Explanation of Responses:
1. On August 5, 2024, the parties to the agreement of merger, dated February 12, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Whole Earth Brands, Inc. (the "Company"), Ozark Holdings, LLC ("Parent") and Sweek Oak Merger Sub, LLC ("Merger Sub"), completed the transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
2. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $4.875 per share (the "Per Share Price"), without interest, and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.
3. Restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units convert into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
4. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit became fully vested and, after giving effect to such vesting, was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes) equal to (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Price.
5. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each performance-based restricted stock unit became fully vested as to the number of shares of Common Stock that would vest based on target level achievement of all performance targets (without application of any modifier) and, after giving effect to such vesting, was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes) equal to (A) the target number of shares of Common Stock underlying the performance-based restricted stock units, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Price.
