Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (NYSE American: VOLT) (“Volt” or
the “Company”), a global provider of staffing services, and Vega
Consulting, Inc. (“Parent”), an affiliate of American CyberSystems,
Inc. (“ACS”), a global provider of information technology solutions
and services (www.acsicorp.com) announced today the expiration of
the previously announced tender offer (the “Offer”) by Vega
MergerCo, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent), to acquire any and all issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company (each, a “Share”) at a purchase price
of $6.00 per Share (such amount, or any other amount per Share from
time to time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement,
the “Offer Price”), net to the seller of such Shares, in cash,
without interest.
The Offer expired as scheduled at one minute after 11:59 p.m.
(12:00 midnight), New York City Time, on April 21, 2022.
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Depositary and Paying
Agent”) has advised Parent that, as of that time, 19,423,599 Shares
had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer. Such
tendered Shares represent approximately 87.89% of the outstanding
Shares. In addition, 247,814 Shares were tendered through notices
of guaranteed delivery in the form accompanying the Offer (
“Notices of Guaranteed Delivery”) with respect to Shares that had
not been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such
guarantees, representing approximately 1.12% of the outstanding
Shares. Merger Sub has accepted for payment all Shares validly
tendered and not withdrawn (other than Shares tendered through
Notices of Guaranteed Delivery with respect to Shares that had not
been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantees
prior to such acceptance) and will promptly pay for such Shares in
accordance with the terms of the Offer.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of March 12, 2022, among Volt, Parent and Merger Sub (the
“Merger Agreement”), on April 22, 2022, Merger Sub intends to
exercise the “top-up” option granted to Merger Sub by the Company
(the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase, at a price per Share equal to
$6.00, an aggregate number of additional Shares (the “Top-Up
Shares”) that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Parent
and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the exercise of the
Top-Up Option, would constitute one Share more than 90% of the
Shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up
Shares on a fully diluted basis.
In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub intends to
effect a “short-form” merger with the Company under the applicable
provisions of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York
on April 25, 2022, at which time the Company will become a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each
Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time of the Merger (other than Shares owned directly or
indirectly by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub) will be converted
automatically into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash,
without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Merger Agreement (subject to appraisal rights).
As promptly as practicable after the consummation of the Merger,
Parent intends to cause all Shares to be delisted from the NYSE
American stock exchange and deregistered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, after which the Company will no longer have
reporting obligations thereunder.

TIME, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, BEFORE
THEY MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE TENDER OFFER BECAUSE

Forward-Looking Statements
This document includes forward-looking statements which reflect
management’s current views and estimates regarding the ability of
the parties to complete the proposed transaction and the expected
timing of completion of the proposed transaction, among other
matters. The words “anticipate”, “assume”, “believe”, “continue”,
“could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “future”, “guidance”,
“imply”, “intend”, “may”, “outlook”, “plan”, “potential”,

identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Volt
cannot assure investors that future developments affecting Volt
will be those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ
materially from these expectations due to uncertainties related to
the timing and expected financing of the tender offer and the
Merger; uncertainty surrounding how many of Volt’s shareholders
will tender their Shares in the tender offer; the possibility that
any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the
tender offer, including the failure to receive required regulatory
approvals from any applicable governmental entities, may not be
satisfied or waived in a timely manner, if at all; the possibility
of business disruptions due to transaction-related uncertainty; the
occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could
give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; and other

10-K filed with the SEC on January 13, 2022 and available at
www.sec.gov, and other filings that Volt may make with the SEC in
the future. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or if any of the Volt’s assumptions prove incorrect,
the Volt’s actual results may vary in material respects from those
projected in these forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement made by Volt in this document
speaks only as of the date hereof. Factors or events that could
cause the Volt’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to
time, and it is not possible for Volt to predict all of them. Volt

a result of new information, future developments or otherwise,
except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
