 EXPLANATORY NOTE

   

Tufin Software Technologies Ltd. (the “Company”) previously announced a merger on April 6, 2022 involving subsidiaries of Turn/River Capital Management LP (“Turn/River”), whereby the Company will be acquired by Turn/River, a software-focused investment firm, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $570 million (the “merger”).

 

The Company hereby announces that on August 23, 2022, the Romanian Competition Council has cleared the merger under the foreign investment law of Romania by issuing a decision of non-objection. The merger remains subject to customary closing conditions, as further described in the merger agreement furnished to the SEC on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K on April 6, 2022, and the Company and Turn/River expect to close the merger on August 25, 2022.
