ValueAct also agreed not to enter into any voting agreement or voting trust or grant a proxy which is inconsistent with its obligations to vote in favor of the Transactions. (Continued in Footnote 2)
( 2)  On June 29, 2015, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") was entered into by and among Towers Watson, the Issuer and Citadel Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Towers Watson (the "Merger"), with Towers Watson surviving the Merger as a subsidiary of the Issuer.
