The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodstream (the “Merger”).

The Amendment also provides that the Rights are not exercisable as a result of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Amendment provides that if the Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) shall not have previously occurred, it shall occur immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement and the Amendment, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
