Consistent with its history involving other public companies, the Board believes BML is targeting Astrotech for liquidation because the market value of Astrotech’s common stock is less than the book value of its cash and short-term investments. If BML were to acquire the Company at $17.25 per share (excluding shares directly held by BML), BML would expend an aggregate $25 million for the remaining 87% of Company shares that it does not own, and BML would then own 100% of a Company with a value of $26.17 per share, based solely on the book value of the cash and short-term investments as of March 31, 2023. If BML were then to liquidate the Company shortly thereafter, BML would realize a gain on all of its shares that would represent a significant premium over what all other stockholders would receive based on the Proposal, to the sole benefit of BML.
