For each $100 of Cummins Common Stock acceptel:l in the Exchange Offer, you will receive approximately $107.53 of Atmus Common Stock, subject to an upper limit of 13.3965 shares of At mus Common Stock per share of Cummins Common Stock. The Exchange Offer does not provide for a lower limit or minimum exchange ratio. See "The Exchange Offer - Terms of/he Exchange Offer" in the Prospectus. IFTHE UPPER LIMIT IS IN EFFECT, YOU MAY RECEIVE LESS THAN $107.53 OF ATM US COMMON STOCK FOR EACH S100 OF CUMMINS COMMON STOCK THAT YOU TENDER, AND YOU COULD RECEIVE MUCH LESS The value of the two stocks for purposes of the preceding paragraph and the Exchange Offer will be determined by reference to the simple arithme tic average of the daily volume-weigh ted average prices CVWAPs") of Cummins Common Stock (the "Average Cummins Price") and Atmus Com mm Stock (117e "Average Atmus Price") on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") during the three consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day immediately preceding the expiration date of the Exchange Offer (the "Averaging Dates· and th is three-day period, the "Averaging Period"), which, if the Exchange Offer is not extended or terminated, would be March 7, 8 and 11 2024 See "The Exchange Offer - Terms of the Exchange Offer" in the Prospectus Cummins will provide on th is website the daily VWAPs of both Cummins Common Stock and Atmus Common Stock during the pendency of the Exchange Offer. Prior to the Averaging Period, commencing on the third trad ing day of the Exchange Oller, this website will also provide indicative exchange ratios for each day that will be calculated based on the indicative calculated per-share values of Cummins Common Stock and Atmus Common Stock on each day, calculated as though that day were the last day of the Averaging Period, by 4 30 p.m., New York City time. In other words. assuming that a given day is a trading day, the indicative exchange ratio will be calculated based on the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs of Cummins Common Stock and Atmus Common Stock for that day and the immediately preceding two trading days The indicative exchange ratio will also reflect whether the upper limit would have been in effect had such day been the last day of the Averaging Period During the fi rst two days of the Averaging Period, the website will provide indicative exchange ratios that will be calculated based on the Average Cummins Price and Average Atmus Price, as calculated by Cummins based on data reported by Bloomberg L.P (or any other recognized quotation source selected by Cummins in its sole discretion if such source is not available or is manifestly erroneous). The website will not provide an indicative exchange ratio on the third day of the Averaging Period . The indicative exchange ratios will be calculated as follows: (i) on the fi rst day of 117eAveraging Period, the indica tive exchange ratio will be calculated based on the daily VWAPs of Cummins Common Stock and Atmus Common Stock for that first day of the Averaging Period, and (ii) on the second day of the Averaging Period, the indicative exchange ratio will be calculated based on the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs of Cummins Common Stock and Atmus Common Stock for the first and second days of the Averaging Period. During the first two days of the Averaging Period, the indicative exchange ratios wil l be updatel:l on the websi te each day by 4:30 p.m. , New York City time. The final exchange ratio including whether the upper limit on the number of shares of Atmus Common Stock that can be received for each share of Cummins Common Stock validly tenderel:l is in effect, will be announced by press release and be available on the website by 5:30 p.m New York City time, on the second trading day immediately preceding the expira tion date of the Exchange Offer (which date, if the Exchange Offer is not extended or terminated. would be March 13. 2024) The Exchange Offer and withdrawal rights wil l expire at 12 00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on the expiration date of the Exchange Oller (which, if the Exchange Offer is not extended or terminated, would be March 13, 2024), unless the Exchange Oller is extendel:l or terminated. Cummins may extend the Exchange Offer in the circumstances described in "The Exchange Offer - Ex/ens/on; Amendment - Extension or Amendment by Cummins" in the Prospectus All holders who are tendering shares (or units in respect of shares) of Cummins Common Stock allocated to their Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan and Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan for Certain Collective ly Bargained Employees (together, the "RSP") accounts must provide the directions, as outlined in the special instructions provided to them by or on behalf of the RSP plan administrator, before 4 00 PM, New York City time, on March 11 2024. If the Exchange Offer is extended, and if administratively feasible, the deadline for receipt of the holder's direction also may be extended. II the Exchange Offer is oversubscribel:l and Cummins cannot accept all tenders of Cummins Common Stock at the exchange ratio, then all shares of Cummins Common Stock that are va lidly tendered wil l generally be accepted for exchange on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares validly tendered. which is referred to as "proration." Stockholders who beneficially own "odd-lots" (less than 100 shares) of Cummins Common Stock and who validly tender all of their shares will not be subject to proration. Di rect or beneficial holders of 100 or more shares of Cummins Common Stock will be subject to proration. In addition, shares (or units in respect of shares) held on behalf of participants in the RSP (each of which holds more than 100 shares of Cummins Common Stock) wi ll be subject to proration. II the Exchange Offer is consummated but less than all shares of Atmus Common Stock offered by Cummins in the Exchange Offer are exchanged because the Exchange Oller is not ful ly subscribed. Cummins intends to make a tax-free distribution to its shareholders of the shares of Atmus Common Stock that were oflerel:l but not exchanged in the Exchange Offer effected as a dividend on a pro rata basis (the "clean-up spin-off") to holders of Cummins Common Stock as of the record date. The record date for the clean-up spin-off. if any will be announced by Cummins. As a result, any remaining shares of Atmus Com mm Stock offered by Cummins that are not exchanged in the Exchange Oller will be distributed on a pro rata basis to Cummins shareholders whose shares of Cummins Common Stock remain outstanding following the consummation of the Exchange Oller and are holders of record as of the applicable record date. Because the record date for the clean-up spin-off. if any, will occur following the completion of the Exchange Oller, holders of shares of Cummins Common Stock validly tendered and accepted and exchanged in the Exchange Oller will not participate in the clean-up spin-off (unless they otherwise own shares of Cummins Common Stock that were not tendered and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Oller as of the relevant record date). The completion of the Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions as specified in the Prospectus. Cummins may waive any or all of the conditions to the Exchange Oller, subject to limited exceptions.
