As previously announced, on December 12, 2016, the boards of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne”) and e2v technologies plc (“e2v”) announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer by Teledyne by means of a court approved scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme"), through a wholly-owned subsidiary, for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of e2v (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed on March 28, 2017.
Each e2v share was valued at 275 pence. The aggregate value for the transaction, excluding transaction costs, was approximately £627 million (or approximately $789 million) taking into account e2v stock options and net debt as of September 2016.
The Scheme was sanctioned by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales on March 27, 2017. The Scheme became effective on March 28, 2017, upon delivery of the High Court’s order to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales. e2v’s shares are expected to be delisted from the London Stock Exchange on March 29, 2017.
The foregoing summary of the Acquisition does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Rule 2.7 Announcement for the Acquisition, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Teledyne’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 11, 2016, and incorporated by reference herein.
