CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation(1) Amount of Filing Fee(2)
$50,278,811 $6,260
(1)Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation assumes the purchase of 4,413,190 shares of voting common stock, par value $0.10 per share, at an offer price of $11.03 per share. The transaction value also includes (i) 117,300 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock option grants with an exercise price of less than $11.03 per share, which is calculated by (x) multiplying the number of shares underlying such options at each exercise price therefor by an amount equal to $11.03 minus such exercise price and (y) dividing such product by the offer price of $11.03 per share, and (ii) 27,879 shares issuable upon settlement of restricted stock units multiplied by the offer price of $11.03 per share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by MGC Diagnostics Corporation and its transfer agent as of the close of business on November 24, 2017.
(2)The amount of the filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for fiscal year 2018, issued August 24, 2017, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001245.

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with this Amendment and any other amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) is being filed by (i) MGC Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and (ii) AC Breathe Merger Sub Inc., a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”). This Schedule TO relates to the tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”), of MGC Diagnostics Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), at a price of $11.03 per Share, net to the seller in cash without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes or deductions required by applicable law, if any, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated November 29, 2017 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, together with any amendments or supplements, collectively constitute the “Offer.”

 

Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference as relevant to items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule TO.

 

Item 11. Additional Information.

 

The disclosure set forth in the Offer to Purchase under Section 16 “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting a new subsection titled “Shareholder Litigation” after the paragraph under the heading “General” and before the heading “State Takeover Statutes” and inserting the following under the new heading “Shareholder Litigation”:

 

“On December 12, 2017, a putative class action complaint captioned Adam Franchi v. MGC Diagnostics Corporation, Case No. 17-cv-05411-WMW-HB, was filed in the United States District Court, for the District of Minnesota (the “Franchi Litigation”). The Franchi Litigation was filed against the Company, the individual members of the Company’s Board, Purchaser, Parent and Altus Capital Partners, Inc., an affiliate of Parent and Purchaser. The Franchi Litigation generally alleges, among other things, that the members of the Company’s Board issued a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the “Recommendation Statement”) that violates Sections 14(d)(4) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), because it allegedly omits or misrepresents material facts and alleges that the members of the Company’s Board, Purchaser, Parent and Altus Capital Partners, Inc. violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the allegedly misleading Recommendation Statement. The plaintiff in the Franchi Litigation generally seeks, among other relief, declaratory and injunctive relief prohibiting consummation of the proposed Offer and Merger, rescission of the proposed Offer and Merger if consummated prior to final judgment, an order directing the individual defendants to amend the Recommendation Statement to make additional disclosures, damages and attorneys’ fees and expenses, and other forms of relief. The Company is reviewing the allegations in the Franchi Litigation, but believes that the claims that the Company violated the federal securities laws and that shareholders have been misled lack merit, and the Company will vigorously defend against the claims raised by the Franchi Litigation.”
