Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Concentrix entered into a commitment letter (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Bridge Commitment Letter”), under which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and certain other financing institutions joining thereto pursuant to the terms thereof committed to provide a 364-day bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5.29 billion (the “Bridge Facility”) consisting of (i) a $1.85 billion tranche of term bridge loans (the “Term Loan Amendment Bridge Facility”), (ii) a $1.0 billion tranche of revolving commitments (the “Revolving Amendment Bridge Facility”) and (iii) a $2.44 billion tranche of term bridge loans (the “Term Loan Acquisition Bridge Facility”), each subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including the consummation of the Webhelp Combination. On April 21, 2023, (i) the $1.85 billion commitment with respect to the Term Loan Amendment Bridge Facility and the $1.0 billion commitment with respect to the Revolving Amendment Bridge Revolving Facility were each reduced to zero, and (ii) the $2.44 billion commitment with respect to the Term Loan Acquisition Bridge Facility was reduced by approximately $294.7 million, in each case, in connection with Concentrix entering into the Restated Credit Agreement.

Information for U.S. Persons holding Marnix Lux Shares
This proposed business combination is made for the securities of a non-U.S. company. The offer is subject to disclosure and procedural requirements in France and other non-U.S. jurisdictions that are different from those of the United States. The proposed transaction will be structured to comply with the securities laws and regulations in France, the United States and other applicable jurisdictions that are applicable to transactions of this type.
It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Marnix Lux shares to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, since Marnix Lux is incorporated in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
