Item 4. |
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
|
|
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following: |
|
|
On February 16, 2024, Oasis II Fund entered into a Support Agreement
(the “Support Agreement”) with NXSTEP Opportunity Partners Fund GP, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“NXSTEP”),
in support of NXSTEP’s non-binding offer to acquire the Issuer for $27.30 per share (the “Proposed
Purchase Price”), payable in cash.
Pursuant to the Support Agreement, Oasis II Fund agreed to vote
in favor of any NXSTEP Transaction (as defined in the Support Agreement) and each of the actions contemplated by any NXSTEP Transaction
at any meeting of shareholders of the Issuer, and against (A) any transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in (x) a breach
of failure or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Issuer under any binding agreement executed
to effect any NXSTEP Transaction (a “NXSTEP Definitive Agreement”) or (y) any of the closing conditions set forth in
any NXSTEP Definitive Agreement not being satisfied, (B) against any transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to
the adoption of any NXSTEP Transaction or in competition or inconsistent with any NXSTEP Transaction, and (C) against any other transaction,
proposal, agreement or action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, or, in any material respect, interfere
with or delay the consummation of any NXSTEP Transaction.
In addition, in the event of any NXSTEP Transaction that commences
with a tender offer by NXSTEP for all of the issued and outstanding Shares at a price equal to or in excess of the Proposed Purchase Price
(a “Tender Offer”), Oasis II Fund has agreed to tender all of the Shares held by it into the Tender Offer as set forth
in the Support Agreement. |
CUSIP No. 13863167201 | SCHEDULE D/A | Page 5 of 6 Pages |
The Support Agreement terminates upon the occurrence of certain events, including the termination of any NXSTEP Definitive Agreement in accordance with its terms. Prior to the termination of the Support Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Support Agreement, Oasis II Fund agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer any of its Shares. |
|
The Reporting Persons have authorized the Oasis II Fund to enter into the
Support Agreement. The Reporting Persons hope that the Issuer’s Board of Directors will meaningfully engage with NXSTEP to complete
a transaction as quickly as possible. |

The foregoing description of the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 6 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. |

WHEREAS, NXSTEP has submitted
a private, non-binding offer to acquire the Company (the “Non-Binding Offer”) for a price of $27.30 per share (the

WHEREAS, as a condition
to its willingness to proceed with its Non-Binding Offer, including devoting substantial time and resources engaging with the Company

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, NXSTEP and the Stockholder
hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO VOTE AND TENDER
Section 1.1. Agreement
to Vote. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until the Termination Date as determined in accordance with Section 5.1, at
any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, however called and including any adjournment or postponement thereof,
and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the Company’s stockholders with respect to any of the
following matters, the Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that the Stockholder’s Subject Shares are entitled
to vote thereon, vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of its Subject
Shares: (A) in favor of the approval of any Change of Control Transaction (as defined below) to be consummated by NXSTEP (any such transaction,
a “NXSTEP Transaction”) and each of the actions contemplated by any NXSTEP Transaction as and when such other actions
are submitted for the consideration and vote of the Company’s stockholders, (B) against any transaction, proposal, agreement
or action made in opposition to the adoption of any NXSTEP Transaction or in competition or inconsistent with any NXSTEP Transaction (collectively,
an “Alternative Transaction”), (C) against any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action that would reasonably
be expected to result in (x) a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company under
any binding agreement executed to effect any NXSTEP Transaction (a “NXSTEP Definitive Agreement”) or (y) any of the
closing conditions set forth in any NXSTEP Definitive Agreement not being satisfied, and (D) against any other transaction, proposal,
agreement or action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, or, in any material respect, interfere with,
or delay the consummation of any NXSTEP Transaction. The Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Stockholder’s
Subject Shares in the Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth
in this Section 1.1 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally.
Section 1.2. Agreement
to Tender and Vote Thereafter. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event of any NXSTEP Transaction that commences with
a tender offer by NXSTEP for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis) of Stratus (a “Tender
Offer”), at a price per share equal to or in excess of the Proposed Purchase Price, the Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall:
(a) validly
and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Tender Offer all of the Stockholder’s Subject Shares
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Stockholder
Encumbrances (as defined below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later
than ten (10) Business Days following the later of (x) the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange
Act) of the Tender Offer and (y) the date of delivery by the Company of the form letter of transmittal with respect to the Tender Offer
(or in the case of any securities of the Company acquired by the Stockholder subsequent to such tenth (10th) Business Day,
or in each case if the Stockholder has not received the offer documents by such time, as promptly as practicable after the acquisition
of such shares or receipt of the offer documents, as the case may be (but, if such shares are acquired or such offer documents are received
prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer, in no event later than expiration of the Tender Offer)), the Stockholder shall deliver or
cause to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer (a) in the case of Subject Shares represented by a certificate, a
letter of transmittal with respect to all of the Stockholder’s Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Tender Offer, together
with the certificate(s) representing all such Subject Shares that are certificated, (b) in the case of a book-entry share, written
instructions to the Stockholder’s broker, dealer or other nominee that such Subject Shares be tendered, including a reference to
this Agreement, and requesting delivery of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as a paying
agent may reasonably request) with respect to such Subject Shares, and (c) all other documents or instruments required by the terms
of the Tender Offer in order to effect the valid tender of the Stockholder’s Subject Shares in accordance with the terms of the
Tender Offer. The Stockholder agrees that, once any of the Stockholder’s Subject Shares are tendered, the Stockholder will not withdraw
and will cause not to be withdrawn the Subject Shares from the Tender Offer at any time, unless and until this Agreement shall have been
validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.1.
(b) following
the Tender Offer, vote for or against the transactions, proposals, agreements or actions in the same manner as set forth in Section 1.1.

Agreement (if and when entered into)(including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the closing of any NXSTEP Transaction), but excluding
any such claim brought by a Stockholder pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 5.3. Expenses.
Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the NXSTEP Transaction are consummated, all costs, fees and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including all costs, fees and expenses
of its Representatives, shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost, fee or expense, except as otherwise provided herein and therein.
Section 5.4. Amendment
or Other Modification. Waiver.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of applicable Law, this Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered, or supplemented, except upon the execution
and delivery of a written agreement executed and delivered by all of the Parties.
(b) The
conditions to each of the respective Parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are for
the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party. Any Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive any provision
of this Agreement in whole or in part (including by extending the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of
the other Parties); provided, however, that any such waiver shall only be effective if made in a written instrument duly
executed and delivered by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder or under applicable Law shall operate as a waiver of such rights and, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
Law.
Section 5.5. Governing
Law and Venue; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver of Trial by Jury.
(a) This
Agreement and all Proceedings against any other Party in connection with, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, shall
be interpreted, construed, governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware, including, subject to Section
5.1, its statutes of limitations, without regard to the conflicts of laws, provisions, rules or principles thereof (or any other jurisdiction)
to the extent that such provisions, rules or principles would direct a matter to another jurisdiction.
(b) Each
of the Parties agrees that: (i) it shall bring any Proceeding against any other Party in connection with, arising out of or otherwise
relating to this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement exclusively in the Chosen Courts; and (ii) solely in connection with such Proceedings, (A) irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (B) irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue in any such Proceeding
in the Chosen Courts, (C) irrevocably waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction
over any Party, (D) agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section
5.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof and (E) it shall not
assert as a defense any matter or claim waived by the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) of this Section 5.5(b) or that any Order
issued by the Chosen Courts may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts.
(c) Each
Party acknowledges and agrees that any Proceeding against any other Party which may be connected with, arise out of or otherwise relate
to this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
is expected to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any such Proceeding. Each Party hereby acknowledges
and certifies that (i) no Representative of the other Parties has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Parties would not,
in the event of any Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) it understands and has considered the implications of this
waiver, (iii) it makes this waiver voluntarily and (iv) it has been induced to enter into this Agreement, the instruments or other documents
delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, acknowledgments
and certifications set forth in this Section 5.5(c).
Section 5.6. Specific
Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement
are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or damage would be
caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other available
remedies a Party may have in equity or at Law, each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement
and to obtain an injunction restraining any breach or violation or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement,
consistent with the provisions of Section 5.5(b), without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. In the event
that any Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby
waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at Law.
Section 5.7. Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal
Representatives and permitted assigns. No Party may assign this Agreement, any right to damages for breach of this Agreement or any of
its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law, by transfer
or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties not seeking to assign this Agreement, any right to damages for breach
of this Agreement or any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation
in violation of this Section 5.7 shall be null and void.
Section 5.8. Entire
Agreement.
(a) This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other
prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and warranties, whether oral or written, with respect
to such matters.
(b) In
the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, on the one hand, and any other documents, certificates,
and instruments referred to herein, on the other hand, the statements in the body of this Agreement shall control.
(c) Each
Party acknowledges and agrees that, except for the express representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (i) no Party
has made or is making any other representations, warranties, statements, information or inducements, (ii) no Party has relied on
or is relying on any other representations, warranties, statements, information or inducements and (iii) each Party hereby disclaims
reliance on any other representations, warranties, statements, information or inducements, oral or written, express or implied, or as
to the accuracy or completeness of any statements or other information, made by, or made available by, itself or any of its Representatives,
in each case with respect to, or in connection with, the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, any instrument or other
document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and notwithstanding the distribution,
disclosure or other delivery to the other or the other’s Representatives of any documentation or other information with respect
to any one or more of the foregoing, and waives any claims or causes of action relating thereto.
Section 5.9. Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not
affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision
to be negotiated by the Parties, each acting reasonably and in good faith shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far
as may be legal, valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder
of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity
or unenforceability, nor shall such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such
provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.
Section 5.10. Counterparts;
Effectiveness. This Agreement (a) may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an
original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement and (b) shall become effective when
each Party shall have received one or more counterparts hereof signed by each of the other Parties. An executed copy of this Agreement
delivered by email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original
executed copy of this Agreement.
Section 5.11. Third-Party
Beneficiaries. The Parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended
to, and does not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies, express or implied, hereunder.
Section 5.12. Construction.
When a reference is made in this Agreement to a section, such reference shall be to a section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
Headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement,
they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limiting the generality of the foregoing”. When used in this Agreement,
the term “or” shall be construed in the inclusive sense of “and/or”. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined
or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument hat is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from
time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the
case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated
therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. The Parties agree that they have been represented by
counsel during the negotiation, drafting, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law
or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such
agreement or document.
Section 5.13. Further
Assurances. Each of the Parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments
and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper,
or advisable under applicable Laws, to perform its obligations under this Agreement. NXSTEP shall provide prompt written notice to the
Stockholder upon its decision to abandon or terminate any NXSTEP Transaction.
Section 5.14. Parties
Not A Group. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a Group, joint venture or partnership between
any of the Parties hereto.
