Introductory Note

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2016, Anadigics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Anadigics”), entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “II-VI Merger Agreement”) with II-VI Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Regulus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which Parent will acquire Anadigics. Among other things, the Amendment increased the purchase price for the Company’s outstanding common stock from $0.66 per share to $0.85 per share.

 

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, on March 11, 2016. The depository for the Offer has preliminarily indicated that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 47,782,407 Shares have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (not including 4,218,728 Shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery that had not been delivered to the depository for the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer), representing approximately 52.92% of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis. The number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfies the Minimum Condition. All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived, Purchaser has accepted for payment and expects to pay promptly for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer.

 

As a result of its acceptance of, and following payment for, the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser acquired a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Accordingly, Parent and Purchaser have effected the Merger pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. In the Merger, each Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and Shares owned by the Company and any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties, and (ii) Shares owned by stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for, or loss their rights to, appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Shares) was at the effective time of the Merger converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. All Shares will be delisted from NASDAQ and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

 

Item 2.01      Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As described in the Introductory Note above, on March 14, 2016, Regulus accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Date and on March 14, 2016, paid for such Shares. On March 15, 2016, the Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with no stockholder vote required to consummate the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI. As a result, a change of control of the Company occurred.

 

The information contained in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01. The foregoing description of the Merger is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 
 

 

    

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

 

On March 15, 2016, in connection with the consummation of the Offer and the Merger, the Company (a) notified the NASDAQ stock market (“NASDAQ”) of the consummation of the Merger and (b) requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Trading of Shares on the NASDAQ was suspended as of the close of trading on March 15, 2016. The Company also intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

Rein, Ronald Rosenzweig and Dennis Strigl tendered their respective resignations as directors from the Company’s Board of Directors and from all Committees of the Board of Directors on which such directors served, effective as of the effective time of the Merger.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the directors of Regulus immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became the directors of the Company from and after the effective time of the Merger.

 

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

 

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended or restated, and its bylaws, as amended or restated, were each amended and restated in their entirety at the effective time of the Merger to be identical to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Regulus as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than the name of the Company.
