The offer represents less than 0.01% of Microsoft\u2019s outstanding common stock.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is not affiliated with TRC and does not endorse the offer documentation or the offer itself. Microsoft expresses no opinion and is neutral on TRC\u2019s offer and encourages shareholders to obtain current market quotations for their shares of Microsoft common stock consult with their brokers or financial advisors, to review the terms and conditions of the offer, to consider any changes TRC may make to the terms (including pricing) and conditions, and to exercise caution with respect to TRC\u2019s offer. TRC\u2019s offer is currently scheduled to expire one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 24, 2025. TRC may extend the offer, or subject to the conditions of the offer, terminate it, before the expiration date.<\/p>\n<p>TRC has made many similar mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. A mini-tender offer is an offer for less than 5% of a company\u2019s shares. It is not subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for larger tender offers. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protections as provided for larger tender offers under U.S. securities laws. The&nbsp;SEC&nbsp;has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, providing guidance to investors at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/about\/reports-publications\/investorpubsminitend.\">https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/about\/reports-publications\/investorpubsminitend.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC\u2019s mini-tender offer.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft (Nasdaq \u201cMSFT\u201d @microsoft) creates platforms and tools powered by AI to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
