The transaction is also conditional upon, among other matters,the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement containing customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities, receipt of any required regulatory and third‑party approvals, and the absence of any material adverse change. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated in the LOI or otherwise.
