Business Wire
Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (NYSE American: VOLT), a global
provider of staffing services, announced that the board of
directors (the “Board”) has canceled the 2022 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) which was scheduled for April
20, 2022.
The Annual Meeting has been canceled due to the ongoing tender
offer by Vega MergerCo, Inc., a New York corporation (“Merger Sub”)
(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vega Consulting, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Parent”)), to acquire any and all issued and
outstanding shares pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of March 12, 2022, among Volt, Parent and Merger Sub (as
it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement,” and
the transactions contemplated thereunder, the “Merger”). If the
Merger is not consummated pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, the Board will reschedule the Annual Meeting for a later
date.
The Merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022,
subject to customary closing conditions. Volt expects that the
current members of the Board will continue as directors until the
closing of the transaction. Upon closing of the transaction, Volt
common stock will no longer be listed on any public market.

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

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

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

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
