflect any impact of a redemption by a holder of OpCo Class B Common Units, LTIP Units or Series B Rollover Profits Units, as the Company retains the right to determine whether to redeem such units for cash or shares of Class A Common Stock. Except as set forth below, the address for each beneficial owner listed is c/o Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc., 3 Bala Plaza East, Suite 502, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania 19004.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Mergers are completed, we will have no public stockholders and there will be no public participation in any future meetings of Company Stockholders. However, if the Mergers are not completed, you will continue to be entitled to attend and participate in stockholders meetings, including the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders, and, if the Mergers are not completed prior to the date thereof, we will provide notice of or otherwise publicly disclose the dates on which future annual meetings of Company Stockholders will be held. We expect to hold a 2023 annual meeting of its stockholders.

As described in our proxy statement for our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, for stockholders who wish to present a proposal or nomination before the 2023 Annual Meeting, but do not intend to have their proposal included in our proxy statement and related materials for our 2023 Annual Meeting (the “2023 Proxy Statement”), the Company Bylaws also provide for notice procedures to recommend a person for nomination as a director or to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting other than those to be included in the 2023 Proxy Statement. To be considered timely under these provisions, the stockholder’s notice must have been received by the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above between January 26, 2023 and February 25, 2023; provided, however, that if the 2023 Annual Meeting date is advanced or delayed more than 25 days from the first anniversary of the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then stockholders must provide notice within other time periods specified in the Company Bylaws. The Company Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing advance notice requirements under the Company Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules under the Exchange Act, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must have provided notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 27, 2023.

All notices of proposals and director nominations by Company Stockholders for the 2023 Annual Meeting were required to be sent to Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc., 3 Bala Plaza East, Suite 502, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, Attention: General Counsel and Secretary.

SECTION 5.02. Solicitation; Change in Recommendation.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.02, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors and employees to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other Representatives to, (i) on the date hereof (the “No-Shop Period Start Date”), immediately (A) cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions, communications or negotiations with any persons with respect to a Takeover Proposal, potential Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, in each case, that existed prior to the date of this Agreement, (B) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished in connection therewith and (C) immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such person or its Representatives, in each case, other than with respect to Parent and its Affiliates and Representatives and (ii) from the No-Shop Period Start Date until the Company obtains the Company Stockholder Approval, not, directly or indirectly, (A) initiate, solicit or knowingly facilitate, induce or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) the making or submission of any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, (B) enter into, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other person any non-public information or access in connection with, in response to or for the purpose of, facilitating or encouraging, a Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal (other than Parent and its Affiliates and Representatives), (C) approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend, any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (D) waive any standstill or similar agreement, (E) take any action to make any provision of any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation (or any related provision in the Company’s governing documents) applicable to any transactions contemplated by a Takeover Proposal and/or (F) authorize any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.02(a), if at any time on or after the No-Shop Period Start Date and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company receives a bona fide written Takeover Proposal, which Takeover Proposal did not result from any breach of this Section 5.02 by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives, (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that the failure to take the actions set forth in the following clauses (x) and (y) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company may (and may authorize its Representatives to) (x) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such person or group and furnish pursuant thereto information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to such person or group and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with, and only with, such person or group with respect to such Takeover Proposal.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company from and after the date hereof that contains provisions that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, except that such confidentiality agreement need not restrict the making of, or amendment or modification to, any confidential Takeover Proposal to the Company Board.

(c) Following the No-Shop Period Start Date and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall (i) promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof by the Company or any of its Representatives) notify Parent orally and in writing in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives receives a Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer, proposal, request for information or discussion that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, and such notice shall disclose to Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal or other inquiry (and a copy of such Takeover Proposal or other inquiry, if in writing, including any draft agreements or term sheets, financing commitments and other documents submitted therewith) and the identity of the person or group of persons making such Takeover Proposal or other inquiry and (ii) keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects on a current basis of the status and any developments with respect to any such Takeover Proposal or other inquiry, offer or proposal (including any material changes thereto) and shall provide Parent with a copy of any written documents delivered to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Representatives that contain any material amendments thereto or any material change to the material terms or conditions thereof, including notifying Parent in writing if the Company determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning a Takeover Proposal in accordance with Section 5.02(b). The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with any person that prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.02 or otherwise prevents the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives from complying with their respective obligations in this Section 5.02.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 5.02(d), neither the Company Board, the Transaction Committee nor any duly authorized committee of the Company Board shall (i) (A) withhold or withdraw (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent), the Company Board Recommendation, or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (B) approve or endorse or adopt, or recommend the approval, endorsement or adoption of, or publicly propose to recommend, approve, endorse or adopt, any Takeover Proposal, (C) fail to reaffirm publicly the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days (or if earlier, the Business Day prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting) of a request therefor in writing from Parent following the public disclosure of a Takeover Proposal or (D) fail to recommend against, in a Schedule 14D-9 any Takeover Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D promulgated under the Exchange Act within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of such tender offer or exchange offer (it being understood that the Company Board may, and may cause the Company to, (x) make a customary “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, and (y) elect to take no position with respect to a Takeover Proposal until the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the commencement of such Takeover Proposal pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act (any action described in this clause (i), other than the actions in the immediately preceding parenthetical, being considered an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) adopt, authorize or declare advisable or publicly propose to adopt, authorize or declare advisable or authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, joint venture agreement, license agreement, alliance agreement or other similar agreement or arrangement related to any Takeover Proposal, other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company Board may (1) authorize and make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.02 or an Intervening Event if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (2) authorize and cause the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.02 and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that (I) the failure to take such action

A-35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (II) such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company Board shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, take any action set forth in clause (1) or (2) (other than the authorization thereof subject to compliance with this proviso) unless (A) the Company has given Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall specify the material terms of any such Superior Proposal and the identity of the person or group of persons making such Superior Proposal) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any financial term or other materials terms or conditions (including the provision of financing) of any Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new notice period (which shall be two (2) Business Days instead of four (4) Business Days)), (B) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Subsidiaries and Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, and (C) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board has considered in good faith such binding offer, and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determined that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and in the case of any action pursuant to clause (1) with respect to a Takeover Proposal or action pursuant to clause (2), after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Takeover Proposal subject to such notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in such binding offer by Parent were to be given effect; provided, further, that any purported termination of this Agreement in accordance with clause (2) to this sentence shall be void and of no force and effect unless the termination is in accordance with Section 7.01(d)(ii) and the Company pays or causes to be paid to Parent the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.03 prior to or concurrently with such termination. Subject to this Section 5.02 (including Section 5.02(d)), the parties hereby agree that the Company Board may only withhold or withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent) the Company Board Recommendation through properly adopted resolutions of the Company Board.

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.02 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board, to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company Board, the Transaction Committee or any duly authorized committee of the Company Board take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 5.02(d). Any Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with Section 5.02(d).

(f) As used in this Agreement, the term “Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person or group of persons (other than Parent and its Affiliates) relating to (i) any direct or indirect acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company (including any direct or indirect acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of equity interests in any Subsidiary of the Company) and its Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company Board), (ii) any direct or indirect acquisition, purchase or issuances, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of 20% or more of the aggregate outstanding Company Capital Stock or 20% or more of the aggregate outstanding equity interests in any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or group of persons beneficially owning 20% or more of the aggregate Company Capital Stock or 20% or more of the aggregate outstanding equity interests in any Subsidiary of the Company or (iv) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which such person or group of persons (or the stockholders of any person) would acquire, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company (including any direct or indirect acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of equity interests in any Subsidiary of the Company) and its

Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company Board) or 20% or more of the aggregate equity securities of the Company or of the surviving entity in a merger involving the Company or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity, in each case, other than the Transactions.

(g) As used in this Agreement, the term “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Takeover Proposal that the Company Board has determined in its good-faith judgment, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (i) would, if consummated, be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the Transactions from a financial point of view, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal (including the legal, financial (including financing terms), regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal and the identity of the person making the proposal) and this Agreement (including any changes proposed by Parent to the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, taking into account all legal, financial (including financing terms), regulatory, timing and other aspects of such proposal; provided that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (A) take all actions necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Merger Transactions and refrain from taking any actions that would cause the applicability of such Laws and (B) if the restrictions of any Takeover Law become applicable to any of the Merger Transactions, take all actions necessary to ensure that the Merger Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise lawfully minimize the effect of such Takeover Law on the Merger Transactions.

In no event shall the Company propose, negotiate, effect or agree to any Remedial Action or Divestiture Action without the prior written consent of the Parent Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.03 or any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Parent Parties nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to, (i) agree to, on behalf of itself or the Company (including the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) any Burdensome Condition or (ii) take any action, including any Remedial Action or Divestiture Action, in any respect whatsoever with respect to an Affiliate of any Parent Party (including EQT AB or the Public Sector Pension Investment Board and any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed or advised by, EQT AB or the Public Sector Pension Investment Board or any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) or investment of EQT AB or the Public Sector Pension Investment Board or of any such investment fund or investment vehicle), or any interest therein, other than with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Parent and Parent’s Representatives (i) shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company and (ii) shall not be permitted to conduct any Phase II environmental site assessment or similar sampling, testing or invasive investigation (including of soil, water, air or surfaces) at, on or under any real property of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment after consultation with its counsel, that doing so could violate applicable Law or waive the protection of an attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other legal privilege. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the immediately preceding sentence or pursuant to the first proviso of this Section 5.05, it shall provide notice to Parent that it is withholding such access or information and shall use its reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable Law, Contract or obligation or risk waiver of such privilege. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be directed to the General Counsel of the Company or other person designated by the Company. Until the Company Merger Effective Time, all information provided by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.05 and Section 5.02 will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any information covered by or subject to the Confidentiality Agreement may be disclosed to prospective co-investors and investors in connection with the investment, co-investment, syndication and/or marketing of any portion of any Equity Financing subject to receipt of customary confidentiality undertakings from such prospective co-investors and investors. The Company hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Parent such information that is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the completion of its “anti-money laundering” and “know your customer” compliance undertakings applicable to Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

SECTION 5.06. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Company Merger Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Company Merger Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnitee was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a director or officer or fiduciary of another person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Company Merger Effective Time (including any Action relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnitee), to the fullest extent the Company would have been permitted to do so under applicable Law, and (ii) assume all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time as provided in the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws and the Organizational Documents of such Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof or in any agreement in existence as of the date hereof providing for indemnification between the Company and any Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date hereof in the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees. In addition, from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, advance any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section 5.06 (including in

A-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred to in this Section 5.06) as incurred to the fullest extent the Company would have been permitted to do so under applicable Law; provided that, the individual to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it shall be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.06(a).

(b) None of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Action relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.06 (each, a “Claim”) for which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnitee hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnitee otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Company Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time with respect to those individuals who are currently (and any additional individuals who prior to the Company Merger Effective Time become) covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided that, (i) if any Claim (whether arising before, at or after the Company Merger Effective Time) is brought against an Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Company Merger Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.06 shall continue in effect until the full and final resolution of such Claim and (ii) if the aggregate annual premium for such insurance exceeds 300% of the current annual premium for such insurance, then Parent shall provide or cause to be provided a policy for the applicable individuals with the greatest coverage as is then available at a cost up to but not exceeding 300% of such current aggregate annual premium. The Company shall purchase, prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, covering without limitation the Mergers and the other Transactions; provided that, (x) Parent shall have the right to approve the proposed policy prior to purchase, and (y) in no event shall the aggregate annual premium for such insurance exceed 300% of the current annual premium for such insurance. If such prepaid “tail” policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance pursuant to this Section 5.06(c).

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.06 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws, by Contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.06 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.06 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee has consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.06 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.06).

(e) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties, rights and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall

A-41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.06.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall, release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.06 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

SECTION 5.07. Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Merger Transactions by each individual who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 5.08. Employee Matters.

(a) During the period commencing at the Company Merger Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the date on which the Company Merger Effective Time occurs (or until an earlier termination of employment), Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all the assets and business of the Surviving Corporation, its successors and assigns) to provide, each individual who is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”) with (i) a base salary or wages (as applicable) and target annual cash incentive opportunities that are no less favorable than those in effect immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, (ii) severance benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those that would have been provided to such Company Employee under the applicable severance benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements and arrangements set forth in Section 5.08(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (iii) employee benefit plans and arrangements (other than (x) annual cash bonus opportunities referred to in clause (i) above and (y) any long-term incentive, equity-based, change in control, retention or similar non-recurring compensation and benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to the Company Employees immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.08(a), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) honor in accordance with their terms all the Company Benefit Plans, as in effect at the Company Merger Effective Time and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively at work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time and (B) to recognize the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Company Merger Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, except to the extent that such limits or forfeitures applied under the Company Benefit Plan in effect as of the Company Merger Effective Time.

(c) Parent hereby acknowledges that the consummation of the Mergers constitutes a “change in control” or “change or control” (or a term of similar import) for purposes of any Company Benefit Plan that contains a definition of a “change in control” or “change or control” (or a term of similar import), as applicable.

(d) With respect to all employee benefit plans of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, including any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) (including any vacation,

A-42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits and vesting, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer was recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (or in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all the assets and business of the Surviving Corporation, its successors and assigns); provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(e) Each participant in a Company Benefit Plan that is an annual cash incentive plan (each, an “Annual Incentive Plan”) shall receive a cash bonus in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in respect of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs; provided that, such bonus shall be no less than (i) with respect to the portion of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs ending on the Closing Date, an amount equal to the cash bonus calculated under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan based on the projected full-year actual performance under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan as of the Closing, prorated for the portion of the year elapsed between the beginning of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs and the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Bonus”) and (ii) with respect to the remainder of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, an amount equal to no less than full-year target performance for each participant under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, prorated for the portion of the year elapsed between the Closing Date and the end of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs (the “Post-Closing Bonus” and, together with the Pre-Closing Bonus, the “Closing Year Bonus”). Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to, pay the amount payable, if any, under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan to the applicable Company Employees at the same time that such bonuses are typically paid in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Company Employee is terminated by Parent or its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) following the Closing but prior to the payment date for such bonus amounts, if any, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to, pay to such Company Employee, at such time set forth in the preceding sentence, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the applicable Pre-Closing Bonus and (y) a portion of the applicable Post-Closing Bonus pro-rated based on the number of days the applicable Company Employee was employed between the Closing Date and the end of the performance period.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.08 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.08 is intended to, or shall, (i) constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise, (ii) prevent the Company, its Subsidiaries, Parent or the Surviving Entities from amending or terminating any of their respective benefit plans (including any Company Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms), (iii) prevent Parent, after the Company Merger Effective Time, from terminating the employment of any employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries who continue to be actively employed by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in no current or former employee, any other individual associated therewith or any collective bargaining representative thereof.

The representations and warranties of the Company Parties (i) set forth in Section 3.02(a), Section 3.02(b) and Section 3.02(c) (solely with respect to the Company and OpCo) shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date with the same effect as though made as of the Closing Date (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), except in the case of this clause (i) for de minimis inaccuracies, (ii) set forth in Section 3.03(a), Section 3.03(b), Section 3.03(c), Section 3.03(d), Section 3.03(e)(i), Section 3.13, Section 3.18 and Section 3.19 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date with the same effect as though made as of the Closing Date (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), (iii) set forth in Section 3.05(b) shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date with the same effect as though made as of the Closing Date and (iv) set forth in the Agreement, other than those Sections specifically identified in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.02(a), shall be true and correct (disregarding all qualifications or limitations as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import set forth therein) as of the Closing Date with the same effect as though made as of the Closing Date (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), except, in the case of this clause (iv), where the failure to be true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Solely for the purposes of clause (i) of this Section 6.02(a), if one or more inaccuracies in the sections referred to in clause (i) of this Section 6.02(a) would cause the aggregate amount required to be paid by the Parent Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to consummate the Mergers and pay all fees and expenses in connection therewith increase by $4,000,000 or more, such inaccuracy or inaccuracies will not be considered de minimis. Parent shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company Parties by an executive officer of the Company to such effect.

(e) Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred any effect, change, event, circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Waiver Agreements.

(ii) this Agreement is validly terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(ii); or

(iii) this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(ii);

then, in each case, the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent or its designee by wire transfer of same-day funds, (x) in the case of Section 7.03(a)(i), within five (5) Business Days after the consummation of, the Takeover Proposal referred to in clause (i)(C) above, (y) in the case of Section 7.03(a)(ii), simultaneously with such termination and (z) in the case of Section 7.03(a)(iii), within five (5) Business Days after such termination (it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay any Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion).

As used herein, “Company Termination Fee” shall mean a cash amount equal to $52,000,000.

(b) In the event that the Company shall validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(i) or Section 7.01(d)(iii), or Parent shall validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) and at such time the Company could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(i) or Section 7.01(d)(iii), then Parent shall pay to the Company a termination fee of $103,000,000 in cash (the “Parent Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds within five (5) Business Days after such termination (it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion).

(c) Without limiting or otherwise affecting other remedies that may be available to the Parent Parties, in the event of termination of this Agreement by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iii) at a time when none of the Parent Parties is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, the Company shall pay to, or as directed by, Parent as promptly as possible (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) following receipt of an invoice therefor for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment banks, advisors, consultants and other Representatives incurred by the Parent Parties and/or their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), up to an aggregate maximum of $7,500,000, which amount shall be credited against any Company Termination Fee that becomes subsequently payable to Parent.

(d) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the Merger Transactions, and that without these agreements, the other parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement and none of the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee and payments pursuant to Section 7.03(c) shall constitute a penalty but are liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as applicable, in the

circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee or payments pursuant to Section 7.03(c) is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.03, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences an Action which results in a judgment against the other parties for the payment set forth in this Section 7.03, such paying party shall pay the other party, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

(e) Subject in all respects to the Company’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 8.08 and the reimbursement and indemnification obligations of Parent under Section 7.03(d) hereof, each of the parties hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.03(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and any of their respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, shareholders, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) against the Parent Parties, the Sponsors or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, equityholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise (whether willful (including willful and material breach), intentional, unilateral or otherwise) or any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith and upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee none of the Parent Parties, the Sponsors or any other Parent Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger Transactions, the Equity Funding Letters or the Termination Equity Commitment Letters and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any other Company Related Party shall seek to recover any other damages or seek any other remedy, whether based on a claim at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any losses or damages suffered in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Subject in all respects to Parent’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 8.08 and the reimbursement and indemnification obligations of the Company under Section 7.03(c) hereof, each of the parties hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement, and receive payment of the Company Termination Fee in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.03(a), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Parent Related Parties against the Company Related Parties for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise (whether willful (including willful and material breach), intentional, unilateral or otherwise) or any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith and upon payment of the Company Termination Fee none of the Company or any Company Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger Transactions and none of the Parent Parties nor any other Parent Related Party shall seek to recover any other damages or seek any other remedy, whether based on a claim at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any losses or damages suffered in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. While each of the Company and Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.08 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable, under this Section 7.03, under no circumstances shall the Company or Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that

results in the Closing and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable.

ARTICLE VIII

Miscellaneous

SECTION 8.01. No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Company Merger Effective Time. This Section 8.01 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Company Merger Effective Time.

SECTION 8.02. Amendment or Supplement. At any time prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects; provided that, any amendment or supplement to this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto; provided, further, that following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there shall be no amendment or change to the provisions hereof which by Law would require further approval by the stockholders of the Company.

SECTION 8.03. Extension of Time, Waiver, etc. At any time prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, Parent and the Company may, subject to applicable Law, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other party or (c) subject to the requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such party’s conditions (it being understood that Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall, and the Company and OpCo shall, each be deemed a single party for purposes of the foregoing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, OpCo, Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

SECTION 8.04. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that Parent may assign, in its sole discretion, all of the rights, interests and obligations of Parent under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Parent but no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its obligations under this Agreement. No assignment by any party hereto shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the immediately preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.04 shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall restrict Parent from transferring its ownership of Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II to another of Parent’s direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries that is treated as a regarded U.S. entity (or a disregarded U.S. wholly owned Subsidiary thereof) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent such transfer would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay, interfere with, impair or hinder the consummation of the Transactions on a timely basis.

SECTION 8.05. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or email), each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 8.06. Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and any exhibits, annexes or schedules hereto, including the Company Disclosure Letter, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Equity Funding Letters and the Termination Equity Commitment Letters, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and except for (a) if the Company Merger Effective Time occurs, the right

A-53

of the holders of Company Equity Awards to receive the Equity Award Consideration, (b) if the Closing occurs, the right of the holders of Company Capital Stock and OpCo Common Units to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, (c) if the Company Merger Effective Time occurs, the rights of the Indemnitees set forth in Section 5.06 of this Agreement, and (d) the rights of the Parent Related Parties and the Company Related Parties set forth in Section 7.03(e) and Section 8.15,which are intended for the benefit of the persons and shall be enforceable by the persons referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above.

SECTION 8.07. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement, and any cause of action between any of the parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable conflict of laws principles.

(b) All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware) or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware (the “Selected Courts”). In addition, each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the Transactions, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Selected Courts and (iv) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 8.10.

SECTION 8.08. Specific Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief (including any fee payable pursuant to Section 7.03 but subject to the limitations therein), even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement. Subject to the following sentence and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.07(b) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, (b) the provisions set forth in Section 7.03 (i) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and (ii) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to specific enforcement and (c) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is explicitly agreed that the right of the Company to seek or obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and to effect the Closing (but not the right of the Company to seek such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for any other reason prior to termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII) shall be subject to the requirements that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which are, at the time the written notice referred to in clause (B) below is delivered by the Company, capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such written notice), (B) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Parent that all conditions in Section 6.03 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which are, at the time such

A-54

written notice is delivered by the Company, capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such written notice)and that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing, and (C) the Parent Parties fail to consummate the Closing on or prior to the date that is the later of (I) the first date upon which the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.02, and (II) the date that is five (5) Business Days following the delivery of such notice referred to in clause (B) above. The parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.08 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If, prior to the End Date, any party hereto brings any Action, in accordance with Section 8.07, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party or the Company brings any Action seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Equity Funding Letters, the End Date shall automatically be extended (x) for the period during which such Action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (y) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action, as the case may be.

SECTION 8.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.09.

Members of the Board of Directors:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Radius Class A Common Stock”), of Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. (“Radius”) of the Merger Consideration (defined below) to be received by such holders pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) proposed to be entered into among Radius, APW OpCo LLC (“OpCo”), Chord Parent, Inc. (“Parent”), Chord Merger Sub I, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub I”) and Chord Merger Sub II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub I (“Merger Sub II”). As more fully described in the Merger Agreement, (a) (i) Merger Sub I will be merged with and into Radius and (ii) Merger Sub II will be merged with and into OpCo (the “Mergers”) and (b) each outstanding share of the Radius Class A Common Stock, other than (i) Appraisal Shares and (ii) Owned Company Common Stock (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be converted into the right to receive $15.00, in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Mergers are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed a draft, dated March 1, 2023, of the Merger Agreement and held discussions with certain senior officers, directors and other representatives and advisors of Radius concerning the business, operations and prospects of Radius. We examined certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Radius as well as certain financial forecasts and other information and data relating to Radius which were provided to or discussed with us by the management of Radius. We reviewed the financial terms of the Mergers as set forth in the Merger Agreement in relation to, among other things: current and historical market prices and trading volumes of Radius Class A Common Stock; the historical and projected earnings and other operating data of Radius; and the capitalization and financial condition of Radius. In connection with our engagement and at the direction of Radius, we were requested to approach, and we held discussions with, third parties to solicit indications of interest in the possible acquisition of Radius. In addition to the foregoing, we conducted such other analyses and examinations and considered such other information and financial, economic and market criteria as we deemed appropriate in arriving at our opinion. The issuance of our opinion has been authorized by our fairness opinion committee.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed and relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information and data publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us and upon the assurances of the management of Radius that they are not aware of any relevant information that has been omitted or that remains undisclosed to us. With respect to financial forecasts and other information and data relating to Radius provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us, we have been advised by the management of Radius, and we have assumed, with your consent, that such financial forecasts and other information and data were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Radius as to, and are a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate, the future financial performance of Radius and the other matters covered thereby. We express no view or opinion as to any financial forecasts and other information or data (or underlying assumptions on which any such financial forecasts and other information or data are based) provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us.

We have assumed, with your consent, that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms, conditions and agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases for the Mergers, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Radius or the Mergers or that otherwise would be meaningful to our opinion or analysis. Representatives of Radius have advised us, and we further have assumed, with your consent, that the final terms of the Merger Agreement will not vary materially from those set forth in the draft reviewed by us. We have not made or been provided with an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent, accrued, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise) of Radius or any other entity nor have we made any physical inspection of the properties or assets of Radius or any other entity. We have not evaluated the solvency or fair value of Radius or any other entity under any state, federal or other laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. We also are not expressing any view or opinion as to the prices at which the Radius Class A Common Stock or any other securities will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time, including following the announcement of the Mergers. We are not expressing any view or opinion with respect to accounting, tax, regulatory, legal or similar matters, including, without limitation, as to tax or other consequences of the Mergers or otherwise or changes in, or the impact of, accounting standards or tax and other laws, regulations and governmental and legislative policies affecting Radius or the Mergers (including the contemplated benefits thereof), and we have relied, with your consent, upon the assessments of representatives of Radius as to such matters.

Our opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date hereof, of the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of shares of Radius Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, without regard to individual circumstances of holders of the Radius Class A Common Stock that may distinguish such holders or the securities of Radius held by such holders, and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Mergers, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Mergers, the OpCo Merger and the Rollover Agreement (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) and any consideration payable in connection therewith, the allocation of the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement among the holders of, or the treatment or cancellation for no consideration of, the various types of shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any terms, aspects or implications of any agreement, arrangement or understanding to be entered into or amended or modified in connection with or contemplated by the Mergers, or the amount thereof relative to the Merger Consideration or otherwise. We express no view as to, and our opinion does not address, the underlying business decision of Radius to effect or enter into the Mergers, the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for Radius or the effect of any other transaction in which Radius might engage or consider. We also express no view as to, and our opinion does not address, the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation or other consideration to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Mergers, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger Consideration or otherwise. Our opinion is necessarily based upon information available to us, and financial, stock market and other conditions and circumstances existing and disclosed to us, as of the date hereof. Although subsequent developments may affect our opinion, we have no obligation to update, revise or reaffirm our opinion. As you are aware, the credit, financial and stock markets, the industries in which Radius operates and the securities of Radius have experienced and may continue to experience volatility and we express no view or opinion as to any potential effects of such volatility on Radius or the Mergers (including the contemplated benefits thereof).

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has acted as financial advisor to Radius in connection with the proposed Mergers and will receive a fee for such services, of which a portion is payable upon delivery of this opinion and the principal portion is contingent upon the consummation of the Mergers. In addition, Radius has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. As you are aware, although we and our affiliates have not provided investment banking, commercial banking or other similar financial services to Radius and/or its affiliates unrelated to the proposed Mergers during the past two years for which we and our affiliates received compensation, we and our affiliates in the future may provide such services to Radius and/or its affiliates, for which services we and our affiliates would expect to receive compensation. As you also are aware, we and our affiliates in the past have provided, and currently are providing, investment banking, commercial banking and other similar financial services to EQT AB (publ) (“EQT”), an affiliate of which is delivering to Parent an Equity Funding Letter and a Termination Equity Commitment Letter (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), and its affiliates and controlled portfolio companies, for which services we and such affiliates have received and expect to receive compensation, including, without limitation, during the two year period prior to the date hereof, having acted as financial advisor in connection with certain merger and acquisition transactions involving controlled portfolio companies of EQT, as bookrunner or arranger in connection with certain bond issuances, loans and credit facilities of controlled portfolio companies of EQT, as ratings advisor to a controlled portfolio company of EQT and as lender in connection with certain loans of EQT. As you also are aware, we and our affiliates in the past have provided, and currently are providing, investment banking, commercial banking and other similar financial services to Public Sector Pension Investment Board (“PSP”), which is delivering to Parent an Equity Funding Letter and a Termination Equity Commitment Letter, and its affiliates and controlled portfolio companies, for which services we and such affiliates have received and expect to receive compensation, including, without limitation, during the two year period prior to the date hereof, having acted as joint lead arranger and bookrunner in connection with certain bond offerings and as lender in connection with certain loans of PSP and its affiliates. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates may actively trade or hold the securities of Radius for our own account or for the account of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, we and our affiliates (including Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates) may maintain relationships with Radius and its affiliates.

Our advisory services and the opinion expressed herein are provided for the information of the Board of Directors of Radius (in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the proposed Merger, and our opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act on any matters relating to the proposed Mergers or otherwise.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, our experience as investment bankers, our work as described above and other factors we deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Radius Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

Very truly yours,

(“Parent”) and its affiliates) of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), of Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. (the “Company”) of the $15.00 in cash per Class A Share to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 1, 2023 (the “Agreement”), by and among Parent, Chord Merger Sub I, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub I”), Chord Merger Sub II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub I, APW OpCo LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and its affiliates are engaged in advisory, underwriting, lending, and financing, principal investing, sales and trading, research, investment management and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and its affiliates and employees, and funds or other entities they manage or in which they invest or have other economic interests or with which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of the Company, Parent, any of their respective affiliates and third parties, including Centerbridge Partners, L.P., a significant shareholder of the Company (“Centerbridge”), EQT AB (publ) (“EQT”) and Public Sector Pension Investment Board (“PSP”), each of which is delivering to Parent, through an affiliate, in the case of EQT, and directly, in the case of PSP, an Equity Funding Letter and a Termination Equity Commitment Letter (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), or any of their respective affiliates and portfolio companies, or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the “Transaction”). We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with, and have participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction.

We have provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to the Company and/or its affiliates from time to time for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as agent in connection with certain loans of AP WIP ArcCo Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, in December 2021; as bookrunner with respect to a private placement of the Company’s 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2026, in September 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”); and as placement agent with respect to a private placement of Class A Shares of the Company, in May 2021.

We have also provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to PSP and/or its affiliates and portfolio companies from time to time for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as bookrunner with respect to a secondary accelerated bookbuild offering of shares of Azelis, a portfolio company of PSP, in January 2023; as financial advisor to RAC Limited, a portfolio company of PSP, in connection with Silver Lake’s acquisition of a stake in RAC, in March 2022; as bookrunner with respect to the offering by Korian, a portfolio company of PSP, of its bonds, in September 2021; as bookrunner with respect to the initial public offering of shares of Azelis, in September 2021; as bookrunner with respect to a term loan to Cengage Learning, Inc., a portfolio company of PSP, in July 2021; as bookrunner with respect to a term loan to IG Investments Holdings, LLC, a portfolio company of PSP, in May 2021; as bookrunner with respect to a term loan to Azalea TopCo, Inc.

We may also in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to the Company, Centerbridge, EQT, PSP and their respective affiliates, and, as applicable, portfolio companies, for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking may receive compensation. Affiliates of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC also may have co-invested with Centerbridge, EQT and/or PSP and their affiliates from time to time and may have invested in limited partnership units of affiliates of Centerbridge, EQT and/or PSP from time to time and may do so in the future.

We further note that concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with respect to the Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and three other counterparties, each acting as principal for its own account. The Capped Call Transactions consisted of the purchase by the Company of capped call options with respect to, collectively, approximately 11,693,201 Class A Shares, the aggregate number of Class A Shares underlying the Convertible Notes (with 40% purchased from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC). The Capped Call Transactions may be adjusted, exercised, cancelled and/or terminated in accordance with their terms in connection with certain events, including the announcement or consummation of the Transaction, which could result in a payment from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to the Company. In particular, under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and the other counterparties, each acting separately as calculation agent under the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party, is entitled in certain circumstances to make adjustments to the cap price of the embedded call options sold by the Company to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and the other counterparties to reflect the economic effect of the announcement of the Transaction on the Capped Call Transactions. In its capacity as calculation agent, all actions or exercises of judgment by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC pursuant to the terms of the Capped Call Transactions to which it is a party must be performed in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the Agreement; annual reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company for the two years ended December 31, 2021; the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, including the prospectus contained therein dated October 5, 2020 relating, among other things, to the issuance of the Class A Shares; certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the Company; certain other communications from the Company to its stockholders; certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Company; and certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company prepared by its management, as approved for our use by the Company (the “Forecasts”). We have also held discussions with members of the senior management of the Company regarding their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of the Company; reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the Class A Shares; compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the technology, media and telecommunications industry; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as we deemed appropriate.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the $15.00 in cash per Class A Share to be paid to the holders (other than Parent and its affiliates) of Class A Shares pursuant to the Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

We further understand that (a) at the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), (i) each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Restricted Stock, Appraisal Shares or shares of Owned Company Common Stock (each as defined in the Agreement)) will be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive $15.00 (the “Consideration”), (ii) each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (other than any Appraisal Shares or shares of Owned Company Common Stock) will be canceled and no consideration will be paid with respect thereto, (iii) each share of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company designated as “Series A Founder Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Founder Preferred Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (other than any Appraisal Shares or any Rollover Equity (as defined in the Agreement)) will be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive $15.00 and (iv) each share of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company designated as “Series B Founder Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Founder Preferred Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock and Series A Founder Preferred Stock, the “Company Capital Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (other than any Appraisal Shares) will be canceled and no consideration will be paid with respect thereto and (b) at the effective time of the OpCo Merger (the “OpCo Merger Effective Time”), each common unit of OpCo (other than any Owned OpCo Common Units (as defined in the Agreement) or any Rollover Equity) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time will be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive $15.00. The terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are set forth in more detail in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 1, 2023, by and among the Company, OpCo, Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II (the “Agreement”). The summary of the Proposed Transaction set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement.

We have been requested by the Transaction Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Transaction Committee”) to render our opinion with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Class A Common Stock (other than the executive officers of the Company and the Excluded Stockholders, as hereinafter defined) of the Consideration to be received by such stockholders in the Proposed Transaction. We have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the fairness of the Proposed Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith

by, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or OpCo (including the Class B Common Stock, Series A Founder Preferred Stock, Series B Founder Preferred Stock and the common units of OpCo) or the allocation of the aggregate consideration among the various classes of shares of the Company Capital Stock and the common units of OpCo. Further, we have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the Company’s underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Proposed Transaction or the likelihood of consummation of the Proposed Transaction. In addition, we express no opinion on, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Proposed Transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by the stockholders of the Company in the Proposed Transaction. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Transaction as compared to any other transaction or business strategy in which the Company might engage. In addition, we express no opinion as to the prices at which the Company Capital Stock will trade at any time, including following the announcement or the consummation of the Proposed Transaction.

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed and analyzed: (1) the Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2023, and the specific terms of the Proposed Transaction; (2) publicly available information concerning the Company that we believe to be relevant to our analysis, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022; (3) financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Company furnished to us by the Company, including financial projections of the Company prepared by management of the Company; (4) a trading history of the Company’s common stock from October 5, 2020 to February 28, 2023 and a comparison of that trading history with those of other companies that we deemed relevant; and (5) a comparison of the historical financial results and present financial condition of the Company with those of other companies that we deemed relevant. In addition, we have had discussions with the management of the Company concerning its business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects and have undertaken such other studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by us without any independent verification of such information (and have not assumed responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information) and have further relied upon the assurances of the management of the Company that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the financial projections of the Company, upon the advice of the Company, we have assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company and that the Company will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. We assume no responsibility for and we express no view as to any such projections or estimates or the assumptions on which they are based. In arriving at our opinion, we have not conducted a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of the Company and have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company. In addition, you have not authorized us to solicit, and we have not solicited, any indications of interest from any third party with respect to the purchase of all or a part of the Company’s business. Our opinion necessarily is based upon market, economic and other conditions as they exist on, and can be evaluated as of, the date of this letter. We assume no responsibility for updating or revising our opinion based on events or circumstances that may occur after the date of this letter.

We have assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all agreements related thereto. We have also assumed, upon the advice of the Company, that all material governmental, regulatory and third party approvals, consents and releases for the Proposed Transaction will be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the Agreement and that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. We do not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the Proposed Transaction, nor does our opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which we understand that the Company has obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals.
