Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed, on March 18, 2012, Adams Golf, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Apple Tree Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). On June 1, 2012, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (including each share of restricted stock, each of which has fully vested, but excluding any shares of common stock owned by the Company or its subsidiaries and by any stockholders who have properly exercised and not withdrawn appraisal rights under Delaware law) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $10.80 in cash, without interest and subject to any required tax withholding. The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

The information set forth above under Item 2.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Following completion of the Merger, the Company notified the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and requested that Nasdaq (i) suspend trading in the Company’s common stock and (ii) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an application on Form 25 to report that the Company’s common stock is no longer listed on Nasdaq. As a result, the Company’s common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq. The Company also intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requesting that its common stock be deregistered and that its reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth under Items 2.01, 3.01 and 5.01 of this Form 8-K are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01 Change in Control of Registrant

The information set forth above under Item 2.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Merger, a change of control of the Company occurred, and the Company has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on June 1, 2012, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became the directors of the Company.

The information set forth under Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

At the effective time of the Merger, pursuant to the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on May 31, 2012, and the Merger Agreement, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company were restated in their entirety. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.


Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

A special meeting of stockholders of the Company was held on May 30, 2012. The meeting was held in order to vote upon the following proposals set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the SEC on May 4, 2012: (i) to consider and vote on a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and (ii) to approve the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement. The proposals were approved by the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Results of the voting were as follows:

Proposal 1: Adoption of the Merger Agreement

 

For

 

Against

 

Abstain

 

Broker Non-Votes

5,789,481   59,061   25  

Because the Merger Agreement was adopted by greater than a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock, it was unnecessary to tally the votes for the second proposal to adjourn the meeting.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 1, 2012, Parent issued a press release announcing that the Merger had been consummated.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
