were effected. Pursuant to the scheme of arrangement, among other things, each common share of
Vistaprint Limited outstanding immediately before the transaction was effected was exchanged for one
outstanding ordinary share of Vistaprint N.V.
As a result of the scheme of arrangement and the share exchange transaction, the common
shareholders of Vistaprint Limited became ordinary shareholders of Vistaprint N.V. and Vistaprint
Limited became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vistaprint N.V. In connection with consummation of the
scheme of arrangement, Vistaprint N.V. assumed Vistaprint Limited’s existing obligations in connection
with awards granted under Vistaprint Limited’s incentive plans and other similar employee awards.
Vistaprint N.V.’s ordinary shares are registered under the Securities Exchange Act and Vistaprint
N.V. is subject to the same reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act to which
Vistaprint Limited was previously subject. Vistaprint N.V.’s ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “VPRT”, the same exchange and the same symbol under
which the Vistaprint Limited common shares are currently listed.
We refer to the foregoing transactions together with the steps of the scheme of arrangement as
the “Change of Domicile.”
