In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, certain CTG's directors and executive officers, holding approximately 8.8% in the aggregate of CTG's outstanding shares, entered into an agreement in which they agreed to tender all their shares in the tender offer. The closing of the transaction will be subject to customary conditions, including the expiration or termination of certain regulatory periods and the tender of shares representing at least two-thirds of CTG's outstanding common stock in the tender offer, as required by the merger approval requirements under applicable New York law. Upon the successful completion of the tender offer, Cegeka would acquire any shares of CTG's common stock not tendered through a second-step merger effected for the same per common share consideration. The transaction is expected to close later in 2023. Upon the successful completion of the tender offer, Cegeka's acquisition subsidiary will be merged into CTG, and any remaining shares of common stock of CTG will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the same $10.50 per share in cash. After closing, CTG will become a privately held company, and shares of CTG common stock will no longer be listed on any public market. Reported Earnings • Aug 10
