ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

On July 30, 2013, Cubist, Purchaser and Trius entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Trius Common Stock  (the “Shares”), at a price of $13.50, in cash (the “Closing Amount”), for each Share, plus one non-transferable contingent value right (“CVR”) to receive up to $2.00, in cash, if specified sales milestones are achieved in agreed upon time periods (the Closing Amount plus one CVR, or any such higher consideration per Share that may be paid pursuant to the Offer, is referred to herein as the “Offer Price”), less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, and, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer and the Merger Agreement. After consummation of the Offer, Purchaser will merge with and into Trius (the “Merger”), whereupon Purchaser’s separate corporate existence will cease and Trius will continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cubist.

 

As an inducement to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration thereof, Cubist and Purchaser entered into Tender and Voting Agreements (the “Tender and Voting Agreements”), dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement, with the officers, directors and their stockholder affiliates (collectively, the “Stockholders”) listed on Schedule II hereto, pursuant to which each Stockholder will tender into the Offer all Shares beneficially held by them.

 

Pursuant to the Tender and Voting Agreements, each Stockholder has irrevocably appointed Cubist as proxy to vote the Shares to which a Stockholder has voting power and which are held in such Stockholder’s name, place and stead, at any annual, special or other meeting or action of the stockholders of Trius, as applicable, or at any adjournment thereof, whether before or after the Purchaser first accepts any Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer, solely for the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

Shared dispositive power with respect to Shares beneficially owned by the Stockholders may be deemed to have been acquired through execution of the Tender and Voting Agreements. Cubist has not expended any funds in connection with the execution of the Tender and Voting Agreements, except for the transaction expenses (funded by Cubist’s working capital) otherwise to be incurred in connection with the Offer and the Merger.

 

Cubist and Purchaser estimate, based on the information provided by Trius, that the total amount of funds required to purchase all outstanding Shares pursuant to the Offer and to complete the Merger could be up to approximately $818 million, which consists of approximately $707 million in Closing Amounts in respect of the Shares and up to approximately $111 million in payments pursuant to the CVRs.

 

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D. The form of Tender and Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D. References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Voting Agreements as set forth above in this Item 3 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the form of Tender and Voting Agreement included as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and which are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference. The information set forth and/or incorporated by reference in Item 6 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

 

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

The information set forth and/or incorporated by reference in Items 2 and 3 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

 

The purpose of entering into the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Voting Agreements, and the purpose of the Offer, is to enable Cubist and Purchaser to acquire control of, and ultimately the entire equity interest in, Trius. The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there being validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer (as extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement) that number of Shares which represents at least a majority of the then issued and outstanding Shares (on a fully-diluted basis), and the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, having expired or

 

5



 

been terminated. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and applicable law, Purchaser reserves the right to withdraw the Offer and to not take up and pay for any Shares deposited in the Offer unless each of the conditions to the Offer is satisfied or, where permitted, waived by Cubist or Purchaser at or prior to the expiration of the Offer.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Trius has granted Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase at a price per Share equal to the greater of (i) the last reported sale price of a Share on The NASDAQ Global Market on the last trading day prior to the date on which the Top-Up Option is exercised and (ii) the Closing Amount, that number of newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) so that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Purchaser prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Purchaser will own at least 90% of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote on the Merger after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered); provided that the Top-Up Option will not be exercisable for a number of Shares in excess of the Shares authorized and unissued at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option. Purchaser may exercise the Top-Up Option only once, at any time following the time at which Purchaser first accepts any Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. Purchaser’s right to exercise the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that no provision of any applicable law and no applicable order or injunction or other judgment will prohibit the delivery of the Top-Up Shares. The purpose of this provision is to facilitate a short-form merger following completion of the Offer. The Top-Up Option will terminate concurrently with the earlier of (x) consummation of the Merger and (y) the termination or expiration of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

 

If the conditions of the Offer are satisfied or waived and Purchaser accepts, and pays for any Shares validly deposited under the Offer, Purchaser intends to acquire any Shares not deposited under the Offer through a merger under Delaware General Corporation Law, or through a subsequent offering period, in each case for consideration per Share equal to the Offer Price. The exact timing and details of any such transaction will depend upon a number of factors, including the number of Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer. Although Purchaser intends to effect such a transaction generally on the terms described in the Offer to Purchase, it is possible that such a transaction may be delayed or abandoned or may be proposed on different terms.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the first acceptance for payment pursuant to the Offer of Shares, and from time to time thereafter, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate such number of directors on Trius’s board of directors as will give Purchaser, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Act, representation on Trius’s board of directors equal to at least that number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, which is the product of (x) the total number of directors on Trius’s board of directors (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (y) the percentage that such number of Shares so purchased bears to the total number of then-outstanding Shares on a fully-diluted basis, and the Company will, upon request by Purchaser, promptly increase the size of Trius’s board of directors or use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the resignations of such number of directors as is necessary to provide Purchaser with such level of representation.  Subject to the applicable requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market, the Company will also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause individuals designated by Purchaser to constitute the same percentage of each committee of Trius’s board of directors as the percentage of the entire Trius board of directors represented by individuals designated by Purchaser.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, except as required in the Merger Agreement, required by law, consented to in writing by Cubist or specifically disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule (as defined in the Merger Agreement), during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, Trius will conduct its business and operations in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.  In addition, Trius will use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact the material components of its current business organization, including keeping available the services of current officers and key employees, and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its relations and good will with all material suppliers, material customers, governmental bodies and other material business relations. In addition, during the same period, Trius will be subject to certain customary covenants that will prohibit it from taking certain actions (except as required in the Merger Agreement, required by law, consented to in writing by Cubist or specifically disclosed in in the Company Disclosure Schedule). Following completion of the Offer and the Merger, the Reporting Persons intend to operate the Trius business through one or more subsidiaries of Cubist under the direction of Cubist’s management. The Reporting Persons intend to continue to review the business, operations, capitalization and management of Trius. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans and intentions at any time, as they deem appropriate.

 

6



 

If permitted by applicable law, subsequent to the completion of the Offer and a short-form merger or any subsequent offering period, if necessary, the Reporting Persons intend to delist the Shares from The Nasdaq Global Market.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Schedule 13D (including any information incorporated by reference), the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

 

a)             The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the issuer;

 

b)             An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

c)              A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

d)             Any change in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

 

e)              Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer;

 

f)               Any other material change in the issuer’s business or corporate structure including but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

 

g)              Changes in the issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person;

 

h)             Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

 

i)                 A class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

 

j)                Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

The information set forth and/or incorporated by reference in Items 2, 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

 

The beneficial ownership percentages described in this Schedule 13D are based on 51,915,557 Shares deemed to be outstanding as of August 1, 2013, calculated as the sum of (i) 48,268,557 Shares outstanding at the close of business on August 1, 2013, as represented by Trius in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 and (ii) an aggregate of 3,647,143Shares issuable upon the exercise of options held by the Stockholders that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, assuming that the Offer will be consummated within 60 days of the date of this filing, at which time all outstanding options subject to Tender and Voting Agreements will be exercisable.

 

(a)                                 As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons own no Shares. For purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, however, as a result of entering into the Tender and Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to possess beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 14,287,709 Shares, representing approximately 27.5% of the Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2013.

 

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, (1) to the best of Cubist’s knowledge as of the date hereof, neither Cubist nor any of its directors and executive officers named in Schedule I hereto owns any Shares, and (2) to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge as of the date hereof, neither Purchaser nor any of its directors and executive officers named in Schedule I hereto owns any Shares.

 

(b)                                 Prior to July 30, 2013, none of the Reporting Persons owned or was the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act) of any Shares. Upon execution of the Tender and Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act) of the Shares, because pursuant to the Tender and Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired the shared power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of 14,287,709 the Shares, representing approximately 27.5% , based on 48,268,557 Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2013.

 

7



 

c)                                      Except for the transactions described herein, (1) to the best of Cubist’s knowledge as of the date hereof, neither Cubist nor any of its directors and executive officers named in Schedule I hereto has effected any transaction in Shares during the past 60 days, and (2) to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge as of the date hereof, neither Purchaser nor any of its directors and executive officers named in Schedule I hereto has effected any transaction in Shares during the past 60 days.

 

d)                                     Other than the Stockholders identified in Item 3 party to the Tender and Voting Agreement in the form of Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference, (1) to the best of Cubist’s knowledge as of the date hereof, neither Cubist nor any of its directors and executive officers named in Schedule I hereto has or knows any other person who has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares beneficially owned by Cubist, and (2) to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge as of the date hereof, neither Purchaser nor any of its directors and executive officers named in Schedule I hereto has or knows any other person who has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends.

 

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

The information set forth and/or incorporated by reference in Items 2 through 5 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

 

As described in Item 3, on July 30, 2013, Cubist and Purchaser entered into the Tender and Voting Agreements with Stockholders. During the term of the Tender and Voting Agreements, except as otherwise provided therein, each Stockholder agreed not to: (A) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, tender, encumber or otherwise dispose of or limit its right to vote in any manner any of the Shares beneficially owned by the Stockholder, or agree to do any of the foregoing; or (B) take any action which would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing their obligations under the applicable Tender and Voting Agreement.

 

Except for the agreements described above, to the knowledge of Cubist and Purchaser, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, between the persons enumerated in Item 2, and any other person, with respect to any securities of Trius, including any securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities other than standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements.

 

References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Voting Agreement as set forth above in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the form of Tender and Voting Agreement included as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and which are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference.
