(the "Company") and Avast plc ("Avast"), in connection with the previously-announced merger of the Company with Avast (the "Merger"), entered into the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2022 (the "Amendment Agreement"), pursuant to which the existing Co-operation Agreement dated August 10, 2022 was amended and restated as set forth in the Schedule to the Amendment Agreement to revise the maximum number of Avast shares which may be granted under Avast's 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "aim", "will", "may", "would", "could" or "should" or other words of similar meaning or the negative thereof. There are many factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the Merger will not be completed on a timely basis or at all, whether due to the failure to satisfy the conditions of the Merger (including approvals or clearances from regulatory and other agencies and bodies) or otherwise. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in the Risk Factors sections of the Company's most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, the contents of which are not incorporated by reference into, nor do they form part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

By their nature, these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, as well as uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this Current Report on Form 8-K are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, Avast or any persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. The Company does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules.
