| **Item 1.01** | **Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.** |

---

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

*Indenture*

On February 4, 2026, the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as trustee (the "Trustee"), entered into the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 4, 2026 (the "Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture") to the Indenture, dated as of March 5, 2021, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the "Convertible Notes Original Indenture" and, together with the Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture, the "Convertible Notes Indenture"), relating to the Company's 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Convertible Notes").

As a result of the Merger, and pursuant to the Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture, the Convertible Notes are no longer convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock"). Instead, subject to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes Indenture, the Convertible Notes are convertible into an amount of cash based on the per share merger consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Convertible Notes Indenture and the transactions contemplated thereby is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Convertible Notes Indenture. A copy of the Convertible Notes Original Indenture was filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2025. A copy of the Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture is filed hereto as Exhibit 4.1. The Convertible Notes Original Indenture and the Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

*Unwind Agreements*

As previously disclosed, in connection with issuing the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions") with certain financial institutions (the "Capped Call Counterparties"). On February 4, 2026, the Company entered into unwind agreements with each Capped Call Counterparty pursuant to which, in the aggregate, all Capped Call Transactions were terminated in exchange for a nominal payment in favor of the Company.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), and as a result of the Merger:

● each unvested Company RSU and unvested Company PSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an award representing the right to receive a cash payment based on the Merger Consideration, subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting) that applied to such awards immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that any performance conditions were deemed achieved at 100% of target performance levels, and subject to certain other specified exceptions that applied, among other things, to holders of such unvested awards that were residents of Canada and certain other non-U.S. jurisdictions);

● each unvested Company stock option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each Company stock option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, was cancelled without consideration; and

● <sup></sup> (i) each share of Company Common Stock that was held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and ceased to exist and no consideration was delivered in exchange therefor, and (ii) each share of Company Common Stock that was owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, was, at the election of Parent, either converted into shares of common stock of the surviving corporation in the Merger or canceled.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.

<u>Section 7</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Adjourned Meetings</u>. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

<u>Section 8</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Vote Required</u>. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law or of the certificate of incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

<u>Section 9</u><u>Voting Rights</u>. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or by the certificate of incorporation of the corporation or any amendments thereto and subject to Section 3 of Article VI hereof, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of common stock held by such stockholder.

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, or the corporation's principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days after the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof.

Any action permitted or required to be taken by written consent may be effected by electronic transmission to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. An electronic transmission shall be deemed written, signed and dated for purposes of this Section if the corporation can reasonably determine that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder and the date on which such authorization was given.

Written consents, including consents delivered by electronic transmission, shall be delivered to the corporation in such manner as may be permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and as the board of directors may from time to time prescribe.

ARTICLE V

<u>INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS</u>

<u>Section 1</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Nature of Indemnity</u>. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), or any appeal of such proceeding, by reason of or arising out of the fact that such person, or any other person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, manager, general partner, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding), and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; but only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or (in all other cases) not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in addition, in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article V, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

------

<u>Section 2</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation provided for under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses provided for under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation wrongfully denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not properly made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. No officer or director will make any claim for indemnification against the corporation by reason of the fact that he, she, or it was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, including any advancement thereof, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by the corporation against such officer or director (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to applicable law or otherwise). To the extent that a director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

<u>Section 3</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Article Not Exclusive</u>. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The provisions of this Article V shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 1 but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or otherwise.

<u>Section 4</u><u>Insurance</u>. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power or obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V.

<u>Section 5</u><u>Expenses</u>. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such action, suit or proceeding's final disposition unless otherwise determined in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer or other person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article V. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

------

<u>Section 6</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Employees and Agents</u>. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified, and may be advanced expenses, to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors.

<u>Section 7</u><u>Contract Rights</u>. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a vested contract right between the corporation and each director and officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect. Such contract right shall vest for each director and officer at the time such person is elected or appointed to such position, and no repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall affect any such vested rights or obligations of any current or former director or officer with respect to any state of facts or proceeding regardless of when occurring.

<u>Section 8</u><u>Certain Definitions</u>. For purposes of this Article V, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article V, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director or officer of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this Article V. For purposes of any determination under Section 1 of this Article V, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him by the officers of the corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or another enterprise. The term "other enterprise" as used in this Section 8 of Article V shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 8 of Article V shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article V.

<u>Section 9</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u> </u><u>Survival</u>. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

------

<u>Section 10</u><u>Indemnification by a Court</u>. Notwithstanding any contrary determination made in any specific case under Section 2 of this Article V, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination made thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 1 of this Article V. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article V. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 2 of this Article V nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

<u>Section 11</u><u>Obligation of the Corporation</u>. The corporation hereby acknowledges that certain directors have certain rights to indemnification, advancement and/or reimbursement of expenses and/or insurance coverage pursuant to this Article V, in any case provided by Thoma Bravo, L.P. and/or certain of its affiliates (each, a "<u>Fund Indemnitor</u>" and collectively, the "<u>Fund Indemnitors</u>"). In all cases (i) the indemnitor and/or payor of first resort shall be the corporation (i.e., the corporation's obligations to a director are primary, and any obligation of any Fund Indemnitor to advance or reimburse expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such director are secondary), (ii) the corporation shall be required to indemnify and/or provide insurance and/or advance and/or reimburse the full amount of expenses incurred by a director, and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement, in each case, to the extent required by this Article V, without regard to any rights such director may have against any Fund Indemnitor, and (iii) the corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or other recovery with respect to amounts for which the corporation is or may be or become liable pursuant to this Article V. No payment by a Fund Indemnitor on behalf, or for the benefit, of a director with respect to any claim for which such director has sought indemnification or other recovery from the corporation shall affect the foregoing, and such Fund Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent thereof to all of the rights of recovery of such director against the corporation (it being understood that any indemnification, provision of insurance and/or advancement or payment made by a Fund Indemnitor is and shall be deemed voluntary by the Fund Indemnitor and shall be repaid to the Fund Indemnitor by the director from any amounts such director receives in respect thereof from the corporation, its insurer or otherwise). The Fund Indemnitors are express and intended third party beneficiaries of the terms hereof.

<u>Section 12</u><u>Other Indemnification Matters</u>. Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 20, 2025, by and among Dawn Bidco, LLC, Dawn Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc., and the corporation, as amended (the "<u>Agreement</u>"), pursuant to which Dawn Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into the corporation (the effective time of such merger, the "<u>Effective Time</u>"). Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary and solely to the extent required by Section 5.06 of the Agreement, the provisions set forth in Article VIII of the bylaws of the corporation, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, solely with respect to acts or omissions that occurred prior to the Effective Time, shall not be modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees (as defined in the Agreement) for the period beginning as of the Effective Time and ending six years after the Effective Time and shall for such duration control with respect to any acts or omissions that occurred prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this <u>Section 12</u> imposes any additional obligation on the corporation that is not already imposed by Section 5.06 of the Agreement.

<u>CERTIFICATES OF STOCK</u>

<u>Section 1</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Form</u>. The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the board of directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chief executive officer, the president or vice president, and by the treasurer, an assistant treasurer, the secretary, an assistant secretary or any two (2) authorized officers of the corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form; provided, however, that, where any such certificate is signed (a) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent, or (b) by a transfer clerk acting on behalf of the corporation and a registrar, if the board of directors shall by resolution so authorize, the signature of such chief executive officer, president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, assistant treasurer, assistant secretary or any two (2) authorized officers may be facsimiles thereof. In case any officer or officers of the corporation who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate shall cease to be such officer or officers, whether by reason of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate shall have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been affixed thereto, had not ceased to be such officer or officers.

<u>Section 2</u><u>Stock Ledger</u>. A record shall be kept by the secretary, transfer agent or by any other officer, employee or agent designated by the board of directors of the name of the person, firm or corporation holding the stock represented by such certificate, the number of shares represented by such certificate, and the date of issuance thereof, and in case of cancellation, the date of cancellation.

<u>Section 3</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Transfer of Stock</u>. Transfers of shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be made only on the books of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the secretary of the corporation or with a transfer clerk or a transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 5 of this Article VI, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes thereon. The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the corporation; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact, if known to the secretary of the corporation, shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer.

<u>Section 4</u><u>Regulations</u>. The board of directors may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the stock of the corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer clerks or one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates of stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

<u>Section 5</u><u>Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Certificates</u>. As a condition to the issue of a new certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued and alleged to have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the board of directors, in its discretion, may require the owner of any such certificate, or his legal representatives, to give the corporation a bond in such sum and in such form as it may direct or to otherwise indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate. Proper evidence of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall be procured for the board of directors, if required. The board of directors, in its discretion, may authorize the issuance of such new certificate without any bond when in its judgment it is proper to do so.

------

<u>Section 6</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings</u>. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

<u>Section 7</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Fixing a Record Date for Action by Written Consent</u>. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

<u>Section 8</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes</u>. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

<u>Section 9</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Registered Stockholders</u>. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

<u>Section 10</u><u>Subscriptions for Stock</u>. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (each a "<u>Share</u>" and, collectively, the "<u>Shares</u>") will be converted into the right to receive $70.00 in cash, without interest (the "<u>Merger Consideration</u>").

WHEREAS, the Merger will constitute a Common Stock Change Event under the Indenture;

WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, Sections 5.09(A) and 8.01(F) of the Indenture provide that the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture providing that each Note shall, without the consent of any Holders, become convertible into Reference Property (as defined below);

The Transaction Date is the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change.

------

#### Supplemental Indenture
In connection with the Transaction, the Trustee and the Company have entered into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture (the "***Supplemental Indenture***") pursuant to Sections 5.09(A) and 8.01(F) of the Indenture which provide that from and after the execution of the Supplemental Indenture, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into Common Stock shall be changed to a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Merger multiplied by $70.00, the consideration paid per share of Common Stock in the Transaction. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>. At the current Conversion Rate of 7.5641 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, upon conversion, each Holder will be entitled to receive $529.487 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. From and after the Transaction Date, the Holders do not have the right to convert Notes into shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company.

#### Repurchase of the Notes

#### This Notice also constitutes a Fundamental Change Company Notice and is delivered pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.02(E) of the Indenture.
**The Transaction constitutes a Fundamental Change, giving the Holders the right to require the Company to repurchase their Notes, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, on March 19, 2026 (the "*Fundamental Change Repurchase Date*"). The Holders' option to require the Company to repurchase their Notes expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on March 18, 2026 (the "*Expiration Time*"). Pursuant to the Indenture, the repurchase price for the Notes shall be an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of such Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, to be so repurchased (the "*Fundamental Change Repurchase Price*").**

**HOWEVER, THE NOTES WILL MATURE ON SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 2026, AND WILL BE PAID IN FULL ON THE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY, MARCH 16, 2026, WHICH IS PRIOR TO THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE REPURCHASE DATE. FOLLOWING SUCH PAYMENT THE NOTES WILL BE CANCELLED AND WILL CEASE TO BE OUTSTANDING, AND HOLDERS WILL HAVE NO RIGHT TO, AND WILL NOT RECEIVE, THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE REPURCHASE PRICE. THIS NOTICE IS BEING SENT OUT STRICTLY TO COMPLY WITH THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 4.02 OF THE INDENTURE.**

To exercise the Fundamental Change repurchase right with respect to any Note, the beneficial owner must cause a book-entry transfer of its beneficial interests in such Note to be delivered through the facilities of the Depositary in accordance with its applicable procedures. A beneficial owner of Global Notes that are held of record by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must instruct such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to effect the transaction on behalf of such beneficial owner, and to transmit an agent's message in connection with tenders made through the DTC Automated Tender Offer Program.

Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Paying Agent appointed by the Company, payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (*provided* the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 4.02(F)(i) of the Indenture) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent appointed by the Company by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 4.02(F)(i).

The Notes must be surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must be delivered to the Paying Agent at the address specified below to collect payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price:

Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

1505 Energy Park Drive

St. Paul, MN 55108

Attention: Corporate Trust Services-Dayforce, Inc. Administrator

------

A Holder may withdraw its Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at any time prior to the Expiration Time in accordance with Section 4.02(F)(iii) of the Indenture. Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is given by a Holder may be converted pursuant to Article 5 of the Indenture only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the preceding sentence or if there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or interest payable as provided in Section 7.01(A)(i) of the Indenture.

Holders that do not elect to require the Company to repurchase their Notes will maintain the right to convert their Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Indenture.

#### Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change, Common Stock Change Event and Conversion Rights
This Notice is also delivered pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 5.01(C)(i)(3)(b) of the Indenture in connection with the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change and Common Stock Change Event.

Pursuant to Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(b) of the Indenture, Notes may be surrendered for conversion pursuant to the terms of the Indenture at any time during the period that begins on the Transaction Date and ends on the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Holders who elect to convert their Notes during such period will receive $529.487 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly surrendered for conversion.

**In addition, the Transaction also constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change resulting in the issuance of Additional Shares upon conversion in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if certain conditions are met with respect to the Company's stock price. However, because the price of Common Stock was less than $89.63 per share on the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate of 7.5641 shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Indenture.**

**Before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note, such Holder shall comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 5.02(D) of the Indenture. A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the date that the Holder has complied with the requirements above.**

**The right of the Holders to convert their Notes is separate from the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder's Notes as a result of the Fundamental Change. You should review this Notice carefully and consult with your own financial and tax advisors. You must make your own decision as to whether or not to tender your Notes for repurchase or to exercise your conversion rights (if at all) and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender for repurchase or conversion. None of the Company, its Board of Directors, employees, advisors or representatives, the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Conversion Agent or any other parties are making any representation or recommendation to any Holder as to whether or not to tender for repurchase or convert that Holder's Notes.**

Holders of the Notes should refer to the Indenture for a complete description of conversion and repurchase provisions and direct any questions concerning this notice to the Company.

**\*The CUSIP number is included solely for the convenience of the Holders. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the selection or use of the CUSIP number, nor is any representation made as to its correctness with respect to the Notes or as indicated in this Notice.**
