Dear Stockholder (and holder of Credible CDIs):

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting ("Special Meeting") of stockholders of Credible Labs Inc. (“Credible”) and holders of Credible CDIs to be held on Tuesday, 15 October 2019, at 11:00am Sydney, Australia time (on Monday, 14 October 2019, at 5:00pm San Francisco, U.S. time), at DLA Piper Australia, Level 22, No. 1 Martin Place, Sydney NSW, Australia, unless adjourned or postponed to a later date. Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs who are unable to attend the Special Meeting in person are invited to listen to the Special Meeting via a live conference call (the details for which were separately announced on ASX on 20 September 2019. Pre-registration for the live conference call is available at the following link: https://s1.c-conf.com/diamondpass/credible- 10002000-invite.html.

At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to approve the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger, referred to herein as the “Merger Agreement”, which Credible entered into on August 3, 2019, providing for, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the merger of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Corporation (“FOX”) with and into Credible, with Credible continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming an indirect subsidiary of FOX ("Merger"), and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. If the Merger is completed:

(i) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than the Excluded Shares, Restricted Shares, Depositary Shares and Dissenting Shares), will be converted into the right to receive A$55.25 in cash, without interest; and

(ii) each Credible CDI (which is exchangeable at the option of the holder of the Credible CDI into Shares at a ratio of one Share for every 25 Credible CDIs held by such holder) will be converted into the right to receive A$2.21 in cash, without interest,

in each instance as more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement.

We cannot complete the Merger unless the conditions to closing, specified in the Merger Agreement, are satisfied or waived, including obtaining the approval of the Merger Agreement by our Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs (to the extent permissible under law or the agreement), as more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement.

At a meeting held on August 3, 2019, our Credible Board unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Credible and Credible’s Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) (other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates), and unanimously approved the entry into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby.

The approval of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby requires the affirmative vote of:

(i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (including Shares represented by Credible CDIs which shall be voted by CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Limited (“CDN”) in accordance with the voting instructions of holders of Credible CDIs) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting (“Statutory Approval Requirement”); and

The Special Meeting will also allow for the consideration and vote upon a proposal to transact any other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to Stockholders (and the holders of Credible CDIs) at the Special Meeting if a quorum is present but the chairman of the Special Meeting concludes, in his sole discretion, that there may not be sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal.

2. THE MERGER PROPOSAL

2.1 Proposal 1— Merger Proposal

As discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement, Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs will consider and vote on a resolution to approve the Merger Proposal. Stockholder Approval is required in order for the Merger to occur. If Stockholders (including holders of Credible CDIs) fail to resolve to approve the Merger Proposal, the Merger will not occur.

Accordingly, we are asking Stockholders (including holders of Credible CDIs) to vote to approve the Merger Proposal, either by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person or by submitting a proxy or voting via Computershare’s website (instructions to voting via Computershare’s website are included on the proxy card and CDI Voting Instruction Form) or by phone (where permitted to do so). You should carefully read this proxy statement in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In particular, you are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement.

Approval of the Merger Proposal requires Stockholder Approval, being the affirmative vote of:

(i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (including Shares represented by Credible CDIs which shall be voted by CDN in accordance with the voting instructions of holders of Credible CDIs) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting; and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (including Shares represented by Credible CDIs which shall be voted by CDN in accordance with the voting instructions of holders of Credible CDIs) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting excluding those held by Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates.

If Stockholder Approval is not obtained, the Merger will not occur. As further discussed in Section 9, Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates have entered into a Voting Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates have agreed to vote Shares representing approximately 43.6% of the aggregate voting power of the total Shares as of the date of this proxy statement in favour of the resolution to approve the Merger Proposal. The Shares subject to the Voting Agreement will be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Statutory Approval Requirement to approve the Merger Proposal is satisfied. However, his Shares and his affiliates’ Shares will not be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Public Approval Requirement to approve the Merger Proposal is satisfied.

For the Merger Proposal, you may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN”. If you abstain from voting or fail to vote because you do not return your proxy card, voting instruction form or CDI Voting Instruction Form, or did not vote via Computershare’s website or by phone or attend the Special Meeting and vote in person (as applicable) it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the resolution to approve the Merger Proposal.

If you hold your Shares through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee and you do not instruct your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee on how to vote your Shares on the Merger Proposal, your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee will not vote your Shares on the Merger Proposal, and such broker non- votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such resolution.

If you hold Credible CDIs and you do not instruct CDN on how to vote your Credible CDIs on the Merger Proposal, CDN will not vote your Credible CDIs on the Merger Proposal, which will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such resolution.

For personal use only use personal For Recommendation of the Credible Board:

The Credible Board, following the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, unanimously recommends that Stockholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal.

33

2. The Merger Proposal

2.2 Proposal 2—Adjournment Proposal

We are asking Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs to consider and vote on an alternate proposal to approve an adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if a quorum is present but the chairman of the Special Meeting concludes there may not be sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Accordingly, if a quorum is present at the Special Meeting but the chairman of the Special Meeting concludes, in his sole discretion, that there may not be sufficient votes at the Special Meeting in favour of the Merger Proposal, then the chairman of the Special Meeting will move to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates in order to enable the Credible Board to solicit additional proxies in favour of such proposal. In that event, the chairman of the Special Meeting will put to the vote, as the first item of business, the Adjournment Proposal (in advance of the vote on the Merger Proposal).

If Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs approve the Adjournment Proposal, Credible may adjourn the Special Meeting without formally taking a vote on the Merger Proposal and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favour of the Merger Proposal. Among other things, approval of the Adjournment Proposal could mean that Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs), may be asked to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and, if approved, Credible may adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on the Merger Proposal.

If the Adjournment Proposal is not adopted, a vote will then be held on the Merger Proposal.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Special Meeting. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Furthermore, in contrast to the Public Approval Requirement of the Merger Proposal, Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates will be entitled to vote on the Adjournment Proposal at the Special Meeting.

Approval of this proposal is not a condition to the completion of the Merger.

For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, the presence of Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs, whether in person or represented by proxy, will be counted as present and votes withheld, abstentions and Shares represented by “broker non-votes” (where a broker or nominee, other than CDN, cannot exercise discretionary authority and does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners to vote on a matter) will also be counted as present. For the avoidance of doubt, Shares held by Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates will be taken into account for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Recommendation of the Credible Board:

The Credible Board, unanimously recommends that Stockholders vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Pre-registration for the live conference call is available at the following link: https://s1.c-conf.com/diamondpass/credible-10002000-invite.html.

3.2 Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the Special Meeting, we will invite Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs to consider and vote upon the following matters:

Proposal 1: to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into Credible, with Credible surviving the Merger as the Surviving Corporation and becoming an indirect subsidiary of FOX; and

Proposal 2: to approve an adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if a quorum is present but the chairman of the Special Meeting concludes, in his sole discretion, that there may not be sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal.

3.3 Entitlement to vote

Stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per Share at the Special Meeting on all matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. Credible CDI holders of record on the Record Date are entitled to instruct CDN in respect of one vote for every 25 Credible CDIs they hold at the Special Meeting on all matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, there are 10,107,624 Shares issued and outstanding, of which 4,707,594 Shares are held as 117,689,850 Credible CDIs. The Credible CDIs are held by approximately 1,154 holders of record.

Stockholder of record

If you own Shares registered directly in your name with Credible’s share registrar, Computershare, you are considered the Stockholder of record with respect to those Shares. As a Stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to Credible or to vote in person at the Special Meeting. However, if you transfer your Shares before the Record Date, you will not be entitled to grant your voting proxy directly to Credible or to vote in person at the Special Meeting.

Credible CDI holders

For personal use only use personal For CDN is the Stockholder of record for all Shares beneficially owned by holders of Credible CDIs. Holders of Credible CDIs at the Record Date are entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and attend the Special Meeting and may direct CDN to vote the underlying Shares on their behalf at the Special Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, by following the procedures set out in Section 3.8 below.

35

3. Special Meeting

Holders of Credible CDIs cannot vote in person at the Special Meeting unless:

• such holders of Credible CDIs have completed the conversion of their Credible CDIs into Shares prior to the Record Date for the Special Meeting; or

• such holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to appoint themselves as proxy for the purposes of voting at the Special Meeting.

In respect of the voting instructions it receives, CDN, on behalf of the holders of Credible CDIs, will vote the underlying Shares represented by the Credible CDIs on an aggregate basis by:

• determining the total number of Credible CDIs “FOR” (i) the Merger Proposal and (ii) the Adjournment Proposal;

• determining the total number of Credible CDIs “AGAINST” (i) the Merger Proposal and (ii) the Adjournment Proposal,

• determining the total number of Credible CDIs abstaining from voting on (i) the Merger Proposal and (ii) the Adjournment Proposal; and

• applying the ratio of one (1) Share for every twenty-five (25) Credible CDIs, and submitting the resultant number of Shares “FOR” or “AGAINST” (i) the Merger Proposal and (ii) the Adjournment Proposal and the number of Shares abstaining from voting on the (i) the Merger Proposal and (ii) the Adjournment Proposal, as appropriate.

However, if you transfer your Credible CDIs before the Record Date, you will not be entitled to instruct CDN how to vote at the Special Meeting.

Beneficial owner (other than Credible CDI holders)

If your Shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee is considered to be the Stockholder of record with respect to those Shares, while you are considered the beneficial owner of those Shares and your Shares are held in street name (“Street Name”). Street Name holders of Shares are entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and attend the Special Meeting, and may direct their broker, bank, trustee or other nominee to vote their Shares at the Special Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, by following the procedures set out in Section 3.8 below.

Since a Street Name holder is not the Stockholder of record, the Street Name holder may not vote their Shares in person at the Special Meeting unless such holder obtains a “legal proxy” from their applicable broker, bank, trust, or other nominee giving such holder the right to vote the Shares at the meeting.

However, if you transfer your Shares before the Record Date and cease to be the beneficial owner of your Shares, you will not be entitled to instruct your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee how to vote at the Special Meeting.

3.4 Quorum

A quorum of Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) is necessary to hold a valid Special Meeting. A quorum is present at the Special Meeting if holders of at least one third of the Shares, including Shares represented by Credible CDIs, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, including via CDN in respect of holders of Credible CDIs, are present in person or represented by proxy. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, it is expected that the meeting will be adjourned to

For personal use only use personal For solicit additional proxies.

For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, votes withheld, abstentions and Shares represented by “broker non-votes” (where a broker or nominee, other than CDN, cannot exercise discretionary authority and does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners to vote on a matter) will be counted as present, but will not be considered to have been voted in favour of any of the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.

36

3. Special Meeting

Holders of Credible CDIs who instruct CDN to abstain from voting on their behalf will have their underlying Shares counted toward a quorum at the Special Meeting. However, holders of Credible CDIs who fail to provide instructions to CDN will not have their underlying Shares counted towards a quorum at the Special Meeting.

For the avoidance of doubt, Shares held by Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates will be taken into account for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

3.5 Votes Required; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

The approval of the Merger Proposal (Proposal 1) requires Stockholder Approval.

Stockholder Approval is a condition to the completion of the Merger.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 2) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Special Meeting. In contrast to the Public Approval Requirement of the Merger Proposal, Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates will be entitled to vote on the Adjournment Proposal at the Special Meeting.

The approval of any other proposal to be voted upon at the Special Meeting also requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.

Shares with respect to which Stockholders abstain from voting on a particular matter, and Shares represented by “broker non-votes”, will not be counted as votes in favour of such matter, but as mentioned under Section 3.4 (above), will be counted to determine whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting and will be counted as voting power present at the Special Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, Shares held by Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates will be taken into account for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Abstentions, “broker non-votes” and the failure to provide voting instructions to CDN, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the proposal to approve the Merger Proposal because approval of this proposal requires Stockholder Approval, being the affirmative vote of: (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (including Shares represented by Credible CDIs which shall be voted by CDN in accordance with the voting instructions of holders of Credible CDIs) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting; and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (including Shares represented by Credible CDIs which shall be voted by CDN in accordance with the voting instructions of holders of Credible CDIs) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting excluding Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates.

Abstentions, “broker non-votes” and the failure to provide voting instructions to CDN in relation to the Adjournment Proposal are not considered votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates, who collectively beneficially own approximately 43.6% of the voting power of Shares in Credible as at the date of this proxy statement, have entered into a Voting Agreement agreeing to vote in favour of adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger (among other things).

3. Special Meeting

The Shares subject to the Voting Agreement will be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Statutory Approval Requirement to approve the Merger Proposal is satisfied. However, Shares held by Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates will not be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Public Approval Requirement to approve the Merger Proposal is satisfied.

3.7 Credible Board Recommendation

Proposal 1 (Approval of the Merger Proposal). After careful consideration, the Credible Board has unanimously determined that the entry into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Credible and the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) (other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates). Accordingly, the Credible Board unanimously recommends that Stockholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote “FOR” the resolution to approve the Merger Proposal.

Proposal 2 (Adjournment Proposal). The Credible Board also unanimously recommends that Stockholders vote “FOR”, and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote “FOR”, an adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if a quorum is present but the chairman of the Special Meeting concludes there may not be sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal.

In the course of reaching its unanimous determination, the Credible Board consulted with Credible’s management and its financial adviser. The Credible Board also consulted with outside legal counsel regarding the fiduciary duties of the Credible Board and the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and related agreements. The Credible Board reviewed information regarding:

• Credible’s business and operations;

• historical market prices, volatility and trading information regarding Credible CDIs;

• the Merger Consideration to be paid to Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs (as applicable) pursuant to the Merger;

• the terms of the Merger Agreement; the potential alternatives to the Merger, and the terms, conditions and risks of such alternatives;

• Credible’s prospects as an independent company and the required financing and resulting dilution required to operate independently; and

• the opinion of PJT Partners provided to the Special Committee as described in this proxy statement.

Voting instructions are included on your proxy card. All Shares represented by properly executed proxies received in time for the Special Meeting will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Stockholder. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted “FOR” the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. In addition, while the Credible Board does not know of any matter that is not described in this proxy statement to be presented for action at the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies by a Stockholder are authorized to vote on such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting.

Voting Credible CDIs

Holders of Credible CDIs may give directions to vote the underlying Shares by submitting instructions to CDN to:

• vote on behalf of such Credible CDI holder at the meeting on the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal and according to the directions of such Credible CDI holder; or

• appoint a nominated proxy to vote the shares underlying their Credible CDls in person at the Special Meeting. The nominated proxy may be the holder of Credible CDIs. Shares underlying Credible CDIs are held of record by CDN. If holders of Credible CDIs wish to vote at the Special Meeting, they must direct CDN on the CDI Voting Instruction Form to appoint the holder of the Credible CDIs as proxy for the purposes of voting the Shares underlying their Credible CDIs at the Special Meeting.

Holders of Credible CDIs may submit voting instructions:

• by completing and mailing or faxing the enclosed CDI Voting Instruction Form;

• via Computershare’s website at www.investorvote.com.au; or

• via the Internet at http://www.intermediaryonline.com (for Intermediary Online subscribers only).

For personal use only use personal For other nominee to vote the Shares on their behalf at the Special Meeting. Holders of Shares in “street name” may submit their instructions by returning the voting instruction form received from their broker, bank, trustee or other nominee (as applicable) to them. You should contact your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee to ensure your voting instruction forms are received by them with sufficient time for them to give a proxy to vote your Shares in accordance with your instructions.

39

3. Special Meeting

For purposes of voting to approve the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, brokers, bank, trustees or other nominees who hold Shares in “street name”, and CDN, may not give a proxy to vote those Shares in the absence of specific instructions from the beneficial owner of those Shares. As a result, you should carefully follow the instructions given to you on the CDI Voting Instruction Form or the voting instruction form given to you by your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee to assure that your Shares are properly voted.

If no instructions are given to the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee holding Shares, or if instructions are given to the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee indicating that the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee does not have authority to vote on the Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, then the Shares will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the Merger Proposal.

Abstentions, “broker non-votes” and the failure to provide voting instructions to CDN, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Proposal because approval of this proposal requires the Stockholder Approval.

Abstentions, “broker non-votes” and the failure to provide voting instructions to CDN in relation the Adjournment Proposal are not considered votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Please note that if your Shares are held of record by a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you must bring to the Special Meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming your beneficial ownership of the Shares and that the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee is not voting the Shares at the Special Meeting.

A separate transmittal form with instructions for the surrender of stock certificates in exchange for Merger Consideration will be mailed to Stockholders shortly after completion of the Merger. Similarly, holders of Credible CDIs should not send their holding statement(s) with their CDI Voting Instruction Form. Holders of Credible CDIs are not required to exchange their holding statement(s) in order to receive the Merger Consideration.

The Credible Board, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, has approved the Merger Agreement and has recommended that the Stockholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal. Credible encourages you to read the entire Merger Agreement carefully because it is the principal legal document governing the Merger.

4. The Merger

On January 31, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Credible, and Mr. Edward Hartman, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development at FOX, met in New York as an initial introduction between Credible and FOX.

On February 19, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash and Mr. Edward Hartman spoke by phone to discuss whether Credible would be interested in potential commercial partnership opportunities with FOX.

On March 13, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash met in New York with FOX representatives to further explore potential commercial partnership opportunities.

Following such meeting, on March 21, 2019, Credible and FOX entered into a Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement.

On March 27, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash met in New York with FOX representatives to provide an overview of Credible and further discuss potential commercial partnership opportunities.

On April 22, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash met with Mr. Lachlan Murdoch, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FOX, and Mr. Edward Hartman in Los Angeles to provide an overview of Credible in connection with potential commercial partnership opportunities. During this meeting, representatives of FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash discussed what level of funding Credible would need for accelerated growth.

On April 29, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash spoke with representatives of FOX and proposed a potential minority investment in Credible alongside potential commercial partnership opportunities for the purposes of aligning the interests of FOX and Credible.

On May 1, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash and other members of the Credible team spoke with representatives of FOX to provide a more detailed business overview and answer FOX’s preliminary questions relating to a potential minority investment in Credible of up to US$75 million.

On May 6, 2019, Credible and FOX entered into a Mutual Confidentiality Agreement in connection with a possible transaction involving an investment by FOX and/or potential commercial partnership opportunities, which superseded the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement as of March 21, 2019. The May 6, 2019 Mutual Confidentiality Agreement contained customary standstill obligations on FOX.

On May 23, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash met with members of the FOX executive team in Los Angeles to introduce himself and Credible to FOX executives and to further discuss, at a high level, a potential investment by FOX and/or potential commercial partnership opportunities.

On May 29, 2019, FOX sent Credible a preliminary, non-binding and conditional proposal for the acquisition of Credible by FOX for a price of A$2.11 per CDI (the “Proposal”). The Proposal was the initial outreach by FOX with regard to an acquisition of Credible. In the Proposal, FOX stated that it was open to rolling over all or a part of Mr. Stephen Dash’s Shares, and that it would take the Credible Board’s guidance as to when to have any discussion regarding a potential roll. FOX stated that were Mr. Stephen Dash to consider rolling over a material portion of his Shares, FOX would expect that a special committee of independent directors would review the proposed transaction. Additionally, FOX indicated that it would not move forward with any transaction with a material rollover unless the proposed transaction was recommended by the Special Committee and that any transaction with a material rollover would be subject to a non-waivable condition requiring the approval of a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by Shares not owned by Mr. Stephen Dash.

On May 30, 2019, Mr. Ron Suber and Mr. Stephen Dash sent a letter to FOX in response to FOX’s letter of May 29, 2019. The letter confirmed receipt and indicated that the May 29 letter had been

For personal use only use personal For circulated to the Credible Board, who would be meeting shortly to consider the proposed transaction.

On May 30, 2019, the Credible Board convened a board meeting to discuss the Proposal. The Credible Board decided, subject to formal approval of the Credible Board at its June 4, 2019 meeting, the Proposal price was sufficient to grant FOX access to certain information regarding the Credible business for the purposes of commencing their due diligence on a non-exclusive basis in order to evaluate a potential transaction.

44

4. The Merger

On June 3, 2019, FOX provided an initial due diligence request list to Credible.

On June 4, 2019, with DLA Piper (“DLA Piper”), outside counsel to Credible, present, the Credible Board convened a meeting to discuss process and next steps, including in light of, among other things, the reference in the Proposal to a potential roll by Mr. Stephen Dash, the formation of the Special Committee and related matters, authorization to provide FOX due diligence access, and the engagement of Highbury Partnership ("Highbury") as financial advisor to Credible. At that time, although Mr. Stephen Dash had not yet expressly confirmed to the Credible Board that he was willing to roll over a material portion of his Shares, the Credible Board believed that this was FOX’s preferred outcome, and that Mr. Stephen Dash was amenable to doing so if he were able to reach satisfactory terms in negotiation with FOX and the Credible Board believed that this was FOX’s preferred outcome. Given this was a possibility, the Credible Board determined to form the Special Committee before Mr. Stephen Dash made his decision as to whether he would roll.

On June 6, 2019, FOX and its representatives, including FOX’s advisors Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“Kirkland”), Buckley LLP, and PricewaterhouseCoopers were provided access to an online data room to facilitate due diligence of Credible by FOX and its representatives. FOX and its representatives continued to perform due diligence and had access to the data room through the signing of the Merger Agreement.

From June 6, 2019 through the signing of the Merger Agreement, FOX and its advisors conducted diligence on Credible and Credible facilitated such diligence, including by participating in numerous break out diligence sessions, hosting site visits, providing access to select members of the management team, participating in legal and regulatory calls and participating in calls to discuss how FOX and Credible could cooperate as commercial partners.

On June 12, 2019, Credible entered into an engagement letter with Highbury in relation to its role as financial adviser to Credible in order to assist with evaluating a potential transaction.

Between June 13, 2019 and June 19, 2019, the Special Committee interviewed various international law firms with experience representing special committees of publicly traded companies for the purposes of selecting and engaging a legal advisor.

On June 15, 2019, at the invitation of the Special Committee, the law firm of Akin Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP (“Akin”) made a presentation regarding its experience advising special committees of target companies in public transactions. Following Akin’s presentation, the Special Committee discussed Akin’s experience in light of the other firms it had considered.

On June 19, 2019, the Special Committee selected Akin as its legal advisor, after a review of various proposals from law firms, and entered into an engagement letter with Akin. That same day, Akin, Highbury and DLA Piper held a teleconference to discuss the background of the transaction and next steps.

Between June 11, 2019 and June 22, 2019, the Special Committee considered and discussed various financial advisors with experience representing special committees of publicly traded companies for the purpose of engaging a financial advisor. On June 19 and 20, 2019, the Special Committee held telephonic meetings with two financial advisory firms, including PJT Partners, for the purposes of interviewing and selecting a financial advisor. Each firm made a presentation to the Special Committee regarding their capabilities and relevant experience.

Later on June 20, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin to discuss process, including the Special Committee’s role in negotiating the transaction, Akin’s role as counsel to the Special Committee and the status of discussions between the Special Committee and potential financial advisors for the

For personal use only use personal For Special Committee. The Special Committee, with input from Akin, discussed each financial advisory firm under consideration, including impressions from telephonic meetings, each firm’s relevant experience and market reputation and other considerations. The Special Committee also discussed the prospect of considering additional firms, but determined to wait to see formal proposals from the two firms already under consideration.

On June 22, 2019, the Special Committee selected PJT Partners as its financial advisor.

45

4. The Merger

On June 25, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin to discuss the roles of various advisors in the transaction, including PJT Partners, in its role as financial advisor to the Special Committee, Highbury, in its role as financial advisor to Credible, Akin, in its role as legal counsel to the Special Committee, and DLA Piper, in its role as legal counsel to Credible. The Special Committee also considered whether and to what extent Mr. Stephen Dash should play a role in negotiations in light of his unique knowledge of the business and the industry, which the Special Committee believed would help maximize transaction value for Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs. In particular, the Special Committee determined that due diligence matters, including site visits, could be addressed with Mr. Stephen Dash as long as the Special Committee was informed in advance, and that Akin and PJT Partners should attempt to join where practicable. Akin delivered a supplemental presentation regarding fiduciary duties under Delaware law related to deal procedures and protections, with a focus on transactions involving significant stockholders rolling over a portion of their interests. PJT Partners then joined the call and the Special Committee proceeded to discuss certain transaction considerations with its advisors, including strategy with respect to a potential market check. The Special Committee instructed Akin and PJT Partners to coordinate with Highbury and DLA Piper in order for PJT Partners to begin the due diligence required for its financial analysis.

On June 27, 2019, Mr. Paul Cheesbrough, Chief Technology Officer at FOX, and Mr. Edward Hartman met, with the prior authorization of the Special Committee (consistent with the Special Committee’s guidance from June 25), with Mr. Stephen Dash at Credible’s San Francisco office to visit the site.

On June 28, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin and PJT Partners to discuss a proposed timeline for responding to FOX’s proposal and the content of a communication to FOX on behalf of the Special Committee. The Special Committee also considered the broader transaction timeline in light of various potential announcement dates, noting the fact that the Special Committee would likely require a sequenced process where some price negotiations were held before FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash would be authorized to continue negotiations related to Mr. Stephen Dash’s rollover and any potential go-forward commercial arrangements to be entered into between FOX and Credible, and the time it would take to finalize those negotiations between FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash.

On June 28, 2019, Credible and PJT Partners entered into a confidentiality agreement.

On June 30, 2019, Akin, PJT Partners, DLA Piper, Highbury, the Special Committee and Mr. Stephen Dash held a call to discuss the process for responding to FOX on price and the staging of the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, rollover arrangements and commercial agreements. The Special Committee informed DLA Piper, Highbury and Mr. Stephen Dash that, after consultation with its advisors, it would first seek some time to further assess FOX’s proposed offer price and would then give FOX its initial response on price. If the Special Committee were able to reach a preliminary view that the price offered by FOX could be acceptable, subject to reviewing any arrangements between FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash, the Special Committee would then authorize further negotiations between Mr. Stephen Dash and FOX. Mr. Stephen Dash and DLA Piper expressed their views on the time it would take to negotiate arrangements between FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash, and encouraged the Special Committee to work expeditiously with its advisors on pricing matters.

On July 1, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin and PJT Partners. Akin updated the Special Committee on the various legal advisors’ perspectives regarding a potential timeline for negotiations between FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash regarding Mr. Dash’s potential rollover, associated governance rights and post-closing commercial arrangements. Similarly, PJT Partners provided an update on its ongoing diligence of Credible and advised that it would be prepared to give a preliminary valuation analysis on or around July 7. After discussion, the Special Committee determined that it would likely be in a position to respond to FOX’s Proposal after receiving PJT Partners’ preliminary valuation presentation. It therefore authorized PJT Partners to inform FOX of the Special Committee’s preferred approach on timing to reply and sequencing of negotiations, consistent with the discussions during the

For personal use only use personal For June 30 Special Committee meeting, and that the Special Committee would seek to respond to the Proposal by early in the week of July 8.

Later on July 1, 2019, Akin, Highbury, DLA Piper, PJT Partners, the Special Committee and Mr. Stephen Dash held a call to update the broader group on the communication PJT Partners was authorized to make to FOX.

46

4. The Merger

On July 2, 2019, PJT Partners informed FOX of the Special Committee’s preferred approach on timing to reply and sequencing of negotiations, consistent with the discussions during the June 30 and July 1 Special Committee meetings: that the Special Committee would respond on price by early in the week of July 8. If the Special Committee were able to reach a preliminary view that a price offered by FOX could be acceptable, subject to reviewing any arrangements between FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash, the Special Committee would then authorize further negotiations between Mr. Stephen Dash and FOX regarding Mr. Stephen Dash’s potential rollover, associated governance rights and post-closing commercial arrangements. At that point, the Special Committee would also allow Credible and its advisors to join the Special Committee’s advisors in negotiating the full Merger Agreement. However, the Special Committee would require a last look at all arrangements before making its final recommendation.

Later on July 2, 2019, Akin, Highbury, DLA Piper, PJT Partners, the Special Committee and Mr. Stephen Dash held a call to discuss the communication made to FOX earlier that day.

On July 5, 2019, PJT Partners provided to the Special Committee and their counsel a relationship disclosure letter confirming that, among other things, PJT Partners had not been mandated by or received fees from either Credible or FOX during the two years preceding the date of the letter nor maintained other material relationships with either Credible or FOX.

On July 7, 2019, PJT Partners, the Special Committee and Credible executed an expense and indemnification letter.

Also on July 7, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin and PJT Partners in which PJT Partners presented its preliminary valuation work. The PJT Partners presentation included, among other things, a discussion of PJT Partners’ due diligence, the assumptions underlying its analysis, and PJT Partners’ preliminary financial analysis. The Special Committee discussed PJT Partners’ presentation, as well as certain other related matters such as transaction structures and other potential acquirers for Credible. After careful consideration, the Special Committee determined that, as a first step in its negotiations with FOX, it should seek an enhanced premium and certain other terms, including, but not limited to, a post-signing market check (often referred to as a “go-shop” provision). It then authorized PJT Partners to communicate that view to FOX.

On July 8, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash provided a written undertaking to the Credible Board dated July 8, 2019 that he would not consummate a potential transaction unless it was recommended by the Special Committee and it was subject to a non-waivable condition requiring the approval of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Shares not owned by Mr. Stephen Dash or his affiliates.

That same day, PJT Partners and FOX held a call where representatives of PJT Partners informed FOX of the Special Committee’s view that the Special Committee would require a higher price per Credible CDI and a post-signing market check.

Later on July 8, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin and PJT Partners to provide an update on the call between PJT Partners and FOX.

On July 9, 2019, PJT Partners and FOX held another call where FOX informed PJT Partners it was not inclined to proceed based on the feedback from the Special Committee, as FOX was not prepared to raise the consideration to be paid to a level FOX believed would satisfy the Special Committee’s request.

Later on July 9, 2019, Credible received a letter from FOX withdrawing its Proposal.

Later on July 9, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin and PJT Partners to discuss next steps. The Special Committee and its advisors discussed potential next steps and the Special Committee determined that pursuing a transaction with FOX could potentially lead to a transaction that

For personal use only use personal For would be in the best interest of Credible, its Stockholders and its holders of Credible CDIs, notwithstanding FOX’s adverse reaction to the request for an enhanced premium. The Special Committee therefore determined that it was advisable to seek to restart negotiations with FOX and discussed the best approach to reengage FOX. The Special Committee determined that a meeting involving both Mr. Ron Suber, on behalf of the Special Committee, and Mr. Stephen Dash would likely be most effective. The Special Committee authorized Mr. Ron Suber and Mr. Stephen Dash to seek a meeting with FOX to discuss reengagement on a potential transaction.

4. The Merger

On July 10, 2019, Mr. Ron Suber, Mr. Stephen Dash and FOX held a meeting at FOX’s offices in Los Angeles and discussed the terms on which the parties would continue negotiations of a potential transaction.

On July 11, 2019, a revised preliminary, non-binding and conditional proposal was received by the Special Committee from FOX with a purchase price of A$2.21 per Credible CDI and including summaries of key deal terms. In this letter, FOX specified that any proposed transaction would be conditioned on the rollover by Mr. Stephen Dash of a number of his shares equal to 33.33% of Credible’s outstanding common stock. Given such rollover, FOX reiterated that any proposed transaction would be subject to unwaivable conditions that the Special Committee consider and recommend the transaction and that a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by Shares not owned by Mr. Stephen Dash approve the transaction. The summaries of key deal terms included, among other things, (i) a termination fee payable by Credible of 3.5% of the deal equity value payable upon customary circumstances, (ii) a prohibition on Credible from soliciting alternative business combination proposals but the ability for Credible to respond to unsolicited inbound proposals that meet certain criteria and ability to change its recommendation or terminate the agreement to accept a superior proposal (often referred to as a “no-shop” provision), (iii) a summary of the key governance terms for the entity into which Mr. Stephen Dash would roll his interests into, which included board designation rights and customary transfer restrictions, (iv) a proposed recapitalization of Credible by FOX of up to US$ 75 million following closing, and (v) a summary of key terms for a potential commercial arrangement pursuant to which FOX and Credible would collaborate on advertising, promotional, media and content integrations.

On July 12, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin and PJT Partners to discuss the revised proposal from FOX in light of the higher offer price. Mr. Ron Suber advised the Special Committee that during his and Mr. Stephen Dash’s in-person negotiations with FOX, the parties discussed the appropriate time period over which to measure volume-weighted share price in the context of transaction premium discussions. After consultation with its advisors, including consideration of historical trading prices for Credible CDIs, the Special Committee determined that proceeding with FOX based on the updated offer represented the best opportunity to maximize value for Credible’s Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs. The Special Committee then authorized PJT Partners to inform FOX that the price offered was sufficient to commence more fulsome negotiations on the terms of the Merger Agreement, rollover and commercial arrangements, but that the Special Committee would continue to review the transaction as negotiations progressed.

On July 12, 2019, PJT Partners informed FOX, telephonically, that the price offered was sufficient to commence more fulsome negotiations on the terms of the Merger Agreement, rollover and commercial arrangements, but that the Special Committee would continue to review the transaction as negotiations progressed.

On July 15, 2019, Akin contacted Kirkland, to advise them that the Special Committee had reviewed the key transaction terms referenced in the offer provided on July 11 and requested a reduced break fee and a post-signing market check in the definitive transaction documents. Akin also requested that Kirkland deliver a draft merger agreement as soon as practicable.

During the week of July 15, 2019, with the approval of the Special Committee and the participation of Akin and PJT Partners as its representatives, Credible, DLA Piper and Highbury held a series of meetings and calls with FOX and Kirkland to discuss the terms of the post-closing governance and commercial arrangement between FOX and Credible that were included in the July 11 letter from FOX.

On July 16, 2019, the Special Committee held a call with Akin to discuss certain updates. Akin informed the Special Committee of the preliminary feedback that Kirkland provided when Akin communicated the Special Committee’s initial reaction to the proposed merger terms in FOX’s revised proposal – that FOX was not inclined to allow Credible to perform a post-signing market check or offer a reduced break fee.

For personal use only use personal For The Special Committee determined to revisit these matters after receiving and reviewing the draft merger agreement. At that time, the Special Committee and Akin also discussed the terms of the engagement letter with PJT Partners and the potential transactions timeline.

Also on July 16, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash, in his personal capacity, engaged the law firm of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe (“Orrick”) to advise him on the proposed transactions, including the proposed rollover and documentation relating to his rollover.

48

4. The Merger

On July 17, 2019, Kirkland delivered an initial draft of the Merger Agreement to Akin and DLA Piper. Consistent with the July 11 letter, the draft included provisions specifying a 3.5% break fee and a customary “no-shop” provision.

On July 18, 2019, the PJT Partners engagement letter to act as financial advisor to the Special Committee was executed by PJT Partners, the Special Committee and Credible.

On July 19, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash updated the Special Committee on certain adverse developments in his negotiations with FOX with respect to the commercial arrangements. Based on that update, the Special Committee instructed Akin to pause work on its review of the Merger Agreement to allow FOX and Mr. Stephen Dash time to address those developments.

On July 22, 2019, Kirkland provided a draft rollover agreement to Akin and DLA Piper.

Between July 22 and July 26, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash and Orrick discussed the draft rollover agreement and the terms of his proposed rollover.

On July 23, 2019, in the evening, the Special Committee held a call with Akin and PJT Partners to inform them that Mr. Stephen Dash and FOX were able to make progress on their negotiations. In light of that, the Special Committee and its advisors discussed the key issues in the Merger Agreement. Among other things, the Special Committee determined that it would continue to seek a reduced termination fee and a “go-shop” provision. The Special Committee instructed Akin to proceed with a mark-up of the document in cooperation with DLA Piper and management, and to send to Kirkland when ready.

Between July 24 and July 28, 2019, Akin, DLA Piper and Kirkland had a series of calls and meetings to discuss open issues on the Merger Agreement and related process and regulatory filings. During these meetings, Akin, DLA Piper, Kirkland and Orrick, also discussed the terms for the post-closing governance and commercial arrangements.

On July 25, 2019, the Special Committee determined after consultation with its advisers that, in light of certain factors, such as the status of the other transaction documents and recent trading history for Credible CDIs, FOX might be amenable to a request for a higher purchase price, a lower break fee, a “go-shop” construct and the acceleration of all unvested Stock Options. The Special Committee authorized Mr. Ron Suber to communicate this request to FOX.

On July 26, 2019, Mr. Ron Suber conveyed the Special Committee’s request as determined on July 25, 2019 to FOX representatives.

On July 26 and July 29, 2019, the Special Committee held calls with Akin and PJT Partners to discuss the status of negotiations. The Special Committee asked questions of Akin and PJT Partners regarding their views on market practice for certain key remaining open terms from the Merger Agreement, including break fees and post-signing market checks and Akin advised the Special Committee regarding the implications of those terms as it related to fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

On July 28, 2019, Mr. Ron Suber, Mr. Viet D. Dinh, Chief Legal and Policy Officer of FOX, and Mr. Steve Tomsic, Chief Financial Officer of FOX, negotiated a few outstanding deal points: the purchase price, the amount for the break fee, the no-shop provision and the acceleration of all Stock Options that would become vested by June 30, 2020. During this meeting the parties agreed to the purchase price of A$2.21 per Credible CDI. As a separate negotiation point, the parties agreed on the acceleration of any Stock Options that would vest by June 30, 2020. There was no agreement on the no-shop provision and the quantum for the break fee.

For personal use only use personal For On July 29, the Special Committee informed Akin that they had agreed to forego the “go-shop” construct and agreed on a 1% break fee. Akin communicated this to Kirkland on the same date.

4. The Merger

On July 30, 2019, the Special Committee reviewed the near final forms of the draft transaction documents with Akin and PJT Partners, including the Merger Agreement, rollover agreement, voting agreement and term sheets for the governance terms and commercial arrangement ("Ancillary Agreements") (noting there remained outstanding issues in the governance terms and commercial arrangement). The near final forms of the draft transaction documents provided for a customary “no- shop” provision, a purchase price of A$2.21 per Credible CDI and a lower break fee of 1% of equity value, which is customary for change of control transactions involving ASX-listed companies. At the request of the Special Committee, representatives of PJT Partners provided an updated presentation of its financial analyses in connection with the proposed Merger. The Special Committee elected to adjourn subject to satisfactory resolution of the final outstanding issues in the governance terms and commercial arrangement.

On July 31, 2019, Credible released its Quarterly activities report for the period ending 30 June 2019.

On August 2, 2019 the Special Committee held a call with PJT Partners to discuss the recent trading performance of Credible CDIs.

On August 3, 2019, FOX notified Credible and the Special Committee that FOX desired to execute the transaction documents now that the outstanding issues in the governance terms and commercial arrangement were resolved and that there otherwise were no material changes from the versions previously reviewed by the Special Committee on July 30, 2019.

On August 3, 2019, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of Akin and PJT Partners present. At the request of the Special Committee, representatives of PJT Partners reviewed with the Special Committee its revised financial analyses in connection with the proposed Merger. At the request of the Special Committee, representatives of PJT Partners then rendered its oral opinion to the Special Committee (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by PJT Partners in connection with the opinion (which are stated in its written opinion), the consideration to be received by the Stockholders and the holders of Credible CDIs (in each case, other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates) in the Merger was fair to such holders from a financial point of view.

The full text of PJT Partners’ written opinion, which describes, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by PJT Partners in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B. Representatives of Akin reviewed with the Special Committee the terms of the Merger Agreement and Ancillary Agreements (as defined herein). Representatives of Akin then reviewed the fiduciary duties of the Special Committee under Delaware law in connection with the proposed Merger. The Special Committee then unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other proposed transactions under the Merger Agreement were advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Credible and the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) (other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates); and (ii) resolved to recommend that the Credible Board approve entry into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated thereby, declare the advisability of the Merger Agreement, submit the Merger Agreement for adoption by Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs and recommend that the Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Following the Special Committee meeting, also on August, 3, 2019, the Credible Board, based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, approved the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and all things necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement.

For personal use only use personal For Later on August 3, 2019, Credible and FOX (together with Merger Sub, FOX’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary) entered into the Merger Agreement.

On August, 4, 2019, prior to the opening of the ASX on the morning of August, 5, 2019 (AEST), Credible publicly announced the transaction.

4. The Merger

4.3 Recommendation of the Credible Board and its reasons for the Merger

Proposal 1 (Approval of the Merger Proposal). After careful consideration, the Credible Board unanimously determined that entry into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Credible and Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) (other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates). Accordingly, the Credible Board unanimously recommends that Stockholders vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote “FOR” the resolution to approve the Merger Proposal

Proposal 2 (Adjournment Proposal). The Credible Board also recommends that Stockholders vote “FOR”, and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote “FOR”, any adjournment of the Special Meeting if necessary to permit solicitation of further proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal.

In the course of evaluating the Merger and reaching its unanimous determination, the Special Committee and the Credible Board consulted with Credible’s management and its financial advisers. The Special Committee and the Credible Board also consulted with outside legal counsel regarding the fiduciary duties of the Special Committee and the Credible Board and the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and related agreements. The Special Committee and the Credible Board reviewed information regarding: Credible’s business and operations; historical market prices, volatility and trading information regarding Credible CDIs; the consideration to be paid to Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs in the Merger; the terms of the Merger Agreement; the potential alternatives to the Merger, and the terms, conditions and risks of such alternatives; Credible’s prospects as an independent company and the required financing and resulting dilution required to operate independently; and the Fairness Opinion described below.

The following discussion includes the material reasons and factors considered by the Credible Board in making its recommendation, but is not, and is not intended to be, exhaustive:

• Merger Consideration. The Credible Board considered the following with respect to the Merger Consideration to be paid to the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs):

o that the Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs will receive Merger Consideration of A$55.25 in cash for each Share (other than the Excluded Shares, Restricted Shares, Depositary Shares and Dissenting Shares) owned and A$2.21 in cash for each Credible CDI owned (as applicable) upon the completion of the Merger, as compared to the uncertain future long-term value to the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) that might be realized if Credible remained independent;

o the aggregate value and composition of the Merger Consideration to be received by Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs in the Merger represents a premium in light of the market price of comparable companies as well as a significant premium on the historical market price;

o the aggregate value and composition of the Merger Consideration to be received by Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs in the Merger represents an attractive revenue multiple of 10.0x for the 12 month period to 30 June 2019;

o that the price of A$2.21 per Credible CDI equates to an enterprise value to revenue multiple of 10.0x for the last 12 months revenue to 30 June 2019;

o that the price of A$2.21 per Credible CDI represents premiums of:

. 12.4% over the volume weighted average price of Credible CDIs since Credible’s For personal use only use personal For quarterly activities report on 31 July 2019;

. 20.8% over the 60 day volume weighted average price of Credible CDIs up to and including 2 August 2019;

. 55.0% over the 90 day volume weighted average price of Credible CDIs up to and including 2 August 2019; and

51

4. The Merger

. 30.8% over the closing stock price the day prior to receipt of FOX’s initial confidential proposal on 29 May 2019; and

o that the cash consideration proposal provides Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) with certainty of value and the opportunity to realise in full their investment in cash;

• Opinion of PJT Partners. The financial presentation of PJT Partners and its oral opinion rendered to the Special Committee on August 3, 2019, subsequently confirmed in its written opinion dated August 3, 2019, that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by PJT Partners in connection with the opinion (which are stated therein), the consideration to be received by the Stockholders and the holders of Credible CDIs (in each case, other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates) in the Merger, was fair to such holders from a financial point of view, as more fully described in Section 4.4 titled “The Merger – Opinion of the Financial Advisor to the Credible Special Committee”;

• Likelihood and Timing of Closing. The Credible Board considered the likelihood that the proposed Merger would be completed on a timely basis, in light of, among other things:

o the limited closing conditions included in the Merger Agreement;

o the lack of a financing condition; and

o the lack of a due diligence condition;

• Recommendation of the Special Committee. The unanimous recommendation by the Special Committee of the Credible Board that entry into the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, be adopted and approved by the Credible Board and that the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) approve the Merger Proposal;

• Favourable Alternative. The limited number of potential purchasers with the financial ability to acquire Credible for an all cash offer and the belief that the Merger is more favourable to Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) than other strategic alternatives currently available to Credible;

• Cash Requirement and Additional Equity Funding. The need of a cash infusion in order to continue to grow the business which would likely be dilutive to existing Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) and the Credible Board considered that the Merger reduces the uncertainty of the Credible business by providing it with access to significant resources from FOX, including a commitment from FOX to invest up to US$75mm of additional equity funding;

• Arm’s-length Negotiations. The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which were reviewed by the Credible Board with their legal advisors, and the fact that such terms were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties;

• Terms of the Merger Agreement. The Credible Board considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the course of negotiations thereof, including:

o the limited conditions to FOX’s obligation to complete the Merger, including the absence of a financing condition contingency and ability of FOX to terminate the Merger Agreement only under the specified circumstances set forth therein;

o the ability of the Credible Board, under certain circumstances, to furnish information to and For personal use only use personal For conduct negotiations with a third party, if the Credible Board or the Special Committee concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) under applicable law, and Credible, the Credible Board, and the Special Committee comply with certain other requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement;

52

4. The Merger

o the ability of the Credible Board and the Special Committee, under certain circumstances, to change its recommendation that the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) approve the Merger Proposal if there is an Intervening Event, or if a third party has made an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, FOX does not match the terms of such proposal, and the Credible Board or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) under applicable law, and Credible, the Credible Board, and the Special Committee comply with certain other requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement;

o the ability of the Credible Board or the Special Committee to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal, subject to FOX’s right to match the terms of such proposal, if the Credible Board or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) under applicable law, upon payment to FOX of US$4 million and Credible’s compliance with certain other requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement;

o the termination fee of US$4 million payable by Credible to FOX, if the Merger Agreement is terminated for the reasons described in the Merger Agreement, was reasonable and comparable to termination fees in similarly sized transactions by ASX-listed companies, and would not likely be required to be paid unless Credible wished to accept a Superior Proposal;

o that the Merger Agreement must be adopted by a majority of the outstanding minority Shares (i.e., by the public Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs and not by Mr. Stephen Dash or his affiliates) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting; and

o that the Stockholders will be entitled to appraisal rights under Delaware law; and

• Stockholders’ approval required. The fact that the Merger would be subject to the approval of our Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs, and the fact that our Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs would be free to reject the Merger by voting against the Merger Proposal for any reason, including if a higher offer were to be made prior to the Special Meeting (although we may be required to pay a termination fee of US$4 million under certain circumstances if we subsequently were to enter into a definitive agreement relating to, or to consummate, an alternative Acquisition Proposal).

In the course of its deliberations, the Credible Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and potentially negative factors weighing against the Merger, including:

• Cessation to be an Independent Company. The Credible Board considered the fact that, if the Merger is completed, Credible will no longer exist as an independent company with its CDIs listed on the ASX and that the Merger would preclude Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) from having the opportunity to participate in any potential future increase in Credible’s value or in the value created by its products, future potential earnings growth, future potential appreciation of the value of our common stock or future dividends that could be realized depending on our future performance;

• Risks of Announcement and Completion. The Credible Board considered:

o the risks and contingencies related to the announcement of the Merger, including our ability

to retain key employees and maintain our relationships with service providers and third For personal use only use personal For parties;

o the conditions to FOX’s obligation to complete the Merger and the right of FOX to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances; and

53

4. The Merger

o the risks and costs to Credible if the Merger is not completed, including the diversion of management and employee attention, potential employee attrition, potential Stockholder or other litigation, the potential impact on the trading price of Credible CDIs on the ASX and the effect on our business relationships and the likely need to raise capital for financing for the continued development and distribution of the Credible marketplace;

• Limitations on Credible’s Business. The Credible Board considered the potential limitations on Credible’s pursuit of business opportunities due to pre-closing covenants in the Merger Agreement whereby Credible agreed that it will conduct its business and operations in the ordinary course, and subject to specified exceptions, will not take certain actions related to the conduct of its business without the prior written consent of FOX. This could delay or prevent us from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the Merger;

• Taxability of Merger Consideration. The Credible Board considered that the exchange of Shares or Credible CDIs for cash in the Merger generally will be taxable to the Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs for U.S. federal income and Australian income tax purposes;

• Non-Solicitation Provisions. The Merger Agreement precludes Credible from soliciting alternative transaction proposals. The Credible Board concluded, however, that this limitation was reasonable because it is customary for transactions of this type; Credible had conducted an extensive strategic review process prior to entering into the Merger Agreement with FOX; and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement Credible has the right to engage in discussions or negotiations with any person that has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Credible Board or the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, and has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal, in both cases subject to Credible’s compliance with certain requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement;

• Termination Fee and Other Alternative Acquirors. The Credible Board considered the following with respect to the termination fee of US$4 million payable to FOX:

o the possibility that the termination fee payable to FOX under defined circumstances might discourage a competing proposal to acquire Credible or reduce the price of any such proposal; and

o Credible’s inability to solicit competing acquisition proposals;

• Expenses. The Credible Board considered the significant costs involved in connection with entering into and completing the Merger, the substantial time and effort of management required to consummate the Merger, the related disruptions to the operation of our business and the fact that Credible would pay expenses incurred by it in connection with the Merger Agreement regardless of whether or not the Merger is completed;

• Interests of Directors and Officers. The Credible Board considered the interests that certain of our directors and executive officers have with respect to the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) generally, as described in “The Merger — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” in Section 4.6; and

• Inability to fund. The risk that, despite the absence of a financing condition, FOX may fail to have the funds available to pay the Merger Consideration.

After careful and due consideration, the Credible Board unanimously concluded that overall, the risks,

uncertainties, restrictions and potentially negative factors associated with entering into the Merger For personal use only use personal For Agreement were outweighed by the potential benefits to our Stockholders of the Merger, and that many of these risks could be managed or mitigated prior to the Merger by us or were unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the Merger.

54

4. The Merger

The preceding discussion of the information and factors considered by the Credible Board is intended to be illustrative and not exhaustive. In light of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Merger and the complexity of these matters, the Credible Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to the various factors considered in reaching its determination, and individual Directors may have given different weight to different factors. In addition, the Credible Board did not reach any specific conclusion with respect to any of the factors or reasons considered. Instead, the Credible Board conducted an overall analysis of the factors and reasons described above and unanimously determined that, in the aggregate, the potential benefits considered outweighed the potential risks or possible negative consequences of approving the Merger and the Merger Agreement and recommending that Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs vote “FOR” the resolution to approve the Merger Proposal.

4.4 Opinion of the Financial Advisor to the Credible Special Committee

PJT Partners was retained by the Special Committee to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Merger and, upon the Special Committee’s request, to render its opinion to the Special Committee in connection therewith. The Special Committee selected PJT Partners to act as its financial advisor based on PJT Partners’ qualifications, expertise and reputation, its knowledge of Credible’s industry and its knowledge and understanding of the business and affairs of Credible. At a telephonic meeting of the Special Committee on August 3, 2019, PJT Partners rendered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in its written opinion dated August 3, 2019, to the Special Committee that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by PJT Partners in connection with the opinion (which are stated in its written opinion), the consideration to be received by the Stockholders and the holders of Credible CDIs (in each case, other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates) in the Merger was fair to such holders from a financial point of view.

The full text of PJT Partners’ written opinion delivered to the Special Committee, dated August 3, 2019, is attached as Annex B and incorporated into this proxy statement by reference in its entirety. The Fairness Opinion has been provided by PJT Partners at the request of the Special Committee and is subject to, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by PJT Partners in connection with the opinion (which are set forth therein). PJT Partners provided its opinion to the Special Committee, in its capacity as such, in connection with and for purposes of its evaluation of the Merger only and PJT Partners’ opinion is not a recommendation as to any action the Special Committee or the Credible Board should take with respect to the Merger or any aspect thereof. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any Stockholder or any holder of Credible CDIs should vote or act with respect to the Merger or any other matter. Further, PJT Partners may not be “independent” within the meaning customarily given to such term in the jurisdiction in which any Stockholder or any holder of Credible CDIs receiving this disclosure resides and is not subject to the requirements relating to the preparation of opinions for such persons in any such jurisdictions. The summary of PJT Partners’ opinion contained in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of PJT Partners’ written opinion.

The Special Committee retained PJT Partners to provide a U.S.-style fairness opinion. Accordingly, the Fairness Opinion was obtained in accordance with U.S. practice, and is not an Australian standard independent expert's report to shareholders on whether the Merger is fair and reasonable to Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs. Accordingly, the Fairness Opinion should not be relied upon in any way by Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs as they consider the Merger. Credible and the Credible Board advised that there is no need for an "Independent Expert Report" to be prepared in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules or the Corporations Act. There is also no requirement for any Fairness Opinion and that obtaining the For personal use only use personal For Fairness Opinion is at the Credible Board's discretion. The Fairness Opinion has been prepared and issued on this basis. "Independent Expert Reports" as defined by the Corporations Act have different disclosure requirements than detailed in the Fairness Opinion. The Fairness Opinion has not been prepared to satisfy the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules or the Corporations Act or guidance published by ASIC.

4. The Merger

In arriving at its opinion, PJT Partners, among other things:

• reviewed certain publicly available information concerning the business, financial condition and operations of Credible;

• reviewed certain internal information concerning the business, financial condition and operations of Credible prepared and furnished to PJT Partners by the management of Credible and approved for PJT Partners’ use by the Special Committee;

• reviewed certain internal financial analyses, estimates and forecasts relating to Credible, including projections for fiscal years 2019 through 2023 that were prepared by, or at the direction of, and approved by the management of Credible and approved for PJT Partner’s use by the Special Committee (collectively, the “Projections”);

• held discussions with members of senior management of Credible concerning, among other things, their evaluation of the Merger and Credible’s business, operating and regulatory environment, financial condition, prospects and strategic objectives;

• reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for Credible CDIs;

• compared certain publicly available financial and stock market data for Credible with similar information for certain other companies that PJT Partners deemed to be relevant;

• reviewed the publicly available financial terms of certain other business combinations that PJT Partners deemed to be relevant;

• reviewed a draft, provided August 3, 2019, of the Merger Agreement;

PJT Partners was not asked to undertake, and did not undertake, an independent verification of any information provided to or reviewed by it, nor was it furnished with any such verification and it did not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. PJT Partners did not conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or assets of Credible. PJT Partners did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Credible, nor was it furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals, nor did it evaluate the solvency of Credible or any of its respective subsidiaries under any applicable laws.

PJT Partners also assumed, with the consent of the Special Committee, that the final executed forms of the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements would not differ in any material respects from the drafts and term sheets reviewed by PJT Partners and the consummation of the Merger would be effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement, and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party consents and approvals (contractual or otherwise) for the Merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition would be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Credible or any of its respective subsidiaries or the contemplated benefits of the Merger.

In arriving at its opinion, PJT Partners was not asked to solicit, and did not solicit, interest from any party with respect to any sale, acquisition, business combination or other extraordinary transaction involving Credible or its assets. PJT Partners did not consider the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other business plan or opportunity that might be available to Credible or the effect of any other arrangement in which Credible might engage, and PJT Partners’ opinion did not address the underlying decision by Credible to engage in the Merger. PJT Partners’ opinion was limited to the fairness as of the date of the opinion, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders and the holders of Credible CDIs (in each case, other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates) of the consideration to be received by such holders in the Merger, and PJT Partners’ opinion did not address any other aspect or implication of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement or understanding entered into in connection with the Merger or otherwise.

4. The Merger

Summary of Financial Analyses

In connection with rendering its opinion, PJT Partners performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses as summarized below. In arriving at its opinion, PJT Partners did not ascribe a specific range of values to the Shares or Credible CDIs but rather made its determination as to fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders and the holders of Credible CDIs (in each case, other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates) of the consideration to be received by such holders on the basis of various financial and comparative analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial and comparative analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description.

In arriving at its opinion, PJT Partners did not attribute any particular weight to any single analysis or factor considered by it but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by it and in the context of the circumstances of the Merger. Accordingly, PJT Partners believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, as considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses used by PJT Partners in preparing its opinion to the Special Committee. Certain financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses used by PJT Partners, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. In performing its analyses, PJT Partners made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Credible or any other parties to the Merger. None of Credible, PJT Partners, or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favourable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of the businesses do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which the businesses may actually be sold. The financial analyses summarized below were based on the financial information prepared and furnished to PJT Partners by or on behalf of the management of Credible, used at the direction of the management of Credible and approved for PJT Partners’ use by the Special Committee. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by PJT Partners. The following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed, for Credible, as of the close of trading on August 2, 2019 (which represented the last trading day for Credible CDIs prior to the date of PJT Partners’ opinion) and is not necessarily indicative of current or future market conditions. All share prices utilized by PJT Partners for the purposes of its financial analyses described under the headers “—Selected Comparable Company Analysis,” “— Selected Precedent Merger Analysis,” and “—Discounted Cash Flow Analysis—Credible” were converted to AUD using the applicable foreign exchange rate as of August 2, 2019. Fully diluted numbers of Credible CDIs used below were provided by, and used at the direction of, Credible management.

Selected Comparable Company Analysis

PJT Partners reviewed and compared specific financial, operating and public trading data relating to Credible with selected publicly-traded technology companies that PJT Partners deemed comparable to Credible. The selected comparable companies consisted of two groups, with the first group being those operating in the United States and the second group being those listed on the ASX. The selected comparable companies operating in the United States (which we refer to collectively as the “U.S. Operating Peers”) were Zillow Group, Inc., Redfin Corp., ANGI Homeservices Inc., CarGurus, Inc.,

For personal use only use personal For Lendingtree, Inc., EverQuote, Inc., Care.com, Inc., Yelp Inc., TripAdvisor, Inc., Group, Inc., TrueCar, Inc., and Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC. The selected comparable companies listed on the ASX (which we refer to collectively as the “ASX-Listed Peers”) were REA Group Limited, Domain Holdings Australia Limited, CarSales.com Limited and Limited. PJT Partners reviewed and compared such data in order to assess how the public market values shares of similar publicly traded companies and to provide a range of relative implied equity values per Credible CDI on a standalone basis, in each case by reference to these companies.

58

4. The Merger

As part of its selected comparable company analysis, PJT Partners calculated and analysed certain ratios and multiples, including: (1) total enterprise value (calculated as the equity value based on fully diluted shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, plus debt and less cash and cash equivalents, after giving effect to certain adjustments for non-controlling interests and equity investments) (“TEV”) as a multiple of calendar year 2019E Revenue and (2) TEV as a multiple of calendar year 2020E Revenue. All of these calculations were performed and based on publicly available financial data, market data (including share prices) as of the close of trading on August 2, 2019 and consensus estimates derived from sell-side research. The results of this selected comparable company analysis are summarized below:

U.S. U.S. Operating Operating ASX-Listed ASX-Listed Peers Peers Peers Peers Median Average Median Average TEV/2019E Revenue 3.0x 3.3x 6.4x 7.7x TEV/2020E Revenue 2.3x 2.8x 6.0x 7.0x

PJT Partners, based on its professional judgment, selected the comparable companies listed above because PJT Partners believed their businesses and operating profiles are reasonably similar to that of Credible. However, because of the inherent differences between the business, operations and prospects of Credible and those of the selected comparable companies, PJT Partners believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected comparable company analysis. Accordingly, PJT Partners also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Credible and the selected comparable companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis. These qualitative judgments related primarily to the differing sizes, growth prospects, profitability levels and degree of operational risk between Credible and the companies included in the selected company analysis.

Based upon these judgments, PJT Partners selected (1) a TEV to revenue multiple range of 4.0x to 6.0x for 2019E Revenue for Credible with reference to U.S. Operating Peers, (2) a TEV to revenue multiple range of 3.0x to 5.0x for 2020E Revenue for Credible with reference to U.S. Operating Peers, (3) a TEV to revenue multiple range of 5.5x to 7.5x for 2019E Revenue for Credible with reference to ASX-Listed Peers, and (4) a TEV to Revenue multiple range of 4.5x to 6.5x for 2020E Revenue for Credible with reference to ASX-Listed Peers, in each case for Credible on a standalone basis. PJT Partners then applied the applicable ranges to the Credible CDI price to calendar year 2019E Revenue and Credible CDI price to calendar year 2020E Revenue based on the Projections, to calculate a range of implied prices per Credible CDI on a standalone basis based on the fully diluted number of Credible CDIs as of August 2, 2019. The following summarizes the results of these calculations:

Implied prices per Credible CDI Implied prices per Credible CDI based on U.S. Operating Peers based on ASX-Listed Peers TEV/2019E Revenue AU$ 1.15 – AU$1.64 AU$1.52 – AU$1.99 TEV/2020E Revenue AU$ 1.35 – AU$2.12 AU$1.93 – AU$2.69

Selected Precedent Merger Analysis

PJT Partners reviewed, to the extent publicly available, and analysed the valuation and financial metrics relating to the following 14 selected transactions since 2014 involving companies in the financial technology industry, which PJT Partners in its professional judgment considered generally relevant for comparative purposes:

For each precedent transaction, PJT Partners reviewed the TEV of the target company in the transaction as a multiple of (a) the target company’s revenue for the 12 months immediately following the transaction (which we refer to as “NTM Revenue”) and (b) the target company’s EBITDA for the 12 months immediately following the transaction (which we refer to as “NTM EBITDA”), as summarized in the following:

Median TEV/NTM Revenue 2.3x TEV/NTM EBITDA 10.2x

Estimated financial data of the selected transactions were based on publicly available information at the time of announcement of the relevant transaction.

The reasons for and the circumstances surrounding each of the selected precedent transactions analysed were diverse and there are inherent differences in the business, operations, financial conditions and prospects of Credible and the companies included in the selected precedent transaction analysis, which PJT Partners discussed with the Special Committee. In addition, certain of the selected precedent transactions involved the purchase and sale of certain assets and businesses rather than transactions involving whole companies, and the selected precedent transactions occurred during periods in which financial, economic and market conditions were different from those in existence as of the date of PJT Partners’ opinion. Accordingly, PJT Partners believed, and discussed with the Special Committee, that a purely quantitative selected precedent transaction analysis would not be particularly meaningful in the context of considering the Merger. PJT Partners therefore made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the characteristics of the selected precedent transactions and the Merger which would affect the acquisition equity values of the selected target companies and Credible. Based upon these judgments, after reviewing the above analysis, PJT Partners selected a TEV to NTM Revenue range of 2.5x to 4.0x for Credible on a standalone basis and applied this range to Credible’s NTM Revenue based on the Projections to calculate a range of implied prices per Credible CDI on a standalone basis. The following summarizes the result of these calculations:

Implied prices per Credible CDI Price/2020E TEV/NTM Revenue AU$ 1.05 – AU$1.58

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis—Credible

In order to estimate the present value of Credible CDIs, PJT Partners performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Credible. A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset by calculating the “present value” of estimated future cash flows generated by the asset. “Present value” refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns

and other appropriate factors. For personal use only use personal For To calculate the estimated enterprise value of Credible using the discounted cash flow method, PJT Partners added (a) Credible’s projected after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the period September 30, 2019 through fiscal year end 2023E based on the Projections (which we refer to in this section titled “—Opinion of the Financial Advisor to the Credible Special Committee” as the “4.25 year DCF analysis”) to (b) ranges of “terminal values” of Credible as of December 31, 2023, and discounted such amount

60

4. The Merger

to its present value using a range of selected discount rates. The after-tax unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking the tax-affected earnings before interest and tax expense, adding depreciation and amortization, subtracting capital expenditures and adjusting for changes in working capital and other cash flow items. The residual value of Credible at the end of the projection period, or “terminal value,” was estimated by applying the exit multiple range of 20.0x to 30.0x to Credible’s 2023E EBITDA from the Projections. The range of after-tax discount rates of 11.0% to 13.0% was selected based on PJT Partners’ analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Credible. PJT Partners then calculated a range of implied equity values per Credible CDI by subtracting Credible’s estimated net debt from the estimated enterprise value derived using the discounted cash flow method and dividing such amount by the fully diluted number of Credible CDIs as of August 2, 2019. The following summarizes the results of these calculations:

Implied equity Credible Standalone 4.25 year DCF Analysis values per Credible CDI Projections $1.48 - $2.30

Other Information

PJT Partners also observed the additional factors described below, which were not considered part of its financial analyses in connection with rendering its opinion, but were referenced solely for informational purposes:

• A discounted equity analysis was performed by PJT Partners in order to estimate the present value of Credible CDIs. A discounted equity value analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a company’s share price by calculating the “present value” of the future implied share price. PJT Partners calculated the discounted equity value per Credible CDI, on a standalone basis, based on Credible’s implied future share price as of 2021 year end, which was calculated by using NTM TEV / revenue multiples of 3.5x to 5.5x multiplied by Credible’s 2021 revenue projections, subtracted Credible’s estimated net debt to calculate the implied total equity value as of such date in the Projections, and then divided by the implied fully diluted number of Credible CDIs based on the fully diluted number of Credible CDIs as of August 2, 2019 and then multiplied by the USD to AUD foreign exchange rate as of August 2, 2019. PJT Partners discounted each such future share price to its present value using a selected cost of equity discount rate range of 20.0% to 25.0%, which was selected based on PJT Partners’ estimate of the expected annual rate of return of an equity investor in Credible. This analysis resulted in range of equity values per Credible CDI on a standalone basis of AU$1.37 to AU$2.29;

• historical trading prices of Credible CDIs during the 52-week period ending August 2, 2019, which indicated low and high closing prices of Credible CDIs during such period of AU$0.68 to AU$2.23, as compared to the price per Credible CDI of AU$2.21 to be paid to the holders of Credible CDIs pursuant to the Merger Agreement; and

• publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ share price targets in the next 12 months for Credible CDIs, which indicated a target share price range for Credible CDIs of AU$2.41 to $2.78, as compared to the headline offer value of AU$2.21.

General

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying PJT Partners’ opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, PJT Partners considered the

For personal use only use personal For results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, PJT Partners made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to Credible or the contemplated transaction. The terms of the Merger Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, were determined through arm’s-length negotiations between Credible and FOX, rather than PJT Partners, and the decision to enter into the Merger Agreement was solely that of Credible and FOX.

61

4. The Merger

PJT Partners prepared these analyses for purposes of providing its opinion to the Special Committee as to the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date of the written opinion of PJT Partners, of the consideration to be received by the Stockholders and the holders of Credible CDIs (in each case, other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates) pursuant to the Merger. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favourable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of Credible, PJT Partners or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted.

PJT Partners is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and, as part of its investment banking activities, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. The Special Committee selected PJT Partners because of its qualifications, reputation and experience in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions generally and in the financial technology industry specifically.

PJT Partners is acting as financial advisor to the Special Committee in connection with the Merger. As compensation for its services in connection with the Merger, PJT Partners is entitled to receive from Credible US$2.75 million, which became payable upon the delivery of PJT Partners’ opinion to the Special Committee. In addition, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, an advisory fee of US$500,000 may be payable to PJT Partners. Credible has agreed to reimburse PJT Partners for out- of-pocket expenses and to indemnify PJT Partners for certain liabilities arising out of the performance of such services (including the rendering of PJT Partners’ opinion).

In the ordinary course of PJT Partners and its affiliates’ businesses, PJT Partners and its affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to Credible, FOX or their respective affiliates and may receive compensation for the rendering of these services. During the two years preceding the date of this opinion, PJT Partners has not received fees from Credible, FOX or their respective affiliates.

4.5 Financing of the Merger

The consummation of the Merger is not subject to any financing conditions. Credible anticipates that the total amount of funds necessary to consummate the Merger and the related transactions will be approximately $265 million. Credible understands that FOX intends to use cash on hand.

4.6 Interests of Directors and executive officers in the Merger

When considering the recommendation of the Credible Board to vote in favour of the Merger Proposal, you should be aware that the members of the Credible Board and Credible’s executive officers have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) generally. The members of the Credible Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, to the extent that they existed at the time, in approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger and recommending that the Merger Agreement be adopted by Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs). These interests are described in more detail and, where applicable, are quantified in the narrative below:

The Merger Agreement further provides that for a period of 6 years from the Effective Time, FOX shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain either (1) the coverage provided by the current policies of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Credible, so long as the annual premium would not be in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by Credible prior to the date of the Merger Agreement or (2) purchase a “tail” insurance policy at a cost no greater than 300% of the last annual premium paid by Credible prior to the date of the Merger Agreement and on terms and conditions no materially less favourable than the coverage under Credible’s and its subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ existing liability insurance.

4.7 Regulatory Matters

To complete the Merger, we must obtain or make all material U.S. state approvals, consents and filings. Other than those set out herein and the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the completion of the Merger under the HSR Act and certain ASX approvals (see Section 12.2), we are not currently aware of any other material Australian or U.S. federal or state approvals, consents or filings that are required to be obtained or made for the completion of the Merger. If any such approvals, consents or filings are required to complete the Merger, we will seek or make such consents, approvals and filings.

On August 23, 2019, Credible and FOX were notified by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act was granted, effective immediately. On 10 September 2019 (Sydney time), the requested waivers and confirmations were granted by ASX.

State Regulatory Filings

As a condition precedent to the Merger, Credible must obtain or make certain U.S. state approvals, consents and filings. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, Credible has submitted all requisite applications, and is not aware of any fact or circumstance that would cause this condition to be unable to be satisfied.

4.8 Litigation Relating to the Merger

As of the date of this proxy statement, there is no litigation known to the parties.

4.9 Escrow Arrangements

A number of securityholders are restricted from dealing in their Shares or Stock Options. These restrictions were either imposed by the ASX or have been agreed to voluntarily.

The ASX restrictions were imposed in connection with Credible’s initial public offering and listing on ASX in December 2017. The ASX Listing Rules required certain persons such as Directors and promoters of Credible to enter into restriction agreements under which they were restricted from dealing in a specified number of their Stock Options and Shares for 24 months from the date of quotation of Credible CDIs on the official list of ASX. The restriction agreements restrict the ability of the holder of the Stock Options or Shares (as the case may be) from disposing of, creating any security interest in or transferring effective ownership or control of such Stock Options or Shares.

For personal use only use personal For With respect to voluntary restrictions, as part of the IPO and ASX listing, a number of persons and entities also agreed to voluntary restrictions for 24 months from the date of quotation of Credible CDIs on the official list of ASX.

4. The Merger

4.12 Appraisal Rights

Holders of Credible Shares who do not vote in favour of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and who otherwise comply with the statutory requirements of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) are entitled to certain appraisal rights under Delaware law, as described below and in Annex C to this proxy statement. Those holders who perfect their appraisal rights by strictly following certain procedures in the manner prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to receive payment of the “fair value” (as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery) of their Shares in cash from Credible, as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger.

ANY STOCKHOLDER WHO WISHES TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS OR WHO WISHES TO PRESERVE HIS OR HER RIGHT TO DO SO SHOULD REVIEW ANNEX C CAREFULLY AND SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER LEGAL ADVISER, SINCE FAILURE TO COMPLY IN A TIMELY MANNER WITH THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH THEREIN WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SUCH RIGHTS.

The record holders of the Shares that elect to exercise their appraisal rights with respect to the Merger are referred to as “Dissenting Stockholders,” and the Shares with respect to which they exercise appraisal rights are referred to as “Dissenting Shares.” If a Stockholder has a beneficial interest in Shares that are held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, and such Stockholder desires to perfect whatever appraisal rights that Stockholder may have, such beneficial Stockholder must consult with such broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal on your behalf by your bank, broker or other nominee.

A VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT BY A STOCKHOLDER WILL RESULT IN A WAIVER OF SUCH HOLDER’S APPRAISAL RIGHTS UNDER DELAWARE LAW. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE A SUBMITTED PROXY NOT MARKED “AGAINST” OR “ABSTAIN” WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE MERGER AGREEMENT, THE SUBMISSION OF A PROXY NOT MARKED “AGAINST” OR “ABSTAIN” WILL RESULT IN THE WAIVER OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

When the Merger becomes effective, Stockholders who have strictly complied and continue to strictly comply with the procedures prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to a judicial appraisal of the fair value of their Shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, and to receive payment of the fair value of their Shares in cash from Credible, as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger. The following is a brief summary of the statutory procedures that must be followed by a Stockholder in order to perfect appraisal rights under the DGCL. This summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the text of which is included as Annex C to this proxy statement. We advise any Stockholder considering demanding an appraisal to consult legal counsel.

In order to exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law, a Stockholder must be the Stockholder of record of the Shares as to which Credible appraisal rights are to be exercised on the Record Date for the Special Meeting and on the date that the written demand for appraisal described below is made, and the Stockholder must continuously hold such Shares through the Effective Time of the Merger. While Stockholders electing to exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL are not required to vote against the resolution to approve the Merger Proposal, a vote in favour of the resolution to adopt the Merger Agreement will result in a waiver of the holder’s right to appraisal rights.

A Stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such Stockholder’s Shares must deliver to Credible, before the taking of the vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement, a written demand for appraisal of such Stockholder’s Shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs Credible of the identity of the Stockholder and that the Stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such Stockholder’s Shares. A proxy or vote against the approval of the Merger Proposal will not constitute

For personal use only use personal For such a demand. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Written Demands” for additional information regarding written demand requirements.

Within 10 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, Credible, as the Surviving Corporation, must provide notice of the date of effectiveness of the Merger to all Stockholders who have not voted for approval of the Merger Agreement and who have otherwise complied with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL.

67

4. The Merger

STOCKHOLDERS WHO HOLD THEIR SHARES IN BROKERAGE OR BANK ACCOUNTS OR OTHER NOMINEE FORMS AND WHO WISH TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE, AS APPLICABLE, TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES FOR THE BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE TO MAKE A DEMAND FOR APPRAISAL OF THOSE SHARES. A PERSON HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SHARES HELD OF RECORD IN THE NAME OF ANOTHER PERSON, SUCH AS A BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE, MUST ACT PROMPTLY TO CAUSE THE STOCKHOLDER OF RECORD TO FOLLOW PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER THE STEPS NECESSARY TO PERFECT APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

A Stockholder who elects to exercise appraisal rights must mail or deliver the written demand for appraisal to:

Credible Labs Inc. Principal Place of Business 22 4th Street, Floor 8 San Francisco, CA 94103 United States Attention: Investor Relations

Within 120 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, any Dissenting Stockholder who has strictly complied with the procedures prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from Credible, as the Surviving Corporation, a statement of the aggregate number of Shares not voted in favour of the Merger and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received by Credible, and the aggregate number of holders of those Shares. This statement must be mailed to the Dissenting Stockholder within 10 days after the Dissenting Stockholder’s written request has been received by Credible, as the Surviving Corporation, or within 10 days after the date of the Effective Time of the Merger, whichever is later.

Within 120 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, any Dissenting Stockholder who has strictly complied with the procedures prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a copy served on Credible, as the Surviving Corporation, demanding a determination of the fair value of each Share of all Dissenting Stockholders. However, any Stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 but has not commenced or joined an appraisal proceeding has the right to withdraw the appraisal demand any time within 60 days after the Effective Time of the Merger.

If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed by a Dissenting Stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to Credible, as the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation will then be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service, to provide the Delaware Court of Chancery with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of any Dissenting Stockholders with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached. Upon the filing of any such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing on the petition be mailed to the Surviving Corporation and all of the Stockholders shown on the list described above at the addresses stated therein. Such notice will also be published at least one week before the day of the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware, or in another publication determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

The Delaware Court of Chancery will conduct a hearing upon the petition, and determine those Stockholders that have complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and that have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the Dissenting Stockholders to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; if any Dissenting Stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to that Stockholder. For personal use only use personal For After determining the Stockholders entitled to appraisal rights, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the Shares owned by those Stockholders by determining the fair value of the Shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with the fair rate of interest to be paid, if any, on the amount determined to be the fair value. When fair value is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of that value, with interest, if any,

68

4. The Merger

by the Surviving Corporation to the Stockholders entitled to appraisal rights, upon surrender to the Surviving Corporation of the certificates representing those Shares.

Although the parties believe that the Merger Consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and Stockholders should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value higher or lower than, or the same as, the consideration they would receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Moreover, we do not anticipate offering more than the Per Share Merger Consideration to any Stockholder exercising appraisal rights and reserve the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262 of the DGCL, the “fair value” of a Share is less than the Per Share Merger Consideration. In determining “fair value,” the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered and that “fair price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which could be ascertained as of the date of the Merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Stockholders should be aware that opinions as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration are not opinions as to fair value under Section 262 of the DGCL.

If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery by Credible, as the Surviving Corporation, or any Dissenting Stockholder within 120 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, then the Dissenting Stockholders’ rights to appraisal will cease and they will be entitled only to receive Merger Consideration paid in the Merger on the same basis as other Stockholders. Since Credible, as the Surviving Corporation, has no obligation to file a petition, any Stockholder who desires a petition to be filed is advised to file it on a timely basis. No petition timely filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding appraisal shall be dismissed as to any Stockholder, however, without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, which may be conditioned on any terms the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just.

The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a Dissenting Stockholder who has strictly complied with the procedures prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL, the court may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any Dissenting Stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all Shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of this determination or assessment, each party bears its own expenses.

After the Effective Time of the Merger, a Dissenting Stockholder that has timely demanded appraisal in compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL will not be entitled to vote the Shares subject to such demand for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the Shares, except for dividends or other distributions payable to Stockholders of record at a date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.

At any time within 60 days after the Effective Time of the Merger, any Dissenting Stockholder will have the right to submit a written withdrawal of the Stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the right to receive Merger Consideration in the Merger on the same basis on which Shares are converted in the Merger. After this sixty day period, a Dissenting Stockholder may withdraw such Stockholder’s demand for appraisal only with the written consent of Credible or FOX and the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Written Demands

When submitting a written demand for appraisal under the DGCL, the written demand for appraisal

For personal use only use personal For must reasonably inform Credible of the identity of the Stockholder of record making the demand and indicate that the Stockholder intends to demand appraisal of the Stockholder’s Shares. A demand for appraisal should be executed by or for the Stockholder of record, fully and correctly, as that Stockholder’s name appears on the Stockholder’s stock certificate. If Shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, the demand should be executed by the fiduciary. If Shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an

69

4. The Merger

agent for two or more joint owners, should execute the demand for appraisal for a Stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner and expressly disclose the fact that, in exercising the demand, he, she or it is acting as agent for the record owner.

A record owner who holds Shares as a nominee for other beneficial owners of the Shares may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the Shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of the Shares for which the holder is the record owner. In that case, the written demand must state the number of Shares covered by the demand. Where the number of Shares is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all Shares outstanding in the name of that record owner. Beneficial owners (other than holders of Credible CDIs) who are not record owners and who intend to exercise appraisal rights should instruct the record owner to comply strictly with the statutory requirements with respect to the delivery of written demand prior to the taking of the vote on the Merger.

Stockholders considering whether to seek appraisal should bear in mind that the fair value of their Shares determined under Section 262 of the DGCL could be more than, the same as or less than the value of the right to receive Merger Consideration in the Merger. Also, Credible and FOX reserve the right to assert in any appraisal proceeding that, for purposes thereof, the “fair value” of the Shares are less than the value of the Merger Consideration to be issued in the Merger.

Any Stockholder who fails to strictly comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL, attached as Annex C to this proxy statement, will forfeit his, her or its rights to dissent from the Merger and to exercise appraisal rights and will receive Merger Consideration on the same basis as all other Stockholders.

Holders of Credible CDIs

HOLDERS OF CREDIBLE CDIS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER. HOLDERS OF CREDIBLE CDIS MUST HAVE CONVERTED THEIR CREDIBLE CDIS INTO SHARES PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING, AND OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH THE TERMS SET FORTH ABOVE, IN ORDER TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER.

THE PROCESS OF DISSENTING REQUIRES STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH TECHNICAL PREREQUISITES. THOSE INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES WISHING TO DISSENT AND TO EXERCISE THEIR APPRAISAL RIGHTS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN LEGAL COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLIANCE UNDER SECTION 262 OF THE DGCL. TO THE EXTENT THERE ARE ANY INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE FOREGOING SUMMARY AND SECTION 262 OF THE DGCL, THE DGCL SHALL PREVAIL.

6.4 Rollover and governance of the Intermediate Parent On 10 September 2019 (Sydney time), ASX provided written approval for the Rollover Stockholder to enter into the Rollover Agreement. As such, the Rollover Stockholder, FOX, and Intermediate Parent entered into a Rollover Agreement dated 18 September 2019, pursuant to which Rollover Stockholder committed to contribute, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, 3,526,980 Shares held by him (which collectively we refer to as the Rollover Shares) to Intermediate Parent in exchange for the issuance by Intermediate Parent to Rollover Stockholder of a 33.33% interest in the equity securities of Intermediate Parent.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Intermediate Parent will be amended and restated (the “A&R LLC Agreement”) to add Mr. Stephen Dash and certain of his affiliates as members of Intermediate Parent. Under the A&R LLC Agreement, Mr. Stephen Dash will have certain consent rights for so long as he and certain permitted transferees hold at least 10% of the equity interests of Intermediate Parent. Mr. Stephen Dash will also have customary pre-emptive rights, and the right to appoint up to two members to the board of directors of Intermediate Parent.

Also in connection with the consummation of the Merger, FOX, Rollover Stockholder and Credible will enter into a go-forward commercial agreement pursuant to which FOX and Credible would collaborate on advertising, promotional, media and editorial integrations.

See Section 10.2 for further information about the A&R LLC Agreement and the commercial agreement.

6.5 Rationale for Merger The acquisition of Credible underscores FOX's innovative digital strategy that emphasizes direct interactions with consumers to provide services they want and expand their engagement with FOX across platforms.

7. RISK FACTORS

Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs should consider carefully the risks associated with the Merger.

This Section provides a summary of risks only. This summary is not exhaustive and should be considered in conjunction with other information disclosed in this proxy statement. Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs with any doubt, having given due consideration to these risks and other information contained in this proxy statement, should consult their legal, investment, taxation, financial or other professional adviser.

There is a risk that the Merger will not be completed and that Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) will need to rely solely on Credible to succeed. There can be no assurance that the Merger will close. Should the Merger not occur, Credible would have to continue with its current business plan or find a new opportunity internally or with another acquirer. There can be no guarantee of performance in any such scenario. Furthermore, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, in certain instances, Credible could be forced to pay a termination fee of US$4 million.

The pendency of the Merger could have an adverse effect on the price of Credible CDIs and/or Credible’s business, financial condition, results of operations or business prospects. The pendency of the Merger could have an adverse effect on the price of Credible CDIs and increase the price volatility and risk of trading in Credible CDIs.

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the price of Credible CDIs and/or Credible’s business, financial condition, results of operations or business prospects. The completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions and there can be no assurance that the conditions to the Closing will be satisfied. If the Merger is not completed, Credible will be subject to several risks, including:

• time and resources committed by Credible management to matters relating to the Merger which could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities;

• certain of Credible’s executive officers and/or directors may seek other employment opportunities, and the departure of any of Credible’s executive officers and the possibility that Credible would be unable to recruit and hire a replacement executive could impact negatively on Credible’s business and operating results;

• the Credible Board would need to re-evaluate Credible’s strategic alternatives, which alternatives may include a sale of Credible, liquidation of Credible, or a return to pre-Merger strategies of growing commercial sales, or other strategic transactions;

• Credible has incurred substantial transaction costs in connection with the Merger and will be required to pay the costs relating to the transactions, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and printing fees, whether or not the Merger is completed;

• Credible would not realize any of the anticipated benefits of having completed the Merger;

• For personal use only use personal For under the Merger Agreement, Credible is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to the completion of the Merger, which restrictions could adversely affect Credible’s ability to realize its business strategies or take advantage of certain business opportunities in the event the Merger is not completed;

• a termination fee of US$4 million may be payable by Credible to FOX under certain circumstances;

79

7. Risk Factors

• if Credible determines to seek another business combination, it may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Merger Agreement;

• the current trading price of Credible CDIs may reflect a market assumption that the Merger will occur, meaning that a failure to complete the Merger could result in a decline in the price of Credible CDIs; and

• in order to continue growing its business and to maintain and extend its market leadership, Credible would need to raise a significant amount of capital over the next 6-12 months, and any such capital raise would be dilutive to Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that may discourage a potential competing acquirer of Credible. The Merger Agreement contains “no shop” provisions that restrict Credible’s ability to solicit, encourage, facilitate or discuss competing third-party proposals to acquire shares or assets of Credible, even if such alternative transactions may result in more return to our Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs).

These provisions may discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Credible from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share or per CDI cash or market value than the market value proposed to be received or realized in the Merger. Though, under certain circumstances, the Credible Board or the Special Committee may determine in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

The Fairness Opinion will not reflect changes, circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date thereof.

PJT Partners, the Special Committee’s financial advisor in connection with the Merger, has delivered to the Special Committee a written Fairness Opinion, dated August 3, 2019, to the effect that, as of the date thereof and based on and subject to, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by PJT Partners in connection with the opinion (which are stated therein), the consideration to be received by the Stockholders and the holders of Credible CDIs (in each case, other than Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates) in the Merger was fair to such holders from a financial point of view.

The Special Committee has not obtained an updated Fairness Opinion as of the date of this proxy statement from PJT Partners, and the Special Committee does not expect to receive an updated Fairness Opinion prior to the completion of the Merger.

The Fairness Opinion does not reflect changes, circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the Fairness Opinion, including changes in the operations and prospects of Credible, regulatory or legal changes, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Credible, and on which the Fairness Opinion may have been based, and that may alter the value of Credible or the prices of Shares and Credible CDIs at the Effective Time. The Fairness Opinion does not speak as of the time the Merger will be completed or as of any date other than the date set forth in the Fairness Opinion. The Special Committee does not anticipate asking PJT Partners to update its Fairness Opinion, and PJT Partners has no obligation or responsibility to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the Fairness Opinion.

For a more complete description of the Fairness Opinion, please refer to the Section 4.4 of this proxy For personal use only use personal For statement.

7. Risk Factors

Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs will not be provided with certain projections prepared by management regarding Credible’s projected growth Credible does not make (and has not made) public forecasts or internal projections as to future revenues, earnings, or other results due to, among other reasons, the significant uncertainty inherent in the underlying assumptions and estimates given the growth stage of the company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, management prepared certain unaudited projections regarding Credible’s prospective performance through fiscal year 2023. Some or all of the projections were provided to FOX in connection with its evaluation of the proposed transaction and to the Special Committee’s financial advisor for its use in connection with the financial analyses that it performed in connection with rendering its opinion as described herein.

Notwithstanding, the foregoing, the projections were prepared solely for internal use and were not prepared with a view toward (or reviewed to a standard that would reasonably expected to be required for the purposes of) public disclosure, nor were they prepared with a view toward compliance with Australian accounting standards, IFRS or GAAP, published guidelines of ASX, ASIC or any regulatory body or the guidelines established with respect to Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information.

After consultation with its outside advisors, the Credible Board determined that, based on its understanding of applicable Australian law, the projections should not be provided to Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs or published in this proxy statement or otherwise.

Credible may become subject to litigation initiated in connection with the Merger, which could be time consuming and divert the resources and attention of the Credible Board and Credible’s management team. Transactions such as the Merger are often subject to lawsuits by securityholders. While there is no litigation known to the parties as of the date of this proxy statement, Credible and the Directors may in future be named as defendants relating to the Merger Agreement and the proposed Merger, including direct actions by the Stockholders against the Directors and/or executive officers of Credible for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty or derivative actions brought by Stockholders in the name of Credible. Additionally, Credible may become subject to additional litigation by third parties related to the Merger, including actions brought by persons with other business relationships with Credible. Such claims could, among other things, seek to challenge or enjoin the Merger or seek monetary damages. The defense of any such lawsuits may be expensive and may divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect Credible’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Notwithstanding completion of the Merger, any liabilities arising out of actions by Stockholders will be retained by Credible.

There is no guarantee that voting FOR the Merger Proposal is the best option for Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs)

Stockholders have the option to either vote FOR the Merger Proposal or vote against the Merger Proposal, and holders of Credible CDIs have the option to instruct CDN to either vote FOR the Merger Proposal or against the Merger Proposal. If Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs vote FOR the Merger Proposal or instruct CDN to vote FOR the Merger Proposal (as applicable) and the Merger is consummated, Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs will receive certainty and immediate value for their Shares and Credible CDIs (as applicable). If Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs vote against the Merger Proposal or instruct CDN to vote against the Merger Proposal (as applicable) or the Merger is otherwise not consummated, while they will continue to be subject to the uncertainties associated with the Credible business and general market risks, they will also continue to be subject to the possibility of growth, an increase in the value of their investment and of sharing in the success of the Credible business. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a Superior Proposal would not arise in

For personal use only use personal For the future that may provide Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs with higher cash consideration for their Shares or Credible CDIs. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that voting FOR, or instructing CDN to vote FOR, the Merger Proposal (as applicable) is the best option for Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs. Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs should evaluate an investment in our securities in light of these uncertainties.

8. THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The summary of the material provisions of the Merger Agreement below and elsewhere in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and which we incorporate by reference into this proxy statement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. We encourage you to read and consider carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety.

The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts. Except as it relates to their rights to receive the Merger Consideration following the Merger, as set forth in Section 8.6 of the Merger Agreement, Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement, and in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof were not intended by the parties to the Merger Agreement to be characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Credible, FOX, or Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

8.1 The Merger

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into Credible. Credible will survive the Merger.

8.2 Effects of the Merger; Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws; Directors and Officers

The Closing of the Merger will occur three Business Days after all of the conditions to the Closing of the Merger contained in the Merger Agreement (which are described in Section 8.19 of this proxy statement) are satisfied or waived, including receipt of the Stockholder Approval. The Merger will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as FOX and Credible may agree in such certificate of merger. We currently expect to complete the Merger shortly after the Special Meeting that has been scheduled for Tuesday, 15 October 2019, at 11:00am Sydney, Australia time (on Monday, 15 October 2019, at 5:00pm San Francisco, U.S. time). However, it is possible that factors outside of our control could require us to complete the Merger at a later time, or not complete it at all.

From and after the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation will consist of the directors of Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly appointed or elected or until the earlier of their death, resignation, or removal. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of the Surviving Corporation will consist of the officers of Credible as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation, or removal.

8.3 Merger Consideration and Conversion of Capital Stock For personal use only use personal For If the Merger is completed, Stockholders will receive the Per Share Merger Consideration of A$55.25 in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding tax, in exchange for each Share (other than the Excluded Shares, Restricted Shares, Depositary Shares and Dissenting Shares) that they own. Holders of Credible CDIs will receive the Per CDI Merger Consideration of A$2.21 in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding tax, in exchange for each Credible CDI that they own.

82

8. The Merger Agreement

The Per Share Merger Consideration of A$55.25 is set out in the Merger Agreement and denominated in Australian dollars. The Per CDI Merger Consideration of A$2.21 is set out in the Merger Agreement and denominated in Australian dollars.

After the Merger is completed, Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs), will have the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but will no longer have any rights as a Stockholder or holder of Credible CDIs as a result of the Merger.

Stockholders will receive the Merger Consideration after properly completing and returning the letter of transmittal to be sent to the Stockholders shortly after Closing of the Merger. Holders of Credible CDIs are not required to exchange their holding statement(s) in order to receive the Per CDI Merger Consideration. Computershare will arrange for the Merger Consideration to be sent to holders of Credible CDIs on behalf of CDN.

8.4 Exchange and Payment Procedures

Prior to the Effective Time, FOX will select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Credible to act as the Paying Agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration to former Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs. At or prior to the Effective Time, FOX will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Paying Agent the cash funds necessary to pay for the Shares and Credible CDIs converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration.

Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event no later than two Business Days after the Effective Time), Credible will cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Stockholder of record of Shares (excluding CDN and the holder of any Rollover Shares with respect to such Rollover Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of certificates representing any Shares (“Certificates”) or, in the case of any Shares not represented by Certificates (“Book-Entry Shares”), effecting the surrender of effective affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration to such holder.

Upon surrender of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the paying agent, or in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to applicable withholding tax.

No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable in connection with the Merger upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

Prior to the Effective Time, FOX and Credible will establish procedures to ensure that:

• CDN delivers to the Paying Agent the Certificates representing Shares that are underlying Credible CDIs;

• CDN delivers to the Paying Agent a list of Credible CDI holders as of the Effective Time, including sufficient information for the Paying Agent to make payment of the Per CDI Merger Consideration to such CDI holders;

• Credible requests to the ASX to suspend trading of Credible CDIs at least two Business Days prior to the anticipated date of Closing; and

• promptly after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent makes payment of the Per CDI Merger Consideration without interest to the holders of Credible CDIs as of the Effective Time for each

Credible CDI held by such holders. For personal use only use personal For If any Certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, and, if required by FOX or the paying agent, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as FOX or the paying agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate.

83

8. The Merger Agreement

If any cash deposited with the Paying Agent (including any interest received thereon) is not claimed within 180 days after the date of Closing, such cash will be returned to the Surviving Corporation, and any Stockholders or holders of Credible CDIs who have not complied with the exchange procedures in the Merger Agreement will thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation as general creditor for payment of the Merger Consideration. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such persons by the earlier of (i) five years following the date of Closing or (ii) the time at which such amounts would revert and become the property of any governmental authority will, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of FOX (or at FOX’s election, the Surviving Corporation), free and clear of any claims or interest of any holder previously entitled thereto.

8.5 Appraisal Rights

Stockholders who do not vote in favour of the Merger Proposal and who otherwise comply with the statutory requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL are entitled to certain appraisal rights under Delaware law, as described below and in Annex C to this proxy statement. Those holders who perfect their appraisal rights by strictly following certain procedures in the manner prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to receive payment of the “fair value” (as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery) of their Shares in cash from the Surviving Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Credible agreed not to, except with the prior written consent of FOX, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal under the DGCL, or agree to do any of the foregoing. If any dissenting Stockholder effectively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) its right to obtain payment for the fair value of that Stockholder’s Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL, then that Stockholder will no longer be a dissenting Stockholder and that Stockholder’s Shares will be treated as if they had, as of the Effective Time, been converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. See Section 4.12 entitled “The Merger— Appraisal Rights” for additional information.

8.6 Treatment of Company Equity Awards

Vested Stock Options At the Effective Time, each Vested Stock Option will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment, equal to, (1) the Per Share Merger Consideration, less the applicable exercise price per Share attributable to such Vested Stock Option, multiplied by (2) the total number of Shares issuable upon exercise in full of such Vested Stock Option; provided that if the exercise price per Share is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Vested Stock Option will be cancelled for no consideration. The Vested Option Consideration will be made in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to the United States dollar as of the Effective Time. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to the United States dollar through to the Effective Time will affect the amount of U.S. dollars received in respect of each cancelled Vested Stock Option. The Merger Agreement further provides that no later than five Business Days after Closing of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will pay to each holder of Vested Stock Options the aggregate Vested Option Consideration payable to the applicable holders of the Vested Stock Options. Unvested Stock Options At the Effective Time, each Unvested Stock Option will automatically be converted into an option to acquire, subject to substantially the same terms as were applicable to each Unvested Stock Option, the number of shares of common stock in FOX equal to, (1) the number of Shares subject to the Unvested Stock Options multiplied by (2) an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration divided by the market price of shares of common stock in FOX calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in the

Merger Agreement. For personal use only use personal For Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to the United States dollar through to the Effective Time will affect the number of shares of common stock in FOX received in respect of each Unvested Stock Option.

8.10 Special Meeting of Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs)

Unless the Merger Agreement is terminated, Credible has agreed to, on a date selected by Credible in consultation with FOX, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than 30 calendar days after the mailing of this proxy statement), take all action required under the applicable law, Credible’s certificate of incorporation, Credible’s bylaws, the organizational documents of Credible’s subsidiaries, and the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) for the purpose of approving the Merger Proposal (including any adjournment or postponement thereof). Credible may postpone, recess, or adjourn the Special Meeting:

• to the extent required by law;

• to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies to obtain approval of the Merger Proposal by the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) at the Special Meeting;

• in the absence of a quorum;

• to allow reasonable additional time for the dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Credible Board has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is necessary under applicable law and for supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs prior to the Special Meeting to the extent so determined to be necessary; or

• with FOX’s written consent.

Other than pursuant to the first two bullet points above, the Special Meeting cannot be postponed, recessed or adjourned to a date more than 30 calendar days after the date the Special Meeting was originally scheduled, and, in any event, to a date fewer than 3 Business Days prior to the End Date without FOX’s prior written consent. Credible is also required, at the request of FOX and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to adjourn the Special Meeting to a date mutually agreed with FOX for the circumstances described in the second and third bullet points above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credible will not be required to adjourn the Special Meeting more than two times pursuant to the preceding sentence, and no adjournment pursuant to this sentence will be for a period exceed 10 Business Days.

In addition, unless the Credible Board or the Special Committee makes a Recommendation Change in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and in connection with an Intervening Event or Superior Proposal (or the Merger Agreement is terminated in connection with a Superior Proposal), Credible has agreed to, by acting through the Credible Board (upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee), recommend that the Stockholders vote in favour of the proposal to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement and that the holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote in favour of the proposal to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement, include such recommendation For personal use only use personal For in this proxy statement, and use its reasonable best efforts to solicit and obtain from the Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs proxies in favour of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger Proposal.

8. The Merger Agreement

8.11 No Solicitation of Other Acquisition Proposals

From the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, Credible has agreed to certain “no-shop” obligations (“no-shop obligations”) prohibiting Credible, the Credible Board, the Special Committee or any of Credible’s affiliates or their respective representatives from:

• soliciting, initiating, or inducing, or knowingly taking any action with the intent of encouraging or facilitating the submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal, or inquiries, proposal or offers the would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal;

• entering into or participating in any discussions or negotiations with, furnishing any information relating to Credible or any of its affiliates or affording access to the business, properties, assets, books, or records of Credible or any of its affiliates to, or otherwise cooperating in any way with, assisting, or knowingly taking any action with the intent of facilitating any person (other than FOX, Merger Sub, and their respective affiliates and representatives and whether or not a person making an Acquisition Proposal) to, or knowingly cooperating in any way with any person (other than FOX, Merger Sub and their respective affiliates and representatives and whether or not a person making an Acquisition Proposal) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal;

• approving, recommending, or declaring advisable, or proposing to approve, recommend, or declare advisable, or permitting Credible or any of its affiliates to execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement partnership agreement, regulatory filing or other agreement or arrangement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, an “Acquisition Agreement”), constituting or relating to, or that would be reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal or that requires or would reasonably be expected to cause Credible to abandon, terminate, otherwise materially delay or fail to consummate, or would otherwise materially impede or interfere with, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; or

• resolving, proposing, or agreeing to do any of the foregoing.

In addition, Credible has agreed (and has agreed to cause its affiliates and its and their respective representatives to):

• cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any persons or their representatives that would be prohibited by the preceding bullets above;

• request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information concerning Credible or its affiliates previously furnished to any person with whom such discussions or negotiations are ongoing;

• terminate any physical and electronic data room access (or diligence access) of such persons; and

• take the necessary actions to enforce (and not waive, amend, or release) any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar provisions to which Credible is a party or beneficiary; provided that the Credible Board (or any committee thereof) may grant a waiver, amendment or release of such provisions if it determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that failure

For personal use only use personal For to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Directors’ fiduciary duties under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Credible must also promptly, and in any event within 24 hours, advise FOX of any proposals or offers received with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, keep FOX informed of the status and details thereof and provide FOX with copies of all written material exchanged between Credible and any person (and its affiliates) making an Acquisition Proposal.

91

8. The Merger Agreement

Superior Proposals Notwithstanding these restrictions, under certain circumstances, prior to obtaining the requisite Stockholder Approval, Credible and its representatives may engage or participate in discussions or negotiations with, and furnish information relating to Credible or its affiliates (provided that such information has previously been furnished to FOX or is furnished to FOX within 24 hours) pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to any person (and its representatives) that has made to Credible an unsolicited, written bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date of the Merger Agreement (in each case, if such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of Credible’s no-shop obligations, as described in the bullets above), if the Credible Board or the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and, in each case, the failure to take such actions in respect of such Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

8.12 The Credible Board’s Recommendation; Company Recommendation Change

Company Recommendation Subject to the provisions described below, the Credible Board, based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, has unanimously recommended that Stockholders vote in favour of the Merger Proposal and holders of Credible CDIs instruct CDN to vote in favour of the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting (the “Company Recommendation”). The Credible Board also agreed to include the Company Recommendation in this proxy statement. Subject to the provisions described below, the Merger Agreement provides that neither the Credible Board nor any committee of the Credible Board (including the Special Committee) will:

• withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to FOX in any material respect;

• fail to include the Company Recommendation in this proxy statement;

• adopt, authorize, approve, accept, endorse, declare advisable or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, or publicly propose to adopt, authorize, approve, accept, endorse, declare advisable or recommend an Acquisition Proposal;

• fail to reaffirm the Company Recommendation following the public announcement of an Acquisition Proposal by the later to occur of (i) 10 Business Days prior to the date of the Special Meeting and (ii) 10 Business Days after FOX so requests in writing; or

• make any recommendation in support of a tender or exchange offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal or fail to recommend against such a tender or exchange offer within 10 Business Days of the commencement of such offer.

Each of the foregoing actions is referred to as a “Recommendation Change.”

Notwithstanding the provisions described above, the Merger Agreement does not prohibit Credible from (i) recommending against a tender or exchange offer or making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs), or (ii) making any disclosure to its Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) if the Credible Board or the Special Committee determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be

92

8. The Merger Agreement

Recommendation Change and Superior Proposal Termination Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, prior to the approval of the Merger Proposal by Stockholders and holders of Credible CDIs, the Credible Board or Special Committee may (1) effect a Recommendation Change if there has been an Intervening Event (as defined below); or (2) effect a Recommendation Change or terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an Acquisition Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Termination”) in the event that Credible has received an unsolicited, written bona fide Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of the Merger Agreement, that the Credible Board or Special Committee has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, in each case, to the extent a failure to effect a Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

In addition, the Credible Board or Special Committee may only effect a Recommendation Change or Superior Proposal Termination if:

• Credible has provided prior written notice to FOX at least four Business Days in advance to the effect that the Credible Board or the Special Committee so intends, which notice must specify the basis for such Recommendation Change or Superior Proposal Termination, as applicable, including a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances relating to the Intervening Event, or if in connection with a Superior Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, the identity of the third-party making such Superior Proposal, and the most recent draft of any written agreement, proposal or other document relating thereto, provided that in the event of any material amendment to the terms of a Superior Proposal, Credible shall be required to deliver a new written notice to FOX, except that the deadline for such new written notice shall be only two Business Days;

• prior to effecting such Recommendation Change, Credible, during the applicable period, must have negotiated with FOX in good faith (to the extent FOX wishes to negotiate) to allow FOX to offer such adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement such that the Recommendation Change is no longer necessary or the Superior Proposal ceases to be a Superior Proposal; and

• following such four business-day period, the Credible Board or the Special Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account FOX’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement), has determined that the failure to effect a Recommendation Change would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under the laws of the State of Delaware.

In the event of a Superior Proposal Termination in accordance with the foregoing, Credible must pay to FOX the termination fee (as described in Section 8.22, below) immediately prior to or concurrently with the termination of the Merger Agreement and must enter into a definitive Acquisition Agreement concurrently therewith or promptly thereafter.

8.13 Efforts to Close the Merger and the Transactions

Credible, FOX, and Merger Sub agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to cause the conditions to the Merger to be satisfied. Credible, FOX, and Merger Sub also agreed to promptly take or cause to be taken promptly, all appropriate actions and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as soon as

practicable, including using reasonable best efforts to: For personal use only use personal For • obtain from any governmental authority any consents, licenses, waivers, approvals, authorizations, registrations, permits, orders or other confirmations necessary, proper or advisable to be obtained by FOX or Credible or any of their respective subsidiaries, or to avoid any legal proceeding by any governmental authority, in connection with the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby;

93

8. The Merger Agreement

• obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any governmental authority) reasonably requested by FOX to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; except that none of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries are required to make any payment to such third parties or concede anything of value in any case prior to the Effective Time in order to obtain any such consent, clearance, approval or waiver; and • promptly furnish information and documentation required in connection with such registrations, submissions and filings under antitrust laws as are required to be submitted in connection with the HSR filings discussed below and under applicable law as are required to be submitted pursuant to the state regulatory approvals discussed below and as may be required or reasonably requested by any governmental authority pursuant thereto.

Within 10 Business Days after the date of the Merger Agreement, Credible, FOX, and Merger Sub agreed to make their respective filings and other submissions required to be filed by the HSR Act.

As soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, Credible, FOX, and Merger Sub agreed to make their respective applications, notices, petitions, filings and other submissions required to be filed in connection with obtaining certain specified state regulatory approvals and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all other actions as necessary to obtain such approvals.

Except where prohibited by applicable law or any governmental authority, each of Credible, FOX, and Merger Sub have agreed to: • promptly inform the other parties, and if in writing, furnish the others with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other parties of) any communication from any governmental authority relating to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby and permit the other parties to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the others in relation to) any proposed analyses, appearances, presentations memoranda, briefs white papers, arguments, opinions and proposals related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby before making or submitting any of the foregoing to any governmental authority and provide all other parties with copies of the same following the submission thereof (or in the case of oral communications, advise the other parties of the contents thereof); • keep the other parties reasonably informed of any developments, meetings or discussions with any governmental authority in respect of any filings, investigation, or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and • consult with each other, to the extent practicable, in advance of any meeting or discussions with any governmental authority and, to the extent practicable and permitted by the governmental authority, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and discussions in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Each of Credible and FOX may designate any non-public information provided to any governmental authority as restricted to outside antitrust counsel and, accordingly, any such information will not be shared with employees, officers, or directors or their equivalents of the other party without the approval of the party providing the non-public information. Each of FOX and Credible may redact the information described in the preceding sentence as necessary to (i) remove any valuation and related information or (ii) address any contractual arrangements or reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns prior to sharing with another party. Additionally, FOX may redact information related to the Murdoch family or the Murdoch Family Trust that FOX, in its good faith judgment, considers to be confidential information that is not (and is not reasonably expected to become) a part of any other publicly available information. FOX will, following consultation with Credible, direct the parties’ efforts to obtain regulatory clearance.

For personal use only use personal For Further, FOX has agreed that, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing, neither FOX nor any of its affiliates will enter into any contracts to acquire any other business if such proposed acquisition (i) would reasonably be expected to increase the market power attributable to FOX and its affiliates in a manner materially adverse to obtaining (A) clearance or the expiration of the required waiting periods under the HSR Act or (B) the state regulatory approvals set forth on the disclosure schedule or (ii) would otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

8. The Merger Agreement

8.14 Indemnification and Insurance

Following the Effective Time, subject to the limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Surviving Corporation will indemnify and hold harmless each current and former director and officer of Credible and its subsidiaries (in each case, to the extent acting in that capacity) for matters existing or occurring prior to or at the Effective Time (including the fact that that person is or was a director or officer of Credible or any of its subsidiaries and any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to the Effective Time) and advance expenses incurred by that indemnified party in the defence of any proceeding (provided that, to the extent required under the laws of the State of Delaware, the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay those advances if it is ultimately determined that that person is not entitled to indemnification).

The provisions in the Surviving Corporation’s and its subsidiaries’ organizational documents with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors and officers will be no less favourable to those directors and officers than the provisions contained in Credible’s or those subsidiaries’ organizational documents as in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

Additionally, for a period of six years following the Effective Time, FOX will cause to be maintained in effect, the coverage of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by Credible and its subsidiaries as of the date of the Merger Agreement either through Credible’s existing provider or another provider reasonably and mutually selected by FOX and Credible. However, FOX is not required to pay in the aggregate for such coverage under such policies more than 300% of the last annual premium paid by Credible prior to the date of the Merger Agreement in respect of the coverage required to be obtained under each such policy, but in that case must purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for that amount. In lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, Credible or FOX may purchase a six year “tail” policy providing at least the same coverage and amounts, with deductibles no larger than in the existing policies and containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured than the existing policies maintained by Credible and its subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby. However, the cost of such “tail” policy cannot exceed more than 300% of the last annual premium paid by Credible prior to the date of the Merger Agreement.

The indemnification and insurance provisions of the Merger Agreement summarized above are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, the indemnified persons and their respective heirs or executors, or administrators.

8.15 Transaction Litigation

Credible and FOX have each agreed to promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) notify the other of the initiation of any litigation related to the Merger Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that is brought against Credible, its affiliates, its officers, or any members of the Credible Board after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Effective Time. Credible agreed to give FOX the opportunity to participate in (but not control), the defence of any such litigation (and to keep FOX reasonably informed regarding the status thereof) and further agree not to settle any such transaction litigation without FOX’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). However, neither Credible nor its subsidiaries will be required to provide FOX with such information as would, as determined by Credible’s outside counsel, breach any agreement with any third party, waive attorney-client privilege held by Credible or violate applicable law.

For personal use only use personal For As of the date of this proxy statement, no litigation has been filed relating to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

8. The Merger Agreement

8.16 Employee Matters

The Merger Agreement provides that, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, each employee of Credible or its subsidiaries who remains employed following the Merger, who we refer to as a “continuing employee”, will be provided with base salaries, wages and annual incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favourable to those provided by Credible and our subsidiaries on an employee-by-employee basis immediately prior to the Effective Time and all other material employee benefits (excluding change of control benefits, retention bonuses and equity incentive awards) that are no less favourable than the employee benefits provided by Credible and our subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Credible benefit plans set forth on the disclosure schedule. Further, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, the Merger Agreement provides that FOX will provide or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide severance benefits required under the applicable severance benefit plans and arrangements of Credible and our subsidiaries as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement.

In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that FOX will give the continuing employees credit (for the purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting but not for defined benefit pension plan accrual, early retirement subsidies or for any purposes under any long-term incentive plan or equity base benefit plan) for their service with Credible prior to the Merger in connection with any employee benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Corporation, except where such credit would result in the duplication of benefits.

With respect to the continuing employees, the Merger Agreement further provides that (i) FOX will cause the Surviving Corporation to cause (x) any eligibility waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions and limitations and (y) actively-at-work requirements to be waived for continuing employees and their dependents; and (ii) payments that count towards employees’ deductibles, co-insurance, and out-of- pocket maximums to be taken into account under applicable plans following the Effective Time.

8.17 Delisting of Credible CDIs

Prior to Closing of the Merger, Credible will take all actions that are necessary or appropriate to provide that the Credible CDIs will, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled and that the Shares and Credible CDIs will be exchanged for their applicable share of Merger Consideration. Credible will apply to the ASX to cause Credible to be delisted from the ASX with effect as of the Effective Time (or such other date as determined by the ASX).

8.18 Other Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains certain other covenants and agreements, including covenants relating to:

• access to Credible’s employees, properties, contracts, books and records and information concerning Credible’s (and its subsidiaries’) financial and operating data, business, properties, and personnel;

• the preparation and filing of this proxy statement;

• public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

• actions to be taken by Credible and FOX with respect to notifying the other party of certain matters;

• ensuring that no state anti-takeover laws become applicable to the transactions contemplated For personal use only use personal For by the Merger Agreement and that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms of the Merger Agreement and otherwise eliminating or minimizing the effects of such anti-takeover laws on the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

• obtaining the resignations of the Directors.

8.19 Conditions to the Completion of the Merger and the Transactions

The obligations of FOX and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Credible, on the other hand, to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permitted by applicable law) of each of the following conditions:

• the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite affirmative vote of (i) holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (including Shares represented by Credible CDIs) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and (ii) holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (including Shares represented by Credible CDIs) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting excluding those held by Mr. Stephen Dash and his affiliates;

• the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and all requisite approvals and consents applicable thereto have been obtained. On August 23, 2019, Credible and FOX were notified by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act was granted, effective immediately. Therefore, the Closing condition of the Merger Agreement relating to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has been satisfied;

• the consummation of the Merger not being restrained, enjoined, rendered illegal or otherwise prohibited or prevented by any law or order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction; and

• all waivers, confirmations or approvals required to be obtained by ASX in connection with the Merger, including ASX’s consent to the Rollover Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby, the early release of the Escrowed Securities, and to the extent the adjustment approval is not obtained, to dispense with the requirement to obtain Stockholder approval to adjust the terms of the Stock Options and Restricted Shares. On 10 September 2019 (Sydney time), all waivers, confirmations or approvals required to be obtained by ASX in connection with the Merger were granted by ASX and therefore the Closing condition of the Merger Agreement relating to ASX approval has been satisfied.

In addition, the obligations of FOX and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permitted by applicable law) of each of the following additional conditions:

• the representations and warranties of Credible relating to certain aspects of Credible capitalization and ownership of its subsidiaries being true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and the date on which the Closing occurs, except for inaccuracies that are de minimis;

• the representations and warranties of Credible relating to the absence of a Credible Material Adverse Effect are true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Effective Time as if made as of such time;

• the representations and warranties of Credible relating to organization, good standing, corporate power, compliance with laws and permits, the opinion of PJT Partners, brokers, and anti-takeover laws, disregarding all qualifications exceptions relating to materiality, Credible Material Adverse Effect, or other similar qualifiers, being true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Effective Time as if made at and as of such time;

Except as described above or expressly in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement provides that each of Credible, FOX, and Merger Sub will pay its own costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement except that the parties will share expenses incurred in connection with state regulatory approvals or filings under antitrust laws equally.

Any provision of the Merger Agreement may be amended or waived before the Effective Time if the amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to the Merger Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective, except that after adoption of the Merger Agreement by Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs), the parties may not amend or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement if such amendment or waiver would require further approval of Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) under applicable law (including the DGCL) or in accordance with the rules of the ASX unless such approval has first been obtained.

8.25 Assignment

Neither party may assign the Merger Agreement or any of its rights under the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to the Merger Agreement, except that FOX and Merger Sub have the right to assign all or any portion of their rights and obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement to any of their affiliates, provided that such assignment by FOX or Merger Sub does not (i) relieve FOX or Merger Sub of any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement or enlarge, alter, or change any obligation of Credible, or (ii) impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

8.27 Governing Law; Jurisdiction

The Merger Agreement is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to choice or conflict of law principles thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

The parties to the Merger Agreement have irrevocably agreed to: submit themselves to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the New Castle County in the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery will decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in connection with any matter arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement; not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or in the future have with respect to venue or inconvenient forum with respect to any such action or legal proceeding brought in such court; to accept a final judgment in any such matter as conclusive; and consent to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement.

8.28 Waiver of Jury Trial

Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding between the parties arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby.

8.29 Specific Enforcement

Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement is entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed not to oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of the Merger Agreement and to specifically enforce its terms is entitled to such an injunction without needing to demonstrate damages or post a bond or other security.

8.30 No Recourse

Credible, FOX and Merger Sub agree that no recourse under the Merger Agreement or any other agreement contemplated thereby or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with the Merger Agreement or any other agreement contemplated thereby may be had against any party’s or their respective affiliates’ direct or indirect shareholders or equityholders, manager, members, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, representatives or agents (or the respective former, current, or future direct or indirect shareholders or equityholders, members, managers, directors, employees, affiliates,

This section describes the material terms of the Voting Agreement. The description in this section and elsewhere in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex D and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Voting Agreement that is important to you. You are encouraged to read the Voting Agreement carefully and in its entirety.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, on August 3, 2019, Mr. Stephen Dash and the Dash Family Trust (in this section, referred to as the “Covered Stockholders”) entered into the Voting Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2019, by and among FOX and the Covered Stockholders. Shares and Credible CDIs beneficially owned by the Covered Stockholders together with any other Shares, CDIs or other Stock Options that such Covered Stockholders may acquire in the future are subject to the Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement Shares”). As of the date of the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement Shares comprised 4,408,798 Shares, constituting approximately 43.6% of the total issued and outstanding Shares.

9.1 Agreement to Vote and Irrevocable Proxy

The Covered Stockholders have (i) agreed to vote the Voting Agreement Shares and (ii) granted to FOX an irrevocable proxy and irrevocably appointed FOX and any individuals designated by FOX (in FOX’s sole discretion), as their proxies and attorneys-in-fact, to vote the Voting Agreement Shares at every meeting of Stockholders (and holders of Credible CDIs) (and any adjournment or postponement thereof) as follows:

• in favour of the Merger Proposal and the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and all other agreements and actions related to the Merger Agreement;

• against any Acquisition Proposal;

• against any reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or winding-up of Credible or any other extraordinary transaction involving Credible;

• against any action, proposal or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Credible under the Merger Agreement or the Covered Stockholders under the Voting Agreement; and

• against any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that, to the knowledge of such Covered Stockholder, is intended, or could reasonably be expected to frustrate the purposes, prevent or delay or adversely affect the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Covered Stockholders remain free to vote the Voting Agreement Shares in any manner they deem appropriate with respect to any matter not covered by the foregoing.

The foregoing voting obligations will terminate upon the occurrence of a Recommendation Change by the Credible Board or the Special Committee, except that if the Credible Board or the Special Committee withdraws such Recommendation Change and thereafter recommends the adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Covered Stockholders will continue to be required to vote in favour of the Merger Proposal and adoption of the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing requirements will not prohibit the Covered Stockholders from transferring the Voting Agreement Shares to a qualified estate-planning vehicle so long as prior to such transfer, the vehicle delivers to FOX a written undertaking (in a form reasonably satisfactory to FOX) agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Voting Agreement.

9.3 Non-Solicitation

In addition, from and after August 3, 2019, each of the Covered Stockholders has agreed to not:

• solicit, initiate, induce or knowingly take any action to encourage or otherwise facilitate the submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiries, proposals or offers that would be reasonably be expected to lead to the Acquisition Proposal or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;

10. THE ROLLOVER AGREEMENT

This section describes the material terms of the Rollover Agreement. The description in this section and elsewhere in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Rollover Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex E and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Rollover Agreement that is important to you. You are encouraged to read the Rollover Agreement carefully and in its entirety.

On 10 September 2019 (Sydney time), ASX provided written approval for the Rollover Stockholder to enter into the Rollover Agreement. As such, the Rollover Stockholder, FOX, and Intermediate Parent entered into a Rollover Agreement dated on 18 September 2019, pursuant to which Rollover Stockholder committed to contribute, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, 3,526,980 Shares held by him (which collectively we refer to as the “Rollover Shares”) to Intermediate Parent in exchange for the issuance by Intermediate Parent to Rollover Stockholder of a 33.33% interest in the equity securities of Intermediate Parent.

10.1 Conditions to the Transfer of the Rollover Shares

The obligation of Rollover Stockholder to transfer the Rollover Shares is subject to the following conditions:

• that the required ASX approvals as described in Section 8.19 titled “Conditions to the Completion of the Merger” have been made or obtained;

• that all other Closing conditions under the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived; and

• that the Merger is consummated substantially simultaneously (but in all cases subsequently) with the transfer of Rollover Shares.

10.2 Certain Other Agreements

The Rollover Agreement also includes term sheets outlining material terms of (i) the A&R LLC Agreement, related to the post-Closing governance and management of Intermediate Parent, to be entered into between Intermediate Parent, Rollover Stockholder and FOX; and (ii) a go-forward commercial agreement related to certain content-sharing, co-production, and marketing arrangements to be entered into between FOX, Rollover Stockholder and Credible. As promptly as possible following the date of the Rollover Agreement and prior to the Closing, the anticipated parties to each of the respective agreements are obligated to negotiate the terms, conditions, and content of such agreement in good faith and consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in such agreement’s corresponding term sheet.

In the event that either the definitive amended and restated operating agreement or commercial agreement is not finalised on or prior to the Closing, (x) FOX, Intermediate Parent, and Rollover Stockholder are required to operate under the terms and conditions of the post-Closing governance term sheet or key commercial agreement term sheet as if such term sheet(s) were binding until the relevant definitive agreement(s) is executed; (y) the anticipated parties to such agreement(s) will continue to use good faith efforts to finalise the definitive agreement(s); and (z) when such definitive agreement(s) are finalised, the parties thereto will execute such agreement(s).

11. TAXATION IMPLICATIONS

11.1 Australian Tax Implications

The following general taxation comments provide an overview of the material Australian taxation implications of the disposal of Credible CDIs. The comments have been prepared on the basis that holders of Credible CDIs are Australian tax residents who hold their Credible CDIs on capital account.

The summary is necessarily general in nature. It does not take into account the specific circumstances of any holder of Credible CDIs. In particular, these comments do not apply to holders of Credible CDIs who:

• are non-residents of Australia for Australian tax purposes;

• hold their Credible CDIs as revenue assets, as trading stock, or are subject to the Taxation of Financial Arrangements provisions in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; or

• are financial institutions, insurance companies, tax exempt organisations, dealers in securities or shareholders who change their tax residency while holding the Credible CDIs.

11.2 Capital gains tax (“CGT”)

The disposal of Credible CDIs would give rise to a CGT event. A capital gain will arise where the capital proceeds on disposal exceed the cost base of the Credible CDIs (broadly, the amount paid to acquire the Credible CDIs plus any transaction costs incurred in relation to the acquisition or disposal of the Credible CDIs). With respect to the Merger, the capital proceeds will generally be the cash proceeds received for the disposal of Credible CDIs.

A CGT discount may be applied against any net capital gain where the holder of Credible CDIs is an individual, complying superannuation entity or trustee, and the Credible CDIs have been held for more than 12 months prior to the CGT event. Australian resident companies are not entitled to a CGT discount. Broadly, any current or prior year capital losses must first be applied to calculate the net capital gain for the relevant income year before it is discounted.

Where the CGT discount applies, any net capital gain arising to individuals and entities acting as trustee (other than a trust that is a complying superannuation entity) may be reduced by one-half. For a complying superannuation entity, any net capital gain may be reduced by one-third. A holder of Credible CDIs must include any net capital gains in their assessable income for the income year in which the Merger occurs (after the application of the CGT discount).

A capital loss will be realised where capital proceeds from disposal is less than the reduced cost base of the Credible CDIs. Capital losses may only be offset against capital gains realised by the holder of Credible CDIs in the same income year or future income years, subject to certain loss recoupment tests being satisfied. Capital losses cannot be offset against other assessable income.

11.3 GST and Stamp Duty

No GST or stamp duty will be payable by holders of Credible CDIs on disposal of their Credible CDIs under the Merger.

11.4 Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined below) whose Shares or Credible CDIs, as applicable, will be converted into the right to receive cash in the Merger. The following summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and interpretations with respect thereto, all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts, and, therefore, Credible cannot assure you that the tax consequences described in this summary will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS. No ruling from the IRS and no tax opinion of counsel has been or is anticipated to be sought with respect to the Merger, any transactions in connection with the Merger, or any of the tax matters discussed below.

The summary below is limited to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders who hold their Shares or Credible CDIs, as applicable, as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). The summary does not address the tax consequences of transactions occurring before, after, or at the same time as the Merger (whether or not such transactions are in connection with the Merger), including any tax consequences to the Rollover Stockholder, or any other transaction other than the Merger. The summary assumes that Credible has not been a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) at any time during the five years preceding the Merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The summary does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances and does not address the tax consequences to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders who are subject to special rules, including without limitation:

• persons who own (directly, indirectly or constructively) more than 5% of the total outstanding Shares of Credible (whether by holding Shares or Credible CDIs);

• certain former citizens or residents of the United States;

• insurance companies;

• dealers or brokers in securities or currencies;

• tax-exempt organizations;

• banks and financial institutions;

• traders in securities electing to mark to market;

• mutual funds;

• insurance companies;

• individual retirement accounts;

• cooperatives;

• S corporations;

For personal use only use personal For • pass-through entities and investors in such entities;

• holders of options or warrants to acquire Shares;

• persons whose Shares are qualified small business stock for purposes of Section 1202 of the Code;

106

11. Taxation Implications

• persons whose Shares are Code Section 1244 stock;

• persons who hold their Shares or Credible CDIs as a hedge or as part of a hedging, straddle, conversion, synthetic security, integrated investment or other risk-reduction transaction;

• persons who are controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies;

• persons who acquired their Shares upon the exercise of employee stock options, through a tax- qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

• persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

• the Rollover Stockholder; or

• persons who exercise appraisal rights.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Shares or Credible CDIs, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and on the activities of the partnership. Partnerships (or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holding Shares or Credible CDIs and their partners should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Further, this summary does not address the Medicare contribution tax applicable to net investment income of certain non-corporate holders, any U.S. federal non-income (such as estate and gift) or alternative minimum tax consequences or any state, local or foreign tax consequences relating to the Merger.

YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO YOU (INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND NON-INCOME TAX LAWS, ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS AND OTHER TAX LAWS).

As used in this summary, a “U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of Shares or Credible CDIs who is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as:

• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• a trust (i) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of source.

A “non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of Shares or Credible CDIs (other than an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) who is not a U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

11. Taxation Implications

U.S. Holders

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Merger by U.S. holders will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received by the U.S. holder in respect of their Shares or Credible CDIs exchanged in the Merger and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Shares or Credible CDIs, as applicable. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis generally will equal the price the U.S. holder paid for such Shares or Credible CDIs. Any gain or loss recognized by such U.S. holder generally will be capital gain or loss, which generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss for U.S. holders who have a holding period for their Shares or Credible CDIs exceeding one year at the time of the Merger. Capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. holders upon a disposition of any Shares or Credible CDIs that have been held for more than one year at the time of the Merger generally will be subject to tax at a reduced long-term capital gains rate. Otherwise (including in the case of any Shares or Credible CDIs that have been held for one year or less and corporate U.S. holders), capital gains will be subject to tax at ordinary U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, there are limits on the deductibility of capital losses. The amount and character of gain or loss must be determined separately for each block of Shares or Credible CDIs (i.e., acquired at the same time and at the same cost in a single transaction) converted into cash in the Merger.

Non-U.S. Holders

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on the receipt of cash in exchange for their Shares or Credible CDIs in the Merger. This general rule, however, is subject to some exceptions, including those below under “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “FATCA”. In addition, the gain would be subject to U.S. federal income tax if:

• the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. holder of a U.S. trade or business (and, if provided by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder); or

• the non-U.S. person is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the Merger, and certain other requirements are met.

Unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in substantially the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person, and non-U.S. holders that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes also may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax (or applicable lower treaty rate). Gains described in the second bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a flat 30% rate (or applicable lower treaty rate), but may be offset by certain U.S. source losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States. Non- U.S. holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger and as to the application of any income tax treaties.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting will generally apply, and backup withholding may apply, to a U.S. holder whose Shares or Credible CDIs are converted into cash in the Merger. Backup withholding will generally apply to a U.S. holder (other than certain exempt U.S. holders, including, among others, corporations) at the then applicable rate (under current law, the backup withholding rate is 24%) unless the U.S. holder:

• provides the holder’s taxpayer identification number, or TIN;

• certifies under penalties of perjury that such TIN is correct (or properly certifies that it is awaiting

For personal use only use personal For a TIN), that the U.S. holder is a U.S. person, and that the U.S. holder is not subject to backup withholding; and

• otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

108

11. Taxation Implications

A U.S. holder that does not furnish a required TIN or that does not otherwise establish a basis for an exemption from backup withholding will be subject to backup withholding. Each U.S. holder should complete and sign an IRS Form W-9 so as to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding.

Information reporting and backup withholding generally will apply to payments made to a non-U.S. holder in exchange for Shares or Credible CDIs in the Merger effected by or through the U.S. office of a broker unless the holder certifies its non-U.S. person status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to such payments to a non-U.S. holder effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a foreign broker. However, information reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) will apply to such payments to a non-U.S. holder effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a broker if the broker (i) is a United States person, (ii) derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (iii) is a "controlled foreign corporation" as defined in the Code, or (iv) is a foreign partnership that, at any time during its taxable year, is more than 50% (by income or capital interest) owned by United States persons or is engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, unless in any such case the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the non- U.S. holder is a non-U.S. person and certain conditions are met, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. A non-U.S. holder must generally submit an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other appropriate IRS Form W-8 or successor form) attesting to its exempt foreign status in order to qualify as an exempt recipient.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding can be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to backup withholding, provided that the required information is timely given to the IRS. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained by timely filing a U.S. federal income tax return.

FATCA

Subject to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations discussed below, under the U.S. tax rules known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), a holder of Shares or Credible CDIs will generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax on gross proceeds from its exchange of Shares or Credible CDIs for cash pursuant to the Merger if the holder is, or holds its Shares or Credible CDIs through, (i) a "foreign financial institution" that has not entered into and complied with an agreement with the U.S. government to report, on an annual basis, certain information regarding accounts with or interests in the institution held by certain United States persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by United States persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) a "non-financial foreign entity" that fails to provide certain documentation (usually an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) containing information about its identity, its FATCA status, and if required, containing certain information regarding certain of its direct and indirect U.S. owners or certifying that it does not have any such owners, unless an exemption otherwise applies. The adoption of, or implementation of, an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future U.S. Treasury regulations, may modify these requirements. Documentation that holders provide in order to be treated as FATCA compliant may be reported to the IRS and other tax authorities, including information about a holder's identity, its FATCA status, and if applicable, certain of its direct and indirect U.S. owners. Proposed U.S. Treasury regulations have been issued that, if finalised, would provide for the repeal of the 30% withholding tax that would have otherwise applied to gross proceeds from a holder’s exchange of Shares or Credible CDIs for cash pursuant to the Merger. In the preamble to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, the U.S. Treasury provided that taxpayers may rely upon this repeal until the issuance of final U.S. Treasury regulations. Stockholders or holders of Credible CDIs should consult their own tax advisors on how these rules may apply to payments made in exchange for their Shares or Credible CDIs pursuant to the Merger.

We understand that Credible Labs Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), among the Company, Fox Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), and Project Six Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (collectively, the “Transaction”) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Transaction as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Intermediate Purchaser (as defined below), and with (A) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (other than the Excluded Shares, the Dissenting Shares, the Restricted Shares and the Depositary Shares (each as defined in the Agreement)) (the “Shares”) being converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to AU$55.25, without interest (the “Common Stock Merger Consideration”) and (B) each CHESS Depositary Interest of the Company (each, a “Company CDI”) being converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to AU$2.21, without interest (the “CDI Merger Consideration,” and together with the Common Stock Merger Consideration, the “Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Transaction are fully set forth in the Agreement. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

We further understand that, in connection with the Agreement and the Transaction (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”):

You have asked us whether, in our opinion, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received in the Transaction by the holders of the Shares and the holders of the Company CDIs, other than the Rollover Stockholder and his Affiliates (such stockholders, other than the Rollover Stockholder and his Affiliates, the “Public Stockholders”), is fair to such holders from a financial point of view. In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have, among other things:

§ 262. Appraisal rights

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in § 363(b) of this title, no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h), as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(4) In the event of an amendment to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation contemplated by § 363(a) of this title, appraisal rights shall be available as contemplated by § 363(b) of this title, and the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as practicable, with the word “amendment” substituted for the words “merger or consolidation,” and the word “corporation” substituted for the words “constituent corporation” and/or “surviving or resulting corporation.”

For personal use only use personal For (c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

205

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date

of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as For personal use only use personal For a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement

206

setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement shall be given to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting For personal use only use personal For corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

207

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.
