Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Nest Parent and the Covered Shareholders entered into the Voting Agreement as an inducement for Nest Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement. The purpose of the Merger Agreement is to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, NTS. The purpose of the Voting Agreement is to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement

On August 15, 2013, Nest Parent and Nest Merger Sub, Inc., a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nest Parent (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NTS. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into NTS with NTS continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nest Parent (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of NTS Common Stock, other than shares: (a) held by NTS or its subsidiaries, (b) owned by Nest Parent or its subsidiaries and (c) owned by shareholders who have not consented to the Merger and who have properly demanded appraisal for their shares under California law, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash, without interest. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option (whether vested or unvested) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, an amount equal to the product of: (a) the excess, if any, of $23.00 over the exercise price per share of NTS Common Stock for such option multiplied by (b) the total number of shares of NTS Common Stock then subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, at the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of NTS Common Stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, an amount equal to the product of: (a) the excess, if any, of $23.00 over the exercise price per warrant multiplied by (b) the total number of shares of NTS Common Stock then subject to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

In addition, at the Effective Time, (a) the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated to be identical to the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective, except that Article I shall read as follows: “The name of this corporation is National Technical Systems, Inc.”; and (b) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references to Merger Sub in the bylaws of NTS shall be changed to refer to “National Technical Systems, Inc.” Additionally, at the Effective Time, (a) the directors and Merger Sub will become the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation and (b) the officers of NTS immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the officers of the Surviving Corporation. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the listing of NTS Common Stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market will be terminated, and NTS will terminate its registration and reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, NTS has agreed to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain actions, including paying or declaring any dividends on NTS Common Stock.

Consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition, but is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) approval of the principal terms of the Merger by NTS shareholders, (ii) receipt of applicable antitrust approval or the expiration of applicable waiting periods, (iii) absence of any order or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and (iv) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the parties’ representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and compliance by the parties with their respective covenants contained in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both NTS and Nest Parent It provides that upon NTS’s termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances (generally in the event the board of directors of NTS changes its recommendation that its shareholders approve the principal terms of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, or elects to pursue a superior acquisition proposal from a third party), NTS will be required to pay Nest Parent a termination fee of $11.0 million. Conversely, upon Nest Parent’s failure to close the transaction under specified circumstances, Nest Parent will be required to pay NTS a “reverse” termination fee of $19.0 million.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Covered Shareholders, in their capacities as shareholders of NTS, entered into the Voting Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, among other things, the Covered Shareholders have agreed to vote (or consent) the Covered Shares (A) in favor of the Merger, the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other matters relating to and/or necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, (B) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the shareholder meeting to a later date if a quorum is not present or if there are not sufficient votes for the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and (C) against any alternative transaction proposal or any other proposal made in opposition to or competition with the Merger or the Merger Agreement. Each Covered Shareholder has also granted to and appointed Nest Parent, its executive officers and any other designee of Nest Parent as its proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote all of the Covered Shares in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence.
