Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 11, 2026, Allegiant Travel Company, a Nevada corporation ("Allegiant"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sun Country"), Mirage Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant ("Merger Sub 1"), and Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant ("Merger Sub 2", together with Merger Sub 1, the "Merger Subs"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into Sun Country (the "First Merger"), with Sun Country surviving the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant and immediately following the First Merger, the merger of Sun Country with and into Merger Sub 2 (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers"), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the First Merger, each existing share ("Share") of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Sun Country ("Sun Country Common Stock"), will be converted into the right to receive (i) $4.10 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Consideration") and (ii) 0.1557 (the "Merger Exchange Ratio") shares of Allegiant common stock ("Allegiant Common Stock"), par value $0.001 per share (the "Per Share Stock Consideration" and, together with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the "Merger Consideration").

The Merger Agreement also provides that, effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by virtue of the Mergers:

•

All outstanding stock options to purchase a share of Sun Country Common Stock granted pursuant to any Company Equity Award Plan, regardless of exercise price, will automatically convert into stock options for Allegiant immediately before the closing, with no action required by the holder (the "Converted Options" and each a "Converted Option"). Each Converted Option will cover a proportionately adjusted number of shares of Allegiant Common Stock based on the Merger Exchange Ratio (as adjusted and as determined under the Merger Agreement) and will have a proportionately adjusted exercise price and will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions;

•

Each outstanding Company RSU Award will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into a Parent RSU Award based on the Merger Exchange Ratio (as adjusted and as determined under the Merger Agreement). The Parent RSU Awards will continue to have the same terms and conditions as the Company RSU Awards, including any double-trigger vesting protections;

•

Each outstanding Company PRSU award will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into a Parent PRSU Award, based on the Merger Exchange Ratio (as adjusted and as determined under the Merger Agreement) and converted based on an average performance factor of 125% The Parent PRSU Awards will continue to have the same terms and conditions as the Company PRSU Awards, including any double-trigger vesting protections, provided that there will no longer be any performance-based vesting conditions, and the Parent PRSU Award will be a time-vesting award eligible to vest on the last day of the performance period applicable to the Company PRSU Award; and

•

With respect to non-employee Sun Country board members and former employees/service providers to Sun Country, each Company Equity Award held by such individuals will become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested), cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

If the Mergers are consummated, the Sun Country Common Stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as promptly as practicable following the Closing.

The Merger Agreement provides that, as of immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger, Allegiant will increase the size of its board of directors (the "Allegiant Board") by three (3) members and three (3) directors designated by Sun Country, one (1) of whom will be Jude Bricker, the President and CEO of Sun Country, and two (2) of whom will be current members of Sun Country's board of directors (the "Sun Country Board") and reasonably acceptable to the nominating and governance committee of the Allegiant Board, will join the Allegiant Board.

Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (1) adoption of the Merger Agreement by Sun Country stockholders (the "Sun Country Stockholder Approval"), (2) approval of the issuance of shares of Allegiant Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement by Allegiant stockholders (the "Allegiant Stockholder Approval" and, together with the Sun Country Stockholder Approval, the "Stockholder Approvals"), (3) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including approvals from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including the TSA, and the expiration or early termination of the statutory waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"); (4) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions; (5) the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by Allegiant and Sun Country with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (6) the authorization and approval for listing on NASDAQ of the shares of Allegiant Common Stock to be issued to holders of Sun Country Common Stock in the Merger; and (7) the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Sun Country, Allegiant and the Merger Subs each make certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, as applicable, in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants regarding the conduct of their respective businesses during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

In addition, Sun Country and Allegiant have agreed, among other things, that neither they nor any of their directors, officers, employees and representatives will (1) solicit alternative transactions, (2) participate in or facilitate any discussions or negotiations relating to alternative transactions, (3) furnish any non-public information in connection with alternative transactions or (4) enter into any agreement relating to alternative transactions, except under limited circumstances described in the Merger Agreement. However, in certain circumstances, Sun Country or Allegiant may terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement for a Superior Proposal.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for Sun Country and Allegiant, including, without limitation, a right for either party to terminate if the Merger is not consummated on or before January 11, 2027, subject to certain extensions if needed to obtain required regulatory approvals, or if a Stockholder Approval is not obtained. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to a Change of Recommendation by the Allegiant Board or Allegiant's entry into a definitive agreement for a Superior Proposal, Allegiant will be required to pay Sun Country a termination fee of $52,230,000. Conversely, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to a Change of Recommendation by the Sun Country Board or Sun Country's entry into a definitive agreement for a Superior Proposal, Sun Country will be required to pay Allegiant a termination fee of $33,020,000. In addition, Allegiant will be required to pay Sun Country a termination fee of $30,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to the failure of the parties to obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act ("HSR Clearance"), or if there is a final, non-appealable law or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions relating to HSR Clearance.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances in which a Stockholder Approval is not obtained, either party may be required to reimburse the other party's expenses up to $11,000,000. The Merger Agreement also provides the methodology by which certain expenses will be borne.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Sun Country, Allegiant or Merger Subs. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement, as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and the parties expressly identified as third-party beneficiaries thereto, as applicable (except as expressly provided therein), may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements therein or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Sun Country and Allegiant's respective public disclosures.

This communication contains forward-looking statements under the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and often can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "believe," "expect," "guidance," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate", "project", "hope" or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this communication are based on Allegiant's and Sun Country's current expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, their respective businesses and industries, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by Allegiant and Sun Country, all of which are subject to change.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the following: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement for the proposed transaction; the risk that potential legal proceedings may be instituted against Allegiant or Sun Country and result in significant costs of defense, indemnification or liability; the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close when expected or at all because required stockholder approvals, required regulatory approvals or other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that such regulatory approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction); the risk that the combined company will not realize expected benefits, cost savings, accretion, synergies and/or growth from the proposed transaction or that any of the foregoing may take longer to realize or be more costly to achieve than expected; disruption to the parties' businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the proposed transaction; the costs associated with the anticipated length of time of the pendency of the proposed transaction, including the restrictions contained in the definitive merger agreement on the ability of each of Sun Country and Allegiant to operate their respective businesses outside the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the pendency of the proposed transaction; the diversion of Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective management teams' attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities on acquisition-related matters; the risk that the integration of Sun Country's operations will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected or that Allegiant is otherwise unable to successfully integrate Sun Country's businesses into its businesses; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of Allegiant's or Sun Country's customers, suppliers, employees, labor unions or other business partners, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; the dilution caused by Allegiant's issuance of additional shares of its common stock in connection with the consummation of the proposed transaction; a material adverse change in the business, condition or results of operations of Allegiant or Sun Country; changes in domestic or international economic, political or business conditions, including those impacting the airline industry (including customers, employees and supply chains); Allegiant's and Sun Country's ability to successfully implement their respective operational, productivity and strategic initiatives; the outcome of claims, litigation, governmental proceedings and investigations involving Allegiant or Sun Country; and a cybersecurity incident or other disruption to Sun Country's or Allegiant's technology infrastructure.

Forward-looking statements in this communication are qualified by and should be read together with, the risk factors set forth above and the risk factors included in Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and readers should refer to such risks, uncertainties and risk factors in evaluating such forward-looking statements. In addition, the risk factors discussed above are not exhaustive and they, along with other risk factors, will be more fully discussed in the registration statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction.

(e) Unless otherwise determined by Parent, at the First Effective Time, (i) the directors of Merger Sub 1 immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall, from and after the First Effective Time until the Second Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) the officers of Merger Sub 1 immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall, from and after the First Effective Time until the Second Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold the same office with the Surviving Corporation as such officer held with Merger Sub 1 immediately prior to the First Effective Time in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(f) Unless otherwise determined by Parent, at the Second Effective Time, the managers and officers of Merger Sub 2 immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall, from and after the Second Effective Time, be the managers and officers of the Surviving Entity, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of organization and operating agreement of the Surviving Entity until their respective successors have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of organization and operating agreement of the Surviving Entity.

(g) If at any time after the First Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation determines, in its sole discretion, or is advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub 1 acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the First Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub 1, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1 Conversion of Securities.

(a) Effect of First Merger on Company Common Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(i) each share ("Share") of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share ("Company Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) and Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such Shares in the case of certificated Shares, or automatically in the case of Book-Entry Shares formerly representing such Shares, in accordance with Section 2.3, (A) $4.10 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Consideration") and (B) subject to Section 2.2, 0.1557 (the "Merger Exchange Ratio") fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form (the "Per Share Stock Consideration" and, together with Per Share Cash Consideration, the "Merger Consideration");

(ii) all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate and Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented any of the Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the right to receive, pursuant to Section 2.2, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (the "Fractional Share Consideration") and any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the First Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company in accordance with this Agreement and which remain unpaid or undistributed at the First Effective Time; and

(iii) all Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company, and all Shares owned of record by Parent, Merger Subs or any of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries, will be cancelled and will cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

(b) Effect of First Merger on Merger Sub 1 Common Stock. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of Parent or the Company, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub 1 (the "Merger Sub Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the First Effective Time, all certificates representing Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(c) Effect of Second Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, (i) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor and (ii) the members' interests of Merger Sub 2 outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become the members' interests of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute 100% of the outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the members' interests of Merger Sub 2 shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of members' interests into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

2.2 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the First Merger, and such fractional shares shall not entitle the holder thereof to (a) any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock, (b) vote any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock or (c) any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. The Exchange Agent, acting as agent for the holders of Shares that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock under Section 2.1(a)(i), shall aggregate all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been required to be distributed under Section 2.1(a)(i) and cause them to be sold on Nasdaq at then-prevailing prices, and each holder of Shares that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock under Section 2.1(a)(i) shall, in lieu thereof, be entitled to receive from the proceeds from such sales by the Exchange Agent, rounded down to the nearest whole cent and without interest, an amount equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the proceeds of such sales. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Shares in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of converted Shares entitled to receive such cash.

2.3 Payment and Issuance of Merger Consideration; Surrender of Company Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. (i) Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent will designate a reputable bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the exchange agent for purposes of effecting the payment and issuance of the Merger Consideration in connection with the First Merger (the "Exchange Agent"). At or immediately prior to the First Effective Time (but in any event substantially concurrently with the First Effective Time), Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (A) the shares of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock (excluding any Fractional Share Consideration) and (B) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to which holders of Shares will be entitled at the First Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement and the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2 and (ii) after the First Effective Time, on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent an amount of cash equal to the amount of any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 2.3(g) on the shares of Parent Common Stock deposited under the foregoing clause (i) (collectively, the "Exchange Fund"). The cash portion of the Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Entity, in (1) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than thirty (30) days; (2) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively; or (3) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available, pending payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to the holders of the Shares). Earnings resulting from such investments will be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings will accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares. Any losses resulting from such investments shall not impact Parent's obligations under this Article 2, and in the event of any such losses, Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause to deposit into the Exchange Fund sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock or cash, as needed, to satisfy Parent's obligations under this Article 2.

(b) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the First Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent will cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that represented Shares (the "Certificates"), which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the First Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement, (i) a letter of transmittal, which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (if any) will pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and will otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates will be entitled to receive (A) cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration, multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate, (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive for the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate under Section 2.1(a)(i) (after taking into account all other Certificates surrendered by such holder under this Section 2.3(b)(i)), (C) any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 2.3(g) and (D) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable under Section 2.2. Any Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Shares formerly represented by such Certificates (except for the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, under Section 2.3(g), and the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2. If payment of the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Article 2) is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment will have paid any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Article 2) to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or will have established to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable. Until surrendered, each Certificate will be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement and the right to receive the Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends or other distributions under Section 2.3(g).

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Any holder of non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry ("Book-Entry Shares") shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Article 2) that such holder is entitled to receive. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the First Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), (1) cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration, multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Book-Entry Shares, (2) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive for such Book-Entry Shares under Section 2.1(a)(i), (3) any dividends or distributions payable under Section 2.3(g) and (4) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable under Section 2.2. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the First Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed and thereafter there will be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the First Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the First Effective Time, Certificates formerly representing Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent for any reason, then (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.3(b)) they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following the first anniversary of the First Effective Time, the Surviving Entity will be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest accrued with respect thereto) not disbursed to holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Entity (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration, including any Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends or other distributions under Section 2.3(g), payable upon due surrender of their Certificates and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.3(b). If, prior to six (6) years after the First Effective Time (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of Certificates has not complied with the procedures in Section 2.3(b) to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Certificates will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Entity nor the Exchange Agent will be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a customary affidavit of loss and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Subs, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or any other Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely and properly remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or other Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(g) Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Parent Common Stock.

(i) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable hereunder, until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond), there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) by the Exchange Agent at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b), and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b).

(ii) Subject to applicable Law, there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Book-Entry Shares under this Article 2, without interest, (i) by the Exchange Agent at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b), and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b).

2.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares, the "Dissenting Shares") will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and will instead represent the right to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to receive such payment in respect of such Dissenting Shares will cease and such Dissenting Shares will be deemed to have been converted, as of the First Effective Time, into and will be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration and the right to receive the Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends or other distributions under Section 2.3(g) and shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. The Company will give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent will have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, 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.

2.5 Treatment of Company Equity Awards; Stock Plans.

(a) Treatment of Company Options. Except as provided in Section 2.5(d), effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each award of an option to purchase a share of Company Common Stock granted pursuant to any Company Equity Award Plan (each, a "Company Option"), that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (whether vested or unvested and whether the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock is less than, equal to, or greater than the Merger Consideration Closing Value) shall without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed and converted into an option to purchase from Parent a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Merger Consideration Closing Value by the Parent Measurement Price, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the Parent Measurement Price by the Merger Consideration Closing Value (with the resulting price per share rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (each, as so adjusted, a "Converted Parent Option"). Each such Converted Parent Option so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time; provided that Parent shall convert Company Options into Converted Parent Options in a manner intended to not cause the Converted Parent Options to be treated as the grant of a new stock right for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Treatment of Company RSU Awards. Except as provided in Section 2.5(d), effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units denominated in Company Common Stock subject to time-based vesting restrictions granted pursuant to the Company Equity Award Plans (other than, for clarity, Company PRSU Awards, the treatment of which in connection with the Mergers shall be as provided in Section 2.5(c)) (each, a "Company RSU Award"), shall without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a Parent restricted stock unit award (a "Parent RSU Award") denominated in Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.5(b). Each such Parent RSU Award as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the Company RSU Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time. As of the First Effective Time, each such Parent RSU Award as so assumed and converted shall represent the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the related Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (B) the Merger Consideration Closing Value, by (ii) the Parent Measurement Price.

(c) Treatment of Company PRSU Awards. Except as provided in Section 2.5(d), effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit award denominated in Company Common Stock subject to performance-based vesting restrictions granted pursuant to the Company Equity Award Plans (other than, for clarity, Company RSU Awards, the treatment of which in connection with the Mergers shall be as provided in Section 2.5(b)) (each, a "Company PRSU Award"), that is then outstanding prior to the First Effective Time, shall without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a Parent time-based restricted stock unit award (a "Parent PRSU Award") denominated in Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.5(c). Each such Parent PRSU Award as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the Company PRSU Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time; provided that there shall no longer be any performance-based vesting conditions, and the Parent PRSU Award shall remain eligible to vest on the last day of the performance period applicable to the Company PRSU Award (as set forth in the applicable award agreement). As of the First Effective Time, each such Parent PRSU Award as so assumed and converted shall represent the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the related Company PRSU Award as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (which shall be deemed to be equal to 125% of the "target" number of Company PRSUs Awards granted), multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration Closing Value, by (ii) the Parent Measurement Price.

(d) Non-Employee Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, each Company Equity Award held by a holder who, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any former employee and any non-employee director) (each, a "Non-Employee Holder") shall not be assumed by Parent under this Section 2.5 and shall instead become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested) and cancelled as of the First Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (including the same form of consideration payable in respect of shares of Company Common Stock), as follows: (i) each Company Option held by such Non-Employee Holder shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration otherwise payable in respect of the Net Option Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i); (ii) each Company RSU Award held by such Non-Employee Holder shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such award (determined as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time) pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i); and (iii) each Company PRSU Award held by such Non-Employee Holder shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such award as determined under clause (i) of Section 2.5(c) pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (collectively, the "Non-Employee Holder Consideration"). Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to pay through the payroll system of the Surviving Entity (to the extent applicable) to each such Non-Employee Holder the Non-Employee Holder Consideration, as applicable, less any required withholding Taxes and without interest, within ten (10) Business Days following the First Effective Time; provided that, to the extent payment within such time or on such date would trigger a Tax or a penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty. The aggregate amount required to be withheld in respect of Taxes in respect of the Non-Employee Holder Consideration shall be applied first to reduce the aggregate Merger Consideration payable in cash and then, only if and to the extent such withholding amount exceeds such cash portion, to reduce the portion of the Merger Consideration that is payable in shares of Parent Common Stock. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be withheld shall be determined based on the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Closing Date.

(e) Termination of Company Equity Award Plans. After the First Effective Time, all Company Equity Award Plans will be terminated, and no further Company Options, Company RSU Awards or Company PRSU Awards or other rights with respect to Shares will be granted thereunder.

(f) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the First Effective Time, the Company, Parent, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and the Parent Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.5 The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the First Effective Time, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Surviving Entity will be required to deliver to any Person any Shares or other Equity Interests of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any other Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options, Company RSU Awards, Company PRSU Awards or other rights with respect to Shares.

2.6 Filing of Form S-8. On the Closing Date, Parent shall file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Parent RSU Awards and Converted Parent Options assumed by Parent pursuant to Section 2.5 that are held by employees (within the meaning of Form S-8) of Parent or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the Parent RSU Awards or Converted Parent Options that are held by employees (within the meaning of Form S-8) of Parent or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and are assumed and converted in accordance with Section 2.5 remain outstanding.

2.7 Treatment of Company Warrant. The Parties agree that the Company Warrant shall be treated in accordance with the terms thereof in connection with the consummation of the Mergers.

2.8 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration, the Merger Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock and Parent Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision hereof.

5.4 No Solicitation; Board Recommendation.

(a) Each of Parent and the Company (each, a "Restricted Party") will, and each Restricted Party will cause its controlled Affiliates and its directors, officers and employees to, and instruct its other Affiliates and Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted prior to the Parties' execution and delivery hereof relating to any Acquisition Proposal or any Inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to any such Acquisition Proposal, (ii) promptly instruct each Person that has previously executed a confidentiality agreement relating to an actual or potential Acquisition Proposal and which, as of the date hereof, is in effect to return to such Restricted Party or destroy, as applicable, any non-public information previously furnished to such Person or to any Person's Representatives pursuant to such confidentiality agreement and (iii) promptly terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to such Person and its Representatives. From and after the execution and delivery hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7 and the First Effective Time, each Restricted Party will not, and each Restricted Party will not permit any of its controlled Affiliates and its directors, officers and employees to, and will instruct its other Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, discussion, offer or request (an "Inquiry") that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (B) engage in, continue, participate in, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any discussions or negotiations with any Person relating to any such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry, (C) furnish to any Person any non-public information, or afford access to the books or records, officers or employees of the Restricted Parties or its Affiliates to, any Person relating to any such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry, (D) enter into any Contract or nonbinding letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other agreement relating to any such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) (any such Contract or agreement, an "Alternative Acquisition Agreement") or any Contract requiring the Restricted Party to abandon or terminate this Agreement or fail to consummate the First Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby or (E) release or permit the release of any Person from, waive or permit the waiver of any right under, fail to enforce any provision of, or grant any consent or make any election under, any confidentiality, "standstill" or similar Contract to which the Restricted Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; provided, however, that, if the board of directors of the Restricted Party (the "Restricted Party Board") determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Restricted Party Board under applicable Law, the Restricted Party may grant a limited waiver of any standstill provision solely to the extent necessary to permit any Person to make a non-public Acquisition Proposal to the Restricted Party Board and, to the extent permitted by the other sections of this Section 5.4, thereafter negotiate and enter into any transaction in connection therewith; provided, further, that the Restricted Party notifies Parent or the Company (as applicable, the "Protected Party") in writing of such determination, and the identity of such Person, prior to the granting of such waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, a Restricted Party and its Representatives may (1) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal solely to assist the Restricted Party Board in determining whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal and (2) inform any Person that has made an Acquisition Proposal or submitted an Inquiry of the existence of this Section 5.4.

(b) From and after the execution and delivery hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7 and the First Effective Time, each Restricted Party shall promptly (and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours of receipt) notify the Protected Party if such Restricted Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives receives any (i) Inquiry that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, in each case, together with the identity of the Person making any such indication, Inquiry, Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer, and a copy of any such written indication, Inquiry, Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer (or, if delivered orally, a written summary of the material terms thereof), or any draft agreement provided by such Person. The Restricted Party shall keep the Protected Party reasonably informed in on a timely basis of the status and details of any such indication, Inquiry, Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer, including notifying the other Party in writing within thirty-six (36) hours after the occurrence of any material amendment, modification or change thereof and promptly furnishing copies of any written inquiries, correspondence and draft documentation and written summaries of any material oral inquiries or discussions.

(c) If, at any time from and after the execution and delivery hereof until the earlier to occur of the Company Stockholder Approval (if the Company is the Restricted Party) or the Parent Stockholder Approval (if Parent is the Restricted Party) (as applicable, the "Restricted Party Stockholder Approval") and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7, the Restricted Party receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.4 and the Restricted Party Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, the Restricted Party may take the following actions: (i) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and furnish to such Person non-public information with respect to the Restricted Party pursuant to such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided that (A) the Restricted Party provides written notice to the Protected Party of such determination promptly (and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) and (B) the Restricted Party will provide to the Protected Party in writing any information concerning the Restricted Party or its Affiliates provided to such other Person which was not previously provided to the Protected Party or its Affiliates or Representatives, in each case, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person.

(d) Subject to Section 5.5(e) and Section 5.5(g), from and after the execution and delivery hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7 and the First Effective Time, neither the Restricted Party Board nor any committee thereof will, or will publicly propose to, (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify the Company Board Recommendation (if the Company is the Restricted Party) or the Parent Board Recommendation (if Parent is the Restricted Party) (as applicable, the "Restricted Party Board Recommendation"), (ii) fail to include the Restricted Party Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (iii) adopt, approve, recommend, or declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) (A) take any formal action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer (other than a recommendation against such tender or exchange offer or a "stop, look and listen" communication by the Restricted Party Board (or a committee thereof) to the stockholders of the Restricted Party pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); provided that any such "stop, look and listen" communication expressly reaffirms the Restricted Party Board Recommendation), or (B) fail to recommend against any tender or exchange offer (it being understood that the Parent Board (or a committee thereof) may refrain from taking a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer until the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer in connection), (v) if an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or disclosed (other than by the commencement of a tender or exchange offer, which is subject to the foregoing clause (iv)(B)), fail to recommend against such Acquisition Proposal or fail to reaffirm in a written public communication the Restricted Party Board Recommendation within the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days following the Protected Party's written request to do so (provided that the Protected Party may make such request only once with respect to any particular Acquisition Proposal) and (B) three (3) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting (if the Company is the Restricted Party) or the Parent Stockholder Meeting (if Parent is the Restricted Party) or (vi) submit any Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto to a vote of the stockholders of such Restricted Party (each such action set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) being referred to as a "Change of Recommendation"); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of (1) the delivery by the Restricted Party to the Protected Party of any notice contemplated by this Section 5.4 or (2) any factually accurate public statement by the Restricted Party that describes the Restricted Party's receipt of an Acquisition Proposal (provided that such statement expressly reaffirms the Restricted Party Board Recommendation), will, in and of itself, constitute a Change of Recommendation.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Restricted Party Stockholder Approval, the Restricted Party Board may effect a Change of Recommendation or authorize the Restricted Party to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(f), as applicable, if and only if:

(i) the Restricted Party has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.4 that is reflected in a written definitive agreement that the Person making such Acquisition Proposal has irrevocably committed to execute concurrently with the termination of this Agreement (a "Superior Acquisition Agreement");

(ii) the Restricted Party Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that a failure of the Restricted Party Board to make a Change of Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal or authorize the Restricted Party to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(f), as applicable, in order to enter into such Superior Acquisition Agreement would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Restricted Party Board under applicable Law;

(iii) promptly following such determination and, at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Change of Recommendation or such authorization, the Restricted Party notifies the Protected Party in writing of such determination, which notice will specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, together with a copy of such written definitive Agreement, the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and explain in reasonable detail the reasons why the Restricted Party Board has made such determination;

(iv) if requested by the Protected Party, during the three (3) Business Day period following the delivery of such notice, the Restricted Party and its Representatives negotiate with the Protected Party in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that, in the event of any material revision to such Acquisition Proposal, the Restricted Party will be required to deliver a new written notice to the Protected Party and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.4(e) with respect to such new written notice prior to making any Change of Recommendation or authorizing the Restricted Party to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(f), as applicable, in order to enter into such Superior Acquisition Agreement; provided, further, that the prior notice period for any such subsequent written notice will be shortened from three (3) Business Days to two (2) Business Days; and

(v) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period (or such two (2) Business Day period, as applicable) and taking into account any changes to the terms hereof proposed by the Protected Party in writing, the Restricted Party Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that a failure of make a Change of Recommendation or authorize the Restricted Party to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(f), as applicable, in order to enter into such Superior Acquisition Agreement would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Restricted Party Board under applicable Law.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Restricted Party Stockholder Approval, the Restricted Party Board may also effect a Change of Recommendation if and only if:

(i) the Restricted Party Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that an Intervening Event with respect to such Restricted Party has occurred and that a failure of the Restricted Party Board to make a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Restricted Party Board under applicable Law;

(ii) promptly following such determination and, at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Change of Recommendation, the Restricted Party notifies the Protected Party in writing of such determination, which notice will describe such Intervening Event in reasonable detail and explain in reasonable detail the reasons why the Restricted Party Board has made such determination;

(iii) if requested by the Protected Party, during the three (3) Business Day period following the delivery of such notice, the Restricted Party and its Representatives negotiate with the Protected Party in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(iv) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period and taking into account any changes to the terms hereof proposed by the Protected Party in writing, the Restricted Party Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that the failure to make a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of by the Restricted Party Board under applicable Law.

(g) The Restricted Party agrees that any breach of, or failure to perform or comply with, this Section 5.4 by the Restricted Party Board (or any member or committee thereof) or any Affiliate or financial advisor of the Restricted Party (including any terms with which such Restricted Party is required to instruct such Affiliate or financial advisor of the Restricted Party to comply), whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of the Restricted Party, shall be a breach by the Restricted Party of this Section 5.4.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare, and Parent shall file with the SEC, the Registration Statement, which will include the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or response to SEC comments with respect thereto, will be made by Parent or the Company, as applicable, without the other's prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing the other Party and its outside counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and each Party shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the other Party; provided, however, that the Company or Parent, in connection with a Change of Recommendation, may amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (including by incorporation by reference) pursuant to a Qualifying Amendment to effect such change, and in such event, the right of approval set forth in this Section 5.5(a) shall apply only with respect to such information relating to the other Party or its business, financial condition or results of operations, and shall be subject to the right of each Party to have its board of directors' deliberations and conclusions be accurately described therein. Each of Parent and the Company will cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to its respective stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act.

Parent and the Company will also take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or Blue Sky Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the Mergers. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of the Shares as Parent may reasonably request in connection with any such actions. If at any time prior to the First Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party and each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information to be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the holders of the Company Common Stock and the holders of the Parent Common Stock.

In furtherance of the foregoing and in consultation with Parent, as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall set a preliminary record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting and commence a broker search pursuant to Section 14a-13 of the Exchange Act. The Company shall not, without the consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), adjourn or postpone, cancel, recess or reschedule, the Company Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that (i) the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting after consultation with Parent (A) if a quorum has not been established, (B) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the holders of the Company Common Stock prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting, (C) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies, if and to the extent the Company reasonably believes the requisite Company Stockholder Approval would not otherwise be obtained or (D) if required by Law; provided, however, the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned (x) to a date later than the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the Outside Date or (y) for more than ten (10) Business Days in each instance without the prior written consent of Parent and (ii) the Company shall postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting at Parent's direction for a period of up to ten (10) Business Days if (1) the Company Board has made a Change of Recommendation permitted by Section 5.4(d) within five (5) Business Days before the then-scheduled date of the Company Stockholder Meeting and (2) Parent requests such a postponement or adjournment in writing. If requested by Parent, the Company shall promptly provide all voting tabulation reports relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting that have been prepared by the Company or the Company's transfer agent, proxy solicitor or other Representative, and shall otherwise keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the status of the solicitation and any material oral or written communications from or to the holders of the Company Common Stock with respect thereto.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Parent shall duly establish a record date for and duly call, give notice of and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the "Parent Stockholder Meeting") as soon as reasonably practicable after the SEC Effective Date for the purpose of voting on the adoption of this Agreement; provided that the Parent Stockholder Meeting shall not be initially scheduled to occur later than forty-five (45) days following the SEC Effective Date. In furtherance of the foregoing and in consultation with the Company, as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing of the Registration Statement, Parent shall set a preliminary record date for the Parent Stockholder Meeting and commence a broker search pursuant to Section 14a-13 of the Exchange Act. Parent shall not, without the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), adjourn or postpone, cancel, recess or reschedule, the Parent Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that after consultation with the Company (i) Parent may postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting (A) if a quorum has not been established, (B) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which Parent has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the holders of the Parent Common Stock prior to the Parent Stockholder Meeting, (C) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies, if and to the extent Parent believes the requisite Company Stockholder Approval would not otherwise be obtained; or (D) if required by Law; provided, however, that the Parent Stockholder Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned (x) to a date later than the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the Outside Date or (y) for more than ten (10) Business Days in each instance without the prior written consent of the Company and (ii) Parent shall postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting at the Company's direction for a period of up to ten (10) Business Days if (1) the Parent Board has made a Change of Recommendation as permitted by Section 5.4(d) within five (5) Business Days before the then-scheduled date of the Parent Stockholder Meeting and (2) the Company requests such a postponement or adjournment in writing. If requested by the Company, Parent shall promptly provide all voting tabulation reports relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting that have been prepared by Parent or Parent's transfer agent, proxy solicitor or other Representative, and shall otherwise keep the Company reasonably informed regarding the status of the solicitation and any material oral or written communications from or to the holders of the Parent Common Stock with respect thereto.

(d) If the Company Board has not made a Change of Recommendation as permitted by Section 5.4(d), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval as soon as reasonably practicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, at the time of the originally scheduled date of the Company Stockholder Meeting, a quorum has not been established or the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Shares for the Company Stockholder Approval, then the Company shall, at the request of Parent (to the extent permitted by Law), adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting to a date specified by Parent; provided that the Company shall not be required pursuant to this sentence to adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting more than two (2) times or for more than ten (10) Business Days in the aggregate from the originally scheduled date of the Company Stockholder Meeting. Without the prior written consent of Parent, or as required by applicable Law, unless the Company Stockholder Meeting is also the Company's annual meeting of stockholders, the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Law to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company in connection with the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) that the Company will propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting, and the Company shall not call any special meeting of the stockholders of the Company other than the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article 7, the Company's obligations to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.5 will not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Change of Recommendation, subject to the express exceptions under this Section 5.5.

(e) If the Parent Board has not made a Change of Recommendation as permitted by Section 5.4(d), Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Parent Share Issuance, and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Parent Stockholder Approval as soon as reasonably practicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, at the time of the originally scheduled date of the Parent Stockholder Meeting, a quorum has not been established or Parent has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares for the Parent Stockholder Approval, then Parent shall, at the request of the Company (to the extent permitted by Law), adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting to a date specified by the Company; provided that Parent shall not be required pursuant to this sentence to adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting more than two (2) times or for more than ten (10) Business Days in the aggregate from the originally scheduled date of the Parent Stockholder Meeting. Without the prior written consent of the Company, or as required by applicable Law, unless the Parent Stockholder Meeting is also Parent's annual meeting of stockholders, the Parent Share Issuance will be the only matter (other than matters of procedure) that Parent will propose to be acted on by the stockholders of Parent at the Parent Stockholder Meeting, and Parent shall not call any special meeting of the stockholders of Parent other than the Parent Stockholder Meeting.

(a) For a period of at least one (1) year following the First Effective Time, Parent will provide, or will cause to be provided, to each employee of the Company who continues to be employed by a member of the Parent Group (individually, a "Continuing Employee" and collectively, "Continuing Employees") who is not covered by a Company CBA (including any collective bargaining agreement and other labor union Contracts (including all amendments thereto) that are under negotiation as of the date hereof, which become effective following the execution of this Agreement) (each a, "Non-Union Continuing Employee" and collectively, "Non-Union Continuing Employees") with (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, (ii) target cash bonus opportunity and commissions opportunity that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target cash bonus opportunity and commissions opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, (iii) target equity and equity-based compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than the equity and equity-based compensation opportunities that similarly situated employees of the Parent Group receive as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, and (iv) employee benefits (excluding deferred compensation, defined benefits, pension benefits or retiree health and welfare benefits) that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. The employment terms and conditions of each Continuing Employee whose employment is covered by a Company CBA (including any collective bargaining agreement and other labor union Contracts (including all amendments thereto) that are finalized following the execution of this Agreement) (each a, "Union Continuing Employee" and collectively, "Union Continuing Employees") shall be governed by the applicable Company CBA (or such collective bargaining agreement and other labor union Contracts (including all amendments thereto) that become effective following the execution of this Agreement).

To the extent Parent elects to have Non-Union Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents participate in its employee benefit plans, program or policies following the First Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to use commercially reasonable efforts to, treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans in which Non-Union Continuing Employees are entitled to participate to treat, the service of Non-Union Continuing Employees with the Company or any of its predecessors to the extent previously recognized by the Company as of the date hereof attributable to any period before the First Effective Time as service rendered to Parent, the Surviving Entity or any Subsidiary of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for other appropriate benefits including the applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, except that such service need not be credited (x) for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan, (y) for purposes of eligibility for, or benefit levels under, any retiree health or welfare plan or (z) to the extent crediting of such service would result in a duplication of benefits. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing conditions or actively at work or similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or required physical examinations under any health or similar plan of Parent to be waived with respect to Non-Union Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which Non-Union Continuing Employees participated as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Parent shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any deductibles paid by Non-Union Continuing Employees under any of the Company's health, dental, vision or similar plans in the plan year in which Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents are transitioned to Parent's health, dental, vision or similar plans to be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent.

(c) If requested by Parent in accordance with Section 5.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, then subject to and in accordance with the terms thereof, the Company will take the actions set forth on Section 5.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule related to certain Company Benefit Plans.

(d) Except as otherwise required under the terms of any Company CBA or applicable Law, with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, the Company shall, or Parent shall cause the Company to, pay out a pro rata portion of any annual or other short-term incentive programs in place in respect of such calendar year (the "Closing Year Bonus Programs") to the Eligible Participants (as defined below), with the amount of such bonus to be determined based on the greater of actual performance or "target" level performance as determined through the Closing (as determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith), and pro-rated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in such calendar year prior to the Closing and the denominator of which is 365 (the "Pro Rata Bonuses"). Pro Rata Bonuses shall be paid on or prior to the Company's or Parent's next regularly scheduled payroll date in the ordinary course (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing) through the payroll of the Company or the Surviving Entity. For purposes of the foregoing, "Eligible Participants" means each employee who participates in a Closing Year Bonus Program and who is employed by the Company as of the Closing.

(e) Parent hereby acknowledges that the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby will constitute a "change in control" or "change of control" (or other similar phrase) for purposes of each Company Benefit Plan. From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, be bound by, honor and comply with the terms of each employment, severance and change in control plan, policy and agreement and other Company Benefit Plan listed in Section 5.8(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(f) Following the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates, to be bound by, comply with, and honor the terms of each of the Company CBAs and assume all obligations with respect to the Company Union Matters to the extent required by applicable Law, until such time as another collective bargaining agreement with respect to the craft or class of employees covered by the collective bargaining agreement takes effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8, Parent further agrees that the provisions of this Section 5.8 shall not be construed in any matter that would violate any applicable provisions of any Company CBA or applicable Law in respect of the Union Continuing Employees.

This Agreement is not intended to amend any Company Benefit Plan.

(h) Within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall take the actions specified on Section 5.1(b)(xi)(11) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

From and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guarantee and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.9.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the First Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Entity shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing or any related expenses) each current and former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request of or for the benefit of the Company Group (or directors or officers of a member of the Company Group to the extent serving as fiduciaries with respect to any Company Benefit Plan) when acting in such capacity, in each case, at or prior to the First Effective Time (each, together with such Person's heirs, executors or administrators, and successors and assigns, an "Indemnified Party") against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys' fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Action to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law following receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such advanced amounts if it is ultimately determined by final and non-appealable adjudication that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.9(b)), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, obligations, costs, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an "Action"), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the First Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with any such Indemnified Party serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries). In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from and after the First Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers or provide substitute policies for the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in either case, of not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the First Effective Time (regardless of when such claims are brought) (with insurance carriers having at least an "A" rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance), except that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Entity be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies more than 250% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the "Maximum Amount"). If the Surviving Entity is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 5.9(c) because its cost exceeds the Maximum Amount, it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six (6)-year period for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Closing Date, the Company may, at its option purchase, or Parent may, at its option request that the Company purchase, a six (6)-year prepaid "tail" directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance policy for the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries, such tail policy to provide coverage in an amount not less than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the First Effective Time; provided that the annual premiums payable for such "tail" policy shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. Parent and the Surviving Entity shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d) In the event Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision will be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

(e) The obligations under this Section 5.9 will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee or other persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.9(c) (and their respective heirs and representatives) to whom this Section 5.9 applies without the prior written consent of such affected indemnitee or other person who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.9(c) (and their respective heirs and representatives) (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 5.9 applies will be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9). The rights of the Indemnified Parties (and other persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.9(c) pursuant to this Section 5.9 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have pursuant to (i) the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws, (ii) the similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company, (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company or its Subsidiaries or (iv) applicable law (whether at law or in equity). Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing this Section 5.9 (subject to the undertakings described in Section 5.9(b)).

(f) The obligations of the Surviving Entity, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.9 will be joint and several.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers' insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company for any of its directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

(h) Within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to Parent an updated Company Equity Award Census which includes the vesting schedule for the Company Equity Awards included in the Company Equity Award Census.

5.10 State Takeover Laws. If any "control share acquisition," "fair price," "business combination" or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Subs or the Mergers, including the acquisition of Shares pursuant thereto or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company Board will take all action necessary to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing, and if any anti-takeover Law becomes applicable to the Mergers, take all action within their power to ensure that the Mergers may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize or make inapplicable the effect of such statute or regulation on the Mergers.

Each of Parent and the Company shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (A) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Mergers, taken together, to constitute a transaction qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment and (B) not take any action, or fail to take any action, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from constituting a transaction qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the Parties adopt this Agreement as, a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) and for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. Unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of Parent and the Company (and their respective Affiliates) shall report the Mergers, taken together, as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and shall not take any inconsistent position therewith in any Tax Return.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with one another to obtain (i) any opinion, including opinions from counsel to each of Parent and the Company, required by the SEC regarding the Intended Tax Treatment to be prepared and submitted in connection with the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the "SEC Opinions") and (ii) any opinion requested by a Party from its counsel regarding the Intended Tax Treatment (a "Tax Opinion"). In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties agree that Parent, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and the Company shall deliver to counsel to each of Parent and the Company an executed tax representation letter (collectively, the "Tax Representation Letters"), substantially in the form attached here as Exhibit A-1 or A-2, as applicable, as of such dates as may be reasonably requested by such counsel in connection with the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the Closing. Parent and the Company shall further use reasonable best efforts to provide such other information as may be reasonably requested by the applicable counsel for purposes of rendering the SEC Opinions and any Tax Opinion. Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts not to take or cause to be taken any action that would cause to be untrue (or fail to take or cause not to be taken any action which would cause to be untrue) any of the certifications, covenants and representations included in the Tax Representation Letters described in this Section 5.16(c).

(d) For purposes of determining whether the "continuity of interest requirement" described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-1(e) has been satisfied with respect to the Mergers, taken together, the parties shall determine the value of each share of Parent Common Stock to be received by the holders of Shares using (i) the Safe Harbor Valuation Method specified in paragraph (1) of Section 4.01 of IRS Rev. Proc. 2018-12, (ii) a "Measuring Period" (as defined in Section 4.02 of IRS Rev. Proc. 2018-12) of five (5) consecutive trading days that ends three (3) trading days before the last business day before the date of this Agreement, and (iii) the price per share of Parent Common Stock on Nasdaq as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative reporting source mutually selected by Parent and the Company and satisfying the requirements of IRS Rev. Proc. 2018-12).

(b) Nothing in this Section 5.17 will require the Company Group to (i) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, pay any commitment fee or similar fee or agree to pay any other fees or reimburse any expenses or otherwise issue or provide any indemnities prior to the First Effective Time for which it has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise indemnified by or on behalf of Parent, (ii) enter into, approve, modify or perform any definitive agreement or commitment or distribute any cash (except to the extent subject to concurrent reimbursement by Parent) that will be effective prior to the Closing (other than customary authorization letters in connection any the Debt Financing), (iii) give any indemnities in connection with any Debt Financing that are effective prior to the First Effective Time and only to the extent previously agreed in writing by the Company, (iv) take any action that, in the good faith determination of the Company, would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company Group or create an unreasonable risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company Group, (v) provide any authorization letters, presentations, memoranda or other materials or documents used in the connection with any Debt Financing with respect to which any of the Company Group or their respective Representatives provided cooperation pursuant to their obligation under this Section 5.17 or any of such documents or materials containing information based on financial information or data derived from the Company Group's historical books and records, in all cases, (x) which does not include language that exculpates the Company Group and their respective Representatives and Affiliates from any liability in connection with the unauthorized use or misuse by the recipients thereof of all such presentations, memoranda and other materials and documents and information set forth therein, and (y) which the Company and its Representatives have not been given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, (vi) prepare separate financial statements for any of the Company Group to the extent not customarily prepared by the Company Group and to the extent such preparation would be unduly burdensome or change any fiscal period, (vii) adopt any resolutions, execute any consents or otherwise take any corporate or similar action to be effective prior to the Closing, (viii) provide any legal opinion prior to the Closing or (ix) take any action that will conflict with or violate its organizational documents or any applicable laws or would result in a material violation or breach of, or default under, any material agreement to which any member of the Company Group is a party. In addition, (A) no action, liability or obligation of the Company Group or any of its Representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to any Debt Financing (other than customary authorization letters (including with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information and the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure and marketing materials related to any Debt Financing based on financial information and data derived from the Company's historical books and records)) will be effective until the First Effective Time, and the Company Group will not be required to take any action pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument (other than customary authorization letters (including with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information and the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure and marketing materials related to any Debt Financing based on financial information and data derived from the Company's historical books and records)) that is not contingent on the occurrence of the Closing or that must be effective prior to the First Effective Time; and (B) any bank information memoranda required in relation to any Debt Financing will contain disclosure reflecting Parent or its Affiliate, the Surviving Entity or its Subsidiaries as the obligor.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to be an issuer or obligor with respect to any Debt Financing, under any contractual provision that is effective prior to the First Effective Time.

(c) All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent will be permitted to disclose such information to any Financing Sources of Parent or prospective Financing Sources of Parent and other financial institutions and investors that may become parties to any Debt Financing (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors) so long as such Persons (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if parties thereto; or (ii) are subject to other confidentiality undertakings reasonably satisfactory to the Company and of which the Company is a beneficiary.

(d) Promptly upon request by the Company, Parent will reimburse the Company (or cause the Company to be reimbursed) for any documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees of one outside counsel) incurred by the Company Group in connection with the cooperation of the Company Group contemplated by this Section 5.17; provided that, such reimbursement shall not include costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of any historical financial statements or data that would be prepared by the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Representatives notwithstanding this Section 5.17.

(f) Parent and Merger Subs acknowledge and agree that obtaining Debt Financing is not a condition to the Closing. Except in the case of a willful and material breach, which breach is the primary cause of any Debt Financing not being obtained, that has not been cured by the Company within a reasonable period of time after Parent has provided written notice to the Company of the specific breach, the Company's breach of this Section 5.17 will not be asserted as the basis for (A) any conditions set forth in Article 6 to consummate the Merger having not been satisfied or waived or (B) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g). If Debt Financing has not been obtained, Parent and Merger Subs will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 8, to consummate the Mergers.

(b) receipt of any written notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity (except for any notice or communication contemplated by Section 5.6) or Nasdaq in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) the occurrence of an event that would or would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Closing or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) result in the failure of any condition in Article 6 to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice under this Section 5.19 shall not limit or otherwise affect the Parties' respective rights and remedies available hereunder and no information delivered under this Section 5.19 shall, or shall be deemed to, update any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule or otherwise qualify or modify any of the Parties' respective representations and warranties hereunder;

provided, however, that any Party's breach of, or failure to perform or comply with its obligations under, this Section 5.19 shall not be considered a breach of, or a failure to perform or comply with, a covenant or agreement hereunder for purposes of Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.3(b), as applicable.

8.14 Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.

The pursuit of specific enforcement or other equitable remedy by any Party will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled at any time, subject to the limitations or remedies set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Subs, on the other hand, hereby agrees not to raise any objection to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement on the basis that there is adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.14, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Each Party further agrees that by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 8.14, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement, and nothing set forth in this Section 8.14 shall require any Party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any Party's rights to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 8.14 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 7, nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.14 or anything set forth in this Section 8.14 restrict or limit any Party's right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 7.

Investor Conference Call Scheduled for Monday, January 12 at 8:30 AM Eastern Time

LAS VEGAS and MINNEAPOLIS - (PRNewswire) - Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) and Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ: SNCY) today announced a definitive merger agreement under which Allegiant will acquire Sun Country in a cash and stock transaction at an implied value of $18.89 per Sun Country share. Sun Country shareholders will receive 0.1557 shares of Allegiant common stock and $4.10 in cash for each Sun Country share owned, representing a premium of 19.8% over Sun Country's closing share price of $15.77 on January 9, 2026, and 18.8% based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price. The transaction values Sun Country at approximately $1.5 billion, inclusive of $0.4 billion of Sun Country's net debt. Upon closing, Allegiant and Sun Country shareholders will own approximately 67% and 33%, respectively, of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

The combination will create a leading leisure-focused U.S. airline, expanding service to more popular vacation destinations across the United States, as well as international destinations, and providing more people with access to affordable, convenient air travel. Allegiant and Sun Country are well positioned to create one of the most adaptable and resilient airline models in the industry, with the ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions, traveler demand, and charter and cargo partner needs. The combination of two financially strong leisure carriers in the U.S. will create benefits for customers, communities, employees, and partners by enhancing stability, expanding opportunities, and enabling continued investment and innovation.

Gregory C. Anderson, Allegiant CEO, said, "This combination is an exciting next chapter in Allegiant and Sun Country's shared mission in providing affordable, reliable, and convenient service from underserved communities to premier leisure destinations. We have long admired Sun Country for their well-run, flexible, and diversified business model that optimizes for year-round utilization and strong margins. Together, our complementary networks will expand our reach to more vacation destinations including international locations. With our combined strengths- including operational excellence, consistent profitability, strong balance sheets, and fleet ownership, we will create an even more resilient and agile airline that delivers greater value to travelers, partners, Team Members, shareholders, and the communities we serve."

Jude Bricker, Sun Country President & CEO, said, "Over Sun Country's 43-year history, we have grown to become one of the nation's most respected low-cost, leisure airlines with a unique business model for serving scheduled service and charter passengers as well as delivering cargo, with a strong brand and deep roots in Minnesota. Today marks an exciting next step in our history as we join Allegiant to create one of the leading leisure travel companies in the U.S. We are two customer-centric organizations, deeply committed to delivering affordable travel experiences without compromising on quality. Importantly, we believe this transaction delivers significant value to Sun Country shareholders and an opportunity to continue to benefit from our growth plans as a combined company."

A Shared Commitment to Affordable Leisure Travel for Our Combined 22 Million Annual Passengers

Both Allegiant and Sun Country have built their businesses with a focus on connecting travelers to the places they love, with a commitment to value, convenience, and customer choice. The combined airline will offer:

•

Complementary footprint provides more destinations, more often: The combination brings together complementary route networks across Allegiant's small and mid-sized localities and Sun Country's larger cities and will provide more than 650 routes, including 551 Allegiant routes and 105 Sun Country routes. This combination will connect MSP to Allegiant's mid-sized markets, and expand nonstop service to popular vacation spots, with a continued focus on underserved markets across the U.S. while expanding opportunities into international locations.

•

Expanded international service: With access to Sun Country's vast international network across Mexico, Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean, the combined airline will offer Allegiant customers access to expanded service from its small and mid-sized cities to 18 international destinations.

•

Greater scheduling agility, improved reliability, and dynamic route planning enhance on-time performance: Integrated scheduling and fleet management will enhance on-time performance. The combined airline's flexible capacity will match demand during peak leisure travel seasons and days of the week, while leveraging year-round charter and cargo operations to maximize profitability. By rapidly adjusting and expanding passenger and charter routes to support emerging vacation trends and expertly matching demand trends, the combined company can better service underserved markets and meet charter and cargo customer demands.

•

Enhanced loyalty rewards program: Expanded frequent flyer and membership benefits, combining the best of both airlines' programs. Adding Sun Country's more than 2 million members to Allegiant's 21 million member base further enhances the relevance of the combined program, driving greater customer rewards.

Opportunities for Our Teams Flying Together

Allegiant and Sun Country share cultures rooted in respect, teamwork, and opportunity, where employees are empowered to grow their careers and contribute to a mission they believe in: connecting communities and helping travelers reach the places they love. As part of a leading leisure-focused airline, employees will have increased opportunities, including:

•

Career growth: A larger network and fleet will create new roles, advancement opportunities, and cross-training possibilities across the combined airline.

•

Shared culture of service: Both airlines' emphasis on safety, hospitality, and affordable leisure travel will remain central to training, operations, and customer care.

•

Seasonal stability: In addition to expanded leisure travel opportunities, the combined airline's diversified operations, including Sun Country's long-term charter contracts and cargo partnerships, will create more year-round flying opportunities for pilots, crews, and operations personnel. This stability supports career growth, cross-training, and operational efficiency across the network.

•

Employee engagement: Continued investment in programs that support professional development and recognition of team member contributions.

Allegiant and Sun Country will work closely with employees and their unions - including pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, ground staff, and dispatchers - to ensure a smooth and transparent integration process. Existing collective bargaining agreements will remain in effect, and the companies will follow all processes required under the Railway Labor Act. Both companies share a goal to support employees throughout the transition, creating a unified team for the future.

Creating Outsized, Long-Term Value for Shareholders

The combination of Allegiant and Sun Country brings together two profitable airlines with strong balance sheets and is expected to deliver immediate and sustained value to shareholders of both companies through significant long-term growth potential and enhanced financial strength, including:

•

Synergy realization: Allegiant expects to achieve $140 million in annual synergies within three years following the closing and integration, primarily driven by the ability to provide more customers with more options across the combined network. Expected cost savings and revenue synergies are also expected from scale efficiencies, fleet optimization, and procurement.

•

EPS accretion: Transaction expected to be accretive to earnings per share one year post closing, while enhancing long-term financial results.

•

Balance sheet flexibility and leverage: The combined company expects Net Adjusted Debt¹ to EBITDAR of less than 3.0x at closing and to maintain balance sheet flexibility post-closing.

•

Diversified operations: Sun Country remains a major narrow-body freighter operator in the U.S., with its multi-year agreement with Amazon Prime Air, as well as its charter contracts with casinos, Major League Soccer, collegiate sports teams, and the Department of Defense. With the addition of Allegiant's existing charter business, the combined airline will benefit from a further diversified business model that balances demand cycles, provides stable revenue streams, and maximizes aircraft and crew utilization.

•

Enhanced fleet optimization and leverage: Owning and operating both Airbus and Boeing aircraft - with the ability to source additional aircraft from new and existing markets - will enable the company to deploy aircraft where they deliver the greatest operational and financial benefit. The combined airline will have the scale to more fully utilize Allegiant's 737 MAX fleet and order book, improving fuel efficiency and capacity. On closing, the combined airline will operate approximately 195 aircraft, with 30 on order and an additional 80 options.

¹ Adjusted Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDAR defined as (Total Debt + Operating Leases - Cash) / LTM Adjusted EBITDAR.

•

Financial resilience through economic cycles: The combined airline's diversified revenue streams, including its high ancillary revenues and long-term contracts in cargo and charter that are able to pass through fuel risk to the end customer, are expected to provide greater resilience through economic cycles.

Leadership, Governance, and Footprint

Following close, Allegiant will continue to be the publicly held parent company and the combined company will continue under the Allegiant name. However, each airline will operate separately until the airline operations obtain a single operating certificate from the FAA which consolidates the airlines' operations, procedures, and safety protocols into one framework. There will be no immediate impact to ticketing, flight schedules, and travel experience, or the Sun Country brand, and customers can continue to book and fly with Allegiant and with Sun Country as they do today.

Upon closing, Allegiant CEO Gregory C. Anderson will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company, and Robert Neal will serve as President and Chief Financial Officer. Sun Country President and CEO Jude Bricker will join the Board of Directors, alongside two additional Sun Country Board members, expanding the size of the Allegiant board to 11. Maury Gallagher, Chairman of the Board of Allegiant, will serve as Chairman of the Board of the combined company. Jude Bricker will serve as an advisor to Mr. Anderson to help ensure a smooth and successful integration.

The combined company will be headquartered in Las Vegas and will maintain a significant presence in Minneapolis-St. Paul where Sun Country is based.

Timing and Approvals

The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to receipt of U.S. federal antitrust clearance and other required regulatory approvals, the approval of both companies' shareholders and other customary closing conditions.

Investor Conference Call and Transaction Website Details

Allegiant and Sun Country will conduct a live conference call and webcast to discuss the transaction tomorrow, January 12, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET. A live broadcast of the conference call will be available via the Company's Investor Relations website homepage at http://ir.allegiantair.com.

Creating a Leading, More Competitive Leisure-Focused U.S. Airline

ALLEGIANT CEO

•

Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us today.

•

My name is Greg Anderson, and I am the CEO of Allegiant.

[Text on screen]

Greg Anderson

CEO of Allegiant Travel Company

ALLEGIANT CEO

•

I'm excited to share some important news about the future of our airlines.

•

We've announced that Allegiant will acquire Sun Country - bringing together two carriers with similar flexible capacity models, complementary networks, and a shared commitment to connecting travelers to the places they love.

•

Jude and I have known each other for a long time and have great mutual respect for one another and the team members at both companies. We - and these airlines - are cut from the same cloth in many ways, which is one reason we think this combination makes a lot of sense.

•

Let me begin by saying both Allegiant and Sun Country team members should take great pride in what we have built as independent companies. An airline is the ultimate team sport, and we have both established ourselves as leaders in affordable leisure travel with our flexible capacity models.

•

Our businesses are strategically aligned. Together, we will have more resources and greater flexibility to further strengthen our important role in North America's leisure travel market, delivering value to travelers, partners, team members, shareholders, and the communities we serve.

•

First, our complementary route networks and diversified fleets will expand choice and improve service for customers. Together, we'll offer more frequent service to more popular vacation spots across the U.S., as well as select international destinations, providing more people with access to affordable, convenient air travel.

•

Second, the combination of Allegiant's scheduled service and charter operations with Sun Country's long-term charter and cargo partnerships and their deep roots in Minneapolis creates a more diversified and adaptable airline. These operations balance demand cycles, provide stable revenue streams, and increase aircraft and crew utilization throughout the year.

•

Third, we are both doing this from a position of strength and together forming an even more resilient airline. By combining our two carriers - each known for outstanding operational performance, loyal customer bases, consistent profitability, and strong balance sheets - we will achieve greater scale and resources. This will enable us to further reinvest in the business and our team members, expand our network, and be the clear leader in affordable travel.

President & CEO of Sun Country Airlines

SUN COUNTRY CEO

•

I am thrilled to be here with Greg to announce this incredible milestone.

•

For over 40 years, Sun Country has been one of the country's leading low-cost airlines, flying our guests to their favorite people and places.

•

We are founded in Minneapolis and have been an integral part of life in Minnesota ever since. By coming together with Allegiant, we'll be better-positioned to deliver for our team, guests, and communities - now and long into the future.

•

I've had the privilege of working with both airlines and I can say with confidence that this combination is an exceptional fit in every way - for our customers, our employees, and our communities.

•

In fact, Sun Country's first ever flight landed in Las Vegas, Allegiant's headquarters.

•

For our guests, we will bring you even more nonstop flight options to new destinations for leisure travel without compromising on cost and service excellence across our two iconic airlines.

•

We will maintain our significant presence in Minneapolis and offer expanded loyalty rewards.

•

For our employees, we will be part of a larger, national airline with more flights, more investment in you, and more opportunities for career development and cross-training possibilities.

•

For our communities - in Minnesota and beyond - we'll be an even stronger partner, with more flights in and out of Minneapolis-St. Paul and an unwavering dedication to making a positive impact here at home.

•

We are building a stronger airline together, greater than the sum of our parts, and I can't wait for what's to come.

ALLEGIANT CEO

•

That's right, Jude. While our corporate headquarters will remain in Las Vegas, we are proud to continue Sun Country's deep roots in Minneapolis, where the combined company will maintain a significant presence.

•

Just as Sun Country is vital to Minneapolis, Allegiant offers similarly important services to the 125 communities we serve. We greatly value the strong relationships that exist between an airline and its community.

•

Now, today's announcement is just the first step in the process.

•

Until the transaction closes, which is expected in the second half of 2026, we'll continue to operate as separate and independent companies, focused on delivering the reliable service and value that our customers expect.

•

As we move toward closing, we'll solidify our integration plans. We look forward to working closely with our team members and their unions - including pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, ground staff, dispatchers, and our nonunion team members - to ensure a smooth and transparent integration. We're committed to communicating updates throughout the process.

•

We encourage you to visit the website we've created www.SoaringForLeisure.com where we've posted additional information and will provide further updates as we work together toward completing the transaction.

•

This is an exciting chapter for our companies. Together, we look forward to creating one of the most adaptable and resilient airline models in the industry - better positioned to deliver even more benefits for travelers, team members, and the communities we serve.

•

Thank you.

Allegiant All-Employee Note

Subject: Exciting News: Allegiant to Acquire Sun Country

FROM: Gregory C. Anderson, Allegiant CEO

Team Allegiant,

I'm reaching out to share exciting news - moments ago, we announced that Allegiant has reached an agreement to acquire Sun Country.

I want to take this opportunity to share directly with you why I am so excited for our path forward and what this means for our team at Allegiant.

A hallmark of our success is reflected in the special airline we have built over the years, as a team. By pioneering the low utilization, flexible capacity model, we have established ourselves as a leader in affordable leisure travel throughout the U.S.

Last year, as part of our broader strategy, we took some steps to reinforce our airline's foundation. On the organizational side, we streamlined our corporate structure by divesting Sunseeker and returning our focus solely to the airline business. Commercially, we updated our technology and enhanced our product lineup with initiatives like Allegiant Extra. Financially, we made significant improvements to our balance sheet and delivered strong returns. Operationally, we restored peak day flying, introduced our new MAX fleet, and achieved our best operational performance in our company's history. Your exceptional efforts truly solidified our leadership position in our segment of the industry and created this opportunity for us to grow.

So why acquire another carrier at this time? In our industry, size, scale, and relevancy have their advantages. Currently, five airlines control approximately 85 percent of the domestic market,

The remaining domestic market is served by seven airlines, with a primary focus on offering affordable fares for leisure travelers. Since the onset of the pandemic, most of these carriers have faced significant financial difficulties and losses - except for Sun Country and our company, both of which have consistently reported positive earnings. Our decision to acquire Sun Country is both logical and strategic, as it will enhance our overall performance, boost our ability to grow, and firmly establish us as the clear leader in our sector in the industry. The combination will bring together two airlines with complementary route networks, strong operations, and shared values. By joining forces, we'll be able to offer customers more destinations and more frequent service, strengthen our year-round flying through expanded charter and cargo operations, and create new opportunities for our people as part of a larger, more diversified airline.

Another positive feature, there is no overlap between our bases. This independence will minimize the traditional friction that has occurred in past other airline combinations. Allegiant will be the brand of the combined airline following the issuance of a single operating certificate from the FAA which consolidates the airlines' operations, procedures, and safety protocols into one framework. For all these reasons, we are confident that adding Sun Country will substantially enhance our stature and strength against other competitors.

This is an exciting moment in Allegiant's history, but it's important to note that nothing changes right now. Until the transaction closes and all necessary approvals are received - which we expect to occur in the second half of 2026 - Allegiant and Sun Country will continue to operate as separate companies. It is business as usual. Our priorities remain the same: to continue to operate a great airline and to take care of our customers and one another.

As the acquiring airline, it's important we handle this process with professionalism, humility, and respect toward our future colleagues. Sun Country runs a solid operation with talented people. In many ways, we are cut from the same cloth. Given the close connections between our two companies, I am confident that together, we will build an even stronger airline.

Once the transaction closes - which we expect in the second half of 2026 - I will continue to lead the combined company as CEO, BJ will remain President & CFO, together with our Allegiant senior leadership team. The company's headquarters will remain in Las Vegas and we will maintain a significant presence in Minneapolis-St. Paul, honoring Sun Country's deep roots there.

Integration planning will take place over time through our Integration Management Office (IMO), which will be led by Michael Broderick, Chief Integration Officer. Michael will begin building a dedicated integration team with representatives from both organizations in the coming weeks.

As this work progresses, we won't have every answer immediately - and that's expected. We will take a thoughtful, deliberate approach to all parts of the integration and communicate clearly and transparently. You will continue to hear directly from me and the leadership team as plans develop and milestones are reached.

I know announcements like this naturally create questions and uncertainty. That's normal. Our commitment is to be open, honest, and consistent with you. To learn more about this exciting milestone, please join me and members of the senior leadership team for an Allegiant Town Hall on Monday, details to come.

You can find the press release with today's announcement on our dedicated joint microsite, which we will continue to keep updated with information on the transaction. Today's announcement will also likely generate significant interest from all of our key stakeholders.

If you receive any inquiries about this from the media, please direct them to Sonya Padgett at [email protected]. Investor inquiries should be directed to Sherry Wilson at [email protected], and any government affairs inquiries should go to Drew Teitelbaum at [email protected].

Thank you for your professionalism and commitment and for all you do every day. I'm proud of this team, and I'm confident in what we can build together.

Together We Fly, Gregory C. Anderson

Together, we believe we can create a stronger airline, one that is better positioned to serve our customers, communities, and employees over the long term.

Jude began his career at Allegiant, and that foundation has clearly shaped the thoughtful, people-first leader he is today. We hold him and your team in the highest regard, not only for operational excellence, but for the integrity and care you bring to work every day.

As our leadership teams have spent time together, it has become clear that our two companies share a remarkably similar culture, grounded in mutual respect and a deep commitment to our customers and employees. That shared foundation will be critical to building a strong, unified airline and will position the combined company for long-term success.

Any future decisions will be communicated transparently and with respect for our employees and applicable agreements. Over the coming weeks and months, we will engage openly with employees, union representatives, and regulators, sharing information as decisions are made. We are committed to listening, communicating clearly, and treating everyone fairly and respectfully as we move forward.

We will be in touch again soon, and I look forward to meeting many of you in person. Looking ahead, I will join Jude in-person for a town hall to share more about the combination and what it means for employees and the future.

We look forward to working with Jude and the Sun Country executive team to complete the transaction and to welcoming you to Allegiant.

Sincerely,

Gregory C. Anderson

CEO of Allegiant

Exhibit 99.7

Unions

1.	Why is Allegiant acquiring Sun Country?

•

Bringing the two airlines together results in a stronger combined entity, creates meaningful value for both customers and employees and makes good business sense.

•

Both airlines have unique business models and are positioned to create one of the most adaptable and resilient airlines in the industry, with the ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions, traveler demand and cargo customer needs. The two airlines have highly complementary route networks with no significant overlap which means expanded choices for customers. The complementary route networks between the two airlines also means less disruption in the lives of our pilots and flight attendants.

•

Both airlines match capacity to peak leisure travel periods, the year-round cargo operations, and the considerable charter service of both airlines will enable us to maintain utilization and profitability during off-peak passenger seasons.

•

In addition to continuing to fly our existing fleet of A320 aircraft, combining Allegiant's Boeing 737 MAX fleet with Sun Country's 737-800s fleet will provide operational and financial benefits (having owned aircraft rather than leased aircraft), both in passenger and cargo service. The fleet commonality for the Boeing 737 aircraft plus our existing A320 aircraft gives the combined airline a great of flexibility in matching fleet types with specific markets.

2.	What will be the name of the combined airline?

•

Following close, Allegiant will be the publicly held parent company and the combined airline will continue under the Allegiant name. However, each airline will operate separately until the airline operations obtain a single operating certificate from the FAA which consolidates the airlines' operations, procedures, and safety protocols into one framework. There will be no immediate impact to ticketing, flight schedules, travel experience, or the Sun Country brand, and customers can continue to book and fly with Allegiant and with Sun Country as they do today.

3.	Who will run the merged airline?

•

The existing Allegiant leadership team will run the merged airline.

4.	Will everyone have a job after the transaction and where will headquarters be located?

•

Headquarters of the merged airline will be in Las Vegas, where Allegiant is currently headquartered. We will maintain a significant presence in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

•

We won't have a definitive answer regarding job retention until later in the process. Since the transaction is designed to increase the size of the airline, we do not expect any reductions to front-line positions. There may be some redundant positions on the corporate side, while other positions may be relocated to Las Vegas. We value all of those individuals who helped build these airlines and who will continue to help with the integration. For employees who will not remain with the airline long-term or who cannot relocate to Las Vegas, we are developing retention and severance plans to support them through the transition.

5.	Where will the SOC be located?

•

The SOC will be in Las Vegas. We will also be developing retention and moving expenses policies for affected employees. We will determine what the impact will be on Sun Country dispatchers and negotiate moving expenses and other related relocation issues with the TWU as appropriate.

6.	Will you commit that no employees will be furloughed?

•

We have no plans to furlough any front-line employees as part of the acquisition, as this process is designed to grow the airline. However, any determination regarding "no furlough" commitments will be made as the agreement approaches finalization. The airline industry as a whole, but especially the value market, is volatile and subject to unpredictable external events that directly affect whether airlines must resort to furloughs. While it is always our goal to avoid furloughs whenever possible, any "no furlough" commitments must take into account those realities and will be made with the knowledge of how past crises have impacted the industry.

7.	Will you keep aircraft and employees separated until there is an operational merger?

•

Allegiant and Sun Country will remain separate entities and operate business as usual. Post-close, decisions on where aircraft are operated will be based on where we are flying, where the aircraft can be best utilized, our order and option book with Boeing, which bases are best matched for the aircraft being flown, and the terms of the applicable contracts.

8.	Will the company be adding or closing any domiciles?

•

The good news is the acquisition plan does not anticipate any overlap of domiciles. Decisions regarding the opening of new domiciles and closing any existing domiciles will be made based on where we think the best opportunities exist to serve our customers and communities, generate revenue, make sure our domiciles are the appropriate size and scale, and be profitable.

9.	How will each airline's various systems be merged (e.g., HRIS, crew pay, time and attendance, etc.)?

•

All decisions regarding the integration of the airline's systems will be made after closing and we have properly assessed the systems we want to use at the combined airline.

10.	Will you commit to reimbursing expenses for union groups generated because of the transaction, such as for outside labor counsel, union leadership meetings with the company, E-Board/MEC meetings, and outside counsel for seniority integration?

•

We will consider any reasonable request made to us by the unions. Until we have a chance to sit down with the unions and understand their interests, any answer to that question is premature.

11.	Will you provide counsel and funds to non-union groups to protect their seniority and other interests?

•

Yes. We are not going to leave any front-line non-union employee group without the same protection as the unionized groups. As with the unionized employee groups, we will consider any reasonable request in this regard.

12.	Will you increase pay or at least move all employees to the higher pay rates that exist at each airline?

•

No decisions have been made about pay. We must negotiate any proposed changes with the bargaining representatives at both carriers.

13.	Will the company continue negotiating with the unions with amendable contracts?

•

For negotiations that are in mediation with the National Mediation Board (NMB), we will consult with the NMB at the appropriate time. The schedule of mediation is set by the NMB and the appointed mediator. We are committed to that process and will follow the NMB's direction. For employee groups in direct negotiations that are not presently in mediation, we will meet with union leadership to decide what is best for the company and employees.

14.	When will the company begin negotiating joint collective bargaining agreements?

•

Negotiations for joint collective bargaining agreements typically begin after the NMB makes a "single carrier" determination and resolves any potential representation disputes. Once that occurs, we will continue to talk with the NMB (for any negotiations currently in mediation) and union leadership about the process that makes the most sense for both our employees and the company.

15.	When will the retention bonus be paid out to Allegiant pilots?

•

Currently, the agreement between Allegiant and IBT regarding the pilot retention bonus provides that the bonus will be paid once a new CBA is ratified. Any modification to that agreement requires negotiation with the union to change those terms.

16.	When will pass travel be addressed by Allegiant so employees of both airlines can fly on the other's flights?

•

All policies will be reviewed to create one set of policies, including the important issue of pass travel.

Allegiant Customer Email

From: Allegiant

Subject: A Message from Allegiant CEO, Gregory C. Anderson

Dear [NAME],

Today, I'm excited to share some important news about the future of Allegiant. We have reached an agreement to acquire Sun Country, bringing together two carriers who have built their businesses around connecting travelers to the places they love, with a focus on value, convenience, and customer choice.

This combination is about creating more opportunities for customers to travel where, when, and how you want - more destinations, more affordable fares, and even better service, while maintaining the values and reliability you expect from Allegiant. The combined airline is expected to bring you:

•

An expanded network serving nearly 175 destinations across the U.S. and international locations.

•

More frequent flights to popular vacation spots and leisure destinations from origin cities that have been underserved.

•

Continued affordable fares with even greater choice and flexibility.

•

A stronger loyalty program with more ways to earn and redeem rewards across a larger network.

•

Enhanced reliability and service through better scheduling, fleet coordination, and operational efficiencies.

Today's announcement is the first step in a process that will take time. Until the transaction closes, Allegiant and Sun Country will continue to operate as separate and independent airlines. There will be no immediate impact to ticketing, flight schedules, travel experience, or the Sun Country brand, and you can continue to book and fly with Allegiant and with Sun Country as they do today.

If you are an Allegiant Rewards member, you will continue to earn and redeem rewards as usual, and all your current benefits remain in place. Over time, we look forward to combining the best of both loyalty programs to bring you even more value.

You can read more about today's announcement, and we'll share further details in the months ahead as things progress.

Thank you for your loyalty to Allegiant. We're excited to begin this next chapter and look forward to welcoming you onboard - to more destinations than ever before.

Sincerely,

Gregory C. Anderson
