This
Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 5, 2024 (as amended or otherwise modified in accordance
with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Tasmania Midco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Parent”) and Tasmania Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Turing EquityCo II L.P. (the “Significant
Company Stockholder”), the holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and an affiliate of
certain investment funds advised by Apax Partners LLP (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, collectively,
the “Transactions”).
Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Company Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $4.40
in cash, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”), less any applicable tax withholdings. However, the Per Share Price
will not be paid, nor will any distribution be made, in respect of (1) any shares of the Company Common Stock that are held by us as
treasury shares or owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, which at the Effective
Time will automatically be cancelled and extinguished and (2) any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and held by a holder who has neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented to the Merger in writing and who has properly
and validly exercised (and not withdrawn) their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 262
(such shares, the “Dissenting Company Shares”). Treatment of outstanding equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive
plans and award agreements is described in greater detail in the Information Statement (defined below) under the sections entitled “The
Special Factors – Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” and “The Special Factors
– Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”
Parent
has also entered into separate rollover agreements (each, a “Rollover Agreement”) with (1) Tasmania Parent, Inc. (“Topco”),
which will become the indirect parent of the Company following the Merger, and certain of its affiliates, on the one hand, and (2) each
of the Significant Company Stockholder and certain members of Company management (each holder, a “Rollover Stockholder”),
on the other hand. Pursuant to the Rollover Agreements, on the closing date of the Merger prior to the Effective Time, all shares of
Company Common Stock held by the Significant Company Stockholder and certain shares of Company Common Stock held by the other Rollover
Stockholders (each, a “Rollover Share”) will be contributed to Topco in exchange for a number of newly issued shares of Topco
(a “Topco Share”) having an aggregate value equal to the Per Share Price multiplied by the aggregate number of Rollover Shares.
Each Rollover Stockholder who is a member of Company management also agreed to invest a portion of the after-tax proceeds that would
otherwise be received by such Rollover Stockholder in the Merger in respect of certain Company equity awards in exchange for newly issued
Topco Shares, and the assumption and conversion of certain Company equity awards into equity awards having comparable value that are
convertible into Topco Shares, all in accordance with the terms of their Rollover Agreement.
As
a result of the Merger Agreement and the Rollover Agreements, following the Merger the Company will be indirectly owned by the Rollover
Stockholders. Other stockholders of the Company prior to the Effective Time will have no continuing interest in the Company, other than
the right to receive the Per Share Price and rights of appraisal solely with respect to the Dissenting Company Shares. The Company Common
Stock will cease to be listed on Nasdaq and registration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act will be terminated and/or
suspended.
As
more fully described in the Information Statement, having undertaken a thorough review of, and carefully considered, information concerning
the Merger, and a fairness opinion from Lazard, and after consulting with experienced, qualified and independent financial and legal
advisors, a Special Committee of the Company’s board of directors comprised of Robert Brennan, Jane Chwick, William Parrett, and
Roxanne Taylor (the “Special Committee”) unanimously: (1) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together with the Merger, the “Transactions”), upon the terms and conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the
Company and the Unaffiliated Stockholders (as defined in the Information Statement), (2) recommended to our board of directors
(the “Company Board”) that the Company Board (a) approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions,
including the Merger, and (b) determine that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, are advisable, fair to
and in the best interests of the Company and the Unaffiliated Stockholders, and (3) recommended that, subject to Company Board approval,
the Company Board submit the Merger Agreement to the Company’s stockholders for their adoption by written consent in lieu of a
meeting and recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.
Acting
upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Company Board unanimously: (1) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions,
including the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders, including
the Unaffiliated Stockholders, (2) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, (3)
approved and declared advisable the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement, the performance by the Company of
the covenants and agreements contained therein and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions contained therein, (4) directed that the adoption of the Merger Agreement be submitted to the Company’s stockholders
for their adoption by written consent in lieu of a meeting, and (5) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger
Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.
Concurrently
with the filing of this Transaction Statement, Thoughtworks is filing a notice of written consent and appraisal rights and information
statement (the “Information Statement”) under Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act with the SEC. A copy of the Information
Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Information Statement as Annex A. As
of the date hereof, the Information Statement is in preliminary form, and is subject to completion or amendment. Terms used but not defined
in this Transaction Statement have the meanings assigned to them in the Information Statement. The consummation of the Merger and other
Transactions requires the adoption of the Merger Agreement by affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock entitled to vote to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”) pursuant to
Section 228 and Section 251 of the DGCL. On August 5, 2024, following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Significant
Company Stockholder, who held shares of Company Common Stock representing approximately 61.2% of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock (i.e., based on 323,160,161 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding) as of August 4, 2024 (which was
the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement), delivered a written consent
(the “Stockholder Consent”), which is attached to the Information Statement as Annex B, constituting the Requisite Stockholder
Approval. No further approval of the holders of Company Common Stock is required to approve and
adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.
Pursuant
to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Information Statement, including all annexes thereto, is
