Proxy filing summary
2 Apr, 2026Executive summary
A special meeting will be held to vote on a merger agreement under which shareholders will receive $2.43 per share in cash, representing a 71% premium to the unaffected share price as of October 16, 2025.
The merger is with Madison Parent Inc. and Madison Merger Sub Inc., entities formed by Mubadala Capital and TWG Global, and will result in the company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary.
Approximately 48% of outstanding shares are subject to support agreements to vote in favor of the merger.
The board unanimously recommends voting FOR the merger, the advisory compensation proposal, and the adjournment proposal.
Voting matters and shareholder proposals
Shareholders will vote on: (1) adoption of the merger agreement, (2) approval of compensation for named executive officers in connection with the merger (advisory, non-binding), and (3) adjournment of the meeting if more votes are needed.
Approval of the merger requires a majority of outstanding shares; the compensation proposal requires a majority of shares present; adjournment requires a majority of shares present.
Abstentions and failures to vote have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal.
Board of directors and corporate governance
The board conducted a strategic review process, including outreach to potential buyers and alternatives, before negotiating the merger.
The board considered the certainty of value, premium offered, and lack of superior proposals during a go-shop period.
The board received fairness opinions from Morgan Stanley and Moelis, both concluding the merger consideration is fair from a financial point of view.
