The Salary.com board of directors, among other things, has unanimously (1) determined and declared that the Agreement, the Offer and the merger are advisable and in the best interests of Salary.com and its stockholders, (2) approved the Agreement and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the consummation of the Offer, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and (3) recommended that the stockholders accept the Offer, tender their shares into the Offer, and, if required by applicable law, adopt and approve the Agreement and approve the merger.

There is no financing condition to the Offer. The Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Agreement, including there being validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer, immediately prior to the expiration date of the Offer and not withdrawn, a number of shares of common stock that represents a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of Salary.com common stock on a fully-diluted basis (assuming conversion or exercise of all derivative securities or other conditions of such derivative securities), regulatory approvals and other customary conditions set forth in the Agreement.
