As previously announced, on September 22, 2017, Versar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Kingswood Genesis Fund I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and KW Genesis Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 27, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $0.15 per Share.
 
 On October 2, 2017, in connection with the Offer, each of the Company’s directors and certain executive officers (each, a “Stockholder” and, collectively, the “Stockholders”) entered into a Tender and Support Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2017 with Parent and Merger Sub (each, a “Tender and Support Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender and Support Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to tender his or her Shares into the Offer and, subject to certain exceptions, not transfer his or her Shares that are subject to the Tender and Support Agreement. The Tender and Support Agreements will terminate with respect to each Stockholder upon the first to occur of (i) the date on which the parties mutually agree in writing to terminate the Tender and Support Agreement, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) the date of any modification, waiver or amendment of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount or changes the form of consideration payable thereunder to such Stockholder, (iv) the acceptance for payment by Merger Sub (or other affiliate of Parent) of the Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn and (v) the Effective Time.

Additional Information and Where to Find It
 
The tender offer described in this communication (the “Offer”) has not yet commenced, and this communication is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of the capital stock of Versar or any other securities. On the commencement date of the Offer, a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and related documents, will be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The offer to purchase shares of Versar stock will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related documents filed with such Schedule TO. The tender offer statement will be filed with the SEC by an affiliate of Kingswood and Versar is obligated to file a solicitation/recommendation statement with the SEC. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT, AS THEY MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES TO THE TRANSACTION. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of these statements (when available) and other documents filed with the SEC at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by directing such requests to the information agent for the tender offer, which will be named in the tender offer statement.
 
 
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This document and the exhibits filed herewith contain forward-looking statements with respect to the Company, Kingswood and the Transactions, including the benefits expected from the Transactions and the expected timing of their completion.  Actual results may differ materially from these expectations. When used in this document, the words “can,” “will,” “intends,” “expects,” “is expected,” similar expressions and any other statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements.  Such statements are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and are subject to a number of risk factors, including uncertainties regarding the timing of the closing of the Transactions, uncertainties as to how many stockholders of the Company may tender their stock in the Offer, the possibility that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the Transactions, and general economic and business conditions.  Factors that could cause actual results of the Transactions to differ materially include the following: the risk of failing to satisfy conditions to the Transactions, the risk that Kingswood is unable to obtain adequate financing, the risk that the Transactions will not close or that closing will be delayed, the risk that the Company’s businesses will suffer due to uncertainty related to the Transactions, the competitive environment in our industry and competitive responses to the Transactions as well as risk factors set forth above.  Further information on factors that could affect the Company’s financial results is provided in documents filed by the Company with the SEC, including the Company’s recent filings on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.
 
Accordingly, no assurances can be given as to whether the Transactions will be completed or if any of the other events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or what impact they will have. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement and neither the Company nor Kingswood assumes any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
