Conditions Precedent to ExecutionThe share acquisition is scheduled to close subject to the establishment of the target company through an incorporation-type company split. The absorption-type merger is scheduled to become effective subject to the target company becoming the Company's wholly owned subsidiary upon completion of the share acquisition and the completion of the procedures required for the absorption-type merger.
