On behalf of
the board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Majesco, we are pleased to enclose this consent solicitation
statement relating to the consent to a proposal to approve the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August
8, 2020 (the “Amended and Restated Merger Agreement”) to the original Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 20,
2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement,” and together with the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, the “Merger
Agreement”), by and among Majesco, and two entities affiliated with Thoma Bravo, L.P., Magic Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Parent”), and Magic Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by Parent
(“Merger Sub”), and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (as defined below),
which proposal we refer to as the Merger Proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and
into Majesco (the “Merger”), with Majesco surviving as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
If the Merger
is completed, you will be entitled to receive $16.00 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”),
subject to any required withholding of Taxes, for each share of common stock that you own (unless you have properly exercised
your dissenter rights). The Per Share Merger Consideration represents a premium of: (i) approximately 111.9% over the volume-weighted
average price per share of Majesco’s common stock over the 30 day trading period prior to and including July 17, 2020,
the last trading day prior to the date on which Majesco entered into the Original Merger Agreement and (ii) approximately
109.4% over the closing price of Majesco’s common stock on July 17, 2020.
Majesco’s
common stock is currently traded on The Nasdaq Global Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “MJCO.”
As a result of the Merger, the Majesco common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
The approval
of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, requires approval by holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of common stock of Majesco. We are therefore sending the accompanying consent solicitation statement
to holders of our common stock to request that they consider and consent to the Merger Proposal.
The Board of
Directors has unanimously determined that Majesco’s entry into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, Majesco and its shareholders, and has approved and declared advisable
the Merger Proposal, and recommended that holders of our common stock as of the record date of August 13, 2020 (the “Record
Date”) “CONSENT TO” the Merger Proposal, by executing and returning the written consent furnished with this
consent solicitation statement.
Majesco Limited, which, as of the Record
Date, holds approximately 74.04% of our outstanding common stock, has agreed to, among other things, issue notice through postal
ballot to its members for their approval of the divestment of the shares of Majesco owned by Majesco Limited pursuant to the Merger
and to deliver its written consent to the Merger within one business day following the publication through the stock exchange in
India of the approval by its members of the divestment. Upon receipt of the written consent of Majesco Limited to the Merger, there
will be sufficient consents of shareholders to approve the Merger.
Holders of approximately 36.33% of the outstanding
shares of Majesco Limited have already agreed to vote their shares in the postal ballot to approve the divestment of the shares
of Majesco owned by Majesco Limited pursuant to the Merger, and such voting agreement will remain in place in respect of 50% of
such shares for seven months following any termination of the Merger Agreement that requires payment of a Company Termination
Fee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to Parent.
Majesco will
not be holding a shareholders’ meeting to consider the Merger Proposal.
The obligations
of the parties to complete the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement, which is included as Annex A to the accompanying consent solicitation statement.
Pursuant to an
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2020, (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger
Agreement”), by and among Majesco, and two entities affiliated with Thoma Bravo, L.P., Magic Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Parent”), and Magic Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by Parent
(“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Majesco (the “Merger”), with Majesco surviving as
the surviving corporation (and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent), on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions described in the Merger Agreement.
The accompanying
consent solicitation statement is being delivered to you on behalf of the board of directors (the “Board of Directors”)
of Majesco to request that holders of Majesco common stock as of the close of business on the record date of August 13, 2020 (the
“Record Date”) execute and return written consents to a proposal for the approval of the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, which proposal we refer to as the Merger Proposal. The closing of the
Merger is conditioned on, among other things, consent to the Merger Proposal by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Majesco common stock.
The accompanying
consent solicitation statement describes the Merger and the actions to be taken in connection with the Merger and provides additional
information about the parties involved, the Merger Agreement and the agreements entered into in connection with the Merger. Please
give this information your careful attention. The Merger Agreement is included as Annex A to the accompanying
consent solicitation statement.
The Board of
Directors considered the terms of the Merger Agreement and has unanimously determined that the entry into the Merger Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, Majesco and its shareholders
and has approved and declared advisable the Merger Proposal, and recommended that Majesco shareholders entitled to consent approve
the Merger Proposal.
The Board of
Directors recommends that eligible Majesco shareholders execute and deliver a written “CONSENT TO” the Merger Proposal.

Magic Intermediate,
LLC was formed on July 16, 2020, solely for the purpose of effecting the Merger, did not engage in any business prior to July 20,
2020, and has no, and prior to the Effective Time will have no, assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those
incident to its formation and pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Magic Merger Sub,
Inc. is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Parent that was formed on July 16, 2020, solely for the purpose of effecting the Merger,
did not engage in any business prior to July 20, 2020, and has no, and prior to the Effective Time will have no, assets, liabilities
or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby.
Parent and Merger Sub are owned by Thoma
Bravo Discover Fund II, L.P., Thoma Bravo Discover Fund II-A, L.P. and Thoma Bravo Discover Executive Fund II, L.P. (collectively,
the “Thoma Bravo Funds”), and Parent, Merger Sub and the Thoma Bravo Funds are each affiliated with Thoma Bravo, L.P.
(“Thoma Bravo”), the manager of the Thoma Bravo Funds. Thoma Bravo is a leading private equity firm focused on the
software and technology-enabled services sectors. Following the consummation of the Merger, Majesco, as the surviving corporation
in the Merger, will become indirectly owned by the Thoma Bravo Funds.
In connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement, the Thoma Bravo Funds have provided Parent with an equity commitment sufficient to fund the aggregate
purchase price required to be paid at the closing of the Merger. The Thoma Bravo Funds have also unconditionally agreed to guarantee
the obligations of Parent to pay certain termination fees and the expense reimbursement obligations of Parent set forth in the
Merger Agreement. For more information, please see the section of this consent solicitation statement captioned “The Merger—Financing
of the Merger.”
Upon the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Majesco and the separate corporate
existence of Merger Sub will cease, with Majesco continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent
(the “Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Merger, the Majesco common stock will cease to be publicly traded
and will be delisted from Nasdaq. In addition, the Majesco common stock will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Majesco will no longer file periodic reports with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). If the Merger is completed, you will not own any shares of the capital
stock of the Surviving Corporation. The time at which the Merger will become effective will occur upon the filing of certificates
of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of California in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California
General Corporation Law, as amended (the “CGCL”), and with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) (the time of such filings and
the acceptance for record by the Secretary of State of the State of California and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware,
or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent, Merger Sub and Majesco and specified in the certificates of merger,
being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).
At the Effective Time, each then outstanding
share of Majesco common stock (other than shares of Majesco common stock (1) held by Majesco or any direct or indirect subsidiary
of Majesco, (2) owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub or (3) owned
by Majesco shareholders who have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares
of Majesco common stock in accordance with the CGCL, collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) will be cancelled and automatically
converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $16.00, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”),
less any required withholding taxes.
At the Effective Time, or as promptly
as possible thereafter, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) an amount of cash equal to the aggregate Per Share
Merger Consideration with a designated paying agent for payment of each share of Majesco common stock owned by each Majesco
shareholder. For more information, please see the section of this consent solicitation statement captioned “Proposal 1:
The Merger Proposal—Exchange and Payment Procedures.”
After the Merger is completed, you will
have the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, less any required withholding taxes, and you will no longer have
any rights as a shareholder (except that shareholders who properly and validly exercise dissenters’ rights have the right
to receive payment for the fair value of their shares determined pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL). For more information, please
see the section of this consent solicitation statement captioned “The Merger—Dissenters’ Rights of Majesco Shareholders.”
The Merger Agreement provides that at the
Effective Time, each vested and unvested stock option outstanding under the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (a “Company
Option”) will be automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cancelled in exchange for only the
right to receive, on the first payroll date after the Closing Date, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of
(A) the total number of shares of Majesco common stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time,
multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price per share
of Majesco common stock subject to such Company Option (the “Company Option Cash Out Payment”), less applicable Taxes
required to be withheld with respect to such payment.
Each outstanding Company Option which
has an exercise price per share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration shall automatically be cancelled
at the Effective Time and forfeited for no consideration or payment.
At the Effective Time, each restricted
stock unit outstanding under the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (a “Company RSU”) will be automatically and without
any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cancelled in exchange for only the right to receive, on the first payroll
date after the Closing Date an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Majesco common
stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration
(the “Company RSU Cash Out Payment”), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.
The Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan
will terminate at or prior to the Effective Time.
Under the Merger Agreement, Majesco will
take all actions with respect to its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) such that no participant may increase the
percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on July 20, 2020 for the current offering period,
and no participant may make separate non-payroll contributions to the ESPP other than as required by applicable Law. No individual
who was not already participating in the ESPP as of July 20, 2020 will be allowed to commence participation in the ESPP after
July 20, 2020. In addition, subject to the consummation of the Merger, the ESPP will be terminated, effective immediately on the
earlier of the Effective Time and September 30, 2020. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, if the Merger occurs before September
30, 2020, any then-outstanding rights under the ESPP will terminate and Majesco will distribute to each ESPP participant all of
his or her accumulated payroll deductions (to the extent not yet applied to the purchase of shares) with respect to the current
offering period ended September 30, 2020. Following the purchase of shares pursuant to the current offering period ended September
30, 2020 (if any), the ESPP will be suspended and no new offering period will be commenced under the ESPP after the earlier of
the Effective Time and September 30, 2020.
In connection
with the Merger, Majesco Limited shall take all actions necessary to accelerate the vesting of all awards under the Employee Stock
Option Scheme of Majesco Limited – Plan 1 (“ESOP”) to employees of Majesco and its subsidiaries, including submitting
amendments to the ESOP required to effectuate such acceleration and vesting to its shareholders for approval in the Postal Ballot
in accordance with applicable law. Following receipt of such approval, Majesco Limited shall satisfy all of its obligations under
the ESOP to the holders of such awards which have validly exercised their rights under such awards as promptly as practicable in
accordance with applicable laws and cancel all awards that require such cancellation under applicable laws.
For U.S. federal
income tax purposes the receipt of cash by each Majesco shareholder that is a U.S. Holder (as defined under the caption, “The
Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger”) generally will result in the recognition of gain
or loss in an amount measured by the difference, if any, between the amount of cash that such U.S. Holder receives in the Merger
and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Majesco common stock surrendered in the Merger. Backup withholding
taxes may also apply to the cash payments made pursuant to the Merger, unless such U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures
under the backup withholding rules.
A Majesco shareholder
that is a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined under the caption, “The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
of the Merger”) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of Majesco common
stock for cash in connection with the Merger unless such Non-U.S. Holder has certain connections to the United States,
but may be subject to backup withholding tax unless the Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification procedures
or otherwise establishes a valid exemption from backup withholding tax.
Majesco shareholders
should read the section of this consent solicitation statement captioned “The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences of the Merger” and should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences
relating to the Merger in light of their particular circumstances and any consequences arising under U.S. federal estate, gift
and other non-income tax laws or the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
As a shareholder
of Majesco, under California law you have the right to dissent from the Merger and have the appraised fair value of your shares
of Majesco common stock paid to you in cash. The appraised fair value may be more or less than the Per Share Merger Consideration
to be paid for the shares of Majesco common stock in the Merger.
Under California
law, the holders of Majesco common stock will be entitled to dissenters’ appraisal rights in connection with the Merger, provided
they do not “CONSENT TO” the Merger and that they comply with all other applicable statutory procedures for asserting
dissenters’ rights required by Chapter 13 of the CGCL. Thus, if you wish to dissent and you execute and return a written
consent in the accompanying form, you must specify that your shares “DO NOT CONSENT TO” or “ABSTAIN” with
respect to approval of the Merger. If you do not return your written consent then you also may exercise your dissenters’ rights.
Shareholders who exercise their dissenters’ rights by complying with the applicable statutory procedures required by California
law will be entitled to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares as determined by Majesco or, in the event that
Majesco and such shareholders cannot agree on the fair value of their shares, in a judicial proceeding. The procedures to be followed
by dissenting shareholders are described in the section of this consent solicitation statement captioned “The Merger—Dissenters’
Rights of Majesco Shareholders.”
If you intend
to exercise dissenters’ rights, you should read the statutes carefully and consult with your own legal counsel. You should also
remember that if you return a signed written consent but fail to provide instructions as to how your shares of Majesco common
stock are to be consented, you will be considered to have consented to the Merger Proposal and you will not be able to assert
dissenters’ rights. Also, if you exercise dissenters’ rights, you may have taxable income as a result, so you should consult with
your own tax advisor if you intend to dissent.
The text of the
provisions of Chapter 13 of the CGCL pertaining to dissenters’ rights is attached to this consent solicitation statement
as Annex C.
Under the Merger
Agreement, the Merger cannot be completed until (1) the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), has expired or been terminated, (2) consent of the Reserve Bank of India
has been received, and (3) a No Objection Certificate has been obtained from the Indian tax authorities. For more information,
please see the section of this consent solicitation statement captioned “The Merger—Regulatory Approvals Required
for the Merger.”
Majesco and Thoma Bravo made the filings required under the
HSR Act on July 31, 2020, Majesco Limited filed an application for the No Objection Certificate with the Indian tax authorities
on July 21, 2020, along with a supplemental letter dated as of August 10, 2020 that was filed with the Indian tax authorities;
and filed an application for consent of the Reserve Bank of India on July 31, 2020, along with a supplemental letter dated as of
August 10, 2020 that was filed with the Reserve Bank of India by Majesco Limited through its authorized dealer bank.
On August 12,
2020, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the
Merger. With early termination granted under the HSR Act, the transaction has now received all applicable antitrust regulatory
approvals.
Majesco Limited obtained a No Objection
Certificate dated August 10, 2020 from the Indian tax authorities.
A number of conditions must be satisfied
before the Merger will be consummated. These include, among others:
The obligation of Parent and Merger Sub
to consummate the Merger is not subject to any financing condition.
Each of Parent, Merger Sub and Majesco
may waive any of the conditions to its respective obligations to consummate the Merger at or prior to the Effective Time and complete
the Merger even though one or more of these conditions have not been met. Neither Parent nor Majesco can give any assurance that
all of the conditions of the Merger will be either satisfied or waived or that the Merger will occur.
We anticipate that the total amount
of funds necessary to complete the Merger and the related transactions, and to pay the fees and expenses required to be paid
at the closing of the Merger by Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, will be approximately $742.4 million. This amount
includes funds needed to: (1) pay the Majesco shareholders the amounts due under the Merger Agreement, (2) make payments in
respect of Majesco’s outstanding equity-based awards payable at closing of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement
and (3) pay all costs and expenses of the Merger.
In connection with the financing
of the Merger, the Thoma Bravo Funds and Parent have entered into an equity commitment letter, dated as of July 20, 2020, which
was amended on August 8, 2020 (as amended, the “Equity Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Thoma Bravo Funds
have agreed to provide Parent with an equity commitment of up to $728,738,475 which is the amount estimated sufficient to fund
the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration, the Company RSU Cash Out Payment and the Company Option Cash Out Payment pursuant
to the Merger Agreement.
Majesco has a contractual right to enforce
the foregoing Equity Commitment Letter against the Thoma Bravo Funds, and under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Majesco has
the right to specifically enforce Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger under certain circumstances.
The Equity Commitment Letter provides,
among other things, that Majesco is an express third party beneficiary thereof with respect to enforcing Parent’s right
to cause the equity commitment under the Equity Commitment Letter by the Thoma Bravo Funds to be funded to Parent in order to
consummate the Merger, if, and only if, the Company has received an order of specific performance against Parent pursuant to the
Merger Agreement to cause the closing of the Merger to occur and to cause Parent to enforce its rights against each of the Thoma
Bravo Funds to perform such fund’s obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter. See the section captioned “Proposal
1: Merger Proposal––Specific Performance” for more information. The Equity Commitment Letter may not be amended
or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of Parent, the Thoma Bravo Funds and Majesco.
Pursuant to the limited guaranty delivered
by the Thoma Bravo Funds in favor of Majesco, dated as of July 20, 2020, which was amended on August 8, 2020 (as amended, the
“Guaranty”), the Thoma Bravo Funds have unconditionally guaranteed to Majesco, subject to the terms and conditions
thereof, the due and punctual observance, performance and discharge of payment of:
We refer to the obligations set forth
in the preceding sentence as the “Guaranteed Obligations.” The obligations of the Thoma Bravo Funds under the Guaranty
are subject to a cap equal to $52,011,693.24.
The affirmative consent of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Majesco common stock is required to approve the Merger Proposal.
As of August
13, 2020 (the “Record Date”), our directors and executive officers beneficially owned and were entitled to deliver
consents with respect to an aggregate of 398,821 shares of Majesco common stock, representing less than 1% of the shares of Majesco
common stock outstanding as of the Record Date. Our directors and executive officers have informed us that they currently intend
to deliver written consents representing all of their respective shares of Majesco common stock to “CONSENT TO” the
Merger Proposal.
In connection
with the Merger Agreement, Majesco Limited entered into a Support Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2020, which was amended on August
8, 2020 (as amended, the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which it has agreed, among other things, (i) to issue a
notice (the “Postal Ballot Notice”) through postal ballot (“Postal Ballot”) to its members for their approval
of the divestment of Majesco Limited’s shares of Majesco common stock pursuant to the Merger for the consideration provided
in the Merger Agreement (the “Divestment”) (such approval, the “Limited Shareholder Approval”) no later
than August 12, 2020; (ii) to deliver the written consent of Majesco Limited to the Merger within one business day following the
publication through the stock exchange in India of the Limited Shareholder Approval; (iii) to notify the parties to the Support
Agreement of the result of the votes of its members pursuant to the Postal Ballot Notice immediately and no later than September
13, 2020 and (iv) subject to receipt of the Limited Shareholder Approval, at any meeting of the Majesco shareholders, to cause
its shares to be consented in favor of the Merger Proposal, and against certain transactions including any other Acquisition Proposal.
The Support Agreement and the amendment to the Support Agreement are included as Annex D and Annex E,
respectively, to this consent solicitation statement. As of the Record Date, Majesco Limited owned and was entitled to deliver
consents with respect to 32,111,234 shares of Majesco common stock, representing approximately 74.04% of the shares of Majesco
common stock outstanding as of the Record Date. The Postal Ballot Notice was dated as of August 8, 2020, and the process of issuing
the Postal Ballot Notice electronically to all shareholders of Majesco Limited was completed on August 11, 2020.
In order to deliver
its written consent to the Merger, Majesco Limited must obtain the consent of its members to the Divestment. Approval of the Divestment
requires that at least 75% of the votes cast by the shareholders of Majesco Limited voting pursuant to and in accordance with the
Postal Ballot Notice are cast in favor of the Divestment.
In connection
with the Merger Agreement, Majesco entered into a Promoter Support Agreement on July 20, 2020, which was amended and restated on
August 8, 2020 (as amended and restated, the “Promoter Support Agreement”), with Majesco Limited, Parent and certain
promoters of Majesco Limited and their families named in the Promoter Support Agreement (the “Promoter Group”) pursuant
to which, among other things, upon receipt of the Postal Ballot Notice, each member of the Promoter Group will promptly, but in
no event later than September 11, 2020, in his or its capacity as a shareholder of Majesco Limited, and to the fullest extent of
his or its shareholding or voting rights in Majesco Limited issue his or its unconditional and irrevocable assent to the Divestment.
In the event that approval of the Divestment is sought in a general meeting of Majesco Limited, each member of the Promoter Group
will, in his or its capacity as a shareholder of Majesco Limited, and to the fullest extent of his or its shareholding or voting
rights in Majesco Limited (i) be present, and remain present, at such meeting for the purposes of constituting and maintaining
quorum and (ii) will utilize all his or its voting rights in Majesco Limited to unconditionally and irrevocably approve, adopt
and consent to the Merger and the Divestment. Furthermore, the Promoter Group also agreed that if (i) the board of directors of
Majesco Limited fails to issue the Postal Ballot Notice to all its shareholders seeking the approval of the shareholders to the
Divestment, the Merger and the other Transactions pursuant to the Merger, (ii) fails to convene a general meeting of its shareholders
seeking their approval to the Divestment, the Merger and the other Transactions, (iii) for any reason whatsoever (save for any
adjournments thereof), the general meeting so convened does not take place, the Promoter Group shall, as the legal and beneficial
owner of 36.33% of the total paid-up equity share capital of Majesco Limited requisition, and each Promoter shall individually
procure that the Promoter Group does requisition, the board of directors of Majesco Limited to convene an extraordinary general
meeting in accordance with section 100 of the (Indian) Companies Act, 2013 or issue a postal ballot notice for the approval of
the shareholders of Majesco Limited to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Divestment
(such requisition, the “Promoter Requisition”). In the event the board of directors of Majesco Limited does not, within
twenty-one (21) days from the date of receipt of Promoter Requisition, proceed to call a meeting for the consideration of that
matter on a day not later than forty-five (45) days from the date of receipt of the Promoter Requisition, the Promoter Group shall
call and hold the extraordinary general meeting itself within a period of three (3) months from the date of the Promoter Requisition
(such meeting, “Promoter Requisitioned Meeting”), and each Promoter shall (i) be present for the Promoter Requisitioned
Meeting, and remain present throughout the duration of the Promoter Requisitioned Meeting, for the purpose of constituting and
maintaining quorum and (ii) to the fullest extent of his or its shareholding or voting rights in Majesco Limited issue his or its
unconditional and irrevocable assent to the Divestment, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Promoter Group
further agreed that, in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms under circumstances where
a Company Termination Fee is payable to Parent, then the Promoter Support Agreement will only terminate (A) if Parent or its designee,
as applicable, actually receives the Company Termination Fee and (B) only on the date that is seven months following such termination
of the Merger Agreement, provided that the terms and conditions of the Promoter Support Agreement will apply only to 50% of the
shares or voting rights held by the Promoter Group in Majesco Limited, on a pro rata basis, during the term of the Promoter Support
Agreement.
The Board of Directors has unanimously:
(1) resolved that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, Majesco and its shareholders; (2) approved and declared
advisable the execution, delivery and performance of Majesco’s obligations under the Merger Agreement and the other agreements
and documents referred to or contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (3) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to
the Majesco shareholders for approval and recommended that the Majesco shareholders consent to the Merger Proposal, in accordance
with the CGCL.
In evaluating
the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors consulted
with Majesco’s executive management, outside legal counsel and outside financial advisor. In recommending that the Majesco
shareholders consent in favor of the Merger Proposal, the Board of Directors also considered a number of factors potentially weighing
in favor of the Merger, including those set forth in the section “The Merger—Recommendation of the Majesco Board of
Directors and Reasons for the Merger.”
In its deliberations
concerning the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors also considered
and balanced against the factors potentially weighing in favor of the Merger a number of uncertainties, risks, restrictions and
other factors potentially weighing against the Merger, including those set forth in the section “The Merger—Recommendation
of the Majesco Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger.”
On August 7, 2020, Nomura Securities International,
Inc. (“Nomura”) delivered to the Board of Directors an oral opinion, subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written
opinion dated August 7, 2020, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to various assumptions, qualifications,
matters considered and limitations described in its opinion, the $16.00 Per Share Merger Consideration to be received in the Merger
by holders of shares of Majesco common stock (other than the holders of Excluded Shares) was fair, from a financial point of view,
to such shareholders.
The full text of Nomura’s opinion
describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Nomura. This
opinion is attached as Annex B and is incorporated into this consent solicitation statement by reference. Nomura’s
opinion was provided for the benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with, and for the purposes of, its evaluation of
the Per Share Merger Consideration. The opinion did not address the relative merits of the Merger as compared to other business
strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to the Company or the Company’s underlying business decision
to effect the Merger. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to whether such shareholder should
consent or how such shareholder should otherwise act with respect to the Merger Proposal.
When considering the foregoing recommendation
of the Board of Directors that you consent to the Merger Proposal, Majesco shareholders should be aware that Majesco’s directors,
executive officers and affiliates may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Majesco
shareholders more generally. In (1) evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement, (2) approving the Merger Agreement and the
Merger and (3) recommending that the Merger Proposal be approved by the Majesco shareholders, the Board of Directors was aware
of and considered these interests, among other matters, to the extent that these interests existed at the time. These interests

by Majesco Limited shareholders and regulatory issues in India.
On
July 3, 2020, a conference call was held among Mr. Kazani, representatives of Majesco Limited, representatives of Sponsor A and
representatives from Nomura to discuss financial due diligence matters.
On
July 6, 2020, Mr. Elster and a representative of Bidder D had a call to discuss Bidder D’s non-binding offer. Also on that
day, representatives from Bidder D were granted access to the electronic data site.
On
July 7, 2020, Sponsor B submitted a non-binding offer to acquire Majesco at a proposed price range of between $11.50 and $12.50
per share. On that day, Mr. Elster and another member of Majesco senior management held separate discussions with representatives
of Sponsor A and of Bidder D.
On
July 8, 2020, Mr. Kazani, a representative of Majesco Limited, representatives of Sponsor A and representatives from Nomura had
a call to discuss financial diligence questions based on information provided to Sponsor A.
On
July 8, 2020, Mr. Elster and other members of Majesco senior management, representatives of Thoma Bravo and representatives from
Nomura held a conference call to review customer diligence.
On
July 9, 2020, representatives of Thoma Bravo held a business and finance diligence call with members of the Majesco management
team.
On
July 9, 2020, Sheppard Mullin provided proposed drafts of the merger documentation to K&E and to Sponsor B. Those drafts included
a draft of the Original Merger Agreement including a “go shop” provision, and a draft support agreement from Majesco
Limited. No support agreement with the Promoter Group was offered.
On July 10, 2020, Mr. Elster and Mr. Kazani held a call with
Sponsor E to discuss a potential acquisition of Majesco by Sponsor E.
Also
on July 10 and July 11, 2020, a number of conference calls were held among Mr. Kazani and other members of the Majesco management
team, representatives of Sheppard Mullin, representatives of Nomura, K&E and other representatives of Thoma Bravo to discuss
legal diligence, accounting diligence and quality of earnings.
On
July 13, 2020, K&E sent revised drafts of the merger documentation to Sheppard Mullin. In the drafts, Thoma Bravo removed
the “go shop” provision and indicated its expectations that the Promoter Group would enter into a support agreement
that would include (1) a requirement to vote their shares of Majesco Limited in favor of the transaction even if the board of
directors of Majesco or Majesco Limited effects a change of recommendation (the “Change of Recommendation Provision”),
(2) survival of the voting covenant for six months following any termination of the Merger Agreement (the “Tail Provision”),
and (3) a provision whereby if the Merger Agreement is terminated and Majesco entered into an agreement for an acquisition proposal
with another party within twelve months following such termination (which transaction is subsequently consummated), then the Promoter
Group would provide Parent with 50% of any upside they receive above the merger consideration (the “Profit Sharing Provision”).
On
July 14, 2020, K&E sent to Sheppard Mullin an initial draft of the Promoter Support Agreement reflecting these provisions.
On July 14, 2020, Mr. Elster, Mr. Kazani, other representatives
of Majesco and Majesco Limited, representatives of Thoma Bravo and representatives from Nomura discussed follow up queries on the
operations of Majesco. Mr. Elster also discussed with Thoma Bravo certain issues under the merger documentation, including the
request for a “go shop” provision.
On
July 16, 2020, Sheppard Mullin sent revised drafts of the merger documentation to K&E and Thoma Bravo, which reinstated the
“go shop” provision and eliminated the Change of Recommendation Provision, the Tail Provision and the Profit Sharing
Provision from the draft Promoter Support Agreement.
Later that day, Thoma Bravo submitted an updated non-binding
proposal to acquire Majesco at a price of $13.10 per share, without a go shop provision, predicated on proceeding immediately to
signing definitive agreements with an anticipated signing date of July 19, 2020. The updated non-binding proposal indicated general
agreement with the merger documentation provided by Sheppard Mullin. The proposal also requested a limited exclusivity until 12:00
p.m. Pacific Time on July 20, 2020 with additional 24 hour extensions available upon consent of Majesco’s Chief Executive
Officer in the event the parties were continuing to negotiate in good faith. The offer was not subject to a financing condition,
and the proposal indicated that the offer would be backed by an equity commitment for the full purchase price.
On
July 17, 2020, the Majesco Board of Directors held a meeting at which were also present members of Majesco senior management and
representatives from Sheppard Mullin and Nomura to review the Thoma Bravo proposal and the status of the other bids submitted
and to compare Thoma Bravo’s proposal thereto and to consider Thoma Bravo’s exclusivity request. After discussion,
the Majesco Board of Directors approved granting exclusivity to Thoma Bravo until 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time on July 20, 2020.
Also
on July 17, 2020, K&E and Sheppard Mullin discussed timing related to the Majesco Limited shareholder meeting and approval
process and K&E sent a draft of the Equity Commitment Letter to Sheppard Mullin.
From
July 17, 2020 to July 19, 2020, senior management of Majesco, Sheppard Mullin and Khaitan worked closely with the representatives
of Thoma Bravo, K&E and Thoma Bravo’s Indian counsel Trilegal to negotiate and finalize all diligence and transaction
documentation.
On July 19, 2020, the Majesco Board of Directors met with members
of Majesco senior management and representatives from Sheppard Mullin and Nomura to discuss the potential transaction with Thoma
Bravo and remaining open issues. On the call, representatives of Sheppard Mullin presented to the Majesco Board of Directors the
material terms of the proposed transaction. The Majesco Board of Directors also discussed obtaining an indemnity from Majesco Limited
regarding the termination fee that could be payable if Majesco Limited breached certain of its covenants in the transaction and
entered into an alternative transaction for Majesco Limited. The representatives from Nomura provided an update to the Majesco
Board of Directors on their valuation analysis of the financial terms of the Merger Agreement.
Following
the meeting of the Majesco Board of Directors, representatives of Majesco, Majesco Limited, Sheppard Mullin and Khaitan &
Co negotiated and finalized a letter agreement with Majesco Limited pursuant to which Majesco Limited agreed to reimburse and
indemnify against any and all costs or disbursements incurred by Majesco in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated
by Thoma Bravo (i) due to the failure of Majesco Limited to comply with certain obligations regarding its completion of the postal
ballot process in India and (ii) following the execution of the Merger Agreement and prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement
as a result of the breach, a bona fide acquisition proposal has been made for Majesco Limited and (iii) if within twelve months
after such termination, Majesco Limited enters into a definitive transaction agreement with respect to such acquisition proposal.
Majesco Limited declined to indemnify Majesco for the Company Termination Fee that would be payable upon failure of Majesco Limited
to timely deliver its written consent because of the lack of an alternative transaction in that circumstance to produce a source
of funds for the indemnity.
On
July 20, 2020, the board of directors of Majesco Limited approved the Letter Agreement and Majesco Limited’s obligations
under its support agreement. Later that day, the Majesco Board of Directors of Majesco met with members of Majesco senior management
and representatives from Sheppard Mullin and Nomura. On the call, at the request of the Majesco Board of Directors, Nomura delivered
its oral opinion to the Majesco Board of Directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Majesco
common stock (other than holders of the Excluded Shares) of the per share merger consideration of $13.10 per share to be paid
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which opinion was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of July 20, 2020,
and based upon and subject to the assumptions, matters considered, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, the per share
merger consideration of $13.10 per share to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view,
to such holders. Representatives from Sheppard Mullin also updated the Majesco Board of Directors on the final material terms
of the transaction and the terms of the Majesco Limited Letter Agreement. The Board of Directors deemed that the Thoma Bravo proposal
was in the best interest of the Company. The Majesco Board of Directors then approved the transaction with Thoma Bravo and the
parties executed the Merger Agreement and publicly announced the transaction before market opening in the United States on July
20, 2020.
In
accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, shortly after the approval and announcement of the transaction, Mr. Elster
informed Sponsor A that Majesco was ceasing discussions, and representatives from Nomura informed Sponsor B, Sponsor C, Bidder
D and Sponsor E that Majesco was ceasing discussions. Majesco removed access to these parties and their representatives from the
electronic data site.
On
July 23, 2020, Majesco Limited issued ballot notices through a postal process for approval of the Divestment by its members.
On
July 24, 2020, Bidder D submitted an unsolicited non-binding offer to acquire Majesco at a price of $14.50 per share. The offer
was not subject to a financing condition and indicated that the offer would be backed by an equity commitment for the full purchase
price.
On
July 25, 2020, the Majesco Board of Directors met with members of Majesco senior management and representatives from Sheppard
Mullin and Nomura to discuss the offer from Bidder D. In consultation with Nomura and Sheppard Mullin, the Majesco Board of Directors
discussed the offer, Majesco’s rights and responsibilities under the Merger Agreement with respect to the offer, the fiduciary
duties of the Majesco Board of Directors and Majesco’s plan for responding to the offer. The Majesco Board of Directors
also discussed the history of negotiations with Bidder D and competitive concerns around Bidder D gaining access to confidential
information regarding Majesco’s intellectual property and trade secrets. Following discussion, after consultation with Nomura
and Sheppard Mullin, the Majesco Board of Directors determined, among other things, that Bidder D’s offer was bona fide;
that based on the information then available, the offer would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal under the
Merger Agreement; that Bidder D is a competitor of Majesco and that accordingly, Majesco should implement reasonable protections
for any competitively sensitive information or data provided to Bidder D. For efficiency purposes, the Majesco Board of Directors
also determined to form an ad hoc Negotiating Committee with the authority to clarify the terms of Bidder D’s offer and
potentially to negotiate terms of such offer and/or revised terms from Parent with respect to a potential amendment to the Merger
Agreement. The Majesco Board of Directors appointed Mr. Mehta, Mr. Elster and Earl Gallegos, the Vice Chairman of the Majesco
Board of Directors and lead independent director, to serve on such Negotiating Committee. The Majesco Board of Directors also
instructed Nomura to contact Thoma Bravo to inquire further as to Parent’s intentions with respect to the proposal from
Bidder D.
Later
that afternoon, Nomura had a conversation with representatives from Bidder D and requested Bidder D to execute a waiver of its
existing non-disclosure agreement in order for Majesco to convey Bidder D’s offer to Parent in compliance with the terms
of the Original Merger Agreement. Following receipt of the executed waiver from Bidder D, Nomura on behalf of Majesco, provided
an unredacted copy of Bidder D’s non-binding offer to Parent in the manner required under the Original Merger Agreement.
The
Negotiating Committee met on July 26, 2020 with members of Majesco senior management and representatives from Sheppard Mullin
and Nomura to discuss further Bidder D’s offer. Representatives from Nomura indicated that they had spoken to a representative
from Thoma Bravo, who acknowledged receipt of a copy of Bidder D’s non-binding offer and indicated that Thoma Bravo did
not have any further reaction to such offer at that time.
On
July 26, Bidder D provided a draft of its proposed equity commitment letter.
On July 27, Bidder D provided initial drafts of a merger agreement,
support agreement, promoter support agreement, and limited guaranty to Nomura for Majesco’s and Sheppard Mullin’s review.
The draft merger agreement indicated that Bidder D would pay the Company Termination Fee if the Original Merger Agreement were
terminated in favor of a merger agreement with Bidder D, and that Majesco would need to reimburse such payment in circumstances
where a company termination fee would be due to Bidder D under the merger agreement with Bidder D (the “Termination Fee Reimbursement
Obligation”). The Termination Fee Reimbursement Obligation would have the effect of approximately doubling the termination
fee payable upon Majesco’s termination of such merger agreement with Bidder D in connection with a superior proposal.
Later
that day, the Negotiating Committee met with members of Majesco senior management and representatives from Sheppard Mullin and
Nomura to discuss further Bidder D’s offer. The Negotiating Committee discussed the credibility and viability of Bidder
D’s offer and determined that the offer was credible and should be further explored. The Negotiating Committee then discussed
the diligence with Bidder D and, in particular, the framework for provision of competitively sensitive information. Finally, the
Negotiating Committee discussed the need to explore with Bidder D potential antitrust concerns. The Negotiating Committee then
discussed and approved allowing Bidder D a period of seven days for diligence and finalization/confirmation of their offer, with
an additional three day extension available if negotiations were then proceeding satisfactorily. The Negotiating Committee instructed
Nomura to request from Bidder D new non-disclosure agreements to be entered into with Bidder D that would both conform to the
requirements of the Merger Agreement and protect competitively sensitive information, and to inform Bidder D of the seven day
timeline, with a potential three day extension.
On
July 29, 2020, Sheppard Mullin had an initial call with outside legal counsel to Bidder D, to discuss the merger documentation
and Bidder D’s revisions to the same.
Later
on July 29, 2020, the Negotiating Committee had a call on which were also present members of Majesco senior management and representatives
from Sheppard Mullin and Nomura to discuss further Bidder D’s offer. Representatives of Sheppard Mullin updated the Committee
on their introductory call with counsel for Bidder D and the new non-disclosure agreements. The Negotiating Committee discussed
the diligence process and the importance of protecting the competitively sensitive information of Majesco, including limitations
on the number of firms that would be given access to competitively sensitive information. Sheppard Mullin also updated the Committee
on antitrust concerns around the proposed transaction with Bidder D.
Later
on July 29, 2020, Bidder D executed the new non-disclosure agreements, following which representatives of Bidder D and its advisors
were given access to the electronic data site. Management of Majesco conducted extensive diligence sessions with Bidder D and
its advisors over the course of the following days.
On
July 30, 2020, Sheppard Mullin and counsel for Bidder D discussed information requests related to the parties’ antitrust
analysis.
On
July 31, 2020, the Negotiating Committee had a call on which were also present members of Majesco senior management and representatives
from Sheppard Mullin to discuss further Bidder D’s offer, the antitrust analysis of the transaction, proposed merger documentation
legal terms, diligence and next steps. The Negotiating Committee indicated its desire to maintain the termination fees at the
same levels as those included in the Original Merger Agreement, notwithstanding the increase in the merger consideration, and
remove the Termination Fee Reimbursement Obligation.
On
July 31, 2020, Majesco Limited filed its application for the approval of the Divestment with the Reserve Bank of India. The same
day, each of Majesco and Parent filed an application under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, including requesting early termination of
the applicable waiting period.
On
August 1, 2020, Sheppard Mullin sent revised drafts of the merger documentation to counsel for Bidder D that proposed to maintain
the termination fees at the same levels as those included in the Original Merger Agreement, remove the Termination Fee Reimbursement
Obligation, include covenants requiring Bidder D to agree to divest assets if required for antitrust approval, include a termination
fee payable to Majesco upon failure of antitrust approval, and provide for the acceleration and payment at closing of all RSUs.
On
August 1, 2020, Sheppard Mullin and counsel for Bidder D held a call to discuss Sheppard Mullin’s revisions to the merger agreement,
including Majesco’s deletion of Majesco’s obligation to reimburse Bidder D for the Company Termination Fee that Bidder
D would pay on behalf of Majesco as a result of terminating the Original Merger Agreement, in the event a company termination
fee later became payable to Bidder D in certain circumstances.
On
August 2, 2020, the Majesco Board of Directors met with members of Majesco’s senior management and representatives from
Sheppard Mullin and Nomura to discuss further Bidder D’s offer. Representatives from Nomura advised that Bidder D had reaffirmed
its interest in proceeding with a transaction, requested further due diligence calls, and anticipated being ready to sign definitive
agreements by August 8, 2020. Representatives from Nomura further stated that Thoma Bravo had not yet responded substantively
to Bidder D’s proposal. Representatives of Sheppard Mullin advised the Majesco Board of Directors on the process for antitrust
approval in the United States in respect of a transaction with Bidder D, including anticipated timing and related effects on
timing of Closing, the potential for requirements for divestment of certain assets by Bidder D or Majesco and other uncertainties.
Representatives from Sheppard Mullin also updated the Majesco Board of Directors on the status of negotiations with counsel for
Bidder D, including Majesco’s request to remove the Termination Fee Reimbursement Obligation, Majesco’s request for
covenants requiring Bidder D to agree to divest assets if required for antitrust approval, its request for a termination fee payable
to Majesco upon failure to obtain antitrust approval and its request for acceleration and payment at closing of all RSUs. Following
discussion, the Majesco Board of Directors approved delivery of a Proposed Change Notice (as defined in the Original Merger Agreement)
to Parent to be delivered on August 3, 2020, which Proposed Change Notice would (i) inform Parent that the Majesco Board of Directors
may, no earlier than four Business Days after the date of the letter, effect a change in recommendation and terminate the Original
Merger Agreement with Parent to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement with Bidder D and (ii) trigger a four Business
Day match right for Parent. Such notice would include the versions of the merger documentation with Bidder D as further negotiated
by the Negotiating Committee prior to giving such Proposed Change Notice.
On
August 3, 2020, counsel for Bidder D sent revised drafts of the merger documentation to Sheppard Mullin, which included
Bidder D’s willingness to either (1) pay the Company Termination Fee on Majesco’s behalf, but conditioned on
reimbursement of the same if a company termination fee becomes payable to Bidder D in certain circumstances, or (2) not pay
the Company Termination Fee on Majesco’s behalf. Nomura on behalf of the Company, sent the Proposed Change Notice to
Parent along with such revised drafts of the merger documentation received from counsel for Bidder D.
On
August 4, 2020, the Negotiating Committee held a call with senior management of Majesco, representatives from Sheppard Mullin
and representatives from Nomura to discuss the latest terms of the merger documentation proposed by Bidder D. The Negotiating
Committee discussed reimbursement of the Company Termination Fee to Bidder D in the event a company termination fee becomes payable
to Bidder D in certain circumstances and determined it was in Majesco’s best interest to accept this provision in the merger
agreement.
Later
the same day, the Negotiating Committee held a second call to discuss recent discussions with Thoma Bravo and status of discussions
with counsel for Bidder D with respect to antitrust matters.
On
August 4, 2020, representatives from Sheppard Mullin and K&E discussed the Proposed Change Notice. Representatives of K&E
indicated that Parent may be prepared to offer a higher price if Majesco, Majesco Limited and/or the Promoter Group could agree
to additional deal protections. Representatives of K&E proposed a call option on the shares of Majesco Limited held by the
Promoter Group (the “Call Option”) or alternatively the Profit Sharing Provision that had been included in the draft
Promoter Support Agreement form on July 13, 2020, and the Tail Provision that had also been included in such draft. Nomura on
behalf of the Company, sent an additional notice to Parent along with the revised drafts of the merger documentation for a transaction
with Bidder D.
On
August 5, 2020, representatives of Sheppard Mullin and Bidder D’s legal counsel discussed and finalized all remaining issues
under the draft merger documentation with Bidder D.
On
August 5, 2020, representatives of Sheppard Mullin, K&E, Trilegal and Khaitan & Co discussed Parent’s requests for
additional deal protections, including the Call Option, the Profit Sharing Provision and the Tail Provision.
Nomura
sent the latest draft merger agreement with Bidder D to Parent in the manner required under the Original Merger Agreement on August
6, 2020.
On August 6, 2020, a representative of Thoma Bravo communicated
to Mr. Elster that Thoma Bravo was prepared to provide a superior financial offer if the Promoter Group agreed to additional deal
protections including, the Tail Provision and a Call Option on a portion of their equity in Majesco Limited.
Later that day, representatives of Sheppard Mullin and K&E
discussed the proposed deal protections and Sheppard Mullin communicated to K&E that a Tail Provision should cover only a portion
of the shares held by the Promoter Group in Majesco Limited so that it remained possible to facilitate a future acquisition during
the period of the Tail Provision. Sheppard Mullin indicated it believed that the ongoing ballot process in India would need to
be rescinded and a new postal ballot process organized so as to provide full and complete information to the shareholders of Majesco
Limited about the new deal protection terms. K&E indicated it believed that no such new postal ballot process was required
for the new deal terms.
Following
such discussion, K&E sent to Sheppard Mullin revised drafts of an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, an amendment to the
Support Agreement with Majesco Limited, an amended and restated Promoter Support Agreement, and amendments to the Equity Commitment
Letter and Guaranty. These documents included full acceleration and payment at closing of the RSUs, additional “hell or
high water” antitrust covenants of Parent not present in the Original Merger Agreement, an increase in the match period
for follow-up Proposed Change Notices from three to five Business Days, a Tail Provision on 50% of the shares of the Promoter
Group in Majesco Limited with a nine month duration, a Call Option on 13.49% of the shares of the Promoter Group in Majesco Limited
and continuation of the ongoing postal balloting process in India.
On August 7, 2020, Trilegal and Khaitan & Co. discussed
the deal protections under the amended and restated Promoter Support Agreement.
On August 7, 2020, the Majesco Board of Directors met with members
of Majesco senior management and representatives from Sheppard Mullin and Nomura and discussed the status of discussions with Bidder
D and Thoma Bravo. Mr. Elster then reported that Thoma Bravo had stated that it intended to give an updated proposal a few minutes
before 9 p.m. EST that would be at a materially higher price than Bidder D’s price but that its willingness to do so was
expressly conditioned upon a very short expiration date of such offer and additional deal protections in amended transaction documents
that would include such higher price. The Majesco Board of Directors discussed the additional deal protections included in the
latest drafts submitted by K&E, including the Call Option, the Tail Provision and the change in match period for follow-up
Proposed Change Notices. The Majesco Board of Directors also discussed the need for a new postal ballot in India and the revised
timing for such process, and the legality under Indian law of the proposed Call Option. The Majesco Board of Directors noted that
the Tail Provision would not preclude the Majesco Board of Directors from terminating the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement
to accept a superior proposal made prior to the delivery of the Majesco Limited consent to the Merger or from consummating such
transaction while the Tail Provision was in effect given it application to only 50% of the shares of the Promoter Group. The Board
also discussed the Tail Provision duration and the overlap with the time needed to obtain regulatory approvals.
The
Majesco Board of Directors further noted that only Bidder D had come forth with an acquisition proposal above the $13.10 per share
price in the Original Merger Agreement, and Bidder D, should it be willing to top the price that Parent would pay under the Amended
and Restated Merger Agreement, would have a realistic expectation of additional antitrust scrutiny that would use up a significant
portion of the Tail Period duration. Upon further discussion, the Majesco Board of Directors instructed Nomura to contact Bidder
D, and without breaching confidentiality obligations owed to Parent concerning the status of negotiations with Parent, request
that Bidder D provide executed transaction documents with its best price before 7 p.m. EST.
Throughout the day on August 7, 2020, Sheppard Mullin and Majesco
senior management held further negotiations with K&E and Thoma Bravo, respectively, pursuant to which they negotiated a number
of improvements to the revised transaction documents submitted by Thoma Bravo through K&E, including authorization for a revised
postal ballot process and adjustments to the associated deadlines for completion of such process and delivery of the Majesco Limited
Written Consent, and the removal of both the Call Option and the Profit Sharing Provision. The Tail Provision, however, remained
a request from Thoma Bravo with a nine month period.
Shortly before 7 p.m. EST, Bidder D sent
merger documentation executed by affiliates of Bidder D reaffirming its initial offer price of $14.50 per share.
Shortly before 9 p.m. EST, a representative
of Thoma Bravo contacted the Chairman of the Majesco Board of Directors and indicated that Parent was willing to raise the merger
consideration to $15.25 per share, with an expiration time that evening and conditioned upon the deal protections that remained
in the draft transaction documents (i.e., primarily the Tail Provision) following negotiations through the day, with a Tail Provision
duration of seven months. The Chairman of the Majesco Board of Directors indicated that he did not believe the Majesco Board of
Directors would accept a merger consideration of below $16.00 per share under those conditions. Shortly, thereafter, the representative
of Thoma Bravo indicated that Parent would submit a new proposal with a merger consideration of $16.00 per share, which statement
was followed by a formal written proposal.
At
9 p.m. EST on August 7, 2020, the Majesco Board of Directors met with members of Majesco senior management and representatives
from Sheppard Mullin and Nomura to consider the proposals of Bidder D and Thoma Bravo. Mr. Mehta informed the Majesco Board of
Directors that Parent had agreed to raise the merger consideration to $16.00 per share and to reduce the Tail Provision duration
to seven months. The Majesco Board of Directors considered the additional deal protections that were a condition of Parent’s
$16.00 offer and Buyers D’s response to the request for Bidder D’s best offer. The Majesco Board of Directors also
considered the advantages of Parent’s offer over any possible price improvement from Bidder D with respect to timeline to
close, antitrust regulatory risk, other execution risks and the materially lower effective termination fee of 3.5% of transaction
value in the Parent proposal versus an effective termination fee of approximately double that amount in any future offer from
Bidder D (taking into account the Company Termination Fee that Bidder D would pay on behalf of Majesco). The Majesco Board of
Directors noted in particular that a transaction with Parent could potentially close as early as October 2020 due to the absence
of notable antitrust concerns and the status of the regulatory approval applications already on file in India.
On
the call, at the request of the Majesco Board of Directors, Nomura delivered its oral opinion to the Majesco Board of Directors
as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Majesco common stock (other than holders of the Excluded
Shares) of the Per Share Merger Consideration of $16.00 to be paid pursuant to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, which
opinion was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of August 7, 2020, and based upon and subject to the assumptions,
matters considered, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, the Per Share Merger Consideration of $16.00 to be paid
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. Representatives
from Sheppard Mullin also updated the Majesco Board of Directors on the final material terms of the transaction. The Majesco Board
of Directors then approved Majesco’s entry into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, the amended Support Agreement
and the amended and restated Promoter Support Agreement and expressed its hope that the Promoter Group would agree to the new
provisions in the Promoter Support Agreement.
On
August 8, 2020 (India time), the board of directors of Majesco Limited approved the amended and restated Letter Agreement and
Majesco Limited’s obligations under its amended Support Agreement.
On August 8, 2020, the Promoter Group executed the Promoter
Support Agreement, and the applicable parties executed the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Promoter
Support Agreement and the other related transaction documentation and publicly announced the signing of the Amended and Restated
Merger Agreement and other transaction documentation in the United States and India.
On
August 12, 2020, the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger. With early
termination granted under the HSR Act, the transaction has now received all applicable antitrust regulatory approvals.
Recommendation
of the Majesco Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger
Recommendation
of the Majesco Board of Directors
The
Board of Directors has unanimously: (1) resolved that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, Majesco and its shareholders;
(2) approved and declared advisable the execution, delivery and performance of Majesco’s obligations under the Merger
Agreement and the other agreements and documents referred to or contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (3) directed that the
Merger Proposal be submitted to the Majesco shareholders and recommended that the Majesco shareholders consent to the Merger Proposal,
in accordance with the CGCL.
The
Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you deliver a written “CONSENT TO” the Merger Proposal.
Reasons
for the Merger
In
evaluating the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors
consulted with Majesco’s executive management, outside legal counsel and outside financial advisor. In recommending that
the Majesco shareholders consent in favor of the Merger Proposal, the Board of Directors also considered a number of factors potentially
weighing in favor of the Merger, including the following (not necessarily in order of relative importance):
|
●
|
the
belief of the Board of Directors, after a review of Majesco’s current and historical
financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy, competitive
position and industry, including the potential impact (which cannot be quantified numerically)
of those factors on the trading price of Majesco common stock, that the value offered
under the Merger Agreement is more favorable to Majesco shareholders than the potential
value that might have resulted from remaining a U.S. public company, considering:
|
|
○
|
the
adverse impact on economies around the world and Majesco’s customers of the current
COVID-19 pandemic;
|
|
○
|
Majesco’s
ability to achieve increased market penetration for its product and service offerings
and obtain new customers;
|
|
○
|
Majesco’s
ability to raise future capital as needed;
|
|
○
|
the
growth prospects of the property & casualty and life & annuity insurance industry;
|
|
○
|
the
strength and potential of Majesco’s technology platform and its ability to innovate
and anticipate future customer needs;
|
|
○
|
Majesco’s
ability to compete successfully against other providers and products;
|
|
○
|
data
privacy and cyber security risks;
|
|
○
|
technological
disruptions;
|
|
○
|
Majesco’s
ability to successfully integrate its acquisitions and identify new acquisitions;
|
|
○
|
the
risk of loss of customers or strategic relationships;
|
|
○
|
the
success of Majesco’s research and development investments;
|
|
○
|
changes
in economic conditions, political conditions and trade protection measures;
|
|
○
|
regulatory
and tax law changes and immigration risks;
|
|
○
|
Majesco’s
ability to obtain, use or successfully integrate third-party licensed technology;
|
|
○
|
the
limited trading volume of Majesco common stock in the market;
|
|
○
|
the
volatility in trading price of Majesco common stock, which has at times been uncorrelated
with Majesco’s financial performance, and that no recognized U.S. equity research
analysts publish research reports regarding Majesco;
|
|
○
|
the
challenges and risks that Majesco has faced, and would likely continue to face, if it
remained an independent company, including competition from much larger firms possessing
greater financial resources and more comprehensive service offerings, changing client
demands and pricing pressures and execution risks involved with the implementation of
management’s key objectives for Majesco;

|
○
|
the
additional costs and burdens involved with being a public company, and general market
risks;
|
|
○
|
the
view of the Board of Directors that Majesco has benefitted from the favorable domestic
and international economic conditions that prevailed in the years between the major economic
downturn of 2008-2009 and the current COVID-19 pandemic, and if Majesco were to remain
an independent, publicly traded company, the value of its common stock would be susceptible
to future changes and uncertainties in domestic and international economic conditions,
including reduced demand for information technology products and services characteristic
of prior economic downturns; and

the
results of the price discovery activities performed by Nomura prior to Majesco’s entry
into the Original Merger Agreement.

the relationship of the Per Share Merger Consideration to the trading
price of Majesco common stock, including that the Per Share Merger Consideration constituted a premium of 111.9% over Majesco’s
volume-weighted average closing price during the 30-trading day period ending July 17, 2020, the last trading day prior to the
date on which Majesco entered into the Original Merger Agreement, and the relationship of the Per Share Merger Consideration as
compared to the per share merger consideration of $14.50 offered by Bidder D;

the
financial analysis presentation of Nomura and the opinion provided to the Board of Directors,
dated August 7, 2020, by Nomura as to the fairness from a financial point of view to
the holders of Majesco’s outstanding common stock (other than holders of the Excluded
Shares) of the $16.00 Per Share Merger Consideration in cash to be paid to such holders
in the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, based upon and subject to the qualifications,
assumptions, matters considered and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by
Nomura as set forth in such opinion, as more fully described below in the section entitled
“Opinion of Nomura Securities International, Inc., Financial Advisor to Majesco”;
|
|
●
|
the
certainty of value of the all-cash merger consideration, eliminating long-term business
and execution risk;
|
|
●
|
the
view of the Board of Directors that the terms of the Merger Agreement would give another
buyer that was willing to make an unsolicited acquisition proposal a reasonable opportunity
to do so;
|
|
●
|
the
right of the Board of Directors under the Merger Agreement to respond to a third party
submitting an unsolicited acquisition proposal by providing non-public information subject
to, among other conditions, an acceptable confidentiality agreement, and to engage in
negotiations or substantive discussions with any such person, so long as the Board of
Directors first determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel
and financial advisor that based on the information then available and after consultation
with its financial advisor that such acquisition proposal either constitutes a Superior
Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal;
|
|
●
|
the
right of the Board of Directors, under certain circumstances, to withdraw, withhold,
qualify or modify its recommendation that the Majesco shareholders approve the Merger
Proposal;
|
|
●
|
the
right of the Board of Directors to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into
an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (as defined below under the section of this consent
solicitation statement captioned “Proposal 1: The Merger Proposal––The
Board of Directors’ Recommendation; Company Board Recommendation Change”)
that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside
financial advisors and outside legal counsel to constitute a Superior Proposal, subject
to certain conditions, provided that Majesco concurrently pays a termination fee to Parent;
|
|
●
|
the
other terms of the Merger Agreement, including:
|
|
○
|
the
termination fee of 3.5% of equity value, which the Board of Directors deemed to be reasonable
in light of, among other things, the benefits of the Merger to Majesco shareholders,
the likelihood that a fee of such size would not be preclusive or unreasonably restrictive
of other offers and the offer from the Bidder D;
|
|
○
|
the
conditions to the closing, including the belief of the Board of Directors, with consultation
with counsel, that, while the closing is subject to certain antitrust and regulatory
approvals, there were not likely to be significant antitrust or regulatory impediments
to the closing, as well as the obligations of the buyer to take actions to obtain such
approvals;
|
|
○
|
the
fact that the Merger Agreement is not conditioned on Parent obtaining any outside financing
and Parent has no need for outside financing to complete the transaction; and
|
|
○
|
the
fact that the end date of January 20, 2021 under the Merger Agreement on which either
party, subject to certain exceptions, can terminate the Merger Agreement, allows for
sufficient time to consummate the Merger;
|
|
●
|
the
belief of the Board of Directors, based on negotiations with Parent, that the price to
be paid by Parent is the highest price per share that Parent was willing to pay and that
the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement were, in the view of the Board of Directors,
the most favorable to Majesco and the Majesco shareholders to which Parent was willing
to agree;
|
|
●
|
the
availability of dissenter’s rights to Majesco shareholders who comply with specified
procedures under Sections 1300 through 1313 of the CGCL; and
|
|
●
|
the
protections given to Majesco in the Letter Agreement, wherein Majesco Limited agrees
to, among other things, reimburse, indemnify and hold Majesco harmless from and against
any and all costs or disbursements incurred by Majesco upon termination of the Merger
Agreement under specified circumstances.
|
In
its deliberations concerning the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors
also considered and balanced against the factors potentially weighing in favor of the Merger a number of uncertainties, risks,
restrictions and other factors potentially weighing against the Merger, including the following (not necessarily in order of relative
importance):
|
●
|
Majesco
shareholders would forgo the opportunity to participate in future earnings or growth
of Majesco or the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, or benefit from any future appreciation
in the value of Majesco common stock, including as may result from Majesco’s execution
of its current strategy as a U.S. public company;
|
|
●
|
receipt
of the all-cash Per Share Merger Consideration would be taxable to those Majesco shareholders
that are treated as U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes and also have tax
implications for shareholders domiciled in India (including Majesco Limited);
|
|
●
|
under
specified circumstances, Majesco may be required to pay fees and expenses in the event
the Merger Agreement is terminated and the effect this could have on Majesco, including:
|
|
○
|
the
possibility that the termination fee payable by Majesco to Parent upon the termination
of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances could discourage other potential
acquirers from making a competing proposal, although the Board of Directors believes
that the termination fee was reasonable in amount and would not unduly deter any other
party that might be interested in acquiring Majesco;
|
|
○
|
the
possibility that Majesco could be required to pay the termination fee if Majesco Limited
fails to provide its written consent to the Merger after receiving the Limited Shareholder
Approval for the Divestment, and the limited remedies Majesco would have against Majesco
Limited if such termination fee were triggered;
|
|
○
|
the
possibility that Majesco could be required to pay Parent’s expenses up to $2,000,000
if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances; and
|
|
○
|
if
the Merger is not consummated, Majesco will generally be required to pay its own expenses
associated with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby;
|
|
●
|
the
significant costs involved in connection with entering into and completing the Merger
and the substantial time and effort of management required to consummate the Merger,
which could disrupt Majesco’s business operations;
|
|
●
|
the
announcement and pendency of the Merger, or the failure to complete the Merger, may cause
substantial harm to Majesco’s relationships with its employees (including making
it more difficult to attract and retain key personnel and the possible loss of key management
and other personnel), vendors and customers;
|
|
●
|
the
restrictions in the Merger Agreement on Majesco’s ability to actively solicit competing
bids to acquire Majesco;
|
|
●
|
the
effect that the right afforded to Parent under the Merger Agreement to match acquisition
proposals from third parties may discourage other parties that might otherwise have an
interest in acquiring Majesco;
|
|
●
|
the
restrictions on Majesco’s conduct of business prior to completion of the Merger,
which could delay or prevent Majesco from undertaking business opportunities that may
arise or taking other actions with respect to Majesco’s operations during the pendency
of the Merger, whether or not the Merger is completed;
|
|
●
|
the
risk that all conditions to the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger may not
be satisfied or that satisfaction of such conditions may be delayed;
|
|
●
|
the
market price of Majesco common stock could be affected by many factors, including: (i) if
the Merger Agreement is terminated, the reason or reasons for such termination and whether
such termination resulted from factors adversely affecting Majesco; (ii) the possibility
that, as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, possible acquirers may
consider Majesco to be an unattractive acquisition candidate; and (iii) the possible
sale of Majesco common stock by short-term investors following an announcement that the
Merger Agreement has been terminated;
|
|
●
|
certain
of Majesco’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger
that may be deemed to be different from, or in addition to, those of Majesco shareholders;
|
|
●
|
litigation
may occur in connection with the Merger and such litigation may increase the costs associated
with the Merger and result in a diversion of management focus; and
|
|
●
|
completion
of the Merger would require antitrust clearance in the United States, approval of the
Reserve Bank of India and obtaining a No Objection Certificate from the Indian tax authorities.

Opinion
of Nomura Securities International, Inc., Financial Advisor to Majesco
On
August 7, 2020, at a meeting of the Board of Directors held to evaluate the proposed Merger, Nomura delivered to the Board of
Directors an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated August 7, 2020, to the effect that, as of that date
and based on and subject to various assumptions, matters considered, qualifications and limitations described in its opinion,
the $16.00 Per Share Merger Consideration to be received in the Merger by holders of Majesco common stock (other than the holders
of Excluded Shares) was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.
The
full text of Nomura’s opinion describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on
the review undertaken by Nomura. This opinion is attached as Annex B and is incorporated into this consent solicitation
statement by reference. Holders of Majesco common stock are encouraged to read Nomura’s opinion carefully in its entirety.
Nomura’s opinion was provided for the benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with, and for the purpose of, its
evaluation of the Per Share Merger Consideration. The opinion did not address the relative merits of the Merger as compared to
other business strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to the Company or the Company’s underlying
business decision to effect the Merger. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any Majesco shareholder as to whether
to consent or how to otherwise act with respect to the Merger. The following summary of Nomura’s opinion is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of Nomura’s opinion.
In
arriving at its opinion, Nomura, among other things:
|
●
|
reviewed
certain publicly available business and financial information relating to the Company;
|
|
●
|
reviewed
certain internal financial information and other data relating to the business and financial
prospects of the Company that were provided to Nomura by the management of the Company
and not publicly available, including financial forecasts and estimates prepared by management
of the Company up to March 31, 2021;
|
|
●
|
conducted
discussions with members of the senior management of the Company concerning the business
and financial prospects of the Company;
|
|
●
|
reviewed
publicly available financial and stock market data with respect to certain other companies
Nomura believed to be generally relevant;
|
|
●
|
compared
the financial terms of the Merger with the publicly available financial terms of certain
other transactions that Nomura believed to be generally relevant;
|
|
●
|
reviewed
current and historical market prices of Majesco common stock;
|
|
●
|
reviewed
a draft of the Merger Agreement dated August 6, 2020; and
|
|
●
|
conducted
such other financial studies, analyses and investigations, and considered such other
information, as Nomura deemed necessary or appropriate.
|
In
connection with its review, with the consent of the Board of Directors, Nomura did not assume any responsibility for independent
verification of any of the information provided to or reviewed by it for the purpose of its opinion and, with the consent of the
Board of Directors, Nomura relied on such information being complete and accurate in all material respects. In addition, with
the consent of the Board of Directors, Nomura did not make any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) of the Company, nor was Nomura furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Nomura also did not
evaluate, and did not express an opinion as to the impact of the Merger on, the solvency, viability or fair value of the Company
under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters or the ability of the Company to pay its
obligations when they become due. With respect to the financial forecasts and estimates referred to above, Nomura assumed, at
the direction of the Board of Directors, that they had been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available
estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company. Nomura assumed,
with the Board of Directors’ approval, that the financial forecasts and estimates referred to above will be achieved at
the times and in the amounts projected. Nomura expressed no opinion regarding the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation
to any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the
public shareholders of the Company, in connection with the Merger. Nomura’s opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary,
market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information available to Nomura as of, the date of its opinion. It should
be understood that subsequent developments may affect Nomura’s opinion.
Although
Nomura’s opinion was approved by its Fairness Opinion Committee, it does not address the relative merits of the Merger as
compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company or the Company’s underlying
business decision to effect the Merger. Nomura’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to whether
such shareholder should consent or how such shareholder should otherwise act with respect to the Merger Proposal. At the direction
of the Board of Directors, Nomura has not been asked to, nor did Nomura, offer any opinion as to the terms, other than the Per
Share Merger Consideration to the extent expressly specified therein, of the Merger Agreement or the form of the Merger. In rendering
its opinion, Nomura assumed, with the consent of the Board of Directors, that (i) the final executed form of the Merger Agreement
would not differ in any material respect from the draft that Nomura reviewed, (ii) the parties to the Merger Agreement will comply
with all material terms of the Merger Agreement and (iii) the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement without any adverse waiver or amendment of any material term or condition thereof. Nomura also assumed that all governmental,
regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Merger would be obtained without any adverse
effect on the Company or the expected benefits of the Merger in any way meaningful to Nomura’s analysis. Nomura is not an
expert with respect to legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters and Nomura has relied on the assessments made by the Company
and its advisors with respect to such issues.
In
connection with rendering its opinion to the Board of Directors, Nomura performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses
which are summarized below. The following summary is not a complete description of all analyses performed and factors considered
by Nomura in connection with its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments
and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. With respect to the selected companies analysis
and the selected transactions analysis summarized below, no company or transaction used as a comparison was identical to the Company
or the Merger. These analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics
and other factors that could affect the public trading or acquisition values of the companies concerned.
Nomura
believes that its analyses and the summary below must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and
factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative
description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Nomura’s analyses
and opinion. Nomura did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis for purposes
of its opinion, but rather arrived at its ultimate opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed
as a whole.
For
purposes of its analyses, Nomura utilized Company management’s forecasts for the Company up to March 31, 2021. Management
of the Company did not provide any financial forecasts or estimates to Nomura beyond March 31, 2021. Nomura, at the Board of Directors’
direction, did not perform a discounted cash flow analysis. The results of the fairness analysis might have been different had
such financial forecasts and estimates been provided and a discounted cash flow analysis been performed.
Historical
Trading Performance Analysis
Nomura
reviewed the historical trading performance of the Majesco common stock for the 52 weeks prior to July 17, 2020, the last full
trading day before July 20, 2020, the date on which the Original Merger Agreement was signed and announced. Nomura noted that
the low and high trading prices of the Majesco common stock during such period were $4.57 and $10.03 per share, respectively.
Precedent
Transactions Analysis
Nomura
reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial information relating to selected publicly announced merger and acquisition
transactions with an aggregate value between $50 million and $1 billion in the information technology services and software industry
(with relevant business offerings in the insurance services and solutions and adjacent sectors), announced between July 2015 to
July 2020. It was Nomura’s professional judgment that transactions of this size during this time frame and involving target
companies in the information technology services and software industry (with relevant business offerings in the insurance services
and solutions and adjacent sectors) were most relevant, for comparative purposes, to the proposed acquisition of the Company.
In performing these analyses, Nomura analyzed certain financial information and transaction multiples relating to the target companies
and compared such information to the corresponding information about the Company.
Nomura

For
each of the transactions Nomura calculated and compared the implied enterprise value of each target company as a multiple of the
target company’s revenue and/or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), in
each case, based on the prior twelve months of the latest available public filings as of the time of announcement of the relevant
transaction. Based on the analysis of such metric for each transaction noted above, Nomura selected a representative range of
multiples for each of revenue and EBITDA based on the median precedent transaction multiple, adjusted by 20% in each direction
(as set forth in the table below), and applied this range of multiples to the Company’s reported revenue and/or adjusted
EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC on July 8, 2020, the latest available periodic report of the Company. Where available, Nomura used the adjusted EBITDA of
the relevant target company for its analysis of the precedent transactions. Adjusted EBITDA for such targets may have been calculated
differently. Based on these calculations, this analysis implied value ranges as shown on the table below:

No
company or transaction utilized in the selected transactions analysis is identical to the Company or the Merger. In evaluating
the selected transactions, Nomura made judgments and assumptions with regard to general business, market and financial conditions
and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, such as the impact of competition on the business of the
Company or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition of
the Company or the industry or in the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies
and the aggregate value of the transactions to which they are being compared. Mathematical analysis, such as determining the arithmetic
mean or median, or the high or low, is not in itself a meaningful method of using selected company data.
Comparable
Companies Analysis
Nomura
reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial information, valuation multiples and market trading data relating to
the following publicly traded companies with operations in the information technology services and software industry, with a meaningful
portion of insurance / financial services revenue, which is the industry in which the Company operates:
|
●
|
Guidewire
Software Inc.
|
|
●
|
ExlService
Holdings, Inc.
|

|

International Corporation N.V.
|
|

Corporation Holdings PLC
|
Although
none of the companies listed above are directly comparable to the Company, the companies were selected by Nomura for this analysis
because they are publicly traded companies with operations and/or other criteria, such as lines of business, markets, business
risks and a size and scale of business, which Nomura considered similar to the Company for purposes of analysis.
Nomura
reviewed the enterprise values of these companies (calculated as (a) market capitalization, based on reported fully-diluted common
shares outstanding and closing stock prices on August 7, 2020, plus (b) debt outstanding, preferred stock and minority interest,
less (c) cash and cash equivalents) as multiples of the estimated one fiscal year forward (calendarized for the Company’s
March 31 fiscal year-end) EBITDA, as adjusted for certain items.
Nomura
then applied a range of selected multiples (based on the median comparable company multiples, adjusted by 20% in each direction)
of estimated one fiscal year forward EBITDA derived from the selected comparable companies to the Company’s fiscal year
ending March 31, 2021 EBITDA in two scenarios: a business-as-usual scenario and a risk-adjusted scenario that included provisions
made by the Company for certain business risks including the impact of COVID-19, its life and annuity business not accelerating,
and technology infrastructure outages. Financial data for the Company was based on public filings and forecasts prepared by the
Company’s management up to March 31, 2021. Financial data for the selected companies was based on public filings and other
publicly available information, including from FactSet Research Systems.

No
company included in the selected company analysis is identical to the Company. In evaluating the selected companies, Nomura made
judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and
other matters. Many of these matters are beyond the control of the Company, such as the impact of competition on the business
of the Company and the industry in general, industry growth and the absence of any material adverse change in the financial condition
and prospects of the Company or the industry or in the financial markets in general. Mathematical analysis, such as determining
the arithmetic mean or median, or the high or low, is not in itself a meaningful method of using selected company data.
Premiums
Paid Analysis
Nomura
performed an illustrative premiums paid analysis based on the premiums paid, where applicable, in selected transactions involving
the acquisition of greater than 50% of the equity in a U.S. target, with a transaction value between $300 million and $700 million
and all-cash merger consideration, announced since August 2016, based on data sourced from Dealogic Cortex as of August 7, 2020.
The analysis excluded outlier transactions where the premium was either negative or greater than 150%.
Nomura
then applied a range of premiums from 23% to 34% (based on the median premium to 1-month prior share price of the transactions
referenced above of 28.5%, adjusted by 20% of such median premium in each direction) to the Company’s closing price per
share as of June 17, 2020, resulting in an implied price per share range for shares of the Company’s Common Stock of $8.75
to $9.57.
Miscellaneous
Nomura
calculated the volume-weighted average prices over various time periods and noted the closing stock prices on selected dates prior
to and including July 17, 2020, the last full trading day before July 20, 2020, the date on which the Original Merger Agreement
was signed and announced. This analysis, which was presented to the Board of Directors for informational purposes and was not
considered part of Nomura’s financial analyses with respect to its opinion, indicated that the Per Share Merger Consideration
represented a premium of:
|
●
|
111.9%
based on the volume-weighted average price per share of $7.55 for the 30 days ended July
17, 2020;
|
|
●
|
120.1%
based on the volume-weighted average price per share of $7.27 for the 60 days ended July
17, 2020;
|
|
●
|
124.4%
based on the closing price per share of $7.13 on June 17, 2020, the date that was 30
days prior to July 17, 2020; and
|
|
●
|
151.6%
based on the closing price per share of $6.36 on May 18, 2020, the date that was 60 days
prior to July 17, 2020.
|
Nomura
also presented to the Board of Directors a summary of non-binding proposals that had been received by the Company as of August
7, 2020 for informational purposes. This summary was not considered part of Nomura’s financial analyses with respect to
its opinion.
Nomura’s
opinion and its presentation to the Board of Directors were one of many factors taken into consideration by the Board of Directors
in deciding to approve the Merger Agreement. Consequently, the analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative
of the opinion of the Board of Directors with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration or of whether the Board would have
been willing to agree to different merger terms. The Per Share Merger Consideration and other terms of the Merger were determined
through arm’s-length negotiations between the Company and Parent and were approved by the Board of Directors. Nomura did
not recommend any specific merger consideration to the Company.
In
connection with the financial advisory services that Nomura has provided in connection with the Merger, the Company has agreed
to pay Nomura the following fees: (i) $1 million payable upon completion of the work required for Nomura to render its opinion
and (ii) approximately $6.29 million payable upon consummation of the Merger. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse
Nomura for its reasonable expenses, including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, and to indemnify Nomura against
certain liabilities relating to, or arising out of, its engagement.
During
the past two years, (i) Majesco has not engaged Nomura to provide, and Nomura has not provided, investment banking, financial
advisory or other financial services to Majesco unrelated to the Merger for which Majesco pays or expects to pay fees to Nomura
and (ii) Nomura and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking services and other financial
services to Parent or its affiliates unrelated to the Merger for which Nomura and its affiliates have received, or may receive,
compensation.
Nomura
and its affiliates are involved in a wide range of commercial banking, investment banking and other activities (including investment
management, corporate finance and securities issuing, trading and research). In the ordinary course of business, Nomura, its subsidiaries,
branches and affiliates may trade the securities of the Company (and of entities with which the Company may be considering entering
into a potential transaction or business relationship) for its own account and for the accounts of customers, and may at any time
hold a long or short position in such securities.
The
Board of Directors selected Nomura as its financial advisor in connection with the Merger because Nomura is an internationally
recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in similar transactions and because of Nomura’s familiarity
with the Company and its business. Nomura is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection
with mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, negotiated underwritings, private placements and other transactions.
Management
Projections
Majesco does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose long-term
forecasts or projections as to future performance, earnings or other results due to the inherent unpredictability of the underlying
long-term assumptions, estimates and projections. However, Majesco is including a summary of certain previously nonpublic, unaudited
prospective financial information prepared by its management for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 in order to provide Majesco
shareholders with access to information that was made available to the Board of Directors in connection with its evaluation of
the Merger and the Per Share Merger Consideration. For purposes of this consent solicitation statement, we refer to these projections
as the “Projections.” The Projections were made available to Nomura in connection with the rendering of Nomura’s
opinion to the Board of Directors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (as defined
below) financial measure and is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and excludes stock-based compensation,
a reversal of accrual for contingent liabilities and merger and acquisition expenses. The Risk Contingency line item includes
certain provisions made by Majesco for the potential impact of COVID-19, technology infrastructure outages and the life &
annuity business not accelerating.
The
Projections were developed by Majesco management on a standalone basis without giving effect to the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or any changes to Majesco’s operations or strategy that may be implemented after the
consummation of the Merger, including any costs incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account the effect of any failure of the Merger or other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be completed and should not be viewed as accurate or continuing in that context.
In the view of Majesco management, the Projections have been reasonably prepared by Majesco management on bases reflecting the
best currently available estimates and judgments of Majesco management of the future financial performance of Majesco and other
matters covered thereby.
Although
the Projections are presented with numerical specificity, they were based on numerous variables and assumptions made by Majesco
management with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other
future events, as well as matters specific to Majesco’s business, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately
and many of which are beyond Majesco’s control. The Projections constitute forward-looking information and are subject to
many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results forecasted in the Projections,
including, but not limited to, Majesco’s performance, industry performance, general business and economic conditions, customer
requirements, staffing levels, competition, adverse changes in applicable laws, regulations or rules, and the various risks set
forth in Majesco’s reports filed with the SEC. There can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized or that actual
results will not be significantly higher or lower than forecasted. In addition, the Projections will be affected by Majesco’s
ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable period. The Projections reflect assumptions as
to certain business decisions that are subject to change and cannot, therefore, be considered a guarantee of future operating
results, and this information should not be relied on as such. The inclusion of the Projections should not be regarded as an indication
that Majesco, Nomura, their respective officers, directors, affiliates, advisors, or other representatives or anyone who received
this information then considered, or now considers, them a reliable prediction of future events, and this information should not
be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Projections in this consent solicitation statement should not be regarded as an indication
that the Projections will be necessarily predictive of actual future events. No representation is made by Majesco or any other
person regarding the Projections or Majesco’s ultimate performance compared to such information. The Projections should
be evaluated, if at all, in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other information about Majesco contained
in Majesco’s public filings with the SEC. For more information, please see the section of this consent solicitation statement
captioned “Where You Can Find More Information.” In light of the foregoing factors, and the uncertainties inherent
in the Projections, Majesco shareholders are cautioned not to place undue, if any, reliance on the Projections.
The
Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the published guidelines
of the SEC regarding projections or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), or the
guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in the Projections were relied upon by Nomura for purposes of its opinion and by the Board
of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the Merger. The SEC rules which would otherwise require a reconciliation of
a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure do not apply to non-GAAP financial measures included in disclosures relating
to a proposed business combination such as the Merger if the disclosure is included in a document such as this consent solicitation
statement. In addition, reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures were not relied upon by Nomura for purposes of its opinion
or by the Board of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the Merger. Accordingly, Majesco has not provided a reconciliation
of the financial measures included in the Projections to the relevant GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should
not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP
financial measures as used by Majesco may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. Neither Majesco’s
independent auditor nor any other independent accountant has compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the
Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability.
Adjusted EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure,”
which is a financial performance measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should
not be viewed as a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies. Furthermore, there are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits
that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation. Accordingly, non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together
with, and not as an alternative to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The summary of such information above
is included solely to give Majesco shareholders access to the information that was made available to the Board of Directors and
Nomura and is not included in this consent solicitation statement in order to influence any Majesco shareholder to make any investment
decision with respect to the Merger, including whether or not to exercise dissenters’ rights with respect to their shares
of Majesco common stock.
In
addition, the Projections have not been updated or revised to reflect information or results after the date they were prepared
or as of the date of this consent solicitation statement, and except as required by applicable securities laws, Majesco does not
intend to update or otherwise revise the Projections or the specific portions presented to reflect circumstances existing after
the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions
are shown to be in error.
Interests
of Majesco’s Directors, Executive Officers and Affiliates in the Merger
When
considering the recommendation of the Board of Directors that you consent to the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that our
directors, executive officers and affiliates may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, the
interests of Majesco shareholders generally, as more fully described below. The Board of Directors was aware of and considered
these interests, among other matters, to the extent that they existed at the time, in approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger
and recommending that the Merger Proposal be approved by the Majesco shareholders. These interests are described in more detail
and, where applicable, are quantified in the narrative below. The amounts set forth in the narrative below assume that the closing
of the Merger will occur on October 1, 2020. For purposes of any severance calculations in this narrative, it was assumed
that termination of employment will occur on October 1, 2020.
Treatment
of Company Options and Company RSU Awards
At
the Effective Time, each outstanding vested and unvested Company Option under the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will be
automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof cancelled and converted into the right to receive the
Company Option Cash Out Payment, less any required withholding taxes, payable on the first payroll date after the closing
date.
Any
outstanding Company Option (whether vested or unvested) with a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share
Merger Consideration will be automatically cancelled at the Effective Time and forfeited without payment or consideration.
At
the Effective Time, each Company RSU outstanding under the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will be automatically and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof cancelled and converted to the right to receive the Company RSU Cash Out
Payment, less any required withholding taxes, payable on the first payroll date after the closing date.
The
Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate at or prior to the Effective Time.
Treatment of Awards Under ESOP of
Majesco Limited
Several
employees of Majesco and its subsidiaries are recipients of equity awards under the ESOP of Majesco Limited. In addition, Farid
Kazani, while not an employee of Majesco, is its interim Chief Financial Officer and a recipient of awards under the ESOP.
In connection with the Merger, Majesco Limited shall take all
actions necessary to accelerate the vesting of all awards under the ESOP to employees of Majesco and its subsidiaries, including
submitting amendments to the ESOP required to effectuate such acceleration and vesting to its shareholders for approval in the
Majesco Limited Postal Ballot in accordance with applicable law. Following receipt of such approval, Majesco Limited shall satisfy
all of its obligations under the ESOP to the holders of such awards which have validly exercised their rights under such awards
as promptly as practicable in accordance with applicable laws and cancel all awards that require such cancellation under applicable
laws.
Treatment of Purchase Rights under
the ESPP
Under
the Merger Agreement, Majesco will take all actions with respect to its ESPP such that no participant may increase the percentage
amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on July 20, 2020 for the current offering period , and no
participant may make separate non-payroll contributions to the ESPP other than as required by applicable Law. No individual who
was not already participating in the ESPP as of July 20, 2020 will be allowed to commence participation in the ESPP after July
20, 2020. In addition, subject to the consummation of the Merger, the ESPP will be terminated, effective immediately on the earlier
of the Effective Time and September 30, 2020. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, if the Merger occurs before September 30,
2020, any then-outstanding rights under the ESPP will terminate and Majesco will distribute to each ESPP participant all of his
or her accumulated payroll deductions (to the extent not yet applied to the purchase of shares) with respect to the current offering
period ended September 30, 2020. Following the purchase of shares pursuant to the current offering period ended September 30,
2020 (if any), the ESPP will be suspended and no new offering period will be commenced under the ESPP after the earlier of the
Effective Time and September 30, 2020.
Shares
and Equity Awards Held by Majesco’s Executive Officers and Non-Employee Directors
The
following table sets forth the number of shares of Majesco common stock and the number of shares of Majesco common stock underlying
equity awards held by each of Majesco’s executive officers and non-employee directors that are outstanding as of August
3, 2020 under the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, taking into account any vesting that occurs with respect to such equity
awards on or prior to October 1, 2020. The table also sets forth the values of these shares and equity awards, determined as the
number of shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration, Company Option Cash Out Payment or Company RSU Cash Out Payment,
as applicable). No additional shares of Majesco common stock or equity awards were granted to any executive officer or non-employee
director in contemplation of the Merger.

The number of shares
of Majesco common stock subject to Company Options includes both vested and unvested Company Options. The number of shares
subject to the vested and unvested portions of the Company Options and the value (determined as the aggregate number of underlying
shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration minus the aggregate exercise price with respect to such shares) of
those portions of the Company Options are set forth in the table below.

|
For the purposes
of this table, we have assumed that the closing of the Merger will occur on October 1, 2020. As a result, this
number reflects the number of shares of Majesco common stock subject to Company RSUs that were not vested as of October
1, 2020.

Employment
Agreements and Severance Policies with Certain Executive Officers
Each
of our executive officers is entitled to severance or notice pay in the event of a termination by us without cause. Messrs. Elster
and Miller are also entitled to severance in the event of a resignation by such named executive officer for good reason. The details
of such severance arrangements are described below. In addition, Mr. Elster is entitled to receive a retention bonus in connection
with the Merger, as further described below.
Pursuant
to the terms of the employment offer letter dated September 20, 2018 (the “Elster Offer Letter”), except if Mr. Elster’s
employment is terminated by Majesco for Cause (as defined in the Elster Offer Letter) or Mr. Elster resigns without Good
Reason (as defined in the Elster Offer Letter), Mr. Elster will receive any earned but unpaid bonus for the fiscal year preceding
the date of termination and a pro-rated annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs (based on the time employed
during such fiscal year) and based on actual performance during such fiscal year. The estimated severance amount of such bonus
payments will be $250,000. In addition, if we terminate Mr. Elster’s employment without Cause or Mr. Elster resigns
for Good Reason, then subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, Mr. Elster shall receive severance
equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary ($500,000); provided, however, if Mr. Elster’s employment
is terminated within 120 days prior to, or twelve months following, a Corporate Transaction of the Company (as defined in the
2015 Equity Incentive Plan), Mr. Elster will receive two times the sum of his then-current base salary plus his target
annual bonus (in each case payable over a period of 12 months following his release becoming effective), resulting in an
estimated aggregate amount of $2,000,000. In addition, if we terminate Mr. Elster’s employment without Cause or Mr. Elster
resigns for Good Reason, then subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, if Mr. Elster timely
elects and remains eligible for coverage pursuant to COBRA, we will pay or reimburse him an amount equal to the full monthly premium
for COBRA continuation coverage under our medical plans as in effect on the date of his termination with respect to the level
of coverage in effect for Mr. Elster and his eligible dependents as of the date of his termination, with respect to the period
from the date of his termination until the earlier of (x) 12 months following such date and (y) the date he becomes eligible
for continued coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan, resulting in an estimated payment of $19,401.72.
Pursuant
to the terms of the employment letter agreement with James Miller dated March 12, 2019 (the “Miller Offer Letter”),
we may terminate Mr. Miller’s employment at any time without Cause (as defined in the Miller Offer Letter) on two weeks
prior notice or with Cause, and Mr. Miller may terminate his employment at any time by providing two weeks prior notice.
In the event that Mr. Miller’s employment is terminated by us without Cause, Mr. Miller will receive a lump sum
payment equal to six months of his then base salary and the pro-rated portion of any annual bonus Mr. Miller may be
entitled to (the “Miller Severance Payment”) subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, resulting
in an estimated payment of $287,500. In the event that Mr. Miller’s employment is terminated for a reason defined as
a Change in Control (as defined in the Miller Offer Letter) or Mr. Miller terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined
in the Miller Offer Letter) as a result of a Change in Control, Mr. Miller will receive the Miller Severance Payment in an
amount equal to $287,500. While the Miller Offer Letter does not provide for such continuation of coverage, Mr. Miller will receive
six months of Company-paid COBRA coverage, valued in the amount of $9,700.86, in the event of his termination without Cause or
for Good Reason as a result of a Change in Control.
Pursuant
to the terms of the employment letter agreement with Edward Ossie dated December 1, 2014 (the “Ossie Offer Letter”),
Mr. Ossie’s employment is “at will” and we may terminate his employment at any time, with a four week notice
period or Mr. Ossie may terminate his employment, with a four week notice period. In the event that Mr. Ossie’s employment
is terminated by us at any time for any reason, Mr. Ossie will receive a lump sum payment equal to six months of his then base
salary and benefits, as well as accelerated vesting with respect to any granted option program, subject to approval by our Board
of Directors, resulting in a severance payment in the amount of $279,088. The severance benefits provided for in the Ossie Offer
Letter will be provided subject to Mr. Ossie’s compliance with all restrictive covenants to which he is subject, as well
as the execution of such documents or agreements as we may require after his termination. Though Mr. Ossie may not be entitled
to such a benefit under the Ossie Offer Letter, pursuant to the Company’s severance policy (as described further below)
he may also be entitled to receive the pro-rated portion of his annual bonus.
Pursuant
to the terms of the employment agreement with Manish Shah dated March 7, 2012, as amended from time to time (the “Shah Employment
Agreement”), Mr. Shah’s employment is subject to automatic annual renewal on the anniversary of the effective date
thereof, unless 90 days prior to any such anniversary, either party gives notice that the term will not be extended. The Company
may terminate Mr. Shah’s employment at any time without Cause (as defined in the Shah Employment Agreement) on ten business
days’ written notice, and Mr. Shah may terminate his employment at any time for Good Reason (as defined in the Shah Employment
Agreement) by providing ten business days’ written notice. Additionally, both the Company and Mr. Shah may terminate his
employment immediately at any time, for Cause or without Good Reason, as applicable, upon written notice to the other party. If
Mr. Shah’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Shah for Good Reason, Mr. Shah will be entitled
to receive a severance payment determined by (i) dividing his highest annual salary over the past 12 months by 12 to determine
the monthly salary; and then (ii) multiplying such monthly salary by six. Such severance payment will be in the amount of
$175,000 and will be paid in equal monthly installments (without interest) on the first day of each calendar month, subject to
Mr. Shah’s execution and non-revocation of a general release in favor of Majesco and compliance with his restrictive covenants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and General Release dated
July 8, 2020, between Wayne Locke and Majesco (the “Locke Agreement”), Mr. Locke’s employment terminated without
cause as of July 8, 2020. Pursuant to the Locke Agreement, Mr. Locke received a severance payment consisting of: (i) two weeks
of notice pay in the amount of $11,153.85; (ii) six months of base salary in the gross amount of $145,000; (iii) a pro-rated portion
of Mr. Locke’s bonus payment for fiscal year 2021 in the amount of $39,293.89; and (iv) up to $9,700.86 as a COBRA assistance
payment if Mr. Locke elects to enroll in “COBRA” type continuation coverage under the Company’s group health
plan, for the six months period following termination of employment. In exchange for this severance payment, Mr. Locke provided
a general release in favor of Majesco.
On
May 7, 2019, our Board of Directors and compensation committee adopted a severance policy for the Majesco Leadership Team
and Senior Vice Presidents (including Messrs. Solanki, Sengupta, Ossie and Shah) who have been with Majesco for at least one year
(collectively, the “Executives”) and are terminated without cause (as defined in the policy). Generally no severance
will be payable if termination is due to the Executive’s dishonesty (including theft), insubordination, job abandonment,
willful refusal to perform his or her job, violation of the Executive’s employment agreement and confidentiality obligations,
violation of Majesco policies on discrimination, unlawful harassment and substance abuse and other policies in the Majesco employee
handbook and excessive absenteeism. Under the policy, the Executives will be entitled to receive severance of six months of their
base salary in addition to any applicable notice period, their annual bonus based on Majesco performance pro-rated to the
number of completed months worked in the period and six months of Company-paid COBRA premiums (or health insurance coverage
until the end of the fiscal year for India employees). Assuming a qualifying termination, with respect to Mr. Solanki, this would
result in an estimated severance amount equal to $271,493.16, comprised of $150,000 in base salary continuation, $112,500 in pro-rated
bonus, and $8,993.16 in coverage continuation. With respect to Mr. Sengupta, this would result in an estimated severance amount
equal to $231,493.20, comprised of $150,000 in base salary continuation, $75,000 in pro-rated bonus, and $6,493.20 in coverage
continuation. With respect to Mr. Ossie, this would result in an estimated severance amount equal to $264,700.86, comprised of
$170,000 in base salary continuation, $85,000 in pro-rated bonus, and $9,700.86 in coverage continuation. Mr. Ossie is additionally
entitled to continuation of life insurance coverage for six months, the value of which is currently uncertain. With respect to
Mr. Shah, this would result in an estimated severance amount equal to $275,800.86, comprised of $175,000 in base salary continuation,
$87,500 in pro-rated bonus, and $13,300.86 in coverage continuation. In addition, the Executives will have 90 days to exercise
their vested options. In order to receive these benefits, the Executives will be required to execute and not revoke a release
of claims against Majesco and agree to a one year non-compete and non-solicit covenant. The policy does not amend the
terms for the severance of Executives under their existing employment agreements.
Mr.
Kazani’s employment arrangements with Majesco Limited provide that, in the event of a change in management or restructuring
of Majesco Limited, or any other event which will result in the exit of Mr. Kazani, irrespective of such exit having been effectuated
by Majesco Limited or by Mr. Kazani’s resignation, Mr. Kazani shall be entitled to severance compensation equal to 12 months
of gross annual salary, resulting in an estimated severance amount of ₹32,682,372, equivalent to $437,859 based on the exchange
rate on August 11, 2020. Additionally, the compensation committee may in its sole discretion, cause any unvested equity awards
to become vested and exercisable in whole or in part in the event of a change in control.
Other
Arrangements
Each
employee of Majesco and its subsidiaries who continues to remain employed with Majesco or its subsidiaries following the Effective
Time may enter into new employment arrangements with Parent. To date, employees of Majesco and its subsidiaries have entered into
any such arrangements with Parent.
Change
of Control Bonus Agreements
Pursuant
to the bonus letter with Adam Elster, Majesco’s Chief Executive Officer, dated July 19, 2020 (the “Bonus Letter”)
Mr. Elster will be entitled to receive a $3.5 million retention bonus (the “Retention Bonus”) payable as follows:
$2.8 million upon consummation of the Merger and $700,000 (the “Remaining Payment”) one year following the consummation
of the Merger, in each case subject to Mr. Elster’s continuous employment through the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if prior to the payment of the Remaining Payment, but after the closing of the Merger, Mr. Elster’s employment
is terminated by Majesco without Cause or by Mr. Elster for Good Reason, as such terms are defined in the Elster Offer Letter,
he will be entitled to receive the Remaining Payment within 60 days of such termination. Furthermore, as consideration for receipt
of the Retention Bonus, Mr. Elster agreed, (a) subject to the occurrence of the closing of the Merger, to no longer be entitled
to receive any grants of Annual RSUs (as such term is defined in Elster Offer Letter) and no longer be entitled to receive any
grants of Annual RSUs for any period of time preceding the date of the Bonus Letter; (b) Good Reason shall not be triggered, and
Mr. Elster shall have no right to terminate his employment for Good Reason, as a result of the potential changes to his duties,
authority and responsibilities solely due to the Company no longer being publicly traded as a result of the consummation of the
Merger; and (c) to extend the post-employment-termination non-competition restriction period contained in the Elster Offer Letter
to run for a period of twelve months after termination of employment plus the number of full months (if positive) between Mr.
Elster’s termination date and the first anniversary of the consummation of the Merger.
Additionally, Mr. Kazani is entitled to
receive a “commendation payment” in the event of the divestment of Majesco Limited’s entire stake/investment
in Majesco to a third party, which shall be equal to 0.6% of the gross value realized by Majesco Limited in India from the Merger
for playing a pivotal role in effectuating the Divestment in his capacity as a key member
of the Majesco Limited management leadership team. Such commendation payment shall be payable by Majesco Limited following
Closing.
Mr. Earl Gallegos, Majesco’s Audit Committee Chairman,
also received $15,000 in the aggregate in committee fees for his additional work on the Negotiating Committee in connection with
the Merger.
Transition
Service Payments
Pursuant
to the Support Agreement, Majesco Limited has agreed to provide certain transition services to MSSIPL, a subsidiary of Majesco,
for the Initial Term. Specifically, Majesco Limited will provide, among other services, (i) the Personnel Services and (ii) at
cost, the Transition Services. Majesco (or MSSIPL, at Majesco’s election) will pay Majesco Limited $48,326 per month for
the Personnel Services. Majesco may, upon written notice to Majesco Limited, extend the Initial Term for two additional one month
periods. Furthermore, Majesco may terminate the provision of any Transition Service upon 15 days prior written notice to Majesco
Limited. Furthermore, pursuant to the Support Agreement, to the extent Majesco Limited owns any Intellectual Property (as defined
in the Support Agreement) related to the Company or its subsidiaries’ businesses, Majesco Limited shall assign and convey
to the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property. Effective as of the closing date of the Merger
and subject to certain exceptions, the parties to the Support Agreement agree to terminate all contracts between Majesco Limited,
on the one hand, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand.
Quantification
of Potential Payments to Company Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Merger
This
section sets forth the information required by Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K regarding the compensation for each of Majesco’s
named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger. This compensation is referred to as “golden
parachute compensation” by the applicable SEC disclosure rules. The amounts set forth in the table below are estimates based
on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur, including assumptions described in this consent solicitation statement
and in the footnotes to the table. As a result, the actual amounts, if any, that a named executive officer receives may materially
differ from the amounts set forth in the table.
The
table below assumes that: (i) the Effective Time of the Merger will occur on October 1, 2020; (ii) a price per share
of Majesco common stock of $16.00, which represents the average closing trading price of Majesco common stock over the first five
days following the public announcement of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement; (iii) the employment of the named executive
officers will be terminated immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger in a manner entitling the named executive officer
to receive the severance benefits described in the section of this consent solicitation statement captioned “The Merger—Interests
of Majesco’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Payments At Or Following Change Of Control;”
and (iv) no named executive officer becomes entitled to additional compensation or benefits or equity awards prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger. Pursuant to applicable proxy disclosure rules, the value of the equity award vesting acceleration
below is equal to the number of shares covered by the applicable Company Option or Company RSU that are accelerated multiplied
by the Per Share Merger Consideration (per share). The amounts shown on the table below do not include the value of payments or
benefits that would have been earned, or any amounts associated with equity awards that vest pursuant to their terms, on or prior
to the Effective Time of the Merger, or the value of payments or benefits that are not based on or otherwise related to the Merger.
In
the footnotes to the amounts shown in the table below, we refer to payments that are conditioned on the occurrence of both the
Merger, as well as the named executive officer’s qualifying termination of employment as being payable on a “double-trigger”
basis, and we refer to payments that are conditioned only upon the occurrence of the Merger as being payable on a “single-trigger”
basis. The individuals named below represent the executive officers for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.

With
respect to the Retention Bonus payable to Mr. Elster, the initial $2,800,000 portion of such payment is a single-trigger benefit.
The Remaining Payment portion of that Retention Bonus is a double-trigger benefit, dependent on both the consummation of the
Merger and Mr. Elster’s continued employment for one year following the consummation of the Merger (subject to acceleration
upon certain terminations of employment, as described above). The payment of the Company Option Cash Out Payment
to Mr. Solanki with respect to his unvested Company Options, as well as the accelerated vesting of his Majesco Limited RSU
awards, in connection with the Merger are also single-trigger benefits. The payment of the Company RSU Cash Out Payment to
Messrs. Elster and Miller with respect to their outstanding Company RSUs are also a single-trigger benefit. The salary continuation,
bonus payments, perquisites and benefits for Messrs. Elster, Miller and Solanki are considered double-trigger benefits, as
those payments are dependent upon both termination of employment and a change of control.

Insurance
and Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers
The
Merger Agreement provides that all existing rights to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses for acts or
omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time existing as of July 20, 2020 in favor of the current or former directors,
officers or employees of Majesco (in each case, as provided in the respective organizational documents of Majesco) or in any indemnification
agreement between Majesco and the current or former directors or officers of Majesco in effect on July 20, 2020, will survive
the Merger and will continue in full force and effect and may not be amended for a period of six years from the Effective Time
in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of such persons.
In
addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, during the six-year period commencing at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation
will (and Parent must cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
and Majesco’s and its subsidiaries’ organizational documents in effect as of July 20, 2020 each current or former
director and officer of Majesco and its subsidiaries from and against all costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’
fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities incurred in connection with, arising
out of, or otherwise related to, any legal proceeding, in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to matters existing
or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including
in connection with the Merger, and actions to enforce indemnification or advancement right of any indemnified person. Parent or
the Surviving Corporation will also advance reasonable documented out of pocket expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted
to do so under applicable law and Majesco’s and its subsidiaries’ organizational documents in effect as of July 20,
2020.
In
addition, without limiting the foregoing, Majesco will purchase a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time (which
Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase if the Company is unable prior to closing), for the extension of (i)
the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Majesco’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance
policies, and (ii) Majesco’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery
period of six years from and after the Effective Time. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation fail to obtain such “tail”
insurance policies, the Merger Agreement requires Parent to cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain, on terms no less advantageous
to the indemnified parties, the directors’ and officers’ insurance policies of Majesco for a period of at least six
years commencing at the Effective Time; provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to pay premiums
for such policy to the extent such premiums exceed, on an annual basis, 300% of the aggregate annual premiums currently paid by
Majesco, and if the premium for such insurance coverage would exceed such amount, Parent shall be obligated to cause the Surviving
Corporation to obtain the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to such amount.
Financing
of the Merger
We
anticipate that the total amount of funds necessary to complete the Merger and the related transactions, and to pay the fees
and expenses required to be paid at the closing of the Merger by Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, will be
approximately $742.4 million. This amount includes funds needed to: (1) pay the Majesco shareholders the amounts due under the
Merger Agreement, (2) make payments in respect of our outstanding equity-based awards payable at closing of the Merger
pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (3) pay all costs and expenses of the Merger.
Equity
Financing
Pursuant
to the Equity Commitment Letter, the Thoma Bravo Funds have agreed to provide Parent with an equity commitment of up to $728,738,475
which is the amount estimated sufficient to fund the aggregate purchase price required to be paid at the closing of the Merger,
including (i) the aggregate consideration to which the holders of Majesco common stock are entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
(ii) the Company RSU Cash Out Payment pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (iii) the Company Option Cash Out Payment pursuant
to the Merger Agreement. Majesco has a contractual right to enforce the foregoing Equity Commitment Letter against the Thoma Bravo
Funds, and under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Majesco has the right to specifically enforce Parent’s obligation to
consummate the Merger under certain circumstances.
The
Equity Commitment Letter provides, among other things, that Majesco is an express third party beneficiary thereof with respect
to enforcing Parent’s right to cause the equity commitment under the Equity Commitment Letter by the Thoma Bravo Funds to
be funded to Parent in order to consummate the Merger, if, and only if, the Company has received an order of specific performance
against Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement to cause the closing of the Merger to occur and to cause Parent to enforce its
rights against each of the Thoma Bravo Funds to perform such fund’s obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter. See
the section captioned “Proposal 1: Merger Proposal––Specific Performance” for more information. The Equity
Commitment Letter may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of Parent, the Thoma Bravo Funds
and Majesco.
Limited
Guaranty
Pursuant
to the Guaranty, the Thoma Bravo Funds have unconditionally guaranteed to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions thereof,
the due and punctual observance, performance and discharge of payment of:
|
●
|
the
aggregate amount of the Parent Termination Fee (as defined under the caption “The
Merger—Termination Fee”) solely if and when any of the Parent Termination
Fee is payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement;
|
|
●
|
the
Company’s enforcement costs if Parent fails to promptly pay the Parent Termination
Fee when due and the Company commences a suit that results in a judgement against Parent
(not to exceed $1,000,000); and
|
|
●
|
the
expense reimbursement obligations of Parent related to the Company’s cooperation
with Parent’s debt financing as required under the Merger Agreement. We refer to
the obligations set forth in the preceding sentence as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”
The obligations of the Thoma Bravo Funds under the Guaranty are subject to a cap equal
to $52,011,693.24.
|
Subject
to specified exceptions, the Guaranty will terminate upon the earliest of:
|
●
|
funding
of the commitment under the Equity Commitment Letter;
|
|
●
|
(1)
the payment and full discharge of any expense reimbursement obligations related to Parent’s
debt financing for which Majesco has requested reimbursement within 90 days following
the valid termination of the Merger Agreement and (2) the termination of the Merger Agreement
in accordance with its terms, other than a termination pursuant to which Majesco would
be entitled to a Parent Termination Fee under the Merger Agreement, in which case the
Guaranty shall terminate 90 days after such termination unless Majesco shall have delivered
a written notice with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations prior to such 90th day; provided
that if the Merger Agreement has been so terminated and such notice has been provided,
the Thoma Bravo Funds, as the guarantors under the Guaranty, shall have no further liability
or obligation under the Guaranty from and after the earliest of:
|
|
o
|
the
closing of the Merger, including payment of the aggregate merger consideration payable
at the closing in accordance with the Merger Agreement;
|
|
o
|
a
final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction determining that the
Thoma Bravo Funds, as the guarantors under the Guaranty, do not owe any amount under
the Guaranty;
|
|
o
|
a
written agreement among the Thoma Bravo Funds, as the guarantors under the Guaranty,
and Majesco terminating the obligations and liabilities of the Thoma Bravo Funds, as
the guarantors under the Guaranty, pursuant to the Guaranty;
|
|
o
|
payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Thoma Bravo Funds, as the guarantors under the Guaranty,
Parent and/or Merger Sub to Majesco.

Dissenters’
Rights of Majesco Shareholders
Any
Majesco shareholder wishing to exercise dissenters’ rights is urged to consult legal counsel before attempting to exercise dissenters’
rights. Failure to comply strictly with all of the procedures set forth in Chapter 13 of the CGCL, which consists of Sections 1300-1313,
may result in the loss of a shareholder’s statutory dissenters’ rights. In such case, such shareholder will be entitled to receive
the Per Share Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.
The
following discussion is a summary of Sections 1300-1313 of the CGCL, which sets forth the procedures for Majesco shareholders
to dissent from the proposed Merger and to demand statutory dissenters’ rights of appraisal of their shares under the CGCL. The
following discussion is not a complete statement of the provisions of the CGCL relating to the rights of Majesco shareholders
to receive payment of the fair market value of their shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
Sections 1300-1313 of the CGCL, which are provided in their entirety as Appendix C to this consent solicitation
statement.
All
references in Sections 1300-1313 of the CGCL and in this section to a “shareholder” are to the holder of record
of the shares of Majesco common stock as to which dissenters’ rights are asserted. A person having a beneficial interest in the
shares of Majesco common stock held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker or nominee, cannot enforce dissenters’
rights directly and must act promptly to cause the holder of record to follow the steps summarized below properly and in a timely
manner to perfect such person’s dissenters’ rights.
Chapter 13
of the CGCL provides Majesco shareholders who do not “CONSENT TO” the Merger Proposal with the right, subject to compliance
with the requirements summarized below, to dissent and demand the payment of, and be paid in cash, the fair market value of the
Majesco shares owned by such shareholders as of the Record Date. In accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL, the fair market
value of Majesco shares will be their fair market value determined as of July 17, 2020, the last trading day before the first public
announcement of the terms of the Merger, exclusive of any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares in consequence
of the Merger.
Even
though a shareholder who wishes to exercise dissenters’ rights may be required to take certain actions following receipt of this
consent solicitation statement to perfect their dissenters’ rights, if the Merger Agreement is later terminated and the Merger
is abandoned, no Majesco shareholder will have the right to any payment from Majesco, other than necessary expenses incurred in
proceedings initiated in good faith and reasonable attorneys’ fees, by reason of having taken that action. The following discussion
is subject to the foregoing qualifications.
Not
“Consent To” the Merger
Any
Majesco shareholder who desires to exercise dissenters’ rights must not “CONSENT TO” the Merger Proposal. If a Majesco
shareholder returns a signed written consent without indicating a decision regarding the Merger Proposal, or returns a signed
written consent approving the Merger Proposal, his, her or its shares will be counted as consents in favor of the Merger Proposal
and such shareholder will lose any dissenters’ rights. Thus, if you wish to dissent and you execute and return your written consent
in the accompanying form, you must specify that you disapprove of the Merger Proposal and that you withhold your consent with
respect to the Merger Proposal.
Notice
of Approval by Majesco
If
the Merger is approved by the Majesco shareholders, Majesco is required within ten days after the approval to send to those Majesco
shareholders who did not “CONSENT TO” the approval of the Merger a written notice of the Majesco shareholder approval,
accompanied by a copy of Sections 1300, 1301, 1302, 1303 and 1304 of the CGCL, a statement of the price determined by Majesco
to represent the fair market value of the dissenting shares as of July 17, 2020, and a brief description of the procedure to be
followed if the shareholder desires to exercise dissenters’ right under the CGCL. The statement of price determined by Majesco
to represent the fair market value of dissenting shares, as set forth in the notice of approval, will constitute an offer by Majesco
to purchase the dissenting shares at the stated price if the Merger is completed and the dissenting shares do not otherwise lose
their status as such. Within 30 days after the date of the mailing of the notice of shareholder approval, a dissenting shareholder
must submit to Majesco or its transfer agent for endorsement as dissenting shares, the stock certificates representing the Majesco
shares as to which such shareholder is exercising dissenter’s rights. If the dissenting shares are uncertificated, then such shareholder
must provide written notice of the number of shares which the shareholder demands that Majesco purchase within 30 days after
the date of the mailing of the notice of shareholder approval.
Written
Demand for Payment
In
addition, to preserve dissenters’ rights, a Majesco shareholder must make a written demand for the purchase of the shareholder’s
dissenting shares and payment to the shareholder of their fair market value within 30 days after the date on which the notice
of shareholder approval is mailed. Simply failing to return a written consent, or indicating on your written consent your disapproval
of the Merger does not constitute a proper written demand under the CGCL. To comply with the requirements under the CGCL, the
written demand must:
|
●
|
specify
the shareholder’s name and mailing address and the number and class of shares of Majesco
stock held of record which the shareholder demands that Majesco purchase;
|
|
●
|
state
that the shareholder is demanding purchase of the shares and payment of their fair market
value; and
|
|
●
|
state
the price which the shareholder claims to be the fair market value of the shares as of
July 17, 2020. The statement of fair market value constitutes an offer by the shareholder
to sell the shares to Majesco at that price.
|
Any
written demands for payment should be sent to Majesco, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 412 Mount Kemble Avenue, Suite 110C, Morristown,
NJ 07960. Shares of Majesco stock held by shareholders who have perfected their dissenters’ rights in accordance with Chapter 13
of the CGCL and have not withdrawn their demands or otherwise lost their dissenters’ rights are referred to in this summary as
dissenting shares.
Payment
of Agreed Upon Price
If
Majesco and a dissenting shareholder agree that the shares are dissenting shares and agree on the price of the shares, the dissenting
shareholder is entitled to receive the agreed upon price with interest at the legal rate on judgments from the date of that agreement.
Payment for the dissenting shares must be made within 30 days after the later of the date of that agreement or the date on
which all statutory and contractual conditions to the Merger are satisfied. Payments are also conditioned on the surrender of
the certificates representing the dissenting shares.
Determination
of Dissenting Shares or Fair Market Value
If
Majesco denies that shares are dissenting shares or the shareholder fails to agree with Majesco as to the fair market value of
the shares, then, within six months after notice of approval of the Merger is sent by Majesco to its shareholders, any shareholder
demanding purchase of such shares as dissenting shares or any interested corporation may file a complaint in the Superior
Court in the proper California county asking the court to determine whether the shares are dissenting shares or to determine the
fair market value of the shareholder’s shares, or both, or may intervene in any action pending on such complaint. If a complaint
is not filed or intervention in a pending action is not made within the specified six month period, the dissenter’s rights are
lost. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is at issue, the court will determine, or will appoint one or more impartial
appraisers to determine, such fair market value.
Maintenance
of Dissenting Share Status
Except
as expressly limited by Chapter 13 of the CGCL, holders of dissenting shares continue to have all the rights and privileges
incident to their shares until the fair market value of their shares is agreed upon or determined. A holder of dissenting shares
may not withdraw a demand for payment unless Majesco consents to the withdrawal.
Dissenting
shares lose their status as dissenting shares, and dissenting shareholders cease to be entitled to require Majesco to purchase
their shares, upon any of the following:
|
●
|
the
Merger is abandoned;
|
|
●
|
the
shares are transferred before their submission to Majesco for the required endorsement;
|
|
●
|
the
dissenting shareholder and Majesco do not agree on the status of the shares as dissenting
shares or do not agree on the purchase price, but neither Majesco nor the shareholder
files a complaint or intervenes in a pending action within six months after Majesco
mails a notice that its shareholders have approved the Merger; or
|
|
●
|
with
Majesco’s consent, the dissenting shareholder withdraws the shareholder’s demand for
purchase of the dissenting shares.
|
To
the extent that the provisions of Chapter 5 of the CGCL (which place conditions on the power of a California corporation
to make distributions to its shareholders) prevent the payment to any holders of dissenting shares of the fair market value of
the dissenting shares, the dissenting shareholders will become creditors of Majesco for the amount that they otherwise would have
received in the repurchase of their dissenting shares, plus interest at the legal rate on judgments until the date of payment,
but subordinate to all other creditors of Majesco in any liquidation proceeding, with the debt to be payable when permissible
under the provisions of Chapter 5 of the CGCL.
Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger
The
following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger that may be relevant to U.S.
Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) of shares of Majesco common stock whose shares are converted into
the right to receive cash pursuant to the Merger. This summary is general in nature and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal
income taxation that may be relevant to a Majesco shareholder in light of its particular circumstances. In addition, this summary
does not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction and does
not consider any aspects of U.S. federal tax law other than income taxation. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, court decisions, published
positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date
of this consent solicitation statement and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations at any time, possibly
with retroactive effect. This discussion is limited to Majesco shareholders who hold their shares of Majesco common stock as “capital
assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes).
This
discussion is for general information only and does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to Majesco shareholders
in light of their particular circumstances. For example, this discussion does not address:
|
●
|
tax
consequences that may be relevant to Majesco shareholders who may be subject to special
treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as banks or other financial institutions; tax-exempt organizations;
retirement or other tax deferred accounts; insurance companies; mutual funds; governmental
organizations; dealers in stocks and securities; traders in securities that elect to
use the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities; regulated
investment companies; real estate investment trusts; controlled foreign corporations;
passive foreign investment companies; corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid
U.S. federal income tax; entities subject to the U.S. anti-inversion rules; certain U.S.
expatriates or former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; or, except
as noted below, holders that own or have owned (directly, indirectly or constructively)
five percent or more of Majesco common stock (by vote or value);
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to Majesco shareholders holding their shares of Majesco common stock as
part of a hedging, constructive sale or conversion, straddle or other risk reduction
transaction;
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to Majesco shareholders whose shares of Majesco common stock constitute
qualified small business stock within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code;
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to Majesco shareholders that received their shares of Majesco common stock
in a compensatory transaction, through a tax qualified retirement plan or pursuant to
the exercise of options, RSUs or warrants;
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to Majesco shareholders who own an equity interest in Parent following the
Merger;
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to U.S. Holders whose “functional currency” is not the U.S.
dollar;
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to Majesco shareholders who hold their Majesco common stock through a bank,
financial institution or other entity, or a branch thereof, located, organized or resident
outside the United States;
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to Majesco shareholders subject to special tax accounting rules as a result
of any item of gross income with respect to the shares of Majesco common stock being
taken into account in an “applicable financial statement” (as defined in
Section 451(b) of the Code);
|
|
●
|
the
U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences, if any, as a result
of the Merger;
|
|
●
|
any
state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences as a result of the Merger; or
|
|
●
|
tax
consequences to Majesco shareholders that do not consent in favor of the Merger and that
properly demand appraisal of their shares under Chapter 13 of the CGCL of the Code or
that entered into a support agreement as part of the Merger and other transactions
described in this consent solicitation statement.
|
If
a partnership (including an entity or arrangement, domestic or non-U.S., treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of shares of Majesco common stock, then the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership
will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. Partnerships holding
shares of Majesco common stock and partners therein should consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences of the Merger.
We
have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached
in the following summary, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the views expressed herein, or that a court
will not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation.
THE
FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND ADVICE. WE URGE
YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER IN LIGHT
OF YOUR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING FEDERAL ESTATE, GIFT AND OTHER NON-INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES, AND TAX
CONSEQUENCES UNDER STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
U.S.
Holders
For
purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of Majesco common stock that is for U.S.
federal income tax purposes:
|
●
|
an
individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
|
|
●
|
a
corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under
the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
|
|
●
|
an
estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of
its source; or
|
|
●
|
a
trust (1) that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United
States and the control of one or more United States persons as defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code; or (2) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury
Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
|
The
receipt of cash by a U.S. Holder in exchange for shares of Majesco common stock pursuant to the Merger will be a taxable transaction
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, such U.S. Holder’s gain or loss will be equal to the difference, if any,
between the amount of cash received and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Majesco common stock surrendered
pursuant to the Merger. Gain or loss must be determined separately for each block of shares (that is, shares of Majesco common
stock acquired at the same cost in a single transaction). A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis generally will equal the amount
that such U.S. Holder paid for the shares of Majesco common stock. A U.S. Holder’s gain or loss on the disposition of shares
of Majesco common stock will generally be characterized as capital gain or loss. Any such gain or loss will be long-term capital
gain or loss if such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such shares is more than one year at the time of the completion of
the Merger. A reduced tax rate on capital gain generally will apply to long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S.
Holder (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
A
surtax of up to 3.8% applies to so-called “net investment income” of certain U.S. citizens and residents,
and to undistributed “net investment income” of certain estates and trusts. Net investment income generally includes
any gain recognized on the receipt of cash in exchange for shares of common stock pursuant to the Merger. U.S. Holders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the applicability of this tax to any gain recognized pursuant to the Merger.
Non-U.S. Holders
The
following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply to you if you are
a Non-U.S. Holder. The term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Majesco common stock
that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, not a U.S. Holder.
Special
rules, not discussed herein, may apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders, such as:
|
●
|
certain
U.S. expatriates or former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
|
|
●
|
controlled
foreign corporations;
|
|
●
|
passive
foreign investment companies;
|
|
●
|
corporations
that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; and
|
|
●
|
pass-through
entities, or investors in such entities.
|
Any
gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder pursuant to the Merger generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:
|
●
|
the
gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of such Non-U.S. Holder
in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable
to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder
in the United States), in which case such gain generally will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax at rates generally applicable to U.S. persons, and, if the Non-U.S. Holder
is a corporation, such gain may also be subject to the branch profits tax at a rate of
30% (or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty);
|
|
●
|
such Non-U.S. Holder
is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable
year of disposition of shares of Majesco common stock pursuant to the Merger, and certain
other specified conditions are met, in which case such gain will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax at a flat rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty),
which gain may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of such Non-U.S. Holder,
provided that the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax
returns with respect to such losses; or
|
|
●
|
Majesco
is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” as such
term is defined in Section 897(c) of the Code (“USRPHC”), at any time
within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the Merger or such Non-U.S. Holder’s
holding period with respect to the applicable shares of Majesco common stock (the “Relevant
Period”) and, if shares of Majesco common stock are regularly traded on an established
securities market (within the meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the Code), such Non-U.S. Holder
owns directly or is deemed to own pursuant to attribution rules more than 5% of Majesco
common stock at any time during the Relevant Period, in which case such Non-U.S. Holder’s
proceeds received on the disposition of shares will generally be subject to withholding
at a rate of 15% and such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at rates generally
applicable to U.S. persons (as described in the first bullet point above), except that
the branch profits tax will not apply. Although there can be no assurances in this regard,
we believe that we are not, and have not been, a USRPHC at any time during the five-year
period preceding the Merger.
|
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information
reporting and backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 24%) may apply to the proceeds received by a Majesco shareholder pursuant
to the Merger. Backup withholding generally will not apply to (1) a U.S. Holder that furnishes a correct taxpayer identification
number and certifies that such holder is not subject to backup withholding on IRS Form W-9 (or a substitute or successor
form) or (2) a Non-U.S. Holder that (i) provides a certification of such holder’s foreign status on
the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8 (or a substitute or successor form) or (ii) otherwise establishes an exemption
from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules
will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required
information is timely furnished to the IRS.
The
foregoing summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders of Majesco
common stock. Majesco shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences to them of exchanging
their Majesco common stock for cash pursuant to the Merger under any federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.
Withholding
on Foreign Entities
Generally
sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (“FATCA”), impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on certain payments
made to a “foreign financial institution” (as specially defined under those rules) unless such institution enters
into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities
substantial information regarding certain U.S. account holders of such institution. Although the Code provides that FATCA withholding
generally also will apply to payments of gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of stock, in 2018 the U.S. Treasury Department
released proposed regulations on which taxpayers may generally rely that eliminate the federal withholding tax applicable to such
gross proceeds.
Prospective
investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on the disposition
of Majesco common stock pursuant to the Merger.
Regulatory
Approvals Required for the Merger
General
Majesco
and Parent have agreed to take all action necessary to comply with all regulatory notification requirements, and, subject to certain
limitations, to obtain all regulatory approvals required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement. These regulatory requirements include those under the HSR Act, approval by the Reserve Bank of India and receipt
of a No Objection Certificate from the Indian tax authorities.
HSR
Act and U.S. Antitrust Matters
Under
the HSR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, certain acquisitions may not be completed until information has been furnished
to the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”),
and the applicable HSR Act waiting period has expired or been terminated. The waiting period under the HSR Act is 30 calendar
days, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier or extended by a request for additional information and documentary material.
The Merger is subject to the provisions of the HSR Act and therefore cannot be completed until each of Majesco and Parent file
a notification and report form with the FTC and the DOJ under the HSR Act and the applicable waiting period has expired or been
terminated. Majesco and Thoma Bravo made the necessary filings with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ on July 31,
2020.
On
August 12, 2020 the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger. With early
termination granted under the HSR Act, the transaction has now received all applicable antitrust regulatory approvals. No additional
antitrust approvals are required.
At
any time before or after consummation of the Merger, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the waiting period under
the HSR Act, the FTC or the DOJ could take such action under antitrust laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public
interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Merger, seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the parties,
or requiring the parties to license or hold separate assets or terminate existing relationships and contractual rights. At any
time before or after the completion of the Merger, any state or foreign jurisdiction could take such action under the antitrust
laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest. Such action could include seeking to enjoin the completion of
the Merger or seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the parties. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under
the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. We cannot be certain that a challenge to the Merger will not be made or that,
if a challenge is made, we will prevail.
RBI
Approval
Under Indian foreign
exchange laws, the Reserve Bank of India has powers to regulate, prohibit, restrict or regulate the transfer or issuance of any
foreign security by a person resident in India. With respect to direct investments by Indian parties outside of India, an Indian
entity can transfer the shares of its offshore subsidiary by way of sale to any person resident outside India without the consent
of the Reserve Bank of India if certain conditions are satisfied, including a sale of the shares through a stock exchange where
the shares of the overseas subsidiary are listed. As the Divestment of Majesco Limited’s shares in Majesco involves a transfer
to a foreign investor pursuant to a merger and not through a sale on the stock exchange where its shares are listed, the consent
of the Reserve Bank of India is required to be obtained as a condition to the Divestment. Majesco Limited filed the application
for consent with the Reserve Bank of India on July 31, 2020, and also filed a supplemental letter dated as of August 10, 2020.
While there is no fixed time within which the Reserve Bank of India is expected to process the application, the Reserve Bank of
India typically takes two to three months from the date of application to communicate its decision on the application. There can
be no assurances, however, that the Reserve Bank of India will approve the Divestment on such timeline or at all.
No
Objection Certificate
Under Indian
tax laws, permission is required from the Indian tax authorities prior to transfer of certain assets, including shares in
other companies, if there are any pending proceedings against the transferring entity. Pursuant to such requirement, Majesco
filed an application to obtain a No Objection Certificate from the Indian tax authorities on July 21, 2020, prior to signing
the Merger Agreement. Majesco Limited also filed a supplemental letter dated as of August 10, 2020 with the Indian tax
authorities. Majesco Limited obtained a No Objection Certificate dated August 10, 2020 from the Indian tax authorities. This
No Objection Certificate is valid for a period of six months from August 10, 2020.
Other
Regulatory Approvals
One
or more governmental agencies may impose a condition, restriction, qualification, requirement or limitation when it grants the
necessary approvals and consents. Third parties may also seek to intervene in the regulatory process or litigate to enjoin or
overturn regulatory approvals, any of which actions could significantly impede or even preclude obtaining required regulatory
approvals. There is currently no way to predict how long it will take to obtain all of the required regulatory approvals or whether
such approvals will ultimately be obtained and there may be a substantial period of time between the approval by shareholders
and the completion of the Merger.
Although
we expect that all required regulatory clearances and approvals will be obtained, we cannot assure you that these regulatory clearances
and approvals will be timely obtained, obtained at all or that the granting of these regulatory clearances and approvals will
not involve the imposition of additional conditions on the completion of the Merger, including the requirement to divest assets,
or require changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement. These conditions or changes could result in the conditions to the Merger
not being satisfied.
Litigation Relating to the Merger
On August 17,
2020, a lawsuit captioned Stein v. Majesco, Civil Action No. 2:20-cv-10634, was filed in the United States District Court,
District of New Jersey, against Majesco and the members of Majesco’s board of directors. The lawsuit asserts, among other
things, violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the consent solicitation statement filed by
Majesco with the SEC on August 14, 2020. Each of the defendants believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend
it vigorously.

Article
IV
Delivery of Merger Consideration; Procedures for Surrender
4.1 Paying
Agent. At the Effective Time, or as promptly as possible thereafter, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a paying
agent selected by the Company and approved by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (the
“Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Eligible Shares, an aggregate amount of cash necessary
for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 3.1 (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange
Fund”). The paying agent agreement pursuant to which the Company shall appoint the Paying Agent shall be in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for
any purpose other than a purpose expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund may be invested by the Paying Agent
as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any such investment shall in all events be limited
to (i) direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the United
States government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s
Corporation, respectively, (ii) certificates of deposit or bank repurchase agreements of commercial banks with capital exceeding
$5 billion or (iii) AAA rated 2A-7 fixed NAV money market funds (or those of similar quality), or a combination of the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. To the
extent that there are losses with respect to such deposits, a default of an applicable bank or for any other reason any amount
in the Exchange Fund is below that required to make prompt payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration and the other payments
contemplated by this Article IV, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly replace or restore,
or cause the replacement or restoration, of the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to
ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make the payment of the
aggregate Merger Consideration contemplated by this Article IV. Any interest and other income resulting from such
deposit may become part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 3.1
may, at the discretion of Parent, be promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Corporation.
4.2 Procedures
for Surrender.
(a) With
respect to Certificates, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business
Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to provide or make available to each holder of record
of each such Certificate (i) notice advising such holders of the effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) a letter of transmittal in customary
form and reasonably approved by the Company, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to
a Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section
4.5) to the Paying Agent (the “Letter of Transmittal”), and (iii) instructions for surrendering
a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 4.5) to the Paying Agent (including
instructions with respect to the delivery to the Paying Agent of IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8, as applicable). Upon surrender to
the Paying Agent of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 4.5) together
with a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required pursuant to such
instructions, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to promptly (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days
thereafter) provide or make available to each holder of record of any such Certificate in exchange therefore a check in the amount
(after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.6) of (A) the number of Eligible Shares
represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 4.5) multiplied
by (B) the Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
(b) With
respect to each Book-Entry Share not held through DTC (each, a “Non-DTC Book-Entry Share”), promptly
after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the
Paying Agent to provide or make available to each holder of record of a Non-DTC Book-Entry Share (i) a notice advising such holders
of the effectiveness of the Merger and (ii) a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided
in Section 4.6) of (A) the number of Non-DTC Book-Entry Shares held by such holder multiplied by (B) the Merger
Consideration, and the Non-DTC Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
(c) With
respect to Book-Entry Shares held through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent
and DTC to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees on the Closing Date (or if Closing occurs after 10:30
a.m. EST on the Closing Date, on the first Business Day after the Closing Date), upon surrender of Eligible Shares held of record
by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures, the Merger Consideration for each such Eligible
Share that each such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article IV.
(d) No
interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable for Eligible Shares pursuant to this Article IV.
4.3 Transfers.
(a) From
and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of the Company’s
capital stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of
Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of the Company’s capital stock
except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving
Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.
(b) With
respect to Certificates, in the event of a transfer of ownership of any Certificate that is not registered in the transfer books
of the Company as of the Effective Time, a check for the cash (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided
in Section 4.6) to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate, may be issued or paid to such a transferee if the
Certificate is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to
evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable, in each case, in form and substance, reasonably
satisfactory to the Paying Agent. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.3, each Certificate shall be
deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to
this Article IV.
(c) With
respect to Book-Entry Shares, payment of the Merger Consideration, payable pursuant to this Article IV, shall only
be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered in the stock transfer books of the Company as of the
Effective Time.
4.4 Termination
of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any deposit of the Exchange Fund) that remains
unclaimed by the holders of the Eligible Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent. Any holder of Eligible
Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving
Corporation for delivery of the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article IV.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other
Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of the Company’s capital stock for any amount properly delivered to
a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed
by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to,
or become property of, any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving
Corporation or an Affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person
previously entitled thereto.
4.5 Lost,
Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making
of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person
of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will, subject to Section 4.7 in respect of any Certificate representing
Excluded Shares, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to
this Article IV, had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.
4.6 Withholding.
Each of Parent, the Paying Agent and the Surviving Corporation (and each of their Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect
to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law. To the extent that amounts are
so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in
respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Assuming the Company delivers the FIRPTA Certificate in accordance with
Section 7.21, the Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof no withholding is expected to apply to any portion of
the Merger Consideration to be paid to the Principal Stockholder.
4.7 Dissenting
Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded that the Company purchase
such shares for their fair market value in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Chapter 13 of the CCC (such
shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration
and will instead represent only a right to the payment amount as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares
pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CCC (subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax). If any such holder withdraws such holder’s
demand for purchase of such Dissenting Shares for fair market value pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CCC or becomes ineligible for
such payment, then the right of such holder to receive such payment in respect of such Dissenting Shares shall cease, and such
Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and will be exchangeable solely for the
right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax. The Company
will give Parent prompt notice of any written demands received by the Company for the purchase of shares of Company Common Stock
pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CCC, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the CCC and
received by the Company relating to demands to be paid the fair market value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent will have the right
to direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent
of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands,
or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

5.5 Company
Reports; Financial Statements; Internal Controls.
(a) The
Company has filed or furnished, as applicable, on a timely basis, all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents
required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since March 31, 2018 (the
“Applicable Date”) (the forms, statements, reports and documents filed or furnished to the SEC and those
filed or furnished to the SEC subsequent to July 20, 2020, including any amendments thereto, the “Company Reports”).
Each of the Company Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished (or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment), complied,
or if not yet filed or furnished, will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As of their respective dates (or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment), the
Company Reports did not, and any Company Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC subsequent to July 20, 2020 will not, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Each required form, report and
document containing financial statements that has been filed with or submitted to the SEC by the Company since the Applicable Date
was accompanied by the certifications required to be filed or submitted by the Company’s principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as required, pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, at the time of filing or submission of each such
certification (or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment), such certification was true and accurate and complied with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. None of the Company, any current executive officer of the Company or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any
former executive officer of the Company has received written notice from any Governmental Entity challenging or questioning the
accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing of such certifications made with respect to the Company Reports filed prior to
July 20, 2020. No Subsidiary of the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act.
(b) The
Company has made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of all comment letters received by the Company from the
SEC since the Applicable Date relating to the Company Reports, together with all written responses of the Company thereto. There
are no outstanding or unresolved comments in any comment letters received by the Company from the SEC relating to the Company Reports
and the Company has not received any notice from the SEC that any of the Company Reports is the subject of any ongoing review,
outstanding comment or outstanding investigation by the SEC.
(c) The
Company has established and maintains, and has at all times since March 31, 2018 maintained, disclosure controls and procedures
required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure
that all (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis
to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents
and (ii) such material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. The Company has established and maintains, and has at all times since January 1, 2018 maintained, internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange Act) that is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with GAAP. The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2019, and such assessment concluded that such system was effective. Since January 1, 2018, the principal executive officer
and principal financial officer of the Company have made all certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (including Section
302 and 906 thereof). Neither the Company nor its principal executive officer or principal financial officer has received notice
from any Governmental Entity challenging or questioning the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing of such certifications.
The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) is sufficient to provide reasonable assurance (i) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, (ii) that receipts and expenditures are executed in accordance with the authorization
of Company management, and (iii) that any unauthorized use, acquisition or disposition of the Company’s assets that would
materially affect the Company’s financial statements would be detected or prevented in a timely manner.
(d) Each
of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including the related notes
and schedules) fairly presents, or, in the case of Company Reports filed after July 20, 2020, will fairly present the consolidated
financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated statements of operations,
comprehensive income, equity and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including any related
notes and schedules) fairly presents, or in the case of Company Reports filed after July 20, 2020, will fairly present the results
of operations, retained earnings (loss) and changes in financial position, as applicable, of such companies for the periods set
forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not individually
or in the aggregate be material in amount or effect to the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), in each case in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein or in the notes thereto. Since March
31, 2017, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or, to the Knowledge of the Company, the Company’s independent registered
accountant has identified or been made aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation
of internal control over financial reporting utilized by the Company, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves the
management or other employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who have a significant role in the Company’s preparation
of financial statements or internal control over financial reporting, or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.
(e) The
Company, based on its most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, has not identified or been advised in
writing by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm of (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses
in the design or operation of its internal controls over financial presorting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material,
that involves management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Since the Applicable Date, no material complaints, allegations, assertions or claims from any
source regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, or regarding questionable accounting or auditing
matters, have been received by the Company or, to the Knowledge of the Company, the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm that remain unresolved.
(f) Section
5.5(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a true, correct and complete list of all Indebtedness of the Company as
of July 20, 2020, other than Indebtedness included with specificity in the Company Reports.
5.6 Absence
of Certain Changes. Since March 31, 2020 through July 20, 2020, the Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective
businesses only in, and have not engaged in any material transaction other than in, the Ordinary Course, and there has not been
any Effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, since March 31, 2020 through July 20, 2020, the Company has not taken any actions
which, had such actions been taken after July 20, 2020, would have required the prior written consent of Parent pursuant to Section
7.1(b).
5.7 Litigation
and Liabilities.
(a) There
are no, and for past three (3) years have been no, Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any present or former officer, director or employee, in their capacities as such, of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No examination of the Company by any Governmental Entity has resulted in materially negative outstanding

or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent to consummate
the Transactions.
(b) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub do not, and the consummation of the Transactions

6.6 Brokers
and Finders. Neither Parent nor any of its Representatives has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for
any brokerage fees, commissions or finders, fees in connection with the Transactions.
6.7 Financing.
(a) Parent
has delivered to the Company a true, complete and correct copy of an executed commitment letter dated as of July 20, 2020 ( as
amended by that certain Amendment to Equity Commitment Letter, dated as of the date hereof, the “Equity Commitment
Letter”) from the Equity Financing Source, pursuant to which the Equity Financing Source has committed to (i) provide,
subject only to the terms and conditions set forth therein, equity financing for the Transactions in the aggregate amount set forth
therein (the “Financing”) and (ii) guaranty, subject to the terms and conditions therein, certain of
Parent’s obligations hereunder. The Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is a third-party beneficiary thereof.
The Equity Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered to the Company, is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Parent and the Equity Financing Source, fully and specifically enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance
with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.
(b) [Reserved]
(c) As
of the date of this Agreement, the commitment set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect, such commitment
has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no such amendment or modification is contemplated or pending
that would not be permitted by Section 7.13. Other than the Equity Commitment Letter, as of the date of this Agreement
there are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements to which Parent is a party relating to the funding or investing, as
applicable, of the Financing that could affect the availability of the Financing or any portion thereof on the Closing Date. As
of the date of this Agreement, Parent has paid in full any and all commitment or other fees required by the Equity Commitment Letter
that are due and payable as of the date of this Agreement. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in breach of any of the terms or conditions
set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter and, as of the date of this Agreement, to the Knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred
which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach, default or failure to
satisfy any condition precedent set forth therein. As of the date of this Agreement, the Equity Financing Source has not notified
Parent of its intention to terminate any commitment set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter or not to provide the Financing.
There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing (including
any “flex” provisions), other than as expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter as disclosed to the Company
prior to the date hereof. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on
a timely basis any conditions to the funding of the full amount of the Financing to be satisfied by it, or that the Financing will
not be available to Parent on the Closing Date. Parent acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to consummate the Transactions,
is not and will not be subject to the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any financing or the consummation of any other transaction.
(d) The
aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter are sufficient (after deducting applicable fees, expenses, original
issue discount and similar premiums and charges) to enable Parent to (i) consummate the Transactions upon the terms contemplated
by this Agreement, (ii) pay all of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of all Eligible Shares in the Merger pursuant to
this Agreement, (iii) pay all other amounts payable pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, (iv) pay all Indebtedness, liabilities
and other obligations of the Company contemplated to be funded by Parent under by this Agreement, and (v) pay all related fees
and expenses associated with the Transactions or the Equity Commitment Letter incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation
or any of their respective Affiliates and required to be paid at the Closing by such party.
(e) None
of the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Source, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract
with any Person prohibiting or seeking to prohibit such Person from providing or seeking to provide debt financing to any Person
in connection with a transaction relating to the acquisition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
6.8 Solvency.
None of Parent, Merger Sub, any Guarantor or the Equity Financing Source is entering into this Agreement with the intent to hinder,
delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Assuming (a) the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 (in each case, other than those conditions
that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing),
(b) that the representations and warranties set forth in Article V as written are true and correct as of July 20,
2020 and at and immediately after the Closing and (c) the estimates, projections or forecasts provided by or on behalf of the Company
or its Subsidiaries to Parent or Merger Sub prior to July 20, 2020 (as may have been updated in writing prior to July 20, 2020)
have been prepared in good faith on assumptions that were, and continue to be, reasonable, at and immediately after the Closing
(it being understood that Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) shall not affect
the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections or forecasts), then, after giving effect to the consummation
of the Transactions (including the Financing being entered into in connection therewith), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries
would be Solvent.
6.9 Consent
Solicitation Statement. To the Knowledge of the Parent, none of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent or Merger
Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Consent Solicitation Statement to be filed in connection with the Merger
and Transactions, or any amendment or supplement thereto, will at the time of the mailing of the Consent Solicitation Statement
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading.
6.10 Limited
Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Guarantors have duly executed and delivered the Limited Guaranty
to the Company. As of the date hereof, the Limited Guaranty is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of each Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, and has not been amended,
withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time
or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of any Guarantor under the Limited Guaranty.

and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge (each for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and Representatives) that Parent, Merger Sub
and their respective Affiliates and Representatives (i) have received access to (A) such books and records, facilities, equipment,

7.2 No
Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals; Change in Recommendation.

Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and
cause to be terminated any discussion or negotiations with any third party that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal,

furnished to any such Person with whom a confidentiality agreement was entered into at any time within the twelve (12) month period
immediately preceding July 20, 2020 with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.
(i) Except
as expressly permitted by this Section 7.2, at all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article
IX and the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the directors and officers set forth
in Section 7.2(a)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to
cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives not to (A) initiate, solicit, facilitate, propose, knowingly encourage
or knowingly take any action to facilitate (including by way of furnishing information or providing access to the businesses, properties,
books, records or personnel, of the Company and its Subsidiaries) any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes,
or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions
with or negotiations relating to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to

information to any Person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected
to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (D) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal; (E)
terminate, amend, release, modify or fail to enforce any provision of, or grant any permission, waiver or request under, any standstill,
confidentiality or similar agreement entered not by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of or in contemplation of
an Acquisition Proposal (other than to the extent the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the information then available
and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that failure to take any such actions under clause
(C) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law), (F) take any action
to make the provision of any takeover statue inapplicable to any transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal, or (G) resolve
or agree to do any of the foregoing. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall prohibit the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and
their respective Representatives from informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 7.2.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in Section 7.2(a)(i) to the contrary, at any time following the execution of this Agreement and prior to
the time, but not after the Written Consent is delivered, in response to an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal (if the Company
did not materially violate Section 7.2 with respect to such Person) that the Company Board believes in good faith
is bona fide, the Company and its Representatives may contact the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal
to clarify the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably
be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, and may:
(i) provide
information in response to a request therefor (including non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)
to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal; provided that such information has previously been made available to Parent
or its Representatives or is made available to Parent promptly (and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) after such information
is made available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such information, the Company receives from the Person making
such Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms no more favorable in any material respect, individually
or in the aggregate, to the other party than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, it being understood that
such confidentiality agreements need not prohibit or restrict the making or amendment of an Acquisition Proposal; provided,
that (x) the Company shall not pay, agree to pay or cause to be paid, or reimburse, agree to reimburse or cause to be reimbursed
the expenses of any such Person in connection with any Acquisition Proposals (or inquiries, proposals or offers or other efforts
or attempts that may lead to an Acquisition Proposal), in each case, without the prior written consent of Parent and (y) the Company
shall implement reasonable protections for any competitively sensitive information or data provided to any such Person who is,
or whose Affiliates include, a key competitor, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined by the Company Board in
its judgment); and
(ii) participate
in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal;
in each case, if, and
only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation
with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor that based on the information then available and after consultation with its
financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result
in a Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, other than information to the extent included
in the Consent Solicitation Statement, the Company shall not and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to disclose
or provide to any Person who has made an Acquisition Proposal (including such Person’s Affiliates and Representatives), any
information or materials provided by the Parent, its Affiliates or any of their Representatives to the Company or any of its Affiliates
or Representatives, including in any event any such information or materials provided by Parent, its Affiliates or any of their
Representatives in connection with Section 7.2(d); provided, that nothing shall preclude the Company or its Affiliates
or Representatives from disclosing anything pursuant to any subpoena, legal demand, interrogatories or similar legal process, any
regulation or Governmental Order, or as otherwise required by applicable Laws.
(c) Except
as permitted by Section 7.2(d) and Section 7.2(e), the Company Board, including any committee thereof,
shall not:
(i) (A)
withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify) the Company Recommendation
with respect to the Merger in a manner adverse to Parent, (B) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Consent Solicitation
Statement, (C) take any action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
other than an unequivocal recommendation against such offer or a temporary “stop, look and listen” communication by
the Company Board of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act in which the Company Board or the Company indicates
that the Company Board has not changed the Company Recommendation, or (D) if reasonably requested by Parent, fail to reaffirm the
Company Recommendation within the earlier of twenty-four (24) hours prior to the expiry of the Principal Stockholder Postal Ballot
completion and five (5) Business Days after receiving a written request to do so from Parent;
(ii) approve,
authorize or recommend, or publicly declare advisable or publicly propose to enter into, approve, authorize or recommend any letter
of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint
venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section
7.2(b) entered into in compliance with Section 7.2(b)) providing for any Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative
Acquisition Agreement,” and any of the actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a “Change
of Recommendation”); or
(iii) cause
or permit the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time the Written Consent is delivered, the Company Board may (A) effect
a Change of Recommendation if (1) a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes, after consultation with outside
legal counsel, in good faith is bona fide and that did not arise from or in connection with a material breach of the obligations
set forth in Section 7.2 is received by the Company and is not withdrawn, and the Company Board determines in good
faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior
Proposal or (2) an Intervening Event has occurred and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside
legal counsel and its financial advisor, that failure to take such action in response to such Superior Proposal or Intervening
Event, as applicable, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (B) take action
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 9.4(a) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition
Agreement in connection with a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that a Change of Recommendation in response
to a Superior Proposal or Intervening Event or action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a) may
not be made (i) unless the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 7.2(d)
and (ii) unless and until the Company has given Parent written notice of such action four (4) Business Days in advance (a “Proposed
Change Notice”) setting forth in writing (I) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the identity of the person making
the Superior Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, and an unredacted copy of such Superior Proposal (including
any materials related to such party’s proposed financing sources, if any) and (II) in the case of an Intervening Event, a
reasonable description of such facts and circumstances constituting an Intervening Event (it being agreed that, in each case, neither
the delivery of such notice by the Company nor any public announcement thereof that the Company determines in good faith, after
consultation with outside counsel, is required to be made under applicable Law shall constitute a Change of Recommendation); provided
that any material change to the facts and circumstances that constitute such Intervening Event shall be deemed a new Intervening
Event and the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent. After giving such Proposed Change Notice and
prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation or taking such action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a),
the Company shall, and shall instruct its legal and financial advisors to, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives
throughout such four (4) Business Day period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to make such revisions to the terms of
this Agreement or any agreement entered into or delivered in connection herewith as would permit the Company Board not to effect
a Change of Recommendation or to take such action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a). At the
end of the four (4) Business Day period, prior to taking action to effect a Change of Recommendation or taking action to terminate
the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a), the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this
Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Limited Guaranty proposed by Parent in writing and any other information offered
by Parent in response to the Proposed Change Notice, and shall have determined in good faith that (i) in the case of a Superior
Proposal, the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (ii) in the case of an Intervening Event,
the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’
fiduciary duties under applicable Law, in each case, if such changes offered in writing were to be given effect. Any material amendment
to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 7.2(d),
except that the four (4) Business Day period set forth in this Section 7.2(d) shall be five (5) Business Days for
such deemed new Acquisition Proposal (the four (4) Business Day period or the five (5) Business Day period, as applicable, the
“Parent Match Period”).
(e) Nothing
contained in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their
respective boards of directors or any committee thereof, from complying with its disclosure obligations under any Laws, including
U.S. federal or state law, with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that (i) if such disclosure
includes a Change of Recommendation or has the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation,
such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation and (ii) in no event shall the Company effect, or agree or resolve
to effect, a Change of Recommendation other than in compliance with this Section 7.2.
(f) The
Company shall not release any third party from, or waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant permission under or fail to
enforce, any standstill provision in any confidentiality agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal to which the Company
is a party that remains in effect following the execution of this Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside
legal counsel, the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable
Law, then the Company may waive any such standstill provision to the extent necessary to permit a third party to make an Acquisition
Proposal.
(g) The
Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) give written notice to Parent if (i) any inquiries, proposals
or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with
any Acquisition Proposal from, or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be
initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice the name of such Person
or group and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, unredacted copies of any written
requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, or where no such copies are available, a reasonably detailed written
description thereof) and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis (and, in any event, within thirty-six
(36) hours), of the status and material terms of any such proposals, or offers (including any material amendments thereto) and
any material changes to the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions
as previously notified.
(h) The
Company agrees that any material breach of this Section 7.2 by any of its Representatives, including any of its directors
and officers named in the definition of “Knowledge”, the Company Financial Advisor, or Sheppard, Mullin, Richter &
Hampton, LLP shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. Representatives, as used in this Section 7.2(h)
shall mean any director, officer, principal, partner, limited liability company manager, senior employee, investment banker, financial
advisor, legal counsel, attorney in fact or outside accountant of the Principal Stockholder, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries,
in each case acting in their capacity as such.

Stockholder Postal Ballot; Stockholder Written Consent. If the Principal Stockholder obtains the requisite votes for the Principal
Stockholder Shareholder Approval pursuant to the postal balloting process, in accordance with applicable Law (the “Principal
Stockholder Postal Ballot”), the Company shall, in accordance with the CCC, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver
the Written Consent within two (2) Business Days following the publication through the stock exchange in India of the voting results
of the shareholders’ resolution relating to the Principal Stockholder Shareholder Approval (the “Consent Delivery
Deadline”).
7.4 Consent
Solicitation Statement.
(a) The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC as promptly as practicable after July 20, 2020, and in any event no later than August

its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other, with respect to the Consent Solicitation Statement. As promptly
as reasonably practicable, and after consultation with Parent, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to respond to any
comments made by the SEC with respect to the Consent Solicitation Statement. The Company shall provide Parent and its Representatives

and agrees that none of the information supplied by it or any of its Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in
the Consent Solicitation Statement will, at the date of the mailing to the stockholders of the Company contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements

the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party discovering this information
shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours), notify the other parties to this
Agreement and, to the extent required by Law, Parent and the Company shall cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing

in Section 8.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and in each case requesting, where applicable, early termination
of the waiting periods with respect to the Merger), (ii) responding as promptly as reasonably practicable to any informal and formal

consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or any

or agree to, incur any liabilities or any sale, divestiture, license, disposition or holding separate of, or any termination, prohibition,
limitation, restriction or other action with respect to existing relationships, contracts, assets, product lines or businesses
or interests therein of Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries unless the effectiveness of such action is conditioned upon
the Closing.
(b) Subject
to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance and,
to the extent reasonably practicable, each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in
connection with, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as applicable, and any of their respective Subsidiaries,
and with respect to Parent, its other Affiliates, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any
third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions (including the Consent Solicitation Statement). Neither
the Company nor Parent shall permit any of its officers or other Representatives to participate in any meeting or substantive correspondence
or substantive telephone discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry relating
to the Transactions unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives
the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, subject to applicable Laws, Parent shall be primarily responsible for directing the process by which the parties
seek to avoid or eliminate impediments under any applicable Antitrust Laws and shall take the lead in all discussions, negotiations
and other communications with Governmental Entities, provided that Parent shall consult with and consider in good faith
the views of the Company and permit participation in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In exercising the foregoing
rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any materials required to be provided by a Party to the other pursuant to this Section 7.6 may: (i) be restricted
to outside legal counsel only as necessary to protect competitively or commercially sensitive materials, or (ii) be reasonably
redacted as necessary to address attorney-client or other privilege concerns or as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements.
(c) Without
limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 7.6, but on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, including clause (vi) below, each of the Company (in the case of clause (i) below) and Parent (in
the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) below) agrees to take or cause to be taken the following actions:
(i) promptly
provide, if advisable, to each and every federal, state, local or foreign court or Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over enforcement

work product protected information and documents reasonably requested by any Governmental Antitrust Entity or that are reasonably
necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the Transactions;
(ii) promptly
use its reasonable best efforts to take all reasonably necessary, proper or advisable steps to (A) avoid the entry of, and (B)
resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate or remove any actual, anticipated or threatened temporary, preliminary
or permanent injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment in any Proceeding or inquiry of any kind pursuant
to Antitrust Laws, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), that would reasonably be expected to delay, restrain,
prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit or make unlawful the consummation of the Transactions, including the defense through litigation
on the merits of any claim asserted in any court, agency or other Proceeding by any Person pursuant to Antitrust Laws or before
any Governmental Antitrust Entity seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Transactions
and the proffer and agreement by Parent of its willingness to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate pending
such disposition, and promptly to effect the sale, lease, license, disposal and holding separate of, assets, operations, rights,
product lines, licenses, businesses or interests therein of the Company, Parent, either of their respective Subsidiaries or, with
respect to Parent, its other Affiliates (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental
Antitrust Entity giving effect thereto) if such action should be reasonably necessary, proper or advisable so as to permit the
consummation of the Transactions as promptly as practicable (it being understood that, no such action will be binding on
the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates unless it is contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing);
(iii) promptly
use its reasonable best efforts to take, in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction, decision, order,
judgment, determination, decree or Law is entered, issued or enacted, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered, issued or
enacted, in any Proceeding, review or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation
of the Merger or the other Transactions, any and all steps (including, without limitation, the appeal thereof, the posting of a
bond or the taking of the other steps contemplated hereby) as may be necessary or appropriate to resist, vacate, modify, reverse,
suspend, prevent, eliminate, avoid any injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination, decree or enactment so as to permit
such consummation on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement;
(iv) not
extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Antitrust
Entity not to consummate the Transactions, except with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed;
(v) not
enter and cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger
or acquisition), that would reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, to (x) obtain the
expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law applicable to the Transactions or (y) obtain all
other authorizations, consents, orders, and approvals of Governmental Antitrust Entities necessary for the consummation of the
Transactions.
7.7 Status;
Notifications. Subject to applicable Law and as otherwise required by any Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent each
shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the consummation of the Transactions, including promptly (and
in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) furnishing the other with copies of material notices or other material communications
received by Parent or the Company, as applicable, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any third party or any Governmental
Entity with respect to the Transactions.
7.8 Information;
Access and Reports.
(a) Subject
to applicable Laws, the Company and Parent each shall, upon reasonably request by the other, furnish the other with all information
concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary
in connection with the Consent Solicitation Statement, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf
of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection
with the Transactions. From July 20, 2020 until the earlier of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX
and the Effective Time, upon reasonable prior notice and subject to applicable Law, the Company has and shall (i) give to Parent,
its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to
the offices, properties, employees, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) furnish to Parent, its counsel,
financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives such financial, Tax and operating data and other information
as Parent may reasonably request, provided that, in each case, the Company shall not be required to permit any inspection, or disclose
any document or information, that would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, in consultation with outside counsel, (A) result
in the disclosure of any competitively sensitive information or Trade Secrets of any third parties or violate the terms of any
confidentiality provisions in any agreement with a third party entered into prior to July 20, 2020 (or entered into after July
20, 2020 in compliance with Section 7.1), (B) result in a violation of applicable Law, including any fiduciary duty
and Antitrust Laws, (C) waive the protection of any attorney-client privilege or (D) result in the disclosure of any sensitive
or personal information that would expose the Company to the risk of liability. In the event that the Company objects to any request
submitted pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.8 and withholds information on the basis of the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iii), the Company shall inform the Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the Company
and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure that does
not suffer from any of the foregoing impediments, including through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to (A) obtain the
required consent or waiver of any third party required to provide such information and (B) implement appropriate and mutually agreeable
measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 7.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Representatives
will be permitted to collect or analyze any environmental samples or perform any invasive environmental investigation of the type
commonly referred to as a “Phase II” environmental investigation with respect to any property of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the access provisions of this Section 7.8. All information made available or disclosed
pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.
(b) To
the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 7.8 or otherwise in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other
applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand
and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding
that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material
or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. It is the
intention of the Parties that all such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product
doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under
the joint defense doctrine.
(c) No
exchange of information or investigation by Parent or its Representatives shall affect or be deemed to affect, modify or waive
the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement.
7.9 Publicity.
The initial press release with respect to the Transactions shall be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to Parent and the
Company and thereafter the Company and Parent shall consult with each other, and provide meaningful opportunity for review and
give due consideration to reasonable comments by the other Party, prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making planned
public statements with respect to the Transactions and prior to making any filings with any third party or any Governmental Entity
(including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations
pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange, (b) with respect to any Change of Recommendation
made in accordance with this Agreement or Parent’s response thereto or (c) any communications or disclosures by Parent, Merger
Sub and their Affiliates to existing or prospective general or limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors
of such Person or any Affiliates of such Person, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions and deal
descriptions on such Person’s website in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7.9, each of the Parties may make public statements in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors,
business partners or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements
are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Parent and the Company.
7.10 Employee
Benefits.
(a) Parent
agrees that each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time who continues to remain employed with the Company
or its Subsidiaries immediately following the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”), as a group, shall,
during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Effective Time
(or if earlier, the date of the Continuing Employee’s termination of employment with the Company or the applicable Subsidiary)
(the “Continuation Period”), be provided with (i) base salary or base wage and target annual cash incentive
opportunities (excluding long term or equity-based compensation awards or benefits, change in control, severance, retention or
similar bonuses) consistent with market-based compensation practices for employees at similar companies as the Company and having
substantially similar positions as the applicable Continuing Employee, and (ii) employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension,
deferred compensation, post-termination or retiree health or welfare benefits, or equity based awards or benefits, but specifically
including severance and other termination protections to the extent set forth on 5.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter)
that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employees under the Company Benefit Plans
as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than defined benefit pension, deferred compensation, post-termination
or retiree health or welfare benefits, or equity based awards or benefits, but specifically including severance and other termination
protections to the extent set forth on Section 5.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter). For the avoidance of doubt,
Parent shall, during the Continuation Period, provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, severance benefits
to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated following the Closing Date that are at least as favorable as those that
would have been payable to such Continuing Employee prior to the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs prior to the time or times
at which the Company would pay earned and accrued bonuses in respect of the 2021 fiscal year in the Ordinary Course, to the extent
not previously paid, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay such bonuses based on actual performance (as
determined by the Surviving Corporation) and the terms of the applicable bonus plan; provided, that the performance targets shall
not take into account the impact of the Merger (or any related charges); provided further, that, notwithstanding the terms of the
applicable bonus plan, Parent shall cause all such earned and accrued bonuses to be paid to any employees terminated for any reason
other than for cause after the Closing Date.
(b) With
respect to any employee benefit plans that replace existing Company Benefit Plans that are health and welfare or defined contribution
retirement benefit plans and in which Continuing Employees become eligible to participate during the Continuation Period (each,
a “New Plan”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable
efforts to (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any New Plans providing group
health benefits in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their
eligible dependents to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous Company Benefit Plan in which the Continuing Employees
and their eligible dependents participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) give each Continuing Employee credit for
the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits under the applicable
New Plan providing group health benefits for medical expenses incurred during the portion of plan year prior to the Effective Time
for which payment has been made under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan, and (iii) give each Continuing Employee service credit
for such Continuing Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for purposes of vesting, determining the
level of vacation benefits and eligibility to participate under each applicable New Plan, as if such service had been performed
with the Surviving Corporation, Parent or their relevant Affiliate, to the same extent such service was credited for the same purpose
under the analogous Company Benefit Plan, as applicable, except for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans or any
purpose under any equity-based plan or arrangement or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation.
(c) Nothing
contained in this Agreement is intended to (i) be treated as an establishment, modification or amendment of any Company Benefit
Plan, New Plan, or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, practice, agreement or arrangement, (ii) prevent or
limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates from amending, modifying, or terminating any
benefit or compensation plans, programs, policies, practices, agreements or arrangements or any Company Benefit Plan at any time
assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, (iii) prevent Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates
from modifying or terminating (for any or no reason) the employment or service, or any particular term or condition of employment
or service, of any Continuing Employee or any other Person, or (iv) create any rights in any employee of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, or any rights or remedies
(including any third-party beneficiary rights) in any Person (other than the Parties to this Agreement) for any purpose. The parties
further agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 7.10 shall not apply to employees during any period in which
such employees are furloughed, terminated, temporarily laid off or subject to reduced hours or benefits or compensation as a result
of COVID-19-related circumstances.
(d) To
the extent reasonably practicable, prior to making any broad-based written or oral communications to the directors, officers or
employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the Merger
or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication,
Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate
in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.
7.11 Expenses.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees and expenses
of its Representatives, shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense.
7.12 Indemnification;
Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a) For
a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving
Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the Company’s and its
Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents in effect as of July 20, 2020, each present and former (determined as of the Effective
Time) director and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, when acting in such capacity or in serving as a director,
officer, member, trustee, Representative or fiduciary of another entity or enterprise, including a Company Benefit Plan, at the
request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”),
against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities
incurred in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to any Proceeding, in connection with, arising out of or otherwise
related to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the
Effective Time, including in connection with (i) the Transactions, and (ii) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification
or advancement right of any Indemnified Party, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall also advance reasonable documented
out-of-pocket expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted to do so under applicable Law and the Company’s and its
Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents in effect as of July 20, 2020; provided that any Person to whom expenses are
advanced shall promptly repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such Person is not entitled
to indemnification.
(b) Prior
to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the
Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” insurance policies (providing only for the Side A coverage
where the existing policies also include Side B coverage for the Company) for the extension of (i) the directors’ and officers’
liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, and (ii) the Company’s
existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from and
after the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better
credit rating as the Company’s insurance carrier as of July 20, 2020 with respect to directors’ and officers’
liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms,
conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the Company’s existing policies
with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or
the Transactions). If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance
policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue
to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the D&O Insurance in place as of July 20, 2020 with terms, conditions, retentions
and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’
existing policies as of July 20, 2020, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to,
purchase comparable D&O Insurance for the Tail Period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at
least as favorable as provided in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies as of July 20, 2020; provided,
however, that in no event shall the annual premium of the D&O Insurance during the Tail Period exceed 300 percent of
the last annual premium paid by the Company for such purpose; and provided, further, that if the cost of such insurance
coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not
exceeding such amount. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Surviving Corporation,
as applicable, shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and
continue to honor the obligations thereunder.
(c) During
the Tail Period, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to
the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided
in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party
and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on July 20, 2020, shall survive the Transactions unchanged
and shall not be amended, restated, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder
of any such Indemnified Party.
(d) If
Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person
and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially
all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors
and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section
7.12.
(e) The
rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.12 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties
may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws,
and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’
and officers’ insurance claims under any policy or Contract that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees (it being understood that
the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.12 is not prior to or in substitution of any such claims under
such policies).
(f) This
Section 7.12 is intended to be for the benefit of, and from and after the Effective Time shall be enforceable by,
each of the Indemnified Parties, who shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.12.
7.13 Financing
and Financing Cooperation.
(a) No
Amendments to Financing Commitment Letters. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger
Sub will not (without the prior written consent of the Company) permit any amendment or modification (including an amendment or
modification effected by way of side letter) to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Equity Commitment
Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver would or could reasonably be expected to, (i) impose new or additional conditions
precedent to the funding of the Financing, in a manner that would, or could reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the
consummation of the Merger, or (B) make the timely funding of the Financing less likely to occur in any respect, or (ii) adversely
impact the ability of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (solely with respect to the Equity Commitment Letter), to enforce its rights
against the other parties to the Equity Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto.
(b) Equity
Financing. Parent shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions and do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper or
advisable to obtain the Financing, including by (i) maintaining in effect the Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) complying with its
obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent or Merger
Sub in such Equity Commitment Letter, (iv) enforcing its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter, including through the initiation
of legal proceedings against the Equity Financing Source if and to the extent necessary to obtain the Financing contemplated thereby

at the Closing, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter.
(c) Information.
Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing
and shall provide the Company with copies of all executed definitive agreements and all exhibits thereto related to the Financing.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company (i) of any material breach
or default by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Parent has Knowledge,
(ii) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or communication from the Equity Financing Source with respect
to any breach, default, termination or repudiation (in each case, alleged or otherwise) by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter
or any definitive agreement related to the Financing of any provisions of the Equity Commitment Letter or such definitive agreement
and (iii) if for any reason, Parent or Merger Sub at any time believes it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the
Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements
related to the Financing; provided, however, that in no event will Parent be under any obligation to disclose any information
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege; provided,
further, that Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure
of such information in a manner that would not risk waiver of such privilege.
(d) Financing
Cooperation.
(i) Prior
to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent and Merger Sub, and shall cause each of
its Subsidiaries to use its reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its non-legal
Representatives, including accounting, to provide (in each case at Parent’s sole expense) all cooperation reasonably
requested by Parent that is customary in connection with the arrangement of any Debt Financing in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to using commercially reasonable efforts to (provided, however, that nothing

the Company reasonably requested by the Debt Financing Sources (subject to the immediately following proviso, the “Required

Board and the Company Board, respectively, shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions

privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions
with respect to such Transaction Litigation which the Company shall consider in good faith, but Parent will not be afforded any
decision making power or other authority over such Transaction Litigation; provided, that no settlement, arrangement, agreement

is or may be required in connection with the Merger;
(b) any

rise to the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, to be

or Amendment; Waiver.

Sub and the Company, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that
after the Company and Parent’s receipt of the Written Consent, if any such amendment or waiver will by applicable Law or

Principal Stockholder, as applicable. The conditions to each of the Parties’ respective obligations to consummate the Transactions
are for the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable
Law; provided, however, that any such waiver shall only be effective if made in writing and executed by the Party

(and any other provision of this Agreement solely to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such

(a) THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) TO THE
EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, all disputes against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions,
including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof
or the Transactions, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, will be governed by, and construed and enforced
in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within the
State, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Law of the State
of New York.
(b) Except
as permitted under Section 10.6, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be exclusively and
finally settled by confidential arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing by the parties, the arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators and the seat of the arbitration shall
be in the State of California. All arbitration proceedings, including all written submissions and evidence provided, shall be confidential
and shall not be disclosed to any third party, except to the extent: (i) required by applicable law, (ii) required in connection
with any court application for interim relief or post-arbitration confirmation or enforcement proceedings, or (iii) all other parties
to the arbitration proceedings consent to the disclosure. The arbitration hearing shall be held within twelve months after the
filing of the arbitration demand with the AAA. The award shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties
undertake to carry out any decision or award of the tribunal without delay.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to Section 9.7(d), the Company, on behalf of itself and its controlled
Affiliates, and each of the other Parties hereto acknowledge and irrevocably agree (i) that any legal proceeding, whether in law
or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Source arising out of, or relating to, the Merger,
the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York in the borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and each
such Party submits for itself and its property with respect to any such legal proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
court; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such legal proceeding
in any other court; (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective
addresses provided in any applicable debt commitment letter will be effective service of process against them for any such legal
proceeding brought in any such court; (iv) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which
any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of,
any such legal proceeding in any such court; (v) to waive the right to a jury trial in connection with any such legal proceeding,
(vi) any such legal proceeding will be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York; and
(vii) that a final judgment in any such legal proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit
on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
10.6 Specific
Performance.
(a) Each
of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions are special, unique and of
extraordinary character and that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with
their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or damage would be caused for which money damages
would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, subject to Section 9.5(d), Section 9.7
and this Section 10.6, in addition to any other available remedies a Party may have in equity or at law, each Party
shall be entitled to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and seek to obtain an injunction restraining
any breach or violation or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement in the courts of the State of California
without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. Prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, in the event that
any Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby
waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is acknowledged and agreed that Parent has an obligation hereunder to cause the
Financing to be funded, including by exercising its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter, and such obligation of Parent will
be subject to the requirements set forth in clause (A) below, and the right of the Company to specific performance in connection
with enforcing (x) such obligation of Parent and the Company’s third party beneficiary rights under the Equity Commitment
Letter will be subject to the requirements that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section
8.2 have been and continue to be satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied
at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the time the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of
the Financing to be funded); (B) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Merger on the date required pursuant to Section
2.2; and (C) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Parent that if specific performance is granted
and the Financing is funded, then it would take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to
occur (and the Company has not revoked, withdrawn, modified or conditioned such irrevocable confirmation), and Parent and Merger
Sub fail to complete the Closing within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Company’s irrevocable written confirmation.
Subject to Sections 9.5(d)(iii) and 9.7, the election to pursue an injunction, specific performance
or other equitable relief shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit the Company from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate
the Agreement and collect the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.5(c) or pursuing any other remedy available
at law or equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Company’s termination of
this Agreement and payment to the Company of the Parent Termination Fee shall terminate any right of the Company to injunctive
relief or specific performance and (ii) while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance as and only to the extent
permitted by this Section 10.6 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee (only to the extent expressly permitted
by Section 9.5), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both such grant of
specific performance to require Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Closing, on the on hand, and payment of the Parent Termination
Fee, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its equityholders be entitled to
seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement directly against any Debt Financing Source, solely in their respective
capacities as lenders or arrangers in connection with the Debt Financing.
10.7 Notices.

Any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall
not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement,

delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior
written consent of the other Parties, except as provided for in Section 10.11 [Fulfillment of Obligations],
and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 10.13 shall be null and void;
provided, however, that Parent may designate another wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary to be a constituent

which event all references to Merger Sub in this Agreement shall be deemed references to such other wholly owned Subsidiary of
Parent, except that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Merger Sub as of July 20, 2020 shall

Company shall cause the Paying Agent to provide or make available to each holder of record of each Certificate (i) notice advising
such holders of the effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) a letter of transmittal in customary form and reasonably approved by the

to the Paying Agent are properly executed and have otherwise been surrendered in accordance with the instructions set forth therein;
and (ii) the Shares have otherwise been surrendered in accordance with the instructions provided. In each case where a Letter of
Transmittal or other document has been improperly executed or completed or, for any other reason, is not in proper form, or some
other irregularity exists, the Paying Agent shall endeavor to take such action as it considers best suited to notify the surrendering
shareholder thereof and as to the appropriate means of resolving the same. Determination of all questions as to the proper completion
or execution of Letters of Transmittal and any other documents submitted to the Paying Agent as to the proper form for transfer
of the Certificates or as to any other irregularity in connection with the acceptance of the Merger Consideration shall be made
by the Paying Agent in consultation with, and with the prior consent of, officers or counsel for the Parent, and any determination
made by the Parent, who shall have ultimate authority, shall be final and binding.

with a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required pursuant to such
instructions, the Company shall cause the Paying Agent to promptly (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter)
provide or make available to each holder of record of any such Certificate in exchange therefore a check in the amount (after giving
effect to any required Tax withholdings) of (A) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu
of a Certificate) multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
No holder of Book-Entry Shares will be required to provide a Certificate or an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent
in order to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement in respect of such holder’s
Book-Entry Shares.
|
|
8.
|
In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of
an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person
of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger
Consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.
|
|
9.
|
The Paying Agent shall comply with, and shall arrange to comply with, all requirements under the
tax laws of the United States, including those relating to missing tax identification numbers, and shall file any appropriate reports
with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) (e.g., 1099, 1099-B, etc.) The Paying Agent may be required to deduct
and withhold backup withholding tax from cash paid to holders who have not supplied their correct taxpayer identification number
or required certification. Such funds shall be turned over to the IRS by the Paying Agent.
|
|
10.
|
The Paying Agent shall keep and maintain complete and accurate ledgers showing all Shares exchanged
by it and payments made by it and provide copies of such ledgers upon the reasonable request of Parent. The Paying Agent is authorized

|
|
11.
|
All Certificates surrendered to the Paying Agent shall be retained by it as required by the regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States.
|
|
12.
|

in an account for the benefit of the surrendering holders of Shares, at JP Morgan Chase, 55 Water Street, New York, NY, ABA # ,
Acct# (and referencing name of the Company), federal or other immediately available funds in an amount equal to the number of Shares
multiplied by the Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”) payable upon surrender of the Shares. The
Paying Agent will draw upon the funds in the Exchange Fund, at or following the Closing, as required to make payments for the Shares
and any applicable tax withholding payments. The Exchange Fund, once deposited with the Paying Agent, shall, until such disbursement
to the holders of Shares, be held in trust for the benefit of holders of Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration and shall not be used for any other purpose. The Paying Agent will not be obligated to calculate or pay interest
to any holder or party and no interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon the surrender of any Certificate or the
conversion of any Book-Entry Shares.
|
|
13.
|
Upon request, the Paying Agent shall provide to the Parent the information on the number of the
Shares which have been properly surrendered and such other information as Parent may reasonably request.
|
|
14.
|
After the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, for the purposes of facilitating the surrender
of the Shares, and/or the payment of the Merger Consideration, the Paying Agent may select and use the services of a shareholder
locating service provider (the “Provider”), to locate and contact (i) holders who have not surrendered their
Shares, including lost Certificates, and (ii) former holders of Shares who may not have yet cashed their checks representing the
Merger Consideration. The Provider may compensate the Paying Agent for processing and other services. The Provider shall inform
any located shareholders that they may choose either to contact the Paying Agent directly to receive the Merger Consideration at
no charge other than any applicable fees, or to utilize the services of the Provider for a fee, which may not exceed the lesser
of twenty percent (20%) of the total value of the Merger Consideration or the maximum fee allowed pursuant to any applicable state
statute. These locating services shall be done at no cost to the Parent. Should the Parent elect to utilize a provider other than
the one selected by the Paying Agent, additional fees may apply.
|
|
15.
|
The Paying Agent shall identify, report and deliver all unclaimed Shares and related unclaimed
property to all states and jurisdictions for the Company in accordance with applicable abandoned property law. The Paying Agent
shall not charge the Parent for services relating to the escheatment of property (with the exception of reasonable, documented
and customary out- of-pocket expenses), as the Paying Agent will receive compensation from agents for the states for processing
and support services it provides relating to the initial compliance with applicable abandoned property law.
|
|
16.
|
Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any deposit of the Exchange Fund) that
remains unclaimed by the holders of the Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to Parent.
Any holder of Shares who has not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates for exchange pursuant to the Merger
Agreement shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation for delivery of the Merger Consideration that such
holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none
of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares of the
Company’s capital stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar Laws. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately
prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity will, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving
Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

|
18.
|
The Parent agrees to pay the Paying Agent for services rendered hereunder, as set forth in the
schedule attached to this Agreement.
|
|
19.
|
The Parent and the Company hereby jointly covenant and agree to indemnify, reimburse and hold the
Paying Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Paying Agent Indemnified Person”) harmless
against any loss, liability or reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable and documented legal and
other fees and expenses) incurred by a Paying Agent Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with entering into this
Agreement or the performance of its duties hereunder in each case resulting from any third party claims, except for such losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred as a result of its gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct. Neither the Parent
nor the Company shall be liable under this indemnity with respect to any claim against a Paying Agent Indemnified Person unless
the Parent and the Company are notified of the written assertion of a claim against it, or of any action commenced against a Paying
Agent Indemnified Person, promptly after such Paying Agent Indemnified Person shall have received any such written information
as to the nature and basis of the claim; provided, however, that failure by the Paying Agent to provide such notice shall not relieve
the Parent or the Company of any liability hereunder if no prejudice occurs. If any Paying Agent Indemnified Person is entitled
to indemnification hereunder with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party, Parent shall be entitled to assume
the defense of any such action or proceeding. Upon assumption by Parent of the defense of any such action or proceeding, such Paying
Agent Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but Parent
shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Paying Agent Indemnified Person in connection
with the defense thereof, unless Parent has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses. The Paying Agent hereby covenants
and agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents (each, a “Parent Indemnified Person”) harmless against any loss, liability or
reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expense (including legal and other fees and expenses) incurred by a Parent Indemnified
Person arising out of or in connection with the fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of a Paying Agent Indemnified
Person. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable under this indemnity for any settlement
made without its prior written consent.
|
Except with respect to indemnification
obligations in respect of third-party claims, no party hereto shall have any liability for any incidental, special, statutory,
indirect or consequential damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or cost of cover.
All provisions regarding indemnification,
liability and limits thereon shall survive the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or the termination of this Agreement.
|
20.
|
Any notice or communication by the Paying Agent or the Parent to the other is duly given if in
writing and delivered in person or via first class mail (postage prepaid) or overnight air courier to the other’s address.

to the other parties, and upon the effective date of such termination, the Paying Agent shall immediately deliver to the Parent,

remains unclaimed at that time. Unless so terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect until all Shares have been received
and paid for, or until the final delivery of all consideration(s) to the shareholder(s) or to the appropriate states as unclaimed
property. In the event of such termination, the Parent will appoint a successor paying agent and inform the Paying Agent of the
name and address of any successor paying agent so appointed, provided that no failure by the Parent to appoint a successor paying
agent shall effect the termination of this Agreement or the discharge of Paying Agent as paying agent hereunder. Upon any such
termination, Paying Agent shall be relieved and discharged of any further responsibilities with respect to its duties hereunder.

|
27.
|
The Paying Agent acknowledges that it will acquire information and data from the Company, and all
such information and data are confidential and proprietary information of the Company (collectively, “Confidential Information”).
Confidential Information may include, but shall not be limited to, information related to the Company’s clients, business
plans, ownership structure, business processes, and other related data, all in any form whether electronic or otherwise, that the
Paying Agent acquires in connection with this Agreement. Confidential Information will not include, however, any information that
(i) was in the possession of the Paying Agent at the commencement of the services contemplated under this Agreement, (ii) became
part of the public domain through no fault of the Paying Agent or (iii) became rightfully known to the Paying Agent or its affiliates
through a third party with no obligation of confidentiality to the Company, or (iv) is independently developed by the Paying Agent.
The Paying Agent agrees not to disclose the Confidential Information to others (except as required by law) or use it in any way,
commercially or otherwise, except in performing services hereunder, and shall not allow any unauthorized person access to the Confidential
Information. The Paying Agent further agrees to exercise at least the same degree of care as it uses with regard to its own confidential
information, but in no event less than reasonable degree of care, in protecting the Confidential Information. In the event that
the Paying Agent or any of its representatives are requested or required by law, regulatory authority or other applicable judicial
or governmental order to disclose any Confidential Information, the Paying Agent will provide the Parent and the Company with prompt
written notice of any such request or requirement so that the Parent or the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate
remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained, or that the Parent or the Company waives compliance with the terms hereof, the Paying Agent may disclose only that portion
of the Confidential Information which is legally required and the Paying Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.

August 7, 2020
The Board of Directors
Majesco
412 Mt. Kemble Ave., Suite 110C
Morristown, New Jersey
07960
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We understand that
Majesco, a California corporation (the “Company”), is considering a transaction whereby Magic Intermediate, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) will effect a merger involving the Company.
Pursuant to the terms
of an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), among the Company, Parent and Magic Merger
Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will merge with
the Company, as a result of which the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Transaction”),
and all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.002 per share, of the Company (“Company Common
Stock”), other than the Excluded Shares (as defined in the Agreement), will be converted into the right to receive, for each
outstanding share of Company Common Stock, $16.00 in cash (the “Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Transaction
are more fully set forth in the Agreement.
You have requested
our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Company Common Stock (other than the holders
of the Excluded Shares (the “Excluded Holders”) in respect of their respective holdings of Excluded Shares) of the
Consideration to be received by the holders of the Company Common Stock (other than the Excluded Holders) in the Transaction.
Nomura Securities
International, Inc. (“Nomura”) has acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Transaction and
will receive fees for its services, including a fee which is payable in connection with this opinion and an additional fee which
is contingent upon consummation of the Transaction. In addition, the Company has also agreed to reimburse Nomura’s expenses
and indemnify Nomura against certain liabilities arising out of its engagement. During the past two years, Nomura and its affiliates
have provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking and other financial services to Parent or its affiliates unrelated
to the proposed Transaction, for which Nomura and its affiliates have received, or may receive, compensation. Nomura and its affiliates
are engaged in financial services, including, without limitation, investment banking, financial advisory, corporate finance, retail
banking, securities and derivatives trading, asset finance, merchant banking and asset management.
In the ordinary course of business, Nomura, its successors and affiliates may hold or trade, for their own accounts and the accounts
of their customers, the equity, debt or other securities or financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations)
of the Company or of affiliates of Parent or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the Transaction and, accordingly,
may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities, instruments, currencies or commodities (or in related derivatives).
Although this opinion
was approved by our Fairness Opinion Committee, our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Transaction as compared
to other business strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to the Company or the Company’s underlying business
decision to effect the Transaction. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such shareholder
should vote or act with respect to the Transaction. At your direction, we have not been asked to, nor do we, offer any opinion
as to the terms, other than the Consideration to the extent expressly specified herein, of the Agreement or the form of the Transaction.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent, that (i) the final executed form of the Agreement will not differ
in any material respect from the draft that we have reviewed, (ii) the parties to the Agreement will comply with all material terms
of the Agreement, and (iii) the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without any adverse
waiver or amendment of any material term or condition thereof. We have also assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other
consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company
or the expected benefits of the Transaction in any way meaningful to our analysis. We are not legal, regulatory, tax or accounting
experts and have relied on the assessments made by the Company and its advisors with respect to such issues.
In arriving at our
opinion, we have, among other things: (i) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to the
Company; (ii) reviewed certain internal financial information and other data relating to the business and financial prospects of
the Company that were provided to us by the management of the Company and not publicly available, including financial forecasts
and estimates prepared by management of the Company up to March 31, 2021; (iii) conducted discussions with members of the senior
management of the Company concerning the business and financial prospects of the Company; (iv) reviewed publicly available financial
and stock market data with respect to certain other companies we believe to be generally relevant; (v) compared the financial terms
of the Transaction with the publicly available financial terms of certain other transactions we believe to be generally relevant;
(vi) reviewed current and historical market prices of Company Common Stock; (vii) reviewed a draft of the Agreement dated August
6, 2020; and (viii) conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations, and considered such other information,
as we deemed necessary or appropriate.
As you are aware, management
of the Company did not provide any financial forecasts or estimates to Nomura beyond March 31, 2021. At your direction, therefore,
we did not perform a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company acknowledges that the results of the fairness analysis might have
been different had such financial forecasts and estimates been provided and a discounted cash flow analysis been performed.
In
connection with our review, with your consent, we have not assumed any responsibility for independent verification of any of the
information provided to or reviewed by us for the purpose of this opinion and have, with your consent, relied on such information
being complete and accurate in all material respects. In addition, with your consent, we have not made any independent evaluation
or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company, nor have we been furnished with any
such evaluation or appraisal. We also have not evaluated, and do not express an opinion as to the impact of the Transaction on,
the solvency, viability or fair value of the Company under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
matters or the ability of the Company to pay its obligations when they become due. With respect to the financial forecasts and
estimates referred to above, we have assumed, at your direction, that they have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting
the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of
the Company. In addition, we have assumed with your approval that the financial forecasts and estimates referred to above will
be achieved at the times and in the amounts projected. We express no opinion regarding the fairness of the amount or nature of
the compensation to any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation
to the public shareholders of the Company, in connection with the Transaction. Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary,
market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information available to us as of, the date hereof. It should be understood
that subsequent developments may affect this opinion.
Based upon and subject
to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by holders of the Company Common
Stock (other than the Excluded Holders) in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.
This opinion is provided
solely for the benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with, and for the purpose of, its evaluation of the Consideration
in the Transaction and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any third party or used for any other purpose without the prior
written consent of Nomura.

Very truly yours,

Annex C
Chapter 13 of
the California General Corporation Law
§ 1300.
(a)
If the approval of the outstanding shares (Section 152) of a corporation is required for a reorganization under subdivisions (a) and
(b) or subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 1201, each shareholder of the corporation entitled to vote on the
transaction and each shareholder of a subsidiary corporation in a short-form merger may, by complying with this chapter, require
the corporation in which the shareholder holds shares to purchase for cash at their fair market value the shares owned by the shareholder
which are dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b). The fair market value shall be determined as of the day of, and immediately
prior to, the first announcement of the terms of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger, excluding any appreciation or
depreciation in consequence of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger, as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock
split, or share dividend that becomes effective thereafter.
(b)
As used in this chapter, “dissenting shares” means shares to which all of the following apply:
(1)
That were not, immediately prior to the reorganization or short-form merger, listed on any national securities exchange certified
by the Commissioner of Business Oversight under subdivision (o) of Section 25100, and the notice of meeting of shareholders
to act upon the reorganization summarizes this section and Sections 1301, 1302, 1303 and 1304; provided, however, that this provision
does not apply to any shares with respect to which there exists any restriction on transfer imposed by the corporation or by any
law or regulation; and provided, further, that this provision does not apply to any shares where the holder of those shares is
required, by the terms of the reorganization or short-form merger, to accept for the shares anything except: (A) shares of
any other corporation, which shares, at the time the reorganization or short-form merger is effective, are listed on any national
securities exchange certified by the Commissioner of Business Oversight under subdivision (o) of Section 25100; (B) cash
in lieu of fractional shares described in the foregoing subparagraph (A); or (C) any combination of the shares and cash in
lieu of fractional shares described in the foregoing subparagraphs (A) and (B).
(2)
That were outstanding on the date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on the reorganization and (A) were
not voted in favor of the reorganization or, (B) if described in paragraph (1), were voted against the reorganization, or
were held of record on the effective date of a short-form merger; provided, however, that subparagraph (A) rather than subparagraph
(B) of this paragraph applies in any case where the approval required by Section 1201 is sought by written consent rather
than at a meeting.
(3)
That the dissenting shareholder has demanded that the corporation purchase at their fair market value, in accordance with Section 1301.
(4)
That the dissenting shareholder has submitted for endorsement, in accordance with Section 1302.
(c)
As used in this chapter, “dissenting shareholder” means the recordholder of dissenting shares and includes a transferee
of record.
§ 1301.
(a)
If, in the case of a reorganization, any shareholders of a corporation have a right under Section 1300, subject to compliance
with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, to require the corporation to purchase their shares for
cash, that corporation shall mail to each of those shareholders a notice of the approval of the reorganization by its outstanding
shares (Section 152) within 10 days after the date of that approval, accompanied by a copy of Sections 1300, 1302, 1303, and 1304
and this section, a statement of the price determined by the corporation to represent the fair market value of the dissenting shares,
and a brief description of the procedure to be followed if the shareholder desires to exercise the shareholder’s right under
those sections. The statement of price constitutes an offer by the corporation to purchase at the price stated any dissenting shares

the shareholder to sell the shares at that price.

the court shall first determine that issue. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall determine,
or shall appoint one or more impartial appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.
§ 1305.
(a)
If the court appoints an appraiser or appraisers, they shall proceed forthwith to determine the fair market value per share. Within

(b)
If a majority of the appraisers appointed fail to make and file a report within 10 days from the date of their appointment or within
such further time as may be allowed by the court or the report is not confirmed by the court, the court shall determine the fair
market value of the dissenting shares.
(c)
Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, judgment shall be rendered against the corporation for payment of an amount equal
to the fair market value of each dissenting share multiplied by the number of dissenting shares which any dissenting shareholder

to be paid in respect to such shares in the event of a reorganization or merger.

No shareholder of a corporation who has a right under this chapter to demand payment of cash for the shares held by the shareholder

or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, except in an action to test whether the number of shares required to authorize or
approve the reorganization have been legally voted in favor thereof; but any holder of shares of a class whose terms and provisions

to payment in accordance with those terms and provisions or, if the principal terms of the reorganization are approved pursuant

with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, subdivision (a) shall not apply to any shareholder of such
party who has not demanded payment of cash for such shareholder’s shares pursuant to this chapter; but if the shareholder
institutes any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form
merger set aside or rescinded, the shareholder shall not thereafter have any right to demand payment of cash for the shareholder’s
shares pursuant to this chapter. The court in any action attacking the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to
have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded shall not restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transaction
except upon 10 days’ prior notice to the corporation and upon a determination by the court that clearly no other remedy will
adequately protect the complaining shareholder or the class of shareholders of which such shareholder is a member.
(c)
If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control
with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, in any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form
merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, (1) a party to a reorganization or short-form
merger which controls another party to the reorganization or short-form merger shall have the burden of proving that the transaction
is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of the controlled party, and (2) a person who controls two or more parties to
a reorganization shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of any party
so controlled.
§ 1313.

of applying the provisions of this chapter, in accordance with and to the extent provided in Section 1159.
