On September 30, 2016, Avast Holding B.V. (“Avast”) and Avast Software B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Avast (“Purchaser), announced the completion (the “Closing”) of the previously announced offer (the “Offer”) by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”). On September 30, 2016, Avast and Purchaser also announced the commencement of a subsequent offering period of the Offer (the “Subsequent Offering Period”), in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2016, among Avast, Purchaser and the Company. The Subsequent Offering Period will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 14, 2016, unless extended.

As previously disclosed, on August 23, 2016, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which shareholders approved certain agenda items to become effective upon the acceptance by Purchaser of Shares tendered in the Offer (the “Acceptance Time”), including the resignation of certain managing and supervisory directors of the Company and the appointment of new managing and supervisory directors designated by Avast. Thus, as a result of the acceptance of Shares in the Offer, the resignation of all pre-Closing managing directors has become effective. Also effective upon the Acceptance Time were the resignations of all pre-Closing supervisory directors, except for Jan Haars and Colin Tenwick. The appointments of Alan Rassaby, Stefan Boermans and Dick Haarsma to the management board, and René Bienz, Gagandeep Singh and Glenn Taylor to the supervisory board, became effective upon the Acceptance Time.

Also on September 30, 2016, the Company announced its intention to (1) voluntarily delist the Shares from the New York Stock Exchange and (2) upon satisfaction of the applicable requirements, deregister the Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act once it is eligible to do so.

A copy of the press release of Avast announcing the Closing of the Offer and the Company’s intention to voluntarily delist the Shares and deregister the Shares under the Exchange Act is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
