(“Vertex”), Andor Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub LLC”) and Andor Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub Inc.”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub Inc. will merge with and into Vertex (the “First Merger” and the time at which the First Merger occurs, the “First Effective Time”), and immediately thereafter, Vertex, as the surviving company of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC (the “Second Merger”), with Merger Sub LLC surviving the Second Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Transaction"). Vertex is indirectly controlled by funds managed by American Industrial Partners (“AIP”) In consideration for the Transaction, each share of common stock of Vertex issued and outstanding immediately prior to the filing by Vertex of the certificate of merger for the First Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "First Effective Time") will be converted into the right to receive a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company ("Common Stock") determined pursuant to an exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement. Outstanding options to acquire common stock of Virgo will be cancelled in connection with the Transaction, and in exchange, each current Virgo employee holding such options will be entitled to receive awards of Company restricted stock units, which will generally vest in connection with continued employment following the Transaction. As a result of the Transaction, the stockholders of Vertex immediately prior to the First Effective Time will own approximately 62% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock following the consummation of the Transaction and the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the First Effective Time will own approximately 38%. AIP, through the AIP Party (as defined below) will beneficially own approximately 58% of the Common Stock following the consummation of the Transaction. Upon the consummation of the Transaction, the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) will be composed of eleven members, five of whom will be designated by Vertex, five of whom will be designated by the Company and one of whom will be Xxxxxxx Xxxx, the president and chief executive officer of the Company as of immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction. The completion of the Transaction requires the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement In addition, the consummation of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, the expiration or termination of antitrust waiting periods and receipt of certain other regulatory approvals, absence of injunctions or restraints prohibiting consummation of the Transaction, the Vectrus shareholder approval being obtained and the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement being approved for listing on NYSE. The obligation of each party to consummate the Transaction is also conditioned on the other party's representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions), the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and the absence of any material adverse effect on the Company or Vertex, as the case may be, after the date of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company, Vertex, Merger Sub Inc. and Merger Sub LLC relating to their respective businesses, in each case generally subject to materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for certain pre-closing covenants of the Company, including covenants not to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals and, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that the Company's shareholders approve the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement. However, subject to specified conditions, the Company may furnish information to, or engage or participate in discussions or negotiations with a third party in response to a written unsolicited bona fide acquisition proposal from such third party, in each case if the Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside advisors that it is required to take certain actions with respect to such proposal if failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company.

2 The Merger Agreement provides that a termination fee equal to $16,600,000 will be payable by the Company to Vertex upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company to accept a Parent Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) the Company will have Willfully Breached (as defined in the Merger Agreement) any of its obligations under the no solicitation provisions of the Merger Agreement, or (iii) the Board will have changed its recommendation to shareholders.
