Item 2.01   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On December 15, 2010, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement”) by and among Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Kratos”), Hammer Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Kratos (“ Merger Sub”) and Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the ” Company”), as amended, Kratos completed its acquisition of the Company via the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company in the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Kratos (the “ Merger”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, were approved by the Company’s board of directors and its stockholders. The Company’s stockholders approved the Merger Agreement at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on December 15, 2010.
At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive $8.20 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. In addition, outstanding options to purchase the Company’s common stock will be assumed by Kratos and converted into options to purchase a number of shares of common stock of Kratos equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (a) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be purchased under the assumed options multiplied (b) by 0.7715. The assumed options will otherwise have the same terms as in effect prior to the conversion, except that (i) they will be denominated in Kratos’s common stock and (ii) the per share exercise price of each assumed option shall be adjusted by dividing such exercise price by 0.7715.
The aggregate merger consideration to be paid by Kratos in connection with the Merger will be equal to approximately $54.9 million.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and the Amendment to the Merger Agreement, which are included as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 3.01   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
In connection with the completion of the Merger on December 15, 2010, the Company has notified The NASDAQ Capital Market Corporate Data Operations Department that the Merger has been completed, and has been advised that quotation of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market was suspended following the closing of the NASDAQ market session of December 15, 2010. The Company intends to file a certification on Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, be suspended.

 


 

Item 3.03   Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Item 5.01   Changes in Control of Registrant

Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On December 15, 2010, at the effective time of the Merger, each of Richard D. Rockwell, James E. Henry, Brian Reach, Robert De Lia, Sr., James W. Power, Joseph P. Ritorto and David Sands, who constituted the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the Merger (the “ Prior Directors”), resigned from their directorships of the Company and from all committees of which they were members. The resignation of the Prior Directors did not result from any disagreements with the Company regarding any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Immediately following resignation of the Prior Directors and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger on December 15, 2010, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became the directors of the Company. As such, at the effective time, the size of the Board of Directors of the Company was reduced to three members and each of Eric M. DeMarco, Deanna H. Lund and Laura L. Siegal became members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Eric DeMarco, 46, has served as Kratos’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Director since April 2004.
