The Merger Agreement provides, subject to certain conditions, for the commencement of the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement. Following the consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge into Global Med (the “Merger”) and Global Med shall continue as the surviving corporation.
