ITEM 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously announced, on December 16, 2020, Alphatec Holdings, Inc. ("ATEC" or the "Company"), entered into a Tender Offer Agreement (the "Tender Offer Agreement") with EOS imaging S.A., a société anonyme organized and existing under the laws of France ("EOS"), pursuant to which ATEC or one of its affiliates would commence a public tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share (collectively, the "EOS Shares"), and outstanding convertible bonds ("OCEANEs"), of EOS. Additional information about the Tender Offer Agreement and the Offer are provided in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 17, 2020.

On May 13, 2021, ATEC completed the purchase of 15,815,971 EOS Shares and 2,312,074 OCEANEs pursuant to the Offer. After the completion of the initial Offer, the Company's holdings of EOS represent approximately 89.1% of the outstanding EOS Shares and 57.2% of the OCEANEs, equal to approximately 80.0% of the capital and voting rights of EOS on a fully diluted basis. Pursuant to applicable French laws and regulations, the Offer was reopened by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the "AMF") in France to purchase all of the remaining EOS Shares and OCEANEs at the same respective prices as in the initial Offer on May 17, 2021 and will close on June 2, 2021. If ATEC and/or its affiliates own 90% or more of EOS' share capital and voting rights following the closing of the reopened Offer, ATEC shall implement a mandatory squeeze out on any remaining non-tendered EOS Shares pursuant to applicable French laws and regulations (the "Squeeze-Out"). A squeeze-out of the OCEANEs may also be implemented if ATEC and/or its affiliates own 90% or more of EOS Shares on an as-converted basis. After giving effect to the completion of the Offer, as reopened, and any Squeeze Out, the total purchase price for EOS will be approximately $116.9 million. The results of the completion of the initial Offer were published on May 10, 2021, by the AMF, and settlement occurred on May 13, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company cautions you that statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainty. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements include the Company's plans to commence a tender offer for the remaining EOS Shares and OCEANEs, and the expected aggregate consideration to be paid in connection with the acquisition of EOS.

The important factors that could cause actual operating results to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: uncertainties as to the timing of the Offer for the remaining EOS Shares and OCEANEs; uncertainties as to the percentage of EOS' securityholders tendering their shares in the Offer for the remaining EOS Shares; the possibility that competing offers will be made and accepted; risks related to the AMF's review of the Offer; ATEC's and EOS' ability to satisfy the conditions to Offer closing for the transaction on the anticipated timeline or at all; the satisfaction of conditions, including applicable regulatory clearances; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Tender Offer Agreement; the effect of the announcement of the Offer and related transactions on the ability of the parties to retain and hire key personnel, maintain relationships with their customers and suppliers, and maintain their operating results and business generally; the inability to reach the required threshold to complete the Squeeze-Out resulting in EOS Shares continuing to be traded on Euronext and related regulatory requirements in connection therewith; the inability of the Company to secure the financing contemplated to be obtained on the expected terms or timing, or at all, whether as a result of failure to meet certain conditions or otherwise; risks related to potential litigation in connection with the Offer or the Offer closing that may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; unexpected variations in market growth and demand for the combined company's products and technologies; and the risk that benefits and synergies from the acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's and EOS' business and the economy; and other risks detailed in the Company's public periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The words "believe," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "look forward," and "anticipate," variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not a forward-looking statement. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and ATEC undertakes no obligation to revise or update this report to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
