      the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into VLP, with VLP surviving the merger and continuing to exist as a Delaware limited partnership (the &#8220;Merger&#8221;). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VLP entered into a support

      Time&#8221;). At the Effective Time, each Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Common Units held by VTDC and Contribution Sub, was converted into the right to receive $42.25 in cash, without interest.</font></div>
