Section 2.2 Treatment of Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs.

(a) Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Date, (A) each then-outstanding option to purchase Company Shares (each, an “Option”) granted under any director or employee stock option or compensation plan or arrangement of the Company (collectively, the “Company Share Plans”) prior to calendar year 2021, whether or not vested, that vests and is paid out immediately prior to the Effective Date in accordance with its terms as in effect on the date of this Agreement (each, a “Cash-Out Option”) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, and the Company shall pay to each former holder of any such Cash-Out Option an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Consideration over the applicable exercise price per Company Share of such Cash-Out Option and (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such Cash-Out Option, payable (without any crediting of interest for the period from the Effective Date through the date of payment) as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the first payroll date) after the Effective Date and (B) each then-outstanding Option granted under any Company Share Plan, whether or not vested, that is not a Cash-Out Option, including, for the avoidance of doubt, each then-outstanding Option that was granted in calendar year 2021 (the “2021 Option”) (each, a “Rollover Option”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by BidCo and converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and

3

conditions as were applicable under such Rollover Option (other than terms that are rendered inoperative by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), the number of shares of BidCo common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“BidCo Common Stock”) (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares), equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Shares subject to such Rollover Option and (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of BidCo Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) exercise price per Company Share of such Rollover Option by (y) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (each, a “BidCo Option”). From and after the Effective Date, each such BidCo Option shall be eligible to continue to vest and become exercisable on each date that the applicable Rollover Option would have otherwise vested and become exercisable in accordance with its terms but only if such conditions to vesting are satisfied prior to each such vesting date; provided, that if the employment or service of the grantee of such BidCo Option is terminated prior to any vesting date either (i) by BidCo or one of its Affiliates without Cause or as a result of death or Disability (each as defined in the award agreement pursuant to which the applicable Rollover Option was granted, which definitions, for purposes of the 2021 Options, shall be the same as the definitions in the Option award agreements evidencing the grants made in calendar year 2020) or (ii) by the grantee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 9.5, if applicable), then, in each case, the BidCo Option shall fully vest and become exercisable (for the period of exercise set forth in the applicable award agreement) as of the date of such termination of employment or service.

From and after the Effective Date, each such BidCo RSU award shall be eligible to continue to vest on each date that the applicable Rollover Company RSU award would have

4

otherwise vested in accordance with its terms but only if such conditions to vesting are satisfied prior to each such vesting date; provided, that if the employment or service of the grantee of such BidCo RSU award is terminated prior to any vesting date either (i) by BidCo or one of its Affiliates without Cause or as a result of death or Disability (each as defined in the award agreement pursuant to which the applicable Rollover Company RSU award was granted, which definitions, for purposes of the 2021 Company RSU awards, shall be the same as the definitions in the Company RSU award agreements evidencing the grants made in calendar year 2020) or (ii) by the grantee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 9.5, if applicable), then, in each case, the BidCo RSU award shall fully vest as of the date of such termination of employment or service and be settled in accordance with its terms.

(c) Company PSUs. Immediately prior to the Effective Date, (A) each then-outstanding award for restricted stock units with respect to Company Shares that vests based on both performance and the passage of time (each, a “Company PSU”) granted under any Company Share Plan prior to calendar year 2021, whether or not vested, that vests and is paid out (except as required under Section 409A of the Code) immediately prior to the Effective Date in accordance with its terms as in effect on the date of this Agreement (each, a “Cash-Out Company PSU”) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, and the Company shall pay to each former holder of any such award of Cash-Out Company PSUs an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Consideration and (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such Cash-Out Company PSU award (with such number of Company Shares based on the greater of the target level achievement and the actual level of achievement of any performance goals as determined by the Board immediately prior to the Effective Date based on pro-rated performance goals to account for any shortened performance period), payable (without any crediting of interest for the period from the Effective Date through the date of payment) as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the first payroll date) after the Effective Date (or at such later date as required under Section 409A of the Code) and (B) each then-outstanding Company PSU granted under any Company Share Plan, whether or not vested, that is not a Cash-Out Company PSU, including, for the avoidance of doubt, each then-outstanding Company PSU that was granted in calendar year 2021 (the “2021 Company PSU”) (each, a “Rollover Company PSU”) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by BidCo and converted into, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Rollover Company PSU award (but excluding any performance conditions), an award for restricted stock units with respect to a number of shares of BidCo Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares) equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Shares subject to such Rollover Company PSU award (with such number of Company Shares based on the greater of the target level achievement and the actual level of achievement of any performance goals as determined by the Board immediately prior to the Effective Date based on pro-rated performance goals to account for any shortened performance period) and (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (each, a “BidCo PSU”). From and after the Effective Date, each such BidCo PSU award shall be eligible to continue to vest on each date that the applicable Rollover Company PSU award would have otherwise time-vested in accordance with its terms but only if such conditions to vesting are satisfied prior to each such vesting date (excluding any performance conditions); provided, that if the employment or service of the grantee of such BidCo PSU award is terminated prior to each such vesting date either (i) by BidCo or one of its Affiliates without Cause or as a result of death or Disability (each as defined in the award agreement pursuant to which the applicable Rollover Company PSU award was granted, which

5

definitions, for purposes of the 2021 Company PSU awards, shall be the same as the definitions in the Company PSU award agreements evidencing the grants made in calendar year 2020) or (ii) by the grantee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 9.5, if applicable), then, in each case, the BidCo PSU award shall fully vest as of the date of such termination of employment or service and be settled in accordance with its terms.

(d) Payments. The Company shall pay the holders of Cash-Out Options, Cash-Out Company RSUs and Cash-Out Company PSUs the cash payments described in this Section 2.2 through the Company’s payroll system (if applicable) as described in Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.2(c), respectively.

On or prior to the Effective Date, the Company, the Board and the compensation committee of the Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take all such lawful actions as may be reasonably necessary to provide for and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not provide any holder of an award or right under any Company Share Plan with the right to acquire any capital stock or other equity interest in the Company, BidCo or any of their respective Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, Rollover Options, Rollover Company RSUs and Rollover Company PSUs will be subject to time-vesting only on the same time-vesting schedule as such award was subject to prior to the Effective Date.

Section 2.3 Payment of Consideration.

(a) Receiving Agent. Prior to the Effective Date, BidCo shall enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company with a paying agent selected by BidCo with the Company’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, to act as agent for the Company Shareholders in connection with the Acquisition (the “Receiving Agent”) to receive payment of the Consideration to which the Company Shareholders shall become entitled. BidCo shall pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the retention and engagement of the Receiving Agent.

(b) Payment Procedures. The Consideration to which each Company Shareholder is entitled (less any required deductions as provided in Section 2.4) will be transferred to such Person by the Receiving Agent from the funds received by BidCo pursuant to the agreement entered into between BidCo and the Receiving Agent with respect to such role hereunder (on customary terms) and in accordance with the Scheme, with all funds to be dispatched as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than the fourteenth (14th) day following the Effective Date to the Person entitled to it electronically or at the address as appearing in the register of members of the Company at the Voting Record Time and made in U.S. dollars. As of the Voting Record Time, each holding of Company Shares credited to any stock account in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) will be disabled and all Company Shares will be removed from DTC in due course. None of the Company, BidCo, any nominee(s) of BidCo or any of their respective agents shall be responsible for any loss or delay in the transmission of payments sent by the Receiving Agent as described above, and such payments shall be sent at the risk of the Person entitled to it.

Prior to the Effective Date, BidCo and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Receiving Agent and DTC to ensure that the Company Shares held of record by DTC or its nominee will receive payment in immediately available funds in accordance with the Scheme and any other applicable Laws.

Section 2.4 Withholding Rights. Each of the Receiving Agent, the Company and BidCo shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Shares, Options, Company RSUs or Company PSUs such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Receiving Agent, the Company or BidCo, as the case may be, such deducted or withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by BidCo or the Company, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Shares, Options, Company RSUs or Company PSUs (as the case may be) in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Receiving Agent, the Company or BidCo, as the case may be. Prior to making any deduction or withholding with respect to non-compensatory payments, the withholding party will notify the Person in respect of such deduction or withholding, provide such Person a reasonable opportunity to deliver documentation to eliminate or reduce any such required deduction or withholding and otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with such Person to minimize or eliminate any such deduction or withholding.

Section 4.7 Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, BidCo has delivered to the Company true, complete and correct copies of the fully executed debt commitment letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement, between BidCo and the financial institutions and other entities party thereto (such financial institutions and the parties to any joinder agreements or amendments joining any financial institutions or other entities to the Commitment Letter and any financial institutions, lenders or investors with respect to the debt financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter, collectively, the “Financing Sources”) (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto, collectively, with the Debt Fee Letters described below, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Financing Sources party thereto have committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide the aggregate amounts set forth therein to BidCo (the debt financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter, the “Financing”). As of the date of this Agreement, BidCo has also delivered to the Company true, complete and correct copies of the fully executed fee letters, dated as of the date of this Agreement, between BidCo and the Financing Sources party thereto (the “Debt Fee Letters”) with the fee amounts, “market flex” provisions, “securities demand” provisions and other economic terms redacted in a customary manner, none of which redactions covers terms that would (i) reduce the amount of the Financing below the amount required to satisfy the Financing Uses (after taking into account any available cash of the Company and its subsidiaries), (ii) impose any new condition or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing or (iii) delay or prevent the Effective Date or make the funding of the Financing in the amount required to satisfy the Financing Uses (after taking into account any available cash of the Company and its subsidiaries) less likely to occur. As of the date of this Agreement, (A) the Commitment Letter has not been amended, supplemented or modified, (B) no such amendment, supplement or modification is contemplated by BidCo or, to the knowledge of BidCo, by the other parties thereto (other than to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other similar roles that had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement) and (C) the respective commitments contained in the Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, terminated, reduced or rescinded and, to the knowledge of BidCo, no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated. As of the date of this Agreement, except for customary engagement letters and fee credit letters with respect

34

to the Financing (none of which would (I) reduce the amount of the Financing below the amount required to satisfy the Financing Uses (after taking into account any available cash of the Company and its subsidiaries), (II) impose any new condition or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing or (III) delay or prevent the Effective Date or make the funding of the Financing in the amount required to satisfy the Financing Uses (after taking into account any available cash of the Company and its subsidiaries) less likely to occur), there are no side letters or Contracts to which BidCo is a party related to the Financing required to satisfy the Financing Uses other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter delivered to the Company on or prior to the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, BidCo has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Commitment Letter and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Debt Fee Letters that are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter, and BidCo will, directly or indirectly, continue to pay or cause to be paid in full any such amounts required to be paid pursuant to the terms thereof as and when they become due and payable prior to the Effective Date. As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of BidCo and, to the knowledge of BidCo each of the other parties thereto, subject, in each case, to the effect of the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, (i) BidCo is not in default or breach under the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter and (ii) to the knowledge of BidCo, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would (1) constitute a default or breach on the part of BidCo under the Commitment Letter, (2) constitute a failure to satisfy a condition on the part of BidCo under the Commitment Letter, or (3) assuming the representations and warranties set forth in Article III made by the Company are true and correct in all material respects, otherwise result in any portion of the Financing required to satisfy the Financing Uses being unavailable on the Effective Date. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to BidCo’s obligations to consummate the Acquisition, BidCo has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter will not be satisfied on or prior to the Effective Date or that the full amount of the Financing required to satisfy the Financing Uses will not be made available to BidCo on the Effective Date. Assuming the Incremental Term Facility and the Bridge Facility are funded in accordance with the Commitment Letter, BidCo will have on the Effective Date funds sufficient to (x) pay the Cash Consideration, (y) prepay or repay any outstanding indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries required by this Agreement to be prepaid or repaid and (z) satisfy all of the other payment obligations required to be paid on the Effective Date by BidCo hereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (clauses (x), (y) and (z), the “Financing Uses”).

Section 4.8 Vote/Approval Required. No vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of share capital of BidCo or any of its Affiliates is necessary to approve this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Acquisition.

Section 4.9 Solvency. Assuming that (a) the conditions to the obligation of BidCo to consummate the Acquisition set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived and (b) the representations and warranties of the Company in Article III are accurate and complete (without giving effect to any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifiers

35

contained in any such representations and warranties), then immediately following the Effective Date and after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing, the payment of the aggregate consideration to which the Company Shareholders are entitled under Article II, funding of any obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries which become due or payable by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with, or as a result of, the Acquisition and payment of all related fees and expenses, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured and (iv) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Effective Date.

Section 4.10 Absence of Certain Agreements. Except as authorized by the Company or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, as of the date hereof, neither BidCo nor any of its subsidiaries has entered into any contract, arrangement or understanding, whether written or oral, or authorized, committed or agreed to enter into any such contract, arrangement or understanding pursuant to which: (i) any Company Shareholder would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Cash Consideration or pursuant to which any Company Shareholders agrees to vote to approve the Scheme or agrees to vote against any Superior Proposal (except for certain irrevocable undertakings obtained from directors holding Company Shares) or (ii) any current executive officer of the Company has agreed to remain as an executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries following the Effective Date at compensation levels in excess of levels currently in effect (other than pursuant to any employment contracts with the Company and its subsidiaries in effect as of the date hereof).

Section 4.11 No Other Information. Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article III or in the case of fraud, BidCo acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, at Law or in equity, is made or shall be deemed to have been made by or on behalf of the Company to BidCo, and the Company hereby disclaims any such representation or warranty, whether by or on behalf of the Company, and notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to BidCo or its Representatives or Affiliates, of any documentation or other information by the Company or any of its respective Representatives or affiliates with respect to any one (1) or more of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not operate to limit or invalidate any representation or warranty contained in any other Transaction Document.

efforts to cause its and their other respective Representatives to, immediately cease, (x) any solicitations, discussions, communications or negotiations with any Person (other than the Parties) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, in each case that exist as of the date hereof and (y) all access of any Person (other than the Parties and their respective Representatives) to any electronic data room maintained by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company also agrees that it will promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) deliver a written notice to each such Person to the effect that the Company is ending all such solicitations, discussions, communications and negotiations with such Person, effective immediately, which written notice shall also request each Person (other than the Parties) that has prior to the date hereof executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company to promptly return or destroy all non-public information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of it or any of its subsidiaries prior to the date hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that did not result from a breach of Section 6.1(a), the Company, subject to compliance with this Section 6.1, may provide non-public information and data concerning the Company and its subsidiaries in response to a request therefor by such Person and may engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with such Person if (i) the Company shall have received from such Person a confidentiality agreement on customary terms not materially more favorable to such Person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and which confidentiality agreement does not restrict in any manner the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter) provide to BidCo any material non-public information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries that the Company provided or made available to any Person given such access which was not previously made available to BidCo, and (ii) prior to taking any such action (and as a condition thereto), (A) the Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that failure to take such action would violate the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (B) the Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) deliver to BidCo a written notice (a “Company Notice”) of the receipt after the date hereof of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, including any modification, amendment or supplement thereto, which notice shall include a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, or such inquiry, proposal or offer in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, made in writing and any written documents or materials relating thereto (including any documents or materials relating to the financing thereof), a written summary of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, or such inquiry, proposal or offer in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, not made in writing, and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or such inquiry, proposal or offer in respect of an Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions or obligations set forth in this Section 6.1 by any subsidiary of the Company or any Representative of the Company or any of its subsidiaries acting on behalf of the Company shall be a breach of this Section 6.1 by the Company and any breach of this Section 6.1 by the Company or any of the foregoing shall be deemed a Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company.

43

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Board from taking and disclosing to its Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to Company Shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the Company Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the Company Shareholders) or from making any legally required disclosure to Company Shareholders with regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal (provided, that the Company expressly publicly reaffirms the Recommendation in such disclosure).

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer from any Person (other than BidCo or its Affiliates) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business that constitutes fifteen percent (15%) or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company, or any merger, division, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company (or any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company whose business constitutes fifteen percent (15%) or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

Section 6.2 No Change of Recommendation; Exception to No Change of Recommendation.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.2(b), the Board shall not take any of the any of the below actions:

(i) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal, including any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board to the Company Shareholders in accordance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any similar communication to the Company Shareholders in connection with the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer, shall not be deemed to constitute a Change of Recommendation; provided, that the Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Recommendation in such communication);

(ii) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and the Circular or otherwise modify, change, qualify, withdraw or withhold the Recommendation;

(iii) make any statement to any Person beneficially owning five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding Company Shares or any public statement in connection with the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, in each case that is inconsistent with the Recommendation;

44

(iv) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal;

(v) approve, recommend, declare advisable or fail to recommend against, or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow the Company to execute or enter into any Contract with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or that would require, or would reasonably be expected to cause, the Company to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Acquisition;

(vi) fail to issue a press release that reaffirms the Recommendation as promptly as practicable after receipt of a written request to do so from BidCo following public disclosure of an Acquisition Proposal (but in any event within four (4) Business Days after such request to do so by BidCo or, if either of the Company Shareholders Meetings is scheduled to occur prior to such fourth (4th) Business Day, within twenty-four (24) hours after such written request (and in any event prior to such meeting));

(vii) approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal or other proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable or publicly propose to enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement;

(ix) agree, authorize or commit, or publicly propose or announce an intention, to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(a), prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote, in the event of, and with respect to, an Intervening Event or a Superior Proposal not arising out of a breach of Section 6.1, the Board may (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify) the Recommendation, (ii) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or the Circular or (iii) approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable (or propose publicly to approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable) any Superior Proposal made after the date hereof (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Change of Recommendation”) and may also terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to make such Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) in response to such Superior Proposal would violate the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company shall not effect a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) unless: (x) the Company shall have notified BidCo in writing, at least five (5) Business Days in advance (it being understood that any material change in respect of any such Intervening Event or Superior Proposal shall require a new notice but with an additional three (3) Business Days (instead

45

of five (5) Business Days) notice period) (the “Notice Period”), that it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g), which notice shall, (I) with respect to a Superior Proposal, specify the identity of the party who made such Superior Proposal and all of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and shall include all written documents and materials relating thereto (including any documents or materials relating to the financing thereof) and the most current version of the agreement relating thereto (if such agreement has been provided to the Company) or (II) with respect to an Intervening Event, state that an Intervening Event has occurred and provide all the details of such Intervening Event and the basis upon which the Board believes such an effect constitutes an Intervening Event giving rise to a Change of Recommendation rights hereunder, all with reasonable specificity; (y) after providing such notice and prior to making such Change of Recommendation or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g), the Company shall negotiate in good faith with BidCo during the Notice Period (to the extent that BidCo desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would permit the Board not to effect a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g); and (z) the Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement offered in writing by BidCo in a manner that would obviate the need for such Change of Recommendation and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that failure to effect such Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g), as applicable, would still violate the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law and, with respect to a Superior Proposal, determined in good faith that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes offered in writing by BidCo were to be given effect; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not effect a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) prior to the expiration of the Notice Period.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions or obligations set forth in this Section 6.2 by the Board, any subsidiary of the Company or any Representative of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 6.2 by the Company and any breach of this Section 6.2 by the Company or any of the foregoing shall be deemed a Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company.

Section 6.3 Proxy Statement and Circular; Scheme Documentation, Information and Undertakings.

(a) BidCo shall provide promptly to the Company all such information about itself, the BidCo Group and the BidCo directors and their concert parties required by (i) the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement and (ii) CA 2006 or as otherwise may reasonably be requested by the Company for the purpose of inclusion in the Circular or any other Scheme Documentation (“BidCo Information”) and to provide such other cooperation and assistance as may reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of each of the Proxy Statement and the Scheme Documentation; provided, that the Company submits, or causes the submission of, drafts and revised drafts of each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular to BidCo for review and considers comments reasonably proposed by BidCo in relation thereto. BidCo will cause BidCo’s directors to accept responsibility for all of the information in each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular relating to BidCo or any of its Affiliates and their respective personnel (including the BidCo Information), any statement of opinion, belief or expectation of the directors of BidCo in relation to the Acquisition and the financing of the Acquisition (collectively, the “BidCo Responsibility Information”).

46

(b) None of the information supplied or to be supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular will, at the date the Proxy Statement or the Circular, as applicable, is first mailed to the Company Shareholders, or at the time of the General Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made. Each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular will comply as to form with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and CA 2006, other than any failure to comply that is de-minimis in nature. No representation is made by the Company with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on BidCo Information supplied by or on behalf of any member of the BidCo Group for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. The Company will cause the directors on the Board (other than any director whom the Company considers to have a conflict of interest in relation to the Acquisition) to accept responsibility for all information in the Proxy Statement and the Circular (other than the BidCo Responsibility Information).

(c) The Company shall, with the assistance of BidCo, prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of this Agreement or such later date as the Parties agree in writing), each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular (including a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13e-3, if applicable). BidCo and the Company will cooperate with each other in the preparation of each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular. Subject to Section 6.2(b), the Company will cause each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular to include the unanimous recommendation of all of the directors on the Board (other than any director whom the Company considers to have a conflict of interest in relation to the Acquisition) to the Company Shareholders to vote in favor of the resolutions at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting (the “Recommendation”). The Scheme will not cover the Excluded Shares. The conditions to the Scheme set out in the Proxy Statement or the Circular shall be the same as the conditions set out in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3.

(d) Subject to applicable Law, and anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the filing of each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular or the filing of any other required filings (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto), or any dissemination thereof to the Company Shareholders, or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide BidCo and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and to comment on such document or response, and the Company shall consider in good faith and take into account in such filing, document or response any comments reasonably proposed by BidCo and its Representatives. The Company shall promptly notify BidCo upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or the Circular and shall provide BidCo with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Proxy Statement or the Circular. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all SEC comments with respect to each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. The Company shall cause each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular to be mailed to Company Shareholders

47

as of the record date established for the Company Shareholders Meetings promptly after (x) the date the SEC staff advises that it has no further comments thereon or that the Company may commence mailing the Proxy Statement and (y) the Court has given the Company leave to convene the Court Meeting.

(e) If at any time prior to the Company Shareholders Meetings there shall occur any event that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either or both of the Proxy Statement and the Circular, or if any supplemental circular, proxy statement (or related materials) or document is required to be published by the Company in connection with the Acquisition or, subject to the prior written consent of BidCo, any variation or amendment to the Acquisition, the Company shall promptly after becoming aware thereof inform BidCo in writing of such fact or event and prepare (with the assistance of BidCo) and, subject to the permission of the Court, mail to the Company Shareholders such an amendment or supplement, in each case, to the extent required by applicable Law. Each of the Company and BidCo agrees to promptly (i) correct any information provided by it specifically for use in either or both of the Proxy Statement and the Circular if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and (ii) supplement the information provided by it specifically for use in either or both of the Proxy Statement and the Circular to include any information that shall become necessary in order to make the statements in the either or both of the Proxy Statement and the Circular, as applicable, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company further agrees to cause either or both of the Proxy Statement and the Circular, as applicable, as so corrected or supplemented promptly to be filed with the SEC and, subject to the permission of the Court, to be disseminated to its Company Shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

(f) The Company shall, subject to applicable Law:

(i) prior to the General Meeting and the Court Meeting, keep BidCo reasonably informed of the number of proxy votes received in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting and the Court Meeting and to provide BidCo with details of any material changes to the Company’s shareholder and other statutory registers which occur prior to the Effective Date as promptly as reasonably practicable;

(ii) cooperate with and provide such details to BidCo and its advisers in relation to the Company Share Plans and awards thereunder as BidCo or its advisers may reasonably request and to communicate with participants of the Company Share Plans as reasonably necessary or desirable to implement the Acquisition in the manner contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) coordinate with BidCo for the purpose of obtaining any Tax clearances that BidCo may reasonably require to be obtained in connection with the Scheme and the Acquisition, to provide drafts of any such application for clearance and take into account BidCo’s reasonable comments and not to dispatch any application for such clearance without the prior written consent of BidCo;

48

(iv) provide, and cause each of its subsidiaries to provide, promptly to BidCo and its advisers such information, documentation and access to the management, employees, facilities and assets of such subsidiary and its advisers and independent auditors as is reasonably requested by BidCo for the purposes of implementing the Acquisition and preparing or making any filing, notification or submission with a Governmental Entity in connection with the Acquisition; and

(v) take any action not otherwise contemplated under this Agreement that is reasonably requested by BidCo to implement the Acquisition.

Section 6.4 Company Shareholders Meetings. The Company, acting through the Board (or a duly empowered committee thereof), shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following (x) confirmation by the SEC that the SEC has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and (y) the Court giving the Company leave to convene the Court Meeting, take all action required under CA 2006 and the Articles of Association and the applicable requirements of Nasdaq and the Court necessary to promptly and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as practicable the General Meeting and the Court Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Shareholders Meetings”), with the meeting date of the Company Shareholders Meetings and the Voting Record Time to be selected after reasonable consultation with BidCo (it being expected that the General Meeting will be held as soon as the preceding Court Meeting shall have been concluded and, if the Court Meeting is adjourned, the General Meeting shall be correspondingly adjourned); provided, that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn such meeting (i) to the extent required by Law or the Court or otherwise necessary for bona fide security reasons or a physical event outside of the Company’s control which renders the holding of either or both of the Company Shareholders Meetings impossible or impracticable (provided that the Company shall, to the extent legally permitted and where practicable in the circumstances, utilize all rights and permissions under legislation and discretion of the Court in response to COVID-19 to hold virtual or otherwise non-physical meetings), (ii) with the written consent of BidCo, (iii) to allow additional time to solicit additional proxies in order to obtain the Company Requisite Vote, (iv) in the absence of a quorum or (v) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which (A) is ordered by the Court or (B) the Board has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company Shareholders prior to the Company Shareholders Meetings. Subject to Section 6.2(b), the Company, acting through the Board (or a duly empowered committee thereof), shall (a) make the Recommendation and include in each of the Proxy Statement and the Circular the Recommendation, (b) issue a press release that reaffirms the Recommendation as promptly as practicable after receipt of a written request to do so from BidCo following public disclosure of an Acquisition Proposal (but in any event within four (4) Business Days after such written request to do so by BidCo or, if either of the Company Shareholders Meetings is scheduled to occur prior to such fourth (4th) Business Day, within twenty-four (24) hours after such written request or such disclosure (and in any event prior to such meeting)), and (c) use its reasonable efforts to solicit from the Company Shareholders proxies to obtain the Company Requisite Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall submit this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to the Company Shareholders at the Company Shareholders Meetings and shall not submit any alternate Acquisition Proposal for adoption by the Company Shareholders unless this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with its terms.

49

Section 6.5 Further Action; Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party will use its best efforts to (and, in the case of BidCo, use its best efforts to cause each of its subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, the “BidCo Group”) to) take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations to consummate the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party hereto agrees to make (or cause to be made) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act and the foreign antitrust and investment filings listed in Section 6.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof with respect to any filing made pursuant to the HSR filing and as promptly as practicable for the other filings listed in Section 6.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any Antitrust Law and to take any and all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and to obtain approval required under any other Antitrust Law as soon as practicable.

(b) BidCo, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 6.5(a) to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations or expiration of waiting periods for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) subject to applicable Law, furnish to the other party as promptly as reasonably practicable all information required for any application or other filing to be made by the other party pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) promptly notify the other Party of any substantive communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other U.S. or foreign Governmental Entity and of any substantive communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby and, subject to applicable Law, furnish the other party promptly with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications between them and the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Item 4(c) and Item 4(d) documents and subject to adequate measures for protection of commercially and/or competitively sensitive information); (iv) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries received from, and supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information or documentation that may be requested by the DOJ, FTC or by any other Governmental Entity in respect of such registrations, declarations and filings or such transactions; and (v) permit the other Party to review any substantive communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance, and consider in good faith the other Party’s reasonable comments in connection with, any communication, meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person; provided, that BidCo shall be solely responsible for the final content of any substantive communications with any applicable Governmental Entity. For purposes of this Agreement,

50

“Antitrust Law” means the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 and all other federal, state and foreign, if any, statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative and judicial doctrines and other Laws that are designed or intended to (i) prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition or (ii) review and approve investments made by entities based in other countries.

(c) No Party shall independently participate in any substantive meeting or communication with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry relating to Section 6.5(a) or Section 6.5(b) without giving the other Parties sufficient prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate in such substantive meeting or communication. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and in furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, BidCo shall, and shall cause each member of the BidCo Group to, take any and all steps necessary to (x) resolve, avoid, or eliminate impediments or objections, if any, that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law or (y) avoid the entry of, effect the dissolution of, and have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any decree, order or judgment that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the contemplated transactions, so as to enable the Parties to close the contemplated transactions expeditiously (and, for the avoidance of doubt, so as to avoid an in-depth or second-phase review by the relevant Governmental Entity) (but in no event later than the End Date), including, but without limiting the foregoing, (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, divesture, disposition, or license of any assets, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of BidCo, BidCo’s subsidiaries, BidCo’s Affiliates, or the Company or its subsidiaries or any interest therein and (ii) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that would limit BidCo’s, BidCo’s subsidiaries, BidCo’s Affiliates, or the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to retain any assets, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of BidCo, BidCo’s subsidiaries, BidCo’s Affiliates, or the Company or its subsidiaries or any interest or interests therein, provided that any such action is conditioned upon (and shall not be completed prior to) the consummation of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the obligations under Section 6.5(c), in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Acquisition or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, each of BidCo and the Company shall, and BidCo shall cause each member of the BidCo Group to, cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Neither BidCo nor any member of the BidCo Group shall acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets or equity interests, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the

51

consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity seeking or entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) BidCo shall direct, in consultation with the Company and after considering in good faith the Company’s views, strategy and timing, proceedings and other activities with respect to seeking any actions, non-actions, terminations or expirations of waiting periods, consents, approvals or waivers of any Governmental Entity as contemplated hereby (provided that no Party may enter into a so-called timing agreement with any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other Party), (ii) the Company shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as reasonably requested by BidCo in connection with obtaining any such actions, non-actions, terminations or expirations of waiting periods, consents, approvals or waivers and (iii) BidCo shall have the sole and exclusive right, in consultation with the Company and after considering in good faith the Company’s views, to propose, negotiate, offer or commit to make or effect any divestitures, dispositions or licenses of any assets, properties, products, rights, services or businesses, or to agree to any other remedy, requirement, obligation, condition or restriction related to the conduct of BidCo’s and its HSR Affiliates’ (as such term is defined by the HSR Act) or the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses in order to resolve any Governmental Entity’s objections to or concerns about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercially and/or competitively sensitive information and materials of a Party will be provided to the other Party on an outside counsel-only basis (or by otherwise taking appropriate steps to safeguard the information and comply with applicable Law) while, if requested in writing by the other Party and to the extent feasible, making a version in which the commercial and/or competitively sensitive information has been redacted available to the other Party.

Section 6.6 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to BidCo, and BidCo shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Acquisition or the transactions contemplated herein, to the extent such consent is not already contemplated by this Agreement, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such Party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company or BidCo; (b) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such Party’s knowledge, threatened in writing against such Party or any of its subsidiaries which relate to the Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated hereby; or (c) any change, condition or event (i) has had, or would reasonably to have, a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that results, or could reasonably be expected to result, in any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement (including any condition set forth in Article VII) to be complied with or satisfied hereunder; provided, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall not (A) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (B) limit the remedies available to the Party receiving such notice.

52

Section 6.7 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof to the Effective Date or the earlier valid termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior written notice from BidCo (and subject to any reasonable limitations to protect the health and safety of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ employees and other individuals having business dealings with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in response to COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 virus or any mutation or variation thereof; provided, that in any such instance the Company shall reasonably cooperate with BidCo to provide such information, in whole or in part, to the extent and in a manner compliant with such limitations), the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees to, afford BidCo and its Representatives reasonable access, consistent with applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, at normal business hours to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, employees, Representatives, properties, offices and other facilities and to all Contracts, commitments, books, records, Tax Returns and any Tax documents or information that the Company or any of its subsidiaries receives or has received pursuant to a Tax sharing agreement, and shall furnish BidCo reasonably promptly with all financial, operating and other data and information concerning its business and properties as BidCo or its Representatives, may from time to time reasonably request (provided, that BidCo and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such investigation or consultation shall not include any environmental sampling or invasive environmental testing. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information if the Company determines, in its reasonable best judgment, based on the advice of outside counsel, such access or disclosure would violate an obligation of confidentiality pursuant to any binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party (so long as the Company shall have used reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such access or disclosure), would result in the loss or waiver of any attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (provided, that the Company will enter into a joint defense agreement with BidCo if requested with respect to any such information) or contravene any applicable Law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) shall be directed to the executive officer or other Person designated by the Company.

(c) BidCo will comply with the terms and conditions of (i) the letter agreement, dated as of January 4, 2021, between the Company and BidCo (which agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of the Effective Date and the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date hereof, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and (ii) the Clean Team Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2021, by and between the Company and BidCo (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Clean Team Agreement” and, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the “Confidentiality Agreements”), and will hold and treat, and will cause their respective officers, employees, auditors and other

53

Representatives to hold and treat, in confidence all documents and information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries furnished to BidCo in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreements, which Confidentiality Agreements shall remain in full force and effect each in accordance with its terms. The Company agrees that it will treat any documents and information concerning the BidCo Related Parties furnished or otherwise made available to the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as if it was “Confidential Information” under the Confidentiality Agreement and as if the use and disclosure restrictions thereunder applied to the Company.

From the Effective Date through the date that is twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, BidCo or one of its Affiliates shall maintain for the benefit of each Continuing Employee a severance or termination arrangement or policy no less favorable than the severance or termination arrangement or policy provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation any severance policy set forth in Section 1.17 of the Cardtronics Employee Manual for U.S. employees. This Section 6.10(a) shall not apply to Continuing Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement.

(b) BidCo and its Affiliates shall maintain all Company Plans that are health and welfare plans in effect as of the Effective Date, through calendar year 2021 and thereafter, BidCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause any preexisting conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health or welfare plans of BidCo or its Affiliates to be waived with respect to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents and (ii) give each Continuing Employee credit for the plan year in which the Continuing Employee commence participation in a corresponding employee benefit plan of BidCo or an Affiliate towards applicable deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses incurred prior to the date of commencement in such new plan of BidCo or an Affiliate for which payment has been made.

Section 6.11 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Date, BidCo shall cause the Company to assume all obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for each individual who on the Effective Date is, or at any time prior to the Effective Date was, a director or officer of the Company, or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was a director or officer of its subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”), for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Date as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Association as in effect on the date of this Agreement. For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Date, the Company shall maintain, and BidCo shall cause the Company to maintain, provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Association with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and indemnification and advancement of expenses of officers and directors of the Company that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Association as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and shall not prior to the expiration of such period amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal (each, a “Proceeding”) made within such six (6)-year period shall continue until the disposition or resolution of such Proceeding in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Association. Anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11 notwithstanding, any Person to whom an advancement of expenses is provided in connection with

56

a Proceeding shall be required to provide, as a condition to such advancement, an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification in connection with such Proceeding. In the event of any such Proceeding (x) neither BidCo nor Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent and (y) the Company shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter. In the event any Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party under this Section 6.11, (i) the Company or BidCo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense thereof after the Effective Date, (ii) each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Company shall elect to control the defense of any such Proceeding, (iii) the Company shall advance all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Party promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Company shall elect to control the defense of any such Proceeding and (iv) no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification or an advancement of expenses under Section 6.11, upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall promptly notify the Company thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Company of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Company.

(c) BidCo shall maintain, or shall cause the Company to maintain, at no expense to the beneficiaries, in effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Date the current policies of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company as disclosed in Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to matters existing or occurring on or prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that after the Effective Date, BidCo shall not be required to pay in the aggregate for such coverage more than 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. At BidCo’s option, BidCo may direct the Company to purchase a six (6)-year prepaid “tail policy” to incept on the Effective Date at a cost no greater than the aggregate amount that the Company would be permitted to spend during the six (6)-year period provided for in this Section 6.11(c) on terms and conditions providing 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 claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Date, including the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event BidCo elects to purchase such a “tail policy” in accordance with this Section 6.11(c) prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall (and BidCo shall cause the Company to) maintain such “tail policy” in full force and effect. BidCo agrees to cause the Company to honor and perform all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries with any Indemnified Party on the terms and conditions set forth therein and solely to the extent disclosed in Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

57

(d) If BidCo or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or Company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of BidCo or the Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive the Acquisition and, following the Effective Date, are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and Representatives.

Section 6.12 Treatment of Company Indebtedness.

(a) Prepayment of Indebtedness under Company Credit Facilities.

(i) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts, and shall cause its applicable subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts, to deliver to BidCo on or prior to the Effective Date (with drafts delivered at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date) copies of payoff letters (subject to the delivery of funds as arranged by BidCo) with respect to the Company Credit Facilities in customary form, which payoff letters shall (A) indicate the total amount required to be paid to fully satisfy all principal, interest, prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs and any other monetary obligations then due and payable under the Company Credit Facilities as of the anticipated Effective Date (and, if applicable, the daily accrual thereafter) (the “Payoff Amount”), (B) state that upon receipt of the Payoff Amount under such payoff letters, the Company Credit Facilities and all related loan documents shall be terminated and (C) provide that all Liens and guarantees in connection with the Company Credit Facilities relating to the assets and properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries securing the obligations under the Company Credit Facilities shall be released and terminated upon payment of the Payoff Amount on the Effective Date.

(ii) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts, and shall cause its applicable subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts, to unwind or novate or assist BidCo in connection with the unwinding or novation of any outstanding interest rate or other swaps or hedges on the Effective Date that are designated by BidCo in writing to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date (notice of which may be delivered by the Company to the applicable interest rate, swap or hedge counterparty at BidCo’s request in advance of the Effective Date so long as the underlying swap or hedge documentation permits any such notice to be contingent upon the consummation of the Acquisition).

(b) Senior Notes.

(i) BidCo will be permitted to commence and conduct one or more offers to purchase, including any “Change of Control Offer” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) and/or any tender or exchange offer and/or to conduct a consent solicitation, if any (each, a “Debt Offer” and, collectively, the “Debt Offers”), with respect to any or all

58

of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes on terms that are acceptable to BidCo; provided, that any such Debt Offer is consummated using funds provided by BidCo and at BidCo’s expense. BidCo shall provide the Company with the necessary offer to purchase or other related documents in connection with the Debt Offer (collectively, the “Debt Offer Documents”) a reasonable period of time in advance of commencing the applicable Debt Offer to allow the Company and its counsel to review and comment on the related Debt Offer Documents. The Debt Offers shall be conducted in compliance with the Indenture and applicable Law, including SEC rules and regulations. The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to, in each case, use their reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by BidCo in connection with any Debt Offer; provided, that the Company shall not be required to cooperate with respect to any Debt Offer that is not in compliance with the Indenture and applicable Laws.

(ii) Subject to the receipt of any requisite consents in connection with a consent solicitation, the Company and its subsidiaries shall execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture in accordance with the Indenture, amending the terms and provisions of the Indenture as described in the Debt Offer Documents as reasonably requested by BidCo, which supplemental indenture shall become operative no earlier than the Effective Date or the acceptance for purchase of the Senior Notes by BidCo, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the trustee under the Indenture to enter into such supplemental indenture. The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to, in each case, use their reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by BidCo in connection with the execution of supplemental indentures, including, if requested by BidCo, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its legal counsel to provide all customary legal opinions and its officers to provide officers’ certificates required by the Indenture or otherwise required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this clause (ii) or clause (iii) below to the extent such legal opinions or certificates are required to be delivered prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or its legal counsel be required to give an opinion with respect to a Debt Offer that in the reasonable opinion of the Company does not comply with applicable Laws or the Indenture.

(iii) If requested by BidCo, in lieu of or in addition to BidCo commencing a Debt Offer for the Senior Notes, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, to (A) issue one or more notices of optional redemption for all or a portion of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (which may be delivered at BidCo’s request in advance of the Effective Date so long as they are contingent upon the occurrence of the Effective Date (it being understood and agreed that they may also be contingent upon the occurrence of other events in addition to the occurrence of the Effective Date)), pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Indenture and (B) take any other actions reasonably requested by BidCo to facilitate the satisfaction and discharge of the Senior Notes pursuant to the satisfaction and discharge provisions of the Indenture and the other provisions of the Indenture applicable thereto. If a conditional notice of redemption is given, BidCo shall ensure that on the Effective Date, so long as the applicable conditions of such redemption are satisfied, the Company has all funds necessary in connection with such redemption.

59

(c) The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to, in each case, use their reasonable best efforts to provide all customary cooperation reasonably requested by BidCo in connection with this Section 6.12.

BidCo shall comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter in a timely and diligent manner.

(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by BidCo to satisfy its obligations under Section 6.13(a), any portion of the Financing in an amount required to satisfy the Financing Uses (after taking into account the portion of the Financing that remains available) becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “market flex” provisions set forth in the Debt Fee Letters) contemplated by the Commitment Letter or any of the Definitive Financing Agreements shall be withdrawn, repudiated, terminated or rescinded, regardless of the reason therefor, unless BidCo has available to it unrestricted and readily available cash and/or cash equivalents to replace such unavailable Financing, BidCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor and BidCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange to obtain from the same and/or Alternative Financing sources,

60

alternative financing on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to BidCo than the terms and conditions (including any “market flex” provisions set forth in the Debt Fee Letters) contained in the Commitment Letter in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is and remains available to satisfy the Financing Uses and any such unrestricted and readily available cash and/or cash equivalents (“Alternative Financing”) and to obtain and provide the Company with a copy of any new executed commitment letter that provides for such Alternative Financing (the “Alternative Financing Commitment Letter”). For purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by BidCo that speaks to the date of this Agreement) references to (i) the “Financing” shall include the Financing and any such Alternative Financing, (ii) the “Commitment Letter” shall include the Commitment Letter to the extent not superseded by the Alternative Financing Commitment Letter and any such Alternative Financing Commitment Letter, (iii) the “Definitive Financing Agreements” shall include the definitive documentation relating to the debt financing completed by the Commitment Letter and any such Alternative Financing and (iv) the “Financing Sources” shall include the financial institutions and other entities party to any Alternative Financing Commitment Letter.

(c) BidCo shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, permit or consent to or agree to any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, termination or other modification or waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company, if such amendment, restatement, supplement, termination, modification or waiver would (i) impose new, modified or additional conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing, (ii) be reasonably expected to prevent or delay the availability of all or a portion of the Financing necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below the amount necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses (after taking into account any available Financing) or (iv) otherwise adversely affect the ability of BidCo to enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter; provided, that BidCo may amend the Commitment Letter to add initial lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other similar roles that had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement to the extent doing so would not impose new, modified or additional conditions or expand any existing conditions to the amount, receipt or availability of the Financing or result in any amendments to the Commitment Letter that would not otherwise be permitted without the Company’s consent; provided, further, that (i) any amendment, amendment and restatement or supplement to the Commitment Letter to implement a Pro Rata Facility (as defined in the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement) and replace a portion of the Incremental Term Facility as contemplated by the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement and (ii) the Proposed Amendment (as defined in the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement) and related replacement of the commitment for the Replacement Revolving Facility under the Commitment Letter, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall be (x) permitted to the extent such amendment, amendment and restatement or supplement would not impose new, modified or additional conditions or expand any existing conditions to the amount, receipt or availability of the Financing or result in any amendments to the Commitment Letter that would not otherwise be permitted without the Company’s consent or (y) otherwise, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, further, however, that in the event that the Committed Pro Rata Facility (as defined in the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof) is provided pursuant to documentation other than an amendment or amendment and restatement of the Commitment Letter (such documentation, the “Other Pro Rata Commitment

61

Documentation”), such Other Pro Rata Commitment Documentation shall not be permitted to be entered into without the prior written consent of the Company unless such Other Pro Rata Commitment Documentation (i) does not impose new, modified or additional conditions or expand any existing conditions to the amount, receipt or availability of the financing contemplated thereby as compared to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof, (ii) would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the availability of all or a portion of the Financing (inclusive of the Committed Pro Rata Facility) necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) does not reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (after giving effect to such Committed Pro Rata Facility) below the amount necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses (after taking into account any available Financing) and (iv) does not otherwise adversely affect the ability of BidCo to enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter.

(d) As promptly as practicable following execution thereof (but in any event within two (2) Business Days), BidCo shall furnish to the Company a correct and executed copy of any such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, modification, waiver or consent of or relating to the Commitment Letter and the Debt Fee Letters and any other fee letters entered into in connection with the Financing (which may be redacted in a manner consistent with the redactions permitted by Section 4.7). For purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by BidCo that speaks as of the date of this Agreement), references to (1) the “Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter as permitted by this Section 6.13 to be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived and (2) the “Commitment Letter” shall include such document as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived to the extent such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, other modification or waiver was expressly permitted under this Section 6.13, in each case from and after the date such expressly permitted amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.13 will require, and in no event will the reasonable best efforts of BidCo be deemed or construed to require, BidCo to pay any fees materially in excess of the fees and other amounts contemplated by the Commitment Letter (including any “market flex” provisions set forth in the Debt Fee Letters).

(f) Upon the reasonable request of the Company, BidCo shall keep the Company informed as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of each such request) in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to (i) arrange the Financing, (ii) obtain any Alternative Financing and/or (iii) obtain the Proposed Amendment (as defined in the Commitment Letter). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BidCo shall give the Company prompt written notice after BidCo’s knowledge of (i) any default or breach (or any event that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would, or would reasonably be expected to, give rise to any default or breach) by any party under the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements of which BidCo becomes aware, (ii) any termination of the Commitment Letter, (iii) the receipt by BidCo of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any (A) actual or potential default, breach, termination or repudiation of the Commitment Letter or any Definitive Financing Agreement, or any material provision thereof, in each case by any party thereto, or (B) material dispute or disagreement

62

between or among any parties to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Effective Date or make the funding of the Financing required to satisfy the Financing Uses on the Effective Date less likely to occur, (iv) the occurrence of an event or development that could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of BidCo to obtain all or any portion of the Financing necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses and (v) any condition precedent to the Financing that BidCo has any reason to believe will not be satisfied at the Effective Date.

(g) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Date and the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to use reasonable best efforts to provide, in each case at BidCo’s sole expense, all reasonable and customary cooperation as may be reasonably requested by BidCo to assist BidCo in causing the conditions in the Commitment Letter to be satisfied or as is otherwise reasonably requested by BidCo and as is reasonably necessary or customary for financings similar to the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letter (including any offering or private placement of debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act), including using reasonable best efforts to:

The Company shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, take any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause any Takeover Law (including the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers) to become applicable to this Agreement, the Acquisition or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. If any Takeover Law is or may become applicable to the Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Company and BidCo and the members of their respective boards of directors shall grant such approvals and shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

The Company shall promptly provide BidCo with any written notices or other documents received from any Hedge Counterparty with respect to any adjustment, determination, cancelation, termination, exercise, settlement or computation under, or in connection with any discussions or negotiations related to, the Warrants.

Exhibit 99.1

NCR and Cardtronics Announce Definitive Acquisition Agreement at $39.00 Per Share

Accelerates NCR-as-a-Service Strategy and Expands Opportunities in Payments

Transaction Expected to be Accretive to NCR Earnings in First Full Year

ATLANTA and HOUSTON, January 25, 2021 – NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global enterprise technology provider for the financial, retail and hospitality industries, and Cardtronics (Nasdaq: CATM), the world’s largest non-bank ATM operator and service provider, today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which NCR will acquire all outstanding shares of Cardtronics for $39.00 per share in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of approximately $2.5 billion, including debt. The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.

“This transaction accelerates the NCR-as-a-Service strategy we laid out at Investor Day in December, further shifts NCR’s revenue mix to software, services and recurring revenue, and adds value for our customers,” said Michael D. Hayford, President and Chief Executive Officer of NCR. “We have had a long-standing relationship with Cardtronics and its outstanding team. Its Allpoint network is highly complementary to NCR’s payments platform, and the combined company will be able to seamlessly connect retail and banking customers. Simply put, we are better together.”

“We are pleased to announce this compelling transaction, which will deliver superior value to our shareholders,” said Edward H. West, Chief Executive Officer of Cardtronics. “This is a testament to the strength and value of Cardtronics, our talented team and customer base, and the complementary nature of our two businesses. Our Board determined that this transaction, which follows a comprehensive process and review of alternatives, is in the best interest of Cardtronics and our shareholders.”

The combined company is expected to achieve $100-$120 million in run rate operating cost synergies by the end of 2022. The transaction is expected to be accretive to NCR’s non-GAAP EPS in the first full year following the close of the transaction.

NCR plans to finance the transaction with cash on hand and fully committed financing from Bank of America, N.A. The transaction is expected to close in mid-year 2021, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by Cardtronics’ shareholders. Upon completion of the transaction, Cardtronics will become a privately held company and Cardtronics’ common shares will no longer be listed on any public market.

Prior to entry into the agreement with NCR, Cardtronics terminated its previously announced acquisition agreement with an entity affiliated with funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement. In connection with the termination, NCR paid the termination fee of $32.6M in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement.

BofA Securities is serving as financial advisor to NCR and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is serving as legal counsel. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as financial advisor to Cardtronics, and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Ashurst LLP are serving as legal counsel.
