  • PROPOSED MERGER YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT to The
    PROPOSED MERGER YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT To the Stockholders of Standard Diversified Inc.: Standard Diversified Inc., which we refer to as SDI, and Turning Point Brands, Inc., which we refer to as TPB, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, which we refer to as the merger agreement, pursuant to which SDI will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPB, which we refer to as the merger. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, which we refer to as the effective time, each share of Class A and Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of SDI, which we refer to collectively as SDI Common Stock, will be converted into a portion of the Stock Merger Consideration (as defined below) equal to a fraction of a share of TPB Voting Common Stock, $0.01 par value, which we refer to as TPB Common Stock, equal to (i) the total number of shares of TPB Common Stock constituting the Stock Merger Consideration, divided by (ii) the total number of SDI Common Stock outstanding at such date, plus the number of shares of SDI Common Stock underlying all restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards that will vest in accordance with the merger, but only to the extent such shares were not outstanding prior to such vesting. Each SDI stockholder’s aggregate portion of merger consideration will be rounded up to the next whole share of TPB Common Stock. The ‘‘Stock Merger Consideration’’ means a total number of shares of TPB Common Stock equal to 97% of the total number of shares of TPB Common Stock owned by SDI as of the effective time of the merger.
