CALCULATION OF FILING FEE
Transaction Valuation* | Amount of Filing Fee** | |
$103,239,713.14 | $12,853.34 |
* | Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated by adding the sum of (i) 32,234,448 outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Mattersight Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Mattersight” or the “Company”), which number includes all Common Shares subject to restricted stock awards of the Company that have vested or are expected to vest, but excludes treasury shares, multiplied by the offer price of $2.70 per Common Share, (ii) 1,637,786 outstanding shares of 7% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”, and together with the Common Shares, the “Mattersight Shares”), of Mattersight, multiplied by the offer price of $7.80 per Preferred Share plus $3,422,972.74, representing the estimated accrued but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares, and (iii) 60,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Mattersight stock options with an exercise price less than the offer price of $2.70 per Common Share, multiplied by $0.15, which is the offer price of $2.70 per Common Share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $2.55 per Common Share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Mattersight as of May 7, 2018. |
** | The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2018, issued August 24, 2017, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.00012450. |

This Amendment No. 8 (this “ Amendment ”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by NICE Ltd. (“ NICE ”), a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, NICE Systems, Inc. (“ Parent ”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of NICE, and NICE Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“ Purchaser ”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2018 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “ Schedule TO ”). The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Purchaser for (i) all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“ Common Shares ”), of Mattersight Corporation (“ Mattersight ” or the “ Company ”), a Delaware corporation, at a price of $2.70 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, and less any applicable withholding taxes, and (ii) all of the outstanding shares of 7% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (together with the Common Shares, the “ Mattersight Shares ”) of Mattersight, at a price of $7.80 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends payable thereon, if any, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated May 10, 2018 (the “ Offer to Purchase ”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “ Offer .”
All the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including Schedule I thereto, is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Amendment.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO.
Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.
The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below:
“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled one minute after 11:59 P.M., New York time, on August 17, 2018. The Offer was not extended. The Depositary has advised NICE, Parent, and Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Date, (a) 29,660,507 Common Shares had been validly tendered in the Offer, and not validly withdrawn, and (b) 1,577,832 Preferred Shares had been validly tendered in the Offer, and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 89.4% of Mattersight Shares outstanding on an as-converted to Common Shares basis. In addition, 545,712 Common Shares and no Preferred Shares subject to notices of guaranteed delivery for which such shares underlying the notices of guaranteed delivery have not been delivered to the Depositary have been delivered, representing approximately 1.6% of Mattersight Shares outstanding on an as-converted to Common Shares basis. The number of Mattersight Shares tendered (excluding Mattersight Shares delivered pursuant to Notices of Guaranteed Delivery) satisfies the Minimum Condition. As the Minimum Condition and each of the other Offer Conditions have been satisfied, Purchaser has accepted for payment all Mattersight Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.
As a result of Purchaser’s acceptance of the Mattersight Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser acquired a sufficient number of Mattersight Shares to consummate, and on August 20, 2018, did consummate, the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, Purchaser was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and each Mattersight Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (A) Common Shares and Preferred Shares (i) owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Purchaser or Mattersight, or by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Purchaser or Mattersight, or (ii) held by Mattersight in Mattersight’s treasury, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) any Common Shares and Preferred Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by stockholders who neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who properly and validly perfected their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Common Shares and Preferred Shares, in each case, in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive, subject to any required tax withholdings, the Merger Consideration.
As a result of the Merger, the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company and the Common Shares will be delisted from the Nasdaq. Parent intends to promptly take all steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Common Shares and to suspend all of the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
On August 20, 2018, NICE issued a press release
announcing the expiration of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger. The press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(M) hereto,
and is incorporated by reference herein.”

Tender Offer Results
The acquisition of Mattersight was completed following the expiration, August 17, 2018, of the tender offer by a subsidiary of NICE Ltd. for all of the outstanding shares of Mattersight’s common stock and preferred stock. Excluding Mattersight shares tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery, more than 50% of Mattersight’s outstanding shares, voting together as a single-class on an as-if converted to common stock basis, were validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the tender offer pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation law, according to the depositary for the tender offer.
Following its acceptance of the shares tendered in the tender offer, pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, NICE merged its subsidiary with and into Mattersight. In connection with the merger, all Mattersight shares of common stock and preferred stock not validly tendered into the tender offer have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in the case of Mattersight’s common stock, $2.70 per share in cash and, in the case of Mattersight’s preferred stock, $7.80 per share in cash plus accrued and unpaid dividends as of immediately prior to the closing, which are the same prices per share offered in the tender offer. As a result of the acquisition, Mattersight shares of common stock will cease to be traded on Nasdaq.
