On August 15, 2016, Xylem Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Xylem Luxembourg S.à r.L., a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Xylem Lux” and, together with the Company, “Xylem”), Sensus Worldwide Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (“Sensus Worldwide”), Sensus Industries Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensus Worldwide (“Sensus Industries”), and Sensus USA Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensus Worldwide (“Sensus USA” and, together with Sensus Worldwide and Sensus Industries, “Sensus”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Xylem will acquire all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Sensus Worldwide (other than Sensus Industries) for aggregate consideration of $1,700,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Xylem and Sensus. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary conditions, including without limitation (i) the expiration or termination of any waiting period applicable to the consummation of the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (ii) the receipt of regulatory approvals under certain non-U.S. antitrust laws; (iii) approval from the Federal Communications Commission; (iv) the absence of any law or injunction adopted, promulgated or entered by any governmental authority preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; (v) the accuracy of the parties’ representations and warranties (subject to customary materiality qualifiers); and (vi) the compliance by the parties with their respective covenants, obligations and agreements under the Purchase Agreement (subject to customary materiality qualifiers).

The Purchase Agreement provides that Xylem and/or Sensus may terminate the Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, including (i) by mutual written consent of the parties; (ii) by either party if the transaction is not consummated on or before February 15, 2017, subject to extension by three months if the parties have not received applicable regulatory approvals by such date; (iii) by either party if any governmental authority has issued a non-appealable final order, decree, ruling or other action preventing the transaction; or (iv) by either party for certain breaches of the Purchase Agreement that are not cured, except that no termination right will be available to a party that is in material breach of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, or whose failure to fulfill its obligations or to comply with its covenants under the Purchase Agreement has been the cause of, resulted in or contributed to, the failure to satisfy any condition to the obligations of either party under the Purchase Agreement.

Xylem expects to finance the consideration for the transaction with a combination of cash on hand, new and existing credit facilities and the issuance of new debt, including up to $1.3 billion in senior unsecured notes. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition.

On August 15, 2016, Xylem entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (collectively, the “Arrangers”) pursuant to which the Arrangers have committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, a

364-day $1.3 billion senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility,” and the provision of such funds as set forth in the Commitment Letter, the “Bridge Financing”). The Bridge Facility is available to finance the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and to pay fees and expenses related thereto to the extent that Xylem does not finance such consideration and fees and expenses through available cash on hand and the issuance of new debt as described above. The Arrangers’ commitments to provide the Bridge Financing are subject to certain customary closing conditions. The Bridge Facility will contain certain representations and warranties, certain affirmative covenants, certain negative covenants, certain financial covenants, and certain conditions and events of default that are customarily required for similar financings.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference into this report.

The Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms.

Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Xylem Lux, Sensus Worldwide, Sensus Industries, Sensus USA or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Additionally, the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and other terms of the Purchase Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification.

(iv) increased by the amount (if any) by which Estimated Indebtedness exceeds the Final Indebtedness, or decreased by the amount (if any) by which Final Indebtedness exceeds Estimated Indebtedness.

The Initial Purchase Price, as so increased or decreased in accordance with this Section 2.4(b), shall be the “Final Purchase Price” hereunder.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyers shall (i) prepare a statement of the calculation of Cash, Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses and Working Capital, in each case as of the Determination Time, together with a calculation of the Final Purchase Price (the “Closing Date Statement”), and (ii) deliver the Closing Date Statement to Sensus Worldwide. The Closing Date Statement shall be prepared in good faith on a basis consistent with the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement.

(d) In connection with the preparation and review of the Pre-Closing Statement and the Closing Date Statement, Buyers and Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies (in the case of Sellers, prior to the Closing and, in the case of Buyers, during the period from and after the date of delivery of the Closing Date Statement through the resolution of any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.4) to, provide the other Party and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records, personnel, facilities and representatives of the Companies. Furthermore, each Party shall have the right to review the work papers of the other Party in connection with preparing and reviewing the Pre-Closing Statement, the Closing Date Statement and the calculation of the Final Purchase Price; provided, that the independent accountants of the Parties, if any, shall not be obligated to make any such work papers available unless and until the non-client Party has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to such work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants.

(e) Within forty-five (45) calendar days after its receipt of the Closing Date Statement, Sensus Worldwide shall inform Buyers in writing either (i) that the Closing Date Statement is acceptable or (ii) of any good faith objection to the Closing Date Statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such objection and the specific adjustment to amounts, determinations and calculations set forth on the Closing Date Statement that Sellers believe

should be made (an “Objection Notice”). Any Objection Notice may reference disagreements in the calculations of Cash, Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses and Working Capital as reflected on the Closing Date Statement not being calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any amount, determination or calculation (or any component thereof) contained in the Closing Date Statement and not specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If Sensus Worldwide does not timely deliver an Objection Notice with respect to the Closing Date Statement within such forty-five (45) calendar day period, the Closing Date Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If an Objection Notice is timely delivered within such forty-five (45) calendar day period, Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each dispute raised therein (each, a “Disputed Item”) and any resolution by them as to any such Disputed Item shall be final, conclusive and binding. If Buyers and Sellers, notwithstanding such good faith efforts, fail to resolve any Disputed Item within thirty (30) calendar days after Sensus Worldwide timely delivers an Objection Notice or such longer period as the Parties mutually agree in writing, then Buyers and Sellers shall jointly engage KPMG LLP or another mutually agreeable independent firm capable of serving as an accounting expert with relevant experience in resolving such disputes, which firm is not the regular auditing firm of Buyers or Sellers (the “Referral Firm”), to resolve only any remaining Disputed Items as soon as practicable thereafter (but in any event, within thirty (30) calendar days after engagement of the Referral Firm). All Disputed Items that are resolved between the Parties or are determined by the Referral Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error. Upon the agreement of the Parties with respect to all Disputed Items, the decision of the Referral Firm with respect to all Disputed Items or Sellers’ failure to deliver an Objection Notice to Buyers within the 30-day period referred to above, the Closing Date Statement, as it may be adjusted (the “Final Closing Date Statement”), shall be final, conclusive and binding against the Parties hereto. The statements of Cash, Working Capital, Seller Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness set forth in the Final Closing Date Statement shall be the “Final Cash”, “Final Working Capital”, “Final Seller Transaction Expenses” and “Final Indebtedness”, respectively, for all purposes hereunder.

(f) In resolving any Disputed Item, the Referral Firm (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.4, (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for such item or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Buyers or Sellers, (iii) shall limit its decision to each Disputed Item and (iv) shall make its determination based solely on presentations by Buyers and Sellers which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e. not on the basis of independent review). For purposes of complying with this Section 2.4, Buyers and Sellers shall furnish to each other and to the Referral Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Items as the Referral Firm may require and that are available to the Party (or its independent public accountants) from whom such documents or information are requested. The fees and expenses of the Referral Firm shall be allocated between Buyers and Sellers in such a way that (A) Buyers shall be responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of the Disputed Items submitted to the Referral Firm that are resolved against Buyers (as finally determined by the Referral Firm) and the denominator of which is the total dollar value of the Disputed Items so submitted and (B) Sellers shall be responsible for the remaining amount of fees and expenses, which such amount shall first be paid out of the Adjustment Escrow Account. In the event of any dispute regarding such allocation, the Referral Firm shall determine the

allocation of its fees and expenses as between Buyers and Sellers in accordance with such allocation methodology, such determination to be final and binding on each Buyer and each Seller. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.4(f), the fees and expenses of Sellers and their representatives incurred in connection with the Closing Date Statement and any Disputed Items shall be borne by Sellers, and the fees and expenses of Buyers and their representatives incurred in connection with the Closing Date Statement and any Disputed Items shall be borne by Buyers.

(g) Promptly after their receipt of the Final Closing Date Statement, Sellers and Buyers shall compute the difference, if any, between the Initial Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price. If the Initial Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, then Buyers and Sellers shall deliver written instructions to the Escrow Agent to deliver such amount, to Buyers within three (3) Business Days. BUYERS AGREE THAT THEIR SOLE SOURCE OF RECOVERY UNDER THIS SECTION 2.4(g) SHALL BE LIMITED TO, AND SHALL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE, THE ADJUSTMENT ESCROW AMOUNT. If the Initial Purchase Price is less than the Final Purchase Price, Sellers shall be entitled to receive, promptly and in any event within three (3) Business Days from the date of such final determination, from Buyers an amount in cash equal to such deficiency. Concurrently with payment of the amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, Buyers and Sellers shall promptly deliver written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account (including any interest and other amounts accrued) established under the Adjustment Escrow Agreement, if any, to Sellers in accordance with the terms of the Adjustment Escrow Agreement. Buyers hereby covenant and agree that they and the Companies shall have sufficient immediately available funds after the Closing to make any payments to Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.4.

2.5 Purchase Price Allocation. Sellers and Buyers agree that the fair market values of Sensus USA and the other Companies are as set forth on Exhibit B hereto (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall be revised for any adjustments to the Initial Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4, with any adjustment that is specifically attributable to Sensus USA and its US subsidiaries allocated to Sensus USA, any adjustment that is specifically attributable to the other Companies and their subsidiaries allocated to such other Companies, and any adjustment that is not specifically attributable to Sensus USA and its US subsidiaries, on the one hand, or the other Companies and their subsidiaries, on the other hand, allocated pro rata between Sensus USA and the other Companies in accordance with the allocation on Exhibit B. Buyers shall send the revised Allocation to Sellers within thirty (30) calendar days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4. Sellers and Buyers shall prepare and file their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation. Except as required by Applicable Law, Sellers and Buyers agree that they will not take, or cause or permit to be taken, any position on any Tax Return that would be inconsistent with, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the Allocation without the prior written consent of the other Party.

2.6 Withholding. Buyers shall not deduct or withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement unless such deduction or withholding of Taxes is required under Applicable Law, including any payments made through the Companies’ payroll system. In any case where Buyers determine in good faith that deduction or withholding is required (other than for payments made through the Companies’ payroll system), Buyers shall

use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Sellers at least ten (10) Business Days prior to deducting or withholding any amount pursuant to this Section 2.6, and the parties shall cooperate to reduce or avoid such deduction or withholding where possible. In the event any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payments, Buyers shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall remit the amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted with the appropriate Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Sellers hereby represent and warrant to Buyers that, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule:

(a) Each Seller is duly organized or incorporated (as the case may be), validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is recognized) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties as they are now being owned, leased and operated and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where failure to have such power and authority would not be material to the Companies and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Except as set forth in Section 3.1(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Companies nor any of the Subsidiaries owns any equity interest, partnership, membership or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into, exercisable for the purchase of or exchangeable for any such equity, partnership, membership or similar interest, or is under any current or prospective obligation to form or participate in, provide funds to, make any loan, capital contribution or other investment in or assume any liability or obligation of, any Person other than the Subsidiaries.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any action or proceeding is threatened or instituted by any Governmental Authority or any other Person challenging the validity or legality of or seeking to restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Buyer and each Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid, resist, resolve or, if necessary, defend such action or proceeding. Each Buyer and each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently assist and cooperate in preparing and filing any and all written communications that are required to be submitted to any Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in obtaining any approvals and authorizations which are required to be obtained for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, which assistance and cooperation shall include using commercially reasonable efforts to: (A) timely furnish all information reasonably determined to be required to be included in such documents; (B) promptly provide copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Authority relating to any Antitrust Law; provided, that such copies may be redacted as necessary to address legal privilege or confidentiality concerns or to comply with Applicable Law; provided further, that portions of such copies that are competitively sensitive may be designated as “outside antitrust counsel only”; (C) keep the other Parties reasonably informed of any communication received or given in connection with any action or proceeding, in each case regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (D) permit the other Party to review any communication given to any Governmental Authority or in connection with any proceeding related to the HSR Act or any Antitrust Law, in each case regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Buyers, on one hand, nor Sellers, on the other hand, shall initiate or participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority with respect to any filings, applications, investigation, or other inquiry regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any filings under the HSR Act or any Antitrust Law, without providing the other Party with reasonable prior notice of such meeting or discussion and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion. Buyers shall be responsible for all filing fees under the HSR Act and Foreign Competition Laws.

(d) Prior to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, Buyers shall not, and shall not permit any of their subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, any Person if entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger, consolidation or other transaction would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent or impose any delay in obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, including under the HSR Act or applicable Antitrust Law, (ii) cause any Governmental Authority to enter an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (iii) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) As promptly as practicable or within seven (7) Business Days of the date hereof, or such other date as agreed to by the Parties, the Parties agree to prepare and file with the FCC such applications and filings as are necessary or appropriate to effect the transfer of the FCC Authorizations listed in Section 3.14(f)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule to Buyers and to provide such information as is required or reasonably requested by the FCC in connection with the pending renewal applications of the FCC Authorizations. Buyers will prepare and file with the FCC all forms and related exhibits, certifications and other documents necessary to satisfy the FCC’s requirements for “transfer of control” transactions. Each Party covenants and agrees that it will fully cooperate with the other, and do all things reasonably necessary to promptly submit, or cause to be submitted, the FCC Transfer of Control Application to the FCC and will promptly file or provide the other Party with all other information and documentary material which is required to be provided to or reasonably requested by the FCC in connection with the applications and filings contemplated by this Section 5.6(a), including any responses to FCC inquiries. Both Parties shall prosecute the filing of the transfer documents relating to the FCC Authorizations with all reasonable diligence in order to obtain the requisite approvals and shall take all such actions and give all such notices as may be required or requested by the FCC or as may be appropriate in an effort to expedite the grant of such approvals by the FCC. Each Party agrees promptly to evaluate any conditions and negotiate resolutions with the FCC as may be appropriate to expedite the grant of such consent by the FCC.

(b) From the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or the date this Agreement is terminated, Sellers shall, and Sellers shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) cure any violations and defaults by any of them under any applicable rules and regulations of the FCC (“FCC Rules”), (ii) substantially comply with the terms of the FCC Authorizations and FCC Rules and (iii) file or cause to be filed with the FCC all reports and other filings required to be filed under applicable FCC Rules.

(c) From the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or the date this Agreement is terminated, Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to (i) take such actions as are necessary to maintain and preserve the FCC Authorizations and (ii) refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the FCC or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Sellers, the Companies, or any of the Subsidiaries to institute proceedings for the suspension, revocation, or adverse modification of any FCC Authorizations.

(d) As soon as practicable, Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to, take such steps as are necessary to renew any expiring FCC Authorizations, including preparing and filing with the appropriate Governmental Authorities all necessary applications in connection therewith promptly after the commencement of the period during which such applications may be made.

(e) Subject to any restrictions imposed by Applicable Law, Sellers shall (i) keep Buyers reasonably informed of any communication received from, or given by Sellers to, the FCC in connection with the Companies’ and the Subsidiaries’ FCC Authorizations and any renewals thereof, and (ii) permit Buyers to review any communication given by it to, and consult with Buyers in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FCC or any other Governmental Authority regarding the Companies’ and the Subsidiaries’ FCC Authorizations and any renewals thereof and give Buyers the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.

(f) The Parties agree that, solely with respect to the FCC Authorizations set forth in Section 3.14(f)(v) of the Disclosure Schedule, Sellers may satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6.5 and 7.5 by causing Sensus Spectrum LLC to enter into Contracts to purchase additional FCC Authorizations for MAS or NPCS spectrum of equivalent or more capacity in order to replace any FCC Authorizations not approved for transfer by the FCC under Section 310(d) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §310(d); provided, however, that, if any such Contracts to purchase such spectrum are not consummated prior to the Closing, the purchase price thereunder shall be treated as a “current liability” for purposes of calculating Working Capital; provided, further that such replacement spectrum acquired prior to Closing shall be approved for transfer by the FCC under Section 310(d) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §310(d). In addition, any “partition” of any FCC Authorization set forth in Section 3.14(f)(v) of the Disclosure Schedule which has the effect of allowing the Companies and the Subsidiaries to continue their existing activity in the applicable market covered by such FCC Authorization shall satisfy the requirement to transfer the applicable FCC Authorization in accordance with the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6.5 and 7.5.

5.7 Maintenance of Insurance. Sellers will cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to continue to carry their existing insurance through the Closing Date, and shall not allow any breach, default or cancellation (other than expiration and replacement of policies in the ordinary cause of business) of such insurance policies or agreements to occur or exist that would be material to any of the Companies or any Subsidiary taken as a whole.

5.8 Supplemental Information. From time to time prior to the Closing, Sellers will promptly disclose in writing to Buyers any matter hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement would have been required to be disclosed to Buyers or which would render inaccurate any of the representations, warranties or statements set forth in ARTICLE III hereof in any material respect; provided that no such disclosure shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules or affect in any way Buyers’ rights hereunder.

(a) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or such longer period required by Applicable Law, the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall preserve and retain, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records of the Companies and the Subsidiaries (including any documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations) relating to the conduct of the business and operations of the Companies and the Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Buyers, the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, afford promptly to Sellers and their employees and representatives upon reasonable advance notice reasonable access during normal business hours to such books and records of the Companies and the Subsidiaries to the extent reasonably requested by Sellers; provided, however, that (i) such access does not materially interfere with the conduct of the business of the Companies and the Subsidiaries, and (ii) such access does not include access to materials that are subject to the attorney-client, work-product or other privilege or access to any working papers of any independent accountant unless customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreements have been first executed.

(c) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or such longer period required by Applicable Law, Sellers shall preserve and retain, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records of the Companies and the Subsidiaries (including any documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations) relating to the conduct of the business and operations of the Companies and the Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date that shall not otherwise have been delivered to Buyers, the Companies or a Subsidiary. Sellers shall, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, afford promptly to Buyers and their employees and representatives upon reasonable advance notice reasonable access during normal business hours to such books and records to the extent reasonably requested by Buyers; provided, however, that (i) such access does not materially interfere with the conduct of the business of Sellers, and (ii) such access does not include access to materials that are subject to the attorney-client, work-product or other privilege or access to any working papers of any independent accountant unless customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreements have been first executed.

(b) On and after the Closing, Buyers, the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall honor and be responsible for any and all notices, liabilities, costs, payments and expenses arising from any action by Buyers, the Companies or any of the Subsidiaries (including breach of contract, defamation or retaliatory discharge) regarding any Continuing Employee, including any such liability (i) under any Applicable Law that relates to employees, employee benefit matters or labor matters, (ii) for dismissal, wrongful termination or constructive dismissal or termination, or severance pay or other termination pay, or (iii) under or with respect to any benefit plan, program, contract, policy, commitment, or arrangement of the Companies and the Subsidiaries, including with respect to severance or retention plans (including making payments under the Change in Control Plan to the extent such amounts constituted a Seller Transaction Expense hereunder), or to the extent such severance or retention plans provide payments or benefits with respect to any Continuing Employee.

(c) If, on and after the Closing, any event occurs which results in the forfeiture of any amount due and payable to any beneficiary of the Change in Control Plan (which payment constituted a Seller Transaction Expense and was reflected in the calculation of the Purchase Price hereunder), including as a result of the termination of such beneficiary by any Buyer, any Company or any Subsidiary with or without cause following the Closing, US Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days following each of the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and the twelve (12 )month anniversary of the Closing Date, remit the aggregate of such forfeited amounts to Sensus Worldwide or its designee (unless such amounts have already been remitted to Sensus Worldwide or any designee thereof).

(d) In any termination or layoff of any Employee by Buyers, the Companies or the Subsidiaries on or after the Closing, Buyers, the Companies and the Subsidiaries will comply fully, if applicable, with the WARN Act and all other applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, including those prohibiting discrimination and requiring notice to employees, except for any noncompliance that could not result in any liability to Sellers. Buyers shall not, and shall cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to not, at any time prior to sixty (60) days after the Closing date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in the WARN Act affecting in whole or in part any facility, site of employment, operating unit or employee of the Companies or the Subsidiaries without complying fully with the requirements of the WARN Act. Buyers, the Companies and the Subsidiaries will bear the cost of compliance with (or failure to comply with) any such laws.

(e) For periods on and after the Closing Date, the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall continue to have all obligations and liabilities under and with respect to the Benefit Plans and to or with respect to all persons entitled to benefits under the provisions of each such Benefit Plan, subject to the terms of each such Benefit Plan.

Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this Section 5.10 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any Employee or any dependent or beneficiary thereof. No provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall otherwise constitute (i) a guarantee of continued employment of any Employee, (ii) a prohibition on Buyers from terminating the employment of any Employee, or (iii) the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan (including any Benefit Plan) for purposes of ERISA or otherwise, and nothing herein shall prevent the amendment, modification or termination of any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Buyers or their Affiliates after the Closing.

(a) For six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, Buyers agree to cause each of the Companies and the Subsidiaries to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless all of their past and present officers and directors to the same extent such persons are indemnified by the Companies or the Subsidiaries as of the date hereof pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Companies or the Subsidiaries or any agreement between the Companies or the Subsidiaries and such officer or director, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date, and Buyers shall not permit the Companies or the Subsidiaries to amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Companies’ or the Subsidiaries’ Governing Documents, or any agreement with an officer or director if such agreement is listed on Section 5.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, relating to the exculpation or indemnification of former officers and directors as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall obtain “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the Companies’ and the Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms not less favorable than such existing insurance coverage; provided, that in the event that any claim is brought under such director’s and officer’s liability insurance policies, such policies shall be maintained until final disposition thereof. The fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such “tail” policy shall be borne by US Buyer; provided, however, that US Buyer shall not be required to pay an amount in respect of such “tail” policy in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Companies prior to the date hereof in respect of D&O coverage (such amount to be set forth in Section 5.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule).

10.3 Waivers. The failure of a Party hereto at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by a Party of any condition or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, and no waiver in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach in other instances or a waiver of any other condition or breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty.

The Parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is

invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

To the extent applicable, the foregoing constitutes the election of the Parties to invoke any law authorizing electronic signatures.

10.16 Retention of Advisors. In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement following the Closing, Sellers and their shareholders shall have the right, at their election, to retain Mayer Brown LLP and/or Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited to represent them in such matter, even if such representation shall be adverse to Buyers, the Companies and/or the Subsidiaries.

10.17 Protected Communication. The Parties to this Agreement agree that, immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action (a) all right, title and interest of the Companies and any Subsidiary in and to all Protected Communications shall thereupon transfer to and be vested solely in Sellers and their successors in interest, and (b) any and all protections from disclosure, including, but not limited to, attorney-client privileges and work product protections, associated with or arising from any Protected Communications that would have been exercisable by the Companies or any Subsidiary shall thereupon be vested exclusively in Sellers and their successors in interest and shall be exercised or waived solely as directed by Sellers or

their successors in interest as between Sellers, on the one hand, and the Companies and the Subsidiaries, on the other hand. None of Buyers, the Companies, the Subsidiaries or any Person acting on any of their behalf shall, without the prior written consent of Sellers or their successors in interest, assert or waive or attempt to assert or waive any such protection against disclosure, including, but not limited to, the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, or to discover, obtain, use or disclose or attempt to discover, obtain, use or disclose any Protected Communications in any manner in connection with any dispute or Legal Proceeding relating to or in connection with this Agreement, the events and negotiations leading to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, the foregoing shall neither prohibit Buyers from seeking proper discovery of such documents nor Sellers from asserting that such documents are not discoverable to the extent that applicable attorney-client privileges and work product protections have attached thereto.

Sellers and their successors in interest shall have the right at any time prior to or following the Closing to remove, erase, delete, disable, copy or otherwise deal with any Protected Communications in whatever way they desire.

10.18 No Waiver of Privilege, Protection from Disclosure or Use. The Parties hereto understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 10.16 and Section 10.17 regarding the assertions of protection from disclosure and use, privilege and conflicts of interest, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable attorney-client privilege or other protection from disclosure or use. Each of the Parties understands and agrees that it has undertaken reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of Protected Communications. Notwithstanding those efforts, the Parties understand and agree that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement could result in the inadvertent disclosure of information that may be confidential, eligible to be subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure. The Parties further understand and agree that any disclosure of information that may be confidential, subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure will not constitute a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any claim of confidentiality, privilege, or protection from disclosure, including, but not limited to, with respect to information involving or concerning the same subject matter as the disclosed information. The Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to return any inadvertently disclosed information to the disclosing Party promptly upon becoming aware of its existence. The Parties further agree that promptly after the return of any inadvertently disclosed information, the Party returning such information shall destroy any and all copies, summaries, descriptions and/or notes of such inadvertently disclosed information, including electronic versions thereof, and all portions of larger documents or communications that contain such copies, summaries, descriptions and/or notes.

10.19 Waiver of Claims Against Debt Financing Source Parties and Governing Law and Forum for Any Actions Involving Debt Financing Source Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Seller agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that none of the Debt Financing Source Parties shall have any liability to Sellers, the Companies or their respective Affiliates (other than Buyers) relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the financing of the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and that neither Sellers, the Companies nor any of their respective Affiliates (other than Buyers) will have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source Parties under this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated by, or entered into in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any commitments by the Debt Financing Source Parties in respect of financing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject in all respects to the provisions of any other agreement (including any commitment letter or definitive agreement relating to any Debt Financing) between any Debt Financing Source Party and any Party hereto, all matters relating to any action or claim against any Debt Financing Source Party, and all matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort, or otherwise) against any of the Debt Financing Source Parties in any way relating to the Debt Financing, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the domestic law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Source Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom).

RYE BROOK, N.Y., August 15, 2016 – Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Sensus for approximately $1.7 billion in cash.

Sensus, owned by investment funds affiliated with The Jordan Company and GS Capital Partners 2000, is a leading provider of smart meters, network technologies, and advanced data analytics services for the water, electric and gas industries. It has more than 80 million metering devices installed globally, and its distinctive FlexNet^® communications network technology uses licensed spectrum in the U.S. and other geographies and provides secure connectivity solutions that support multiple applications.

Sensus generated $837 million in adjusted revenue and $159 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in fiscal 2016, which ended March 31, 2016. The $1.7 billion cash purchase price is 10.7x Sensus’ fiscal year 2016 adjusted EBITDA. Xylem expects to achieve at least $50 million in annual cost synergies to be substantially realized within three years of closing as Xylem extends its proven global procurement and continuous improvement initiatives into this business, with significant additional revenue synergy potential. The transaction is expected to be accretive to Xylem’s adjusted earnings in 2017.

“With Sensus, we will acquire a strategically valuable asset that will accelerate our ability to bring systems intelligence solutions to customers across the water and energy industries, establish a foundation for future growth and create significant shareholder value,” said Patrick Decker, Xylem President and Chief Executive Officer. “This will be an important milestone in our strategy to move Xylem’s portfolio of solutions up the technology curve. The combination of Xylem’s world-class brands and products with Sensus’ leading-edge smart technologies will create a differentiated offering that will better meet our customers’ evolving needs, including greater energy efficiency, water conservation, and improved life-cycle costs.

“Sensus has a very broad product portfolio in metering and is well positioned in the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) segment,” continued Mr. Decker. “The AMI segment is growing at nearly twice the rate of the total metering space, driven in part by regulations and customers’ growing need for real-time data and reduced operational costs. Our expansive customer relationships will be able to extend the reach of Sensus’ products and technologies to new markets globally, particularly in emerging markets. As a combined company, we expect Xylem to grow faster and be more profitable.”

Mr. Decker added, “This move will also advance the innovation strategy we outlined at our Investor Day last year. Combining the advanced technology and R&D expertise and capabilities of both companies, we anticipate accelerating our delivery of innovative solutions to our customers, particularly in the area of advanced analytics across the water, wastewater and outdoor water sectors. Sensus’ network platform, FlexNet^®, can support many of Xylem’s connected product offerings and enable expansion into adjacent Internet of Things markets. We also see natural opportunities to extend the company’s advanced data analytics platform, which provides actionable insights for customers, to Xylem products. Both platforms provide a powerful foundation for future organic and inorganic growth opportunities.”

In addition to its strong presence in the smart water sector, Sensus generates approximately 24 percent of its revenues from sales to electric and gas utilities. The projected growth rate of smart metering, particularly AMI, is even higher in these sectors than in water, and Sensus is well positioned to capture that growth with its network-enabled solutions.

Mr. Decker concluded, “We are very pleased with the opportunity to add the world-class talent of Sensus to Xylem. As a unified company, we look forward to providing customers with an even more compelling offering that will add measurable value to their operations, and create significant incremental value for our shareholders.”

Randy Bays, President of Sensus, said, “Xylem is a highly respected company and we are confident that, together, we will have the resources and scale to continue advancing differentiated technology and delivering innovative solutions to our customers around the world. We look forward to working with the Xylem team to ensure a smooth transition and completing the combination as quickly as possible.”

Speaking on behalf of the Xylem Board of Directors, Xylem Chairman Markos I. Tambakeras said, “This is an excellent transaction and we are enthusiastic about the future combination of these two companies. We have full confidence in the management team’s ability to execute a smooth integration and significantly enhance shareholder value.”

Sensus has approximately 3,300 employees and major locations in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, Slovakia, and China. Nearly 70 percent of 2016 revenues were generated in the U.S.

Xylem will finance the all-cash transaction with the deployment of approximately $400 million of Xylem’s non-U.S. cash, new and existing credit facilities, and a combination of short- and long-term debt. There is no change to Xylem’s full-year 2016 adjusted earnings outlook. Xylem expects to maintain quarterly dividend payments to shareholders.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review, including approval by the Federal Communications Commission of the transfer of certain spectrum licenses. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016.

This press release contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Generally, the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “believe,” “target,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements include statements about the capitalization of Xylem Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s restructuring and realignment, future strategic plans and/or acquisitions and other statements that describe the Company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals. All statements that address operating or financial performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future – including statements relating to orders, revenues, operating margins and earnings per share growth, statements relating to potential or anticipated acquisitions of assets or stock of a target company and statements expressing general views about future operating results – are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from

those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from such forward-looking statements. The consummation of any transaction described in this release is subject to certain conditions that must be satisfied pursuant to the relevant transaction documents. There can be no assurances that such conditions will be satisfied.

Factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated include: economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations, including military actions, economic sanctions or trade embargoes that could affect customer markets, and non-compliance with laws, including foreign corrupt practice laws, export and import laws and competition laws; potential for unexpected cancellations or delays of customer orders in our reported backlog; our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; competition and pricing pressures in the markets we serve; the strength of housing and related markets; ability to retain and attract key members of management; our relationship with and the performance of our channel partners; our ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions; adverse or unanticipated actions or omissions taken by any regulatory or other governmental authority, including, but not limited to, the refusal by the FTC, the DOJ, the SEC or the FCC to approve, in whole or in part, certain of our planned transactions or acquisitions; our ability to borrow or to refinance our existing indebtedness and availability of liquidity sufficient to meet our needs; changes in the value of goodwill or intangible assets; risks relating to product defects, product liability and recalls; governmental investigations; security breaches or other disruptions of our information technology systems; litigation and contingent liabilities; and other factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and those described from time to time in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements made herein are based on information currently available to the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margins, segment operating income and margins, orders growth, free cash flow, working capital, and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or “adjusted”) measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including but not limited to, dividends acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. However, other than with respect to total revenue, we only provide guidance on a non-GAAP basis and do not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as, integration and acquisition-related costs, special charges and tax related special items. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:

“Adjusted revenue” defined as revenue, adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash deferred revenue recognized.

“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization expense, and share-based compensation. “Adjusted EBITDA” reflects the adjustments to EBITDA to exclude the impact of non-cash revenue as well as the reversal of a product warranty reserve, restructuring and realignment charges, management fees and other non-recurring charges.
