On September 13, 2022, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (i) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving such merger as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and (b) simultaneously with the Merger, Merger Sub 2 merged with and into Holdings LLC, with Holdings LLC surviving such merger as the surviving company (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”).
