The closing of the Merger was subject to certain conditions, including clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. As previously disclosed, the Company and Parent were advised that CFIUS clearance of the Merger will not be forthcoming and received permission from CFIUS to withdraw their joint filing.
