The Merger Agreement

Parent and Parent Merger Sub are backed by equity commitments from investment vehicles managed or advised by affiliates of Sixth Street Partners, LLC. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.
As a result of the Transaction, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, among other things, each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than (w) Ordinary Shares owned by Parent, Parent Merger Sub, the Issuer or their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries, (x) all Reinvesting Shares, (y) all Ordinary Shares subject to the Issuer's equity awards (other than Company Restricted Shares) and (z) all Ordinary Shares that were Dissenting Shares), was converted into the right to receive a total of $338 in cash, without interest.

In connection with the Closing, the Issuer notified representatives of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") that the Mergers had been completed and requested that NASDAQ suspend trading of the Ordinary Shares. In addition, the Issuer requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section12(b) of the Exchange Act on Form 25 (the "Ordinary Shares Form 25") to effect the delisting of the Ordinary Shares and the deregistration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
On July 2, 2025, the Issuer also notified representatives of NASDAQ of its determination to voluntarily withdraw its depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000th interest in a 7.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Share, Series D, par value $1.00 per share, and its depositary shares, each representing a 7.00% Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Share, Series E, par value $1.00 per share (collectively, the "Depositary Shares") from listing on NASDAQ and registration pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and its intention to file a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the SEC (the "Depositary Shares Form 25" and together with the Ordinary Shares Form 25, the "Form 25s")on or about July 14, 2025, relating to delisting and deregistering of the Depositary Shares.
Following the effectiveness of the Form 25s, the Issuer intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of Ordinary Shares and the Depositary Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Such deregistration of the Ordinary Shares and the Depositary Shares will become effective 90 days after the filing of the applicable Form 25, or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC. The Issuer's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately upon the filing of Form 15.
