ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On September 5, 1995, Megatest Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Megatest"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
(the "Merger Agreement") with Teradyne, Inc. ("Teradyne") and M Merger Corp.,
a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Teradyne ("Merger Sub").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the satisfaction of all closing
conditions, Merger Sub will merge (the "Merger") with and into Megatest, and
Megatest will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teradyne.
Upon the closing of the Merger each outstanding share of Megatest
common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9091 shares of
Teradyne common stock, subject to the following adjustment (.9091 shares, as
adjusted, the "Exchange Ratio"): (i) if the Final Teradyne Stock Price (as
defined below) is equal to or less than $36.00 per share, no adjustment to the
Exchange Ratio shall be made; (ii) if the Final Teradyne Stock Price is greater
than $36.00 per share then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted pursuant to the
following formula:
Exchange Ratio = 1
------------------------------------------
(Final Teradyne Stock Price x .02) + .38
but in no event will the Exchange Ratio be greater than .9091 or less than
.8333. "Final Teradyne Stock Price" shall mean the average of the closing
prices of Teradyne common stock for the twenty consecutive days on which
Teradyne common stock is traded on The New York Stock Exchange ending on the
fifth calendar day immediately preceding the Special Meeting of Megatest
stockholders held for the purpose of approving the Merger.
