amount, if any, by which the settlement amount with respect to the IRS Matter (including any penalties and accrued interest with respect thereto) is less than $160 million. CorePoint
received a settlement offer from the IRS with respect to the IRS Matter on November 5, 2021. On the basis of such offer, CorePoint entered into a settlement agreement on Form 870-AD with the IRS on November 29, 2021 (the November 29
Closing Agreement), which provides for total payments by CorePoint of approximately $89.6 million plus statutory interest through the date of payment to the IRS. Pursuant to the November 29 Closing Agreement, the total
payment amount for the settlement of the IRS Matter is dependent on the calculation of interest by the IRS, which includes a determination by the IRS of the applicable statutory interest rates and applicable time periods, and the date on which the
settlement payment (including interest as calculated by the IRS) is made to the IRS. As a result, CorePoint cannot determine the total payment amount with specificity as of the date of this proxy statement. However, pursuant to the
November 29 Closing Agreement, based on the foregoing and assuming that CorePoint makes the settlement payment to the IRS on or about the date of the effective time of the merger, CorePoint currently estimates that the amount of any such
additional consideration will likely be between approximately $0.10 per share and approximately $0.35 per share, although there can be no assurance that any such additional consideration will fall within that range. Following receipt by CorePoint of
the determination by the IRS of the applicable statutory interest rate and calculation by the IRS of the interest payable, CorePoint expects to inform the holders of CorePoint common stock of the expected amount of any additional consideration as
determined based on such calculation by the IRS. In connection with the closing, CorePoint expects to inform the holders of CorePoint of the definitive amount of any such additional consideration. There can be no assurances that any additional
consideration will be received by the holders of CorePoint common stock. CorePoints entry into any IRS settlement is not a condition to the closing of the merger. Following the date of the proxy statement, CorePoint has received
information from the IRS reflecting the IRS calculation of the applicable statutory interest rates, pursuant to which such additional consideration will be approximately $0.34 per share, with the exact amount depending on the date of the
closing and the fully diluted number of shares of CorePoint common stock outstanding at the time of the closing. Based on this information, CorePoint and Cavalier have determined that, assuming that the closing of the merger occurs on March 3,
2022, the amount of such additional consideration will be $0.34 per share and the total merger consideration to be paid upon completion of the merger will be $15.99 per share.
