vals Under the Hart -Scott-RodinoAntitrust Improvements Act (the “ HSR Act”) and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (“ FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless notifications have been given and information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“ DOJ”) and the FTC and certain statutory waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Mergers may not be consummated until Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act have been filed with the FTC and the DOJ and the applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated. On July18, 2025, such Notification and Report Forms were filed with the FTC and DOJ. At any time before or after Closing, the DOJ and the FTC could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable, including seeking to enjoin the Closing, to rescind the Mergers or to conditionally permit Closing subject to regulatory conditions or other remedies. In addition, non -U.S. regulatory bodies and U.S. state attorneys general could take action under other applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the Closing or permitting Closing subject to regulatory conditions. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the DOJ, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Mergers on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, there can be no assurance as to its result.
