share, of NCI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (NCI), at a price of $20.00 per share net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, if any, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to

set forth in the Offer to Purchase is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of this Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided for in this Schedule TO.
Item 11.
Additional Information
.
Item 11 of the Schedule TO, and the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, are hereby amended and supplemented by
adding the following paragraphs as the last two paragraphs of the subsection captioned General in Section 16 Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals. in the Offer to Purchase:
On July 21, 2017, a purported stockholder of NCI filed a Complaint for Violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, docketed as
Colleen Witmer v. NCI, Inc., Charles K. Narang, Paul A. Dillahay, James P. Allen, Paul V. Lombardi, Cindy E. Moran, Austin J. Yerks, Daniel R. Young, H.I.G.
Capital, L.L.C., Cloud Intermediate Holdings, LLC, and Cloud Merger Sub, Inc.
, Case No.
1:17-CV-00838-LO-JFA
(the Witmer Action) against NCI and each of its
directors, and Purchaser, Parent and H.I.G. Capital, LLC. The Witmer Action purports to be brought individually and on behalf of a purported class of all public stockholders of NCI. The Witmer Action alleges that NCI, the members of the NCI Board
and Purchaser, Parent and H.I.G. Capital, L.L.C. violated Section 14 of the Exchange Act by issuing a Schedule
14D-9
that was materially misleading and omitted material facts related to the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Witmer Action also alleges that the members of the NCI Board and Purchaser, Parent and H.I.G. Capital, L.L.C. violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as controlling persons who had the ability to
prevent the Schedule
14D-9
from being materially false and misleading. The Witmer Action seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement and an award of costs for the actions, including reasonable attorneys and experts fees. The defendants believe that the allegations in the Witmer Action lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. The
foregoing summary of the Witmer Action does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complaint for the Witmer Action, which is filed as an Exhibit to the Schedule TO.
On July 25, 2017, a purported stockholder of NCI filed a Class Action Complaint for Violations of Sections 14(d), 14(e),

James P. Allen, Cindy E. Moran and Austin J. Yerks
, Case No.
1:17-CV-00839-LO-MSN
(the Nichols Action) against NCI and each of its directors. The Nichols Action purports to be brought individually and on behalf of a purported class of all public stockholders of NCI. The Nichols Action alleges that NCI and the members
of the NCI Board violated Section 14 of the Exchange Act by issuing a Schedule
14D-9
that was materially misleading and omitted material facts related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement. The Nichols Action also alleges that the members of the NCI Board violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as controlling persons who had the ability to prevent the Schedule
