The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 5, 2015, by and among Parent, TECU and the Purchaser, pursuant to which, as soon as practicable after the completion of the Offer, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, the Purchaser will be merged with and into TECU, with TECU continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

The board of directors of TECU (the “TECU Board”) unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are fair to and in the best interests of TECU and its shareholders, (ii) adopted and approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby including the Offer, the Top-Up Option (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the Merger and (iii) recommends that the shareholders of TECU tender their Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer, and accept the Offer, and, if necessary under applicable laws, adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and thereby approve the Merger.

Consummation of the Offer is not subject to a financing condition. Consummation of the Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) there being validly tendered (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) in accordance with the terms of the Offer prior to the expiration time of the Offer and not withdrawn, a number of Shares that, together with the Shares then beneficially owned by Parent and its affiliates, represents at least a majority of the total number of Shares then outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the “Minimum Condition”), (ii) immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer, there not being any waiting periods (including any extensions thereof) or any approvals or clearances applicable to the Offer or the consummation of the Merger
