Tender Offer (a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than five business days after the public announcement of the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser or Merger Sub will commence the Offer for all of the outstanding Shares at a price of not less than $15.50 per Share in cash, net to the seller, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, and, subject only to the terms and conditions of the Offer, will pay, as promptly as reasonably practicable after expiration of the Offer, for all Shares duly tendered and not withdrawn. Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any such condition, to increase the price per Share payable in the Offer, and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, -------- however, that no change may be made which decreases the price per Share payable ------- in the Offer, which reduces the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, which imposes conditions to the Offer other than those set forth in Exhibit A hereto or which extends the Offer (except as set forth in the following sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, without the consent of the Company, (i) extend the Offer beyond the scheduled expiration date (the initial scheduled expiration date being 20 business days following the commencement of the Offer) if, at the scheduled expiration date of the Offer, any of the conditions to Purchaser's obligation to accept for payment, and to pay for, the Shares, shall not be satisfied or waived, (ii) extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation or interpretation of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer, or (iii) extend the Offer for an aggregate period of not more than 10 business days beyond the latest applicable date that would otherwise be permitted under clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, if as of such date, all of the conditions to Purchaser's obligations to accept for payment, and to pay for, the Shares are satisfied or waived, but the number of Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer is less than 90 percent, of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis.
Offer Documents Acquiror shall prepare and on the date of commencement of the Offer, file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall include, as exhibits, an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal, a summary advertisement and other ancillary Offer documents pursuant to which the Offer will be made (such Schedule TO and the documents attached as exhibits thereto, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and promptly thereafter shall mail the Offer Documents to the holders of the Company Ordinary Shares as required by applicable Legal Requirements. The Company shall co-operate with Acquiror in connection with the preparation and filing of the Offer Documents with the SEC, SIC, Court or any other Governmental Entity in relation to the Offer and the Company shall promptly provide to Acquiror such information concerning the Company as may be required or reasonably requested by Acquiror for inclusion in the Offer Documents or any amendments or supplements thereto. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Recommendation of the Company Board of Directors. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Acquiror shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC, SIC, Court or other applicable Governmental Entity and the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. Acquiror shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, SIC, Court or any other Governmental Entity (or their staffs) or any request from the SEC, SIC, Court or any other Governmental Entity or (their staffs) for amendments or supplements to the Offer Documents, and shall provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between Acquiror and its respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, SIC, Court or any other Governmental Entity or (their staffs), on the other hand. Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC, SIC, Court or any other Governmental Entity or (their staffs) with respect to the Offer Documents, and Acquiror shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written response to any such written comments of the SEC, SIC, Court or any other Governmental Entity or (their staffs). Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the dissemination thereof to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares, or responding to any comments of the SEC, SIC, Court or any other Governmental Entity or (their staffs) with respect thereto, Acquiror shall provide the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document or response.
