Material Changes
- Waiver of Conditions: Dril-Quip and Innovex agreed to withdraw the charter amendment proposal (Proposal No. 2) and related non-binding governance proposals (Proposal Nos. 3A – F) from the upcoming Special Meeting of stockholders.
- Revised Merger Conditions: The approval of the charter amendment is no longer a condition precedent to the completion of the Mergers. The only remaining proposal required for the Mergers to proceed is the stock issuance proposal (Proposal No. 1).
- Implementation of Governance Changes: If the Mergers are completed, the changes referenced in the withdrawn charter amendment and governance proposals will not be implemented.
