All parties desiring details regarding the transaction are urged to review the definitive Merger Agreement when available on the Company’s website at http://.smartm.com, and the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. In connection with the proposed transaction, SMART has filed with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement and other documents relating to the transaction and will file with the SEC a definitive proxy statement, and may file with the SEC other documents regarding the proposed transaction. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER FILED DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Shareholders will be able to obtain a free-of-charge copy of the proxy statement and other relevant documents (when available) filed with the SEC from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
