Entry into Merger Agreement

Note 2. Entry into Merger Agreement

On March 7, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), pursuant to which the Company would be acquired by an affiliate of KKR for $76.00 per share in cash and would cease to be a publicly traded company. Consummation of the merger is subject to shareholder approval, certain customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Subject to satisfaction of the closing conditions and receipt of the required approvals, it is expected that the merger will close in the third quarter of 2013.

Under the merger agreement, the Company is subject to customary covenants regarding the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries prior to the closing. The Company is also subject to customary restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and communicate with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals; however, prior to approval of the merger by the Company’s shareholders, these restrictions are subject to a customary “fiduciary-out” provision, which provides for certain exceptions to the restrictions imposed by the merger agreement.

 

If the Company terminates the merger agreement under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to pay a termination fee of $103.4 million and reimbursement of KKR’s expenses up to $10 million. The merger agreement also provides that KKR will be required to pay the Company a reverse termination fee equal to $263.1 million if the merger agreement is terminated by KKR under certain circumstances.

Additionally, in connection with the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with KKR, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to its Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2013, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which rendered the rights agreement inapplicable to the transactions contemplated under the merger agreement between the Company and KKR.
