Forward-looking statements are statements that do not directly relate to any historical or current fact.

Although such statements are based on management's current estimates and expectations, and/or currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements as actual results may differ materially. We caution the reader that there are a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is contained, projected or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors include uncertainties as to the ability to obtain all required regulatory approvals, the possibility that closing conditions for the proposed transaction may not be satisfied or waived, on a timely basis or otherwise, the risk that any consents or approvals required in connection with the proposed transaction may not be received, the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed on the terms or in the time-frame expected by the parties, unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction, business and management strategies and the growth expectations of the combined company, as well as other factors related to our business, general economic conditions, and geopolitical events and conflicts among others. The foregoing factors and potential future developments are inherently uncertain, unpredictable and, in many cases, beyond our control.

Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure
Jacobs Solutions Inc. ("Jacobs") announced that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR"), with respect to the previously announced Reverse Morris Trust transaction involving Jacobs' Critical Mission Solutions and Cyber and Intelligence businesses and Amentum Parent Holdings LLC ("Amentum"), has expired.
The expiration of the HSR waiting period, which occurred at 11:59 p.m. ET on February 16, 2024, was a condition to the closing of the pending transaction. Completion of the transaction is still subject to the satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including receipt of other regulatory approvals, receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, opinions from tax advisors and the effectiveness of a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Jacobs expects the transaction to close in the second half of fiscal year 2024.
Separately, Jacobs has determined that it does not intend to retain more than 8% of the issued and outstanding shares of the combined company's common stock (after accounting for certain post-closing adjustments to the merger consideration owed to the sole shareholder of Amentum, if any). Any additional shares to which Jacobs would otherwise be entitled in excess of 8% will be distributed to Jacobs' shareholders at the time of, or as soon as reasonably practicable following, the consummation of the transaction.
