Amendments to the Offer to Purchase
Items 1 through 11.
The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under The Tender OfferSection 15Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals and Items 1 through 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 by replacing in its entirety the paragraph entitled Legal Proceedings Relating to the Tender Offer which begins on page 50 of the Offer to Purchase with the following:
Legal Proceedings Relating to the Tender Offer.
On September 25, 2018, a putative stockholder of Reis filed a putative class action lawsuit against Reis, its directors, Parent and Purchaser (the Defendants) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Scarantino v. Reis Inc., et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-08780 (the Action). The Action alleges that the Defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 insofar as the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on September 13, 2018 allegedly omits material information that purportedly renders the filing false and misleading. The Action seeks as relief, among other things, injunctive relief, rescissory damages, declaratory judgment, and an award of plaintiffs fees and expenses. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, Parent and Purchaser will not necessarily announce such additional filings.
On October 8, 2018, Richard Scarantino (Plaintiff) filed a stipulation of dismissal for the Action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court). It is expected that Plaintiffs individual claims will be dismissed with prejudice and his claims asserted on behalf of a purported class of Reis stockholders will be dismissed without prejudice. The stipulation notes that Plaintiffs counsel intends to assert a claim for mootness fees and expenses in connection with the Action and to seek court intervention if the parties cannot resolve such claim, and Defendants have reserved all rights in response. Notwithstanding the provision by Reis of the additional disclosure in its Amendment No. 3 to the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, nothing in this amendment shall be deemed an admission by the Defendants of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein, and the Defendants specifically deny all allegations in the Action that any additional disclosure was or is required.
SIGNATURE
After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
