However, there can be no assurance that the remaining closing conditions will be satisfied (or waived, if applicable), and if all closing conditions are satisfied (or waived, if applicable), we can provide no assurance that the Merger will be consummated promptly or at all.
Added
There may be a significant or longer than expected time period between the approval of the Merger by our shareholders o n September 4, 2025 and the closing of the Merger, due to the timing of required regulatory approvals, satisfaction of other closing conditions, or other factors, including those described herein. 15 For instance, at any time before the effective time of the Merger, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, or any state could take action under antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest with respect to the Merger, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Merger, to rescind the Merger, or to conditionally approve the Merger upon the divestiture of assets, or to impose restrictions on the our operations or the operations of 365 Retail Markets following the completion of the Merger.
Added
Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Merger will not be challenged on antitrust grounds or, if such a challenge is made, that the challenge will not be successful.
Added
The Merger is complex in nature, and unanticipated developments, including among other things, changes in law, the macroeconomic environment, market conditions, regulatory or geopolitical conditions, may affect our, or 365 Retail Market’s ability to close the Merger as currently expected and within the anticipated timeframe.
Added
If the Merger is not consummated within the intended timeframe or at all, we may not realize some or all of the expected benefits of the Merger or may realize them on a different timeline than expected. The price of our common stock could significantly decline if the Merger is not consummated within the intended timeframe or at all.
Added
In addition, some costs related to the Merger must be paid whether or not the Merger is consummated, as we have already incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Merger.
Added
If the Merger is not consummated within the intended timeframe or at all, we may also experience negative reactions from our investors, customers, partners, suppliers, and employees. Along with transaction costs and fees, the Merger has required and will continue to require the attention and resources of our management team.
Added
If the Merger is not consummated within the intended timeframe or at all, our management team’s attention and resources will have been diverted from other uses with little to no additional benefit to the Company.
Added
We have in the past, and may again in future, become subject to lawsuits relating to the Merger, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. We and/or our respective directors and officers have in the past, and may again in the future, become subject to lawsuits relating to the Merger.
Added
Such litigation is very common in connection with acquisitions of public companies, regardless of the merits of the underlying acquisition.
Added
For instance, as previously disclosed, following the filing of our Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC on July 11, 2025 and the Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statements”) in connection with the Merger, we received certain complaints and demand letters on behalf of purported Cantaloupe shareholders alleging deficiencies regarding the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statements.
