Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed, on September 9, 2013, Molex Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Koch Industries, Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Parent”), and Koch Connectors, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on December 9, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Merger was consummated.  At the effective time of the closing of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.05 per share (“Common Stock”), Class A Common Stock, par value $0.05 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.05 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into the right to receive $38.68 per share in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), which includes a payment adjustment amount equal to $0.18 as provided in the Merger Agreement.
