On September 4, 2024, in connection with a registered secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”) of Common Stock of the Issuer, Vertex Holdco entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Issuer, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Vertex Holdco agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase from Vertex Holdco, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $45.48 per share. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, th e Underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock on the same terms. The sale of the 2,000,000 shares in the Secondary Offering closed on September 6, 2024.

In connection with the Secondary Offering, Vertex Holdco entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”) with the Underwriters. Under the Lock-up Agreement, Vertex Holdco agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock for 45 days after September 4, 2024.

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and Lock-up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which includes the form of Lock-up Agreement as an exhibit, and which is filed as Exhibit 99.7 hereto.
