Under the terms of the agreement, Top Image Systems stockholders will receive $0.86 per share in cash for each ordinary share of Top Image Systems, representing a 65% premium over Top Image Systems’ volume weighted average price (VWAP) over the past 30 trading days.

Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, the affirmative vote in favor of the transaction by holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares present and voting at a meeting, and required regulatory approvals. It is anticipated that the special meeting of Top Image Systems’ stockholders to vote on the transaction will be held in early 2019, and, if the transaction is approved, the merger would be expected to close shortly thereafter.

The transaction will be financed with cash from Kofax’s balance sheet. There is no financing contingency to the obligations of Kofax to consummate the transaction.
