Notice to Investors
The tender offer for the outstanding shares of Vital Images common stock referenced in this press release has not yet commenced. This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The solicitation and the offer to buy shares of Vital Images' common stock will be made pursuant to an offer to purchase and related materials that Merger Sub and TMSC expect to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). At the time the tender offer is commenced, Merger Sub and TMSC will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other tender offer documents) with the SEC and Vital Images will file with the SEC a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the tender offer. Shareholders of Vital Images are strongly advised to read the tender offer statement (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other tender offer documents) and the related solicitation/recommendation statement when they become available because they will contain important information that Vital Images shareholders should consider before making any decision regarding tendering their shares. These materials (and all other materials filed by Vital Images with the SEC) will be available to all shareholders of Vital Images at no expense to them on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Free copies of the tender offer statement and related materials and the solicitation/recommendation statement, when available, may be obtained from the information agent for the tender offer.
Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the company uses adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes certain items presented under GAAP. The company uses adjusted EBITDA to develop budgets, to assess its operating performance, to increase comparability among different periods and to serve as a measurement for incentive compensation. The company uses adjusted EBITDA even though it is not probable that the financial impact of excluded amounts will be immaterial in the future. Additionally, amounts excluded from adjusted EBITDA are managed by and are the responsibility of the company's management. The company believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides supplemental information that allows investors to review the company's results of operations from the same perspective as management and the company's board of directors.
The method the company uses to produce non-GAAP measures is not in accordance with GAAP and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be considered in isolation or regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating the company's business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon the company's reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both the company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.
