ARRIS Receives Second Request for Information in Connection with the Previously Announced Acquisition of Pace

ARRIS Group, Inc.

today announced that ARRIS and Pace plc.

have each received Requests for Additional Information from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with ARRIS's proposed acquisition of Pace plc. This kind of request from the DOJ, often referred to as a "Second Request", is part of the regulatory process under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR Act). The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after each company has substantially complied with its Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the companies or terminated sooner by the DOJ. The companies intend to respond to the requests as quickly as practicable and to continue to work cooperatively with the DOJ in connection with its review. Completion of the transaction remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the satisfaction of similar requirements in certain foreign countries, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including approval by the shareholders of both ARRIS and Pace. ARRIS continues to anticipate that the transaction will close in late 2015.
