At the time the tender offer is commenced, Merger Sub will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Company will file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the tender offer. Investors are urged to read these materials when they become available, as well as any other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available, carefully and in their entirety because they will contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the tender offer. Investors may obtain a free copy of the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement and other documents (when available) that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or free of charge from the Company at www.jetpay.com.
