Introduction

As previously reported, on July 2, 2012, MModal Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Legend Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Legend Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of One Equity Partners V, L.P. (“OEP”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, on July 17, 2012, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share, of the Company (“Shares”) at a purchase price of $14.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes.

On August 15, 2012, the Company and OEP announced the results of the Offer. On August 17, 2012, Merger Sub accepted the Shares tendered in the Offer for payment and paid for such Shares and the Company and OEP announced the completion of the Offer. Also on August 17, 2012, because Merger Sub then owned more than 90% of the outstanding Shares, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and as permitted by applicable law, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) the Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger and now is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Parent and (ii) each outstanding Share not validly tendered, accepted for payment and paid for pursuant to the Offer, other than Shares held by the Company as treasury stock, by Parent or Merger Sub, or by stockholders of the Company who validly exercise their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, was converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes. Following the Effective Time, the Shares will be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Select Market, and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission on account of the Shares.
