To the Stockholders of Inet Technologies, Inc.:

      The board of directors of Inet Technologies, Inc. has approved the merger of Inet with a newly formed subsidiary of Tektronix, Inc. We cordially invite you to attend our special meeting of stockholders of Inet, at which you will be asked to vote to approve the merger. The Inet board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” approval and adoption of the merger and the related merger agreement at the special meeting.

      At the time the merger becomes effective, each share of your Inet common stock will be converted into the right to receive $6.25 in cash and a fractional share of Tektronix common stock. The fractional share of Tektronix common stock that you will receive in the merger will be determined by an exchange ratio calculated by reference to the average of the closing sale price per share of Tektronix common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the closing date of the merger, referred to as the “Tektronix average price.” If the Tektronix average price is greater than or equal to $34.83, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $34.83, or 0.179. If the Tektronix average price is equal to or less than $28.50, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $28.50, or 0.219. If the Tektronix average price is greater than $28.50 and less than $34.83, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $6.25 by the Tektronix average price. The following table shows the implied total value of the merger consideration you would receive for each share of Inet common stock based on various Tektronix average prices:

                 
Tektronix Implied Value of Stock
Average Price Cash Exchange Ratio Consideration Implied Total Value





$36.00
  $6.25   0.179   $6.44   $12.69
$35.00
  $6.25   0.179   $6.27   $12.52
$34.83
  $6.25   0.179   $6.25   $12.50
$33.00
  $6.25   0.189   $6.25   $12.50
$32.00
  $6.25   0.195   $6.25   $12.50
$31.66
  $6.25   0.197   $6.25   $12.50
$30.00
  $6.25   0.208   $6.25   $12.50
$29.00
  $6.25   0.216   $6.25   $12.50
$28.50
  $6.25   0.219   $6.25   $12.50
$28.00
  $6.25   0.219   $6.13   $12.38
$27.00
  $6.25   0.219   $5.91   $12.16

For example,

  •  If the Tektronix common stock closing price of $34.94 on June 29, 2004, the last trading day before announcement of the merger, were used as the Tektronix average price, the exchange ratio would be 0.179. This would have resulted in an implied value of the merger consideration for each outstanding share of Inet common stock of $12.50, consisting of $6.25 in cash and 0.179 of a share of Tektronix common stock with a value of $6.25 at June 29, 2004.


Table of Contents

  •  If the Tektronix common stock closing price of $29.36 on August 26, 2004 were used as the Tektronix average price, the exchange ratio would be 0.213. This would have resulted in an implied value of the merger consideration for each outstanding share of Inet common stock of $12.50, consisting of $6.25 in cash and 0.213 of a share of Tektronix common stock with a value of $6.25 at August 26, 2004.

      Please note that the table and examples cited above assume that Tektronix has not exercised its right to substitute cash for the stock portion of the consideration. Please see “The Merger” beginning on page 35 for a description of these matters.

      Based on the outstanding shares of each of Inet and Tektronix on August 26, 2004, if the closing price of Tektronix common stock on August 26, 2004 were used to determine the exchange ratio, after giving effect to the issuance of shares in the merger, the shares received by Inet stockholders would represent approximately 9.2% of Tektronix’s outstanding shares.

      The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger will depend in part on the value of the Tektronix common stock at the effective time of the merger. Please see “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 58.

      Detailed information concerning the proposed merger is set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we urge you to read carefully and in its entirety. In particular, you should consider the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23.

Sincerely,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

Q1: What is the proposed transaction for which I am being asked to vote?
 
A1:  You are being asked to vote to approve and adopt a merger agreement entered into between Tektronix, Inc., Inet Technologies, Inc. and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Tektronix, Inc. The combination between Tektronix and Inet will consist of two separate mergers. First, Impala Merger Corp., a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, will be merged with and into Inet, with Inet surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. When this merger occurs, Inet stockholders will be entitled to receive the merger consideration. See “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration” beginning on page 64. Second, immediately after the first merger, Inet will merge with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, with Impala Acquisition Co. LLC surviving the second merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. In this proxy statement/prospectus, for ease of reference we sometimes refer to the two mergers simply as the “merger.”
 
Q2: What will I receive in the merger?
 
A2:  Subject to adjustments, upon completion of the merger, each share of Inet common stock will be converted into the right to receive $6.25 in cash plus a fractional share of Tektronix common stock based on an exchange ratio. Depending on the closing price of Tektronix common stock during the five trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the closing date, the exchange ratio may be fixed or variable. If the Tektronix average price is equal to or greater than $28.50 and equal to or less than $34.83 per share, then the exchange ratio changes in a manner intended to provide Inet stockholders with a consistent per share value, when combined with the cash consideration of $6.25, of $12.50 per Inet share. However, if the Tektronix average price is less than $28.50 or greater than $34.83, then the exchange ratio is fixed. If the Tektronix average price is less than $28.50, then you will receive total consideration valued at less than $12.50 per Inet share. If the Tektronix average price is greater than $34.83, then you will receive total consideration valued at more than $12.50 per Inet share.
 
Q3: Will I be able to trade the shares of Tektronix common stock I receive in the merger?
 
A3: You may freely trade the shares of Tektronix common stock issued in the merger, unless you are an affiliate of Inet. The shares will be quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TEK.” Persons who are considered affiliates (generally directors, officers and 10% or greater stockholders) of Inet must comply with Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 if they wish to sell or otherwise transfer any of the shares of Tektronix common stock they receive in the merger.
 
Q4: What will happen to Inet’s outstanding stock options and other stock awards in the merger?
 
A4: Inet stock options, stock right awards and restricted stock issued under Inet’s stock option plans (other than stock options and restricted stock issued to non-employee directors and certain executives) will not accelerate. Inet stock options and share right awards will convert to options to purchase or share right awards to receive Tektronix shares. The number of shares of Tektronix common stock subject to the stock options or share right awards will be equal to the sum of the number of Tektronix shares into which the number of Inet shares subject to the stock options or share right awards would have been converted in the merger, plus the number of shares of Tektronix common stock having a value as of the closing date of the merger equal to the amount of cash that would have been received in the merger for the number of Inet shares subject to the stock options or share right awards. The exercise price of each new Tektronix stock option will be obtained by dividing the old aggregate exercise price by the number of shares of Tektronix common stock issuable upon exercise of the stock option. Outstanding shares

of restricted stock will be converted into the same cash and stock consideration as Inet common stock not subject to restricted stock agreements, provided that the restrictions contained in the applicable restricted stock agreements will remain in effect. In addition, the cash consideration receivable in respect of restricted stock will not be payable to a holder of restricted stock until the release of the restrictions contained in the restricted stock agreement.

Q5: What are the material federal income tax consequences of the merger to me?
 
A5: The tax consequences of the merger will depend upon whether it qualifies as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which qualification will depend, in part, on the value of the Tektronix stock at the time of the merger.
 
If the merger qualifies as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will generally recognize gain in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount of cash you receive in the merger, or (2) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the fair market value, as of the effective time of the merger, of the Tektronix common stock you receive, and the amount of cash you receive in the merger, exceeds your adjusted tax basis in your shares of Inet common stock. If the merger qualifies as a “reorganization,” you will not recognize any loss.
 
If the merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the fair market value, as of the effective time of the merger, of the shares of Tektronix common stock you receive plus the amount of cash you receive, and (2) your adjusted tax basis in your shares of Inet common stock.
 
     The tax treatment may not apply to all Inet stockholders. We strongly urge you to consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you. See “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 58.
 
Q6: What vote is required for approval of the two proposals under consideration at the special meeting?
 
A6:  The merger agreement must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Inet common stock. Therefore, if you abstain or fail to vote, it will be the same as voting against the merger agreement. You are entitled to vote on the merger agreement if you held Inet common stock at the close of business on the record date, which is August 27, 2004. On that date, [                    ] shares of Inet common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. The adjournment proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Inet common stock present in person or by proxy at the special meeting, without regard to abstentions, even if there is no quorum at that meeting.
 
Q7: Are there any stockholders already committed to voting in favor of the merger?
 
A7:  Yes. Inet stockholders who collectively held approximately 39.1% of the outstanding shares of Inet common stock on the record date have entered into voting agreements requiring them to vote all of their shares in favor of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement.
 
Q8: When do you expect the merger to be completed?
 
A8:  We expect to complete the merger promptly after we receive Inet stockholder approval at the special meeting and after we receive all necessary regulatory approvals. We anticipate closing on or about [September 30], 2004.
 
Q9: If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?
 
A9: You should instruct your broker to vote your shares, following the directions your broker provides. Your broker will generally not have the discretion to vote your shares without your instructions. Because the proposals in this proxy statement/ prospectus require an affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inet common

iv


Table of Contents

stock for approval, any so-called “broker non-votes” have the same effect as votes cast against the merger agreement.

Q10: What do I need to do now?
 
A10: After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please fill out and sign the proxy card, and then mail your signed proxy card in the enclosed prepaid envelope as soon as possible so that your shares may be voted at the special meeting. Your proxy card will instruct the persons named on the card to vote your shares at the stockholders meeting as you direct on the card. If you sign and send in your proxy card and do not indicate how you want to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and “FOR” the approval of the adjournment proposal. If you do not vote or if you abstain, the effect will be a vote against the merger agreement but have no effect on the adjournment proposal. Your vote is very important.
 
Q11: May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?
 
A11: You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can send a written notice stating that you want to revoke your proxy. Second, you can complete and submit a new proxy card. If you choose either of these two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card to:

  Mark H. Kleinman
  Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
  Inet Technologies, Inc.
  1500 North Greenville Avenue
  Richardson, Texas 75081

  Third, you can attend the Inet special meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting, however, will not revoke your proxy; you must vote at the meeting.
 
  If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your broker to change your vote.

Q12: Should I send in my stock certificates now?
 
A12: No. After the merger is completed, you will receive written instructions for exchanging your stock certificates.
 
Q13: Where can I find more information about the companies?
 
A13:  You can find more information about Tektronix and Inet from the various sources described under “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 94.
 
Q14: Who can help answer my questions?
 
A14: If you have questions about the merger, including procedures for voting your shares, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement/prospectus or the enclosed proxy, you should contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., which is assisting Inet Technologies, Inc. in the solicitation of proxies, as follows:

SUMMARY

      This summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in all respects by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus. Stockholders are urged to review carefully the entire proxy statement/ prospectus. The term “Inet” refers to Inet Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, and the term “Tektronix” refers to Tektronix, Inc., an Oregon corporation, and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or indicated by the context. The term “merger” refers, as the context requires, either to (1) the merger of Impala Merger Corp. with and into Inet or (2) collectively to the merger of Impala Merger Corp. and Inet immediately followed by the merger of Inet with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, as more fully described in this proxy statement/ prospectus.

You are being asked to approve and adopt a merger agreement between Inet and Tektronix (see page 31).

      You are being asked to vote to approve and adopt a merger agreement entered into between Tektronix, Inet and two newly formed wholly owned subsidiaries of Tektronix. The combination between Tektronix and Inet will consist of two separate mergers. First, Impala Merger Corp., a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, will be merged with and into Inet, with Inet surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. When this merger occurs, Inet stockholders will be entitled to receive the merger consideration. See “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration.” Second, immediately after the first merger, Inet will merge with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, with Impala Acquisition Co. LLC surviving the second merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix.

In most cases, each share of your Inet common stock will be exchanged in the merger for $6.25 in cash and a fraction of a share of Tektronix common stock, which will have the combined implied value described below (see page 64).

      In most cases each share of your Inet common stock will be exchanged in the merger for:

  •  $6.25 in cash; and
 
  •  a fraction of a share of Tektronix common stock.

      In this proxy statement/ prospectus, we refer to the fraction of Tektronix common stock to be issued for each share of Inet common stock as the “exchange ratio.” The exchange ratio will be determined by reference to the average of the closing sale price per share of Tektronix common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the closing date of the merger, which we refer to as the “Tektronix average price.” If the Tektronix average price is greater than or equal to $34.83, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $34.83, or 0.179. If the Tektronix average price is equal to or less than $28.50, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $28.50, or 0.219. If the Tektronix average price is greater than $28.50 and less than $34.83, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $6.25 by the Tektronix average price.

      The following graph presents the implied total value of the merger consideration for each outstanding share of Inet common stock at various Tektronix average prices. For illustrative purposes, the market value of Tektronix common stock on the closing of the merger is assumed to be equal to the Tektronix average price. In addition, the graph presents the implied value of the merger consideration at those reference prices, assuming, in each case, that the cash and stock portions of the merger consideration are not adjusted pursuant to the top-up procedures described below. See “The Merger — General — Exchange Ratio” for a table that further illustrates the implied value of the merger consideration assuming various Tektronix average prices.

(GRAPHIC)

The cash and stock portions of the merger consideration may be subject to adjustment in some circumstances (see page 65).

     Cash Top-up

      If at the closing of the transaction the Tektronix average price is less than $31.66 and greater than or equal to $28.50, Tektronix may elect, in its sole discretion, to increase the cash portion of the merger consideration and correspondingly reduce the exchange ratio. The additional cash to be received as merger consideration is referred to as the “additional cash amount.” Tektronix’s right to substitute additional cash in place of its common stock cannot be exercised if and to the extent it would result in a failure to meet

For illustrative purposes, the market value of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger is assumed to be equal to the Tektronix average price. The actual sales price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger may be greater or less than the Tektronix average price.

      For a detailed description of the calculation of the additional cash amount and the adjusted conversion ratio, see “The Merger — General — Cash Top-up.”

     Stock Top-up

      Tektronix may have the ability to substitute additional Tektronix stock for cash depending on various circumstances that relate to the treatment of the merger for tax purposes. Treatment of the merger as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on, among other things, whether the value, as of the effective time of the merger, of the Tektronix common stock payable in respect of Inet common stock is sufficient to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirement contained in applicable tax regulations. Tax counsel has advised that, if the aggregate value of the Tektronix stock issued in the merger equals or exceeds 45% of the aggregate cash and stock consideration payable in respect of the Inet common stock (taking account of Inet stockholders exercising appraisal rights) and other conditions are satisfied, the continuity of interest requirement will be met. Under the merger agreement, specified consequences follow depending on whether or not the value of Tektronix common stock at the effective time of the merger and payable in the merger equals or exceeds 45% of the aggregate cash and stock consideration payable in respect of the Inet common stock (taking into account amounts paid to holders exercising appraisal rights under Delaware law), referred to as the “45% Condition.” For a discussion of the tax consequences to a holder of Inet common stock, see “Risk Factors” and “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

      Tektronix will advise Inet at least two business days before the closing date whether it is willing to substitute additional shares of Tektronix common stock for cash (with that substitution to be based on the Tektronix common stock closing date share price), if necessary, to meet the 45% Condition.

      If the value of the shares of Tektronix common stock payable in respect of the Inet common stock does not meet the 45% Condition and Tektronix has declined to substitute shares of Tektronix common stock for cash, then Inet has the option to either:

  •  proceed with the merger even though the 45% Condition is not satisfied and, consequently, the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law; or
 
  •  terminate the merger agreement.

Table of Contents

      If the value of the shares of Tektronix common stock payable in respect of the Inet common stock does not meet the 45% Condition and Tektronix has offered to substitute shares of Tektronix common stock for cash, then Inet has the option to either:

  •  reject Tektronix’s offer to substitute shares and proceed with the merger even though the 45% Condition is not satisfied, and, consequently, the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law; or
 
  •  accept the substitution of Tektronix common stock for cash and avoid the enhanced risk that the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law.

      It is not possible to know until shortly before the closing which elections Tektronix and Inet will make with respect to either the cash top-up or stock top-up or whether the closing price of Tektronix common stock will permit satisfaction of the 45% Condition. At this time, neither Inet nor Tektronix predicts which election it would make if the 45% Condition is not satisfied.

      The merger agreement does not require, and Inet would not expect to seek, further approval from its stockholders before making the elections described above. Therefore, adoption of the merger agreement by Inet stockholders will give Inet the ability to take steps, such as rejecting the increase in the stock portion of the merger consideration or waiving its tax opinion condition to closing, that will or could result in the merger being fully taxable to Inet stockholders, or, in specified situations, to terminate the transaction, without any further action by, or further solicitation of, Inet stockholders.

      You will not receive any fractional shares of Tektronix common stock in the merger. Instead of any fractional shares, you will be paid cash for the fraction based on the closing price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger.

      For example, if the Tektronix average price were $29.36, which was the closing price of Tektronix common stock on August 26, 2004, the exchange ratio would be 0.213 and an Inet stockholder owning 100 shares of Inet common stock would receive total consideration with an implied value at closing of $1,250.37, consisting of $625.00 in cash, 21 shares of Tektronix common stock, and $8.81 in cash instead of fractional shares. If the Tektronix average price were $34.94, which was the closing sale price for Tektronix common stock on June 29, 2004, the last trading day before the public announcement of the transaction, the exchange ratio would be 0.179 and an Inet stockholder owning 100 shares of Inet common stock would receive total consideration with an implied value at closing of $1,250.43, consisting of $625.00 in cash, 17 shares of Tektronix common stock, and $31.45 in cash instead of fractional shares. Each of these examples assumes that the Tektronix average price is the same as the closing sale price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger.

      As more fully described under “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” if the merger qualifies as a “reorganization,” the exchange of your Inet shares for Tektronix shares will be tax-free, but you may have to pay tax on all or a portion of any cash you receive in exchange for your Inet shares. Additionally, no gain or loss will be recognized by Tektronix, Impala Merger Corp., Impala Acquisition Co. LLC or Inet by reason of the merger, whether or not the 45% Condition is met.

      If, however, the 45% Condition is not satisfied and either

  •  Tektronix does not offer to top up the stock portion of the merger consideration and Inet does not terminate the merger agreement or
 
  •  Inet rejects Tektronix’s offer to top up the stock portion of the merger consideration,

the exchange of your Inet shares may be taxable and you may have to pay tax on the cash and stock portions of the merger consideration you receive.

      You should be aware that the tax consequences to you of the merger will depend in part upon your own situation. In addition to being subject to federal income tax, you may be subject to other federal,

state, local or foreign taxes that are not discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. You should therefore consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences to you of the merger.

Tektronix’s dividend policy differs from Inet’s (see page 22).

      Tektronix has paid quarterly dividends on its common stock of $0.04 per share since November 2003. Tektronix may or may not pay dividends in the future and, if dividends are paid, Tektronix may pay more or less than $0.04 per share per quarter. Inet has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

Comparative market prices and share information (see page 22).

      Shares of Tektronix common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “TEK” and Inet common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the trading symbol “INET.” On June 29, 2004, the last trading day before the public announcement of the transaction, the last sales price of Tektronix common stock was $34.94 per share and the last sales price of Inet common stock was $10.70 per share.

      On August 26, 2004, the most recent practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the last sales price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for Tektronix common stock was $29.36 per share and the last sales price reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market for Inet common stock was $12.13 per share. We urge you to obtain current market quotations.

The Inet board recommends that you vote “FOR” approval and adoption of the merger agreement and “FOR” approval of the adjournment proposal (see page 41).

      On June 29, 2004, by unanimous vote, the Inet board of directors

  •  determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are advisable to its stockholders;
 
  •  approved the merger agreement; and
 
  •  resolved to recommend that its stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

      The Inet board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the merger, and a vote “FOR” approval of the adjournment proposal.

Morgan Stanley has provided a fairness opinion to the board of directors of Inet (see page 43).

      In deciding to approve the merger, the Inet board of directors received an opinion from Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated that, as of June 29, 2004 and based on the assumptions and considerations set forth in its opinion, the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to holders of Inet common stock. In its analysis, Morgan Stanley made numerous assumptions with respect to Inet, Tektronix and the transaction. The assumptions and estimates contained in Morgan Stanley’s analyses, and the valuation ranges resulting from the particular analyses, are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by the analyses. The opinion of Morgan Stanley is dated as of June 29, 2004 and opines as to the fairness as of that date only. Morgan Stanley is not obligated to update its June 29, 2004 opinion. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Inet does not intend to request an updated fairness opinion. In the aggregate, Morgan Stanley will receive fees of approximately $5.1 million if the merger is completed. A copy of the fairness opinion is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. Inet stockholders should read the opinion carefully and in its entirety.

There are differences between the rights of Tektronix shareholders and Inet stockholders (see page 83).

      After the merger, Inet stockholders will become Tektronix shareholders and their rights as shareholders will be governed by the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Tektronix and the Oregon Business Corporation Act. There are a number of differences between Tektronix’s articles of incorporation and Inet’s certificate of incorporation and their respective bylaws. The material differences are summarized in this proxy statement/prospectus under “Comparative Rights of Tektronix Shareholders and Inet Stockholders.”

Dissenting Inet stockholders will have appraisal rights (see page 61).

      Under Delaware law, if the merger is completed, Inet stockholders of record who do not vote in favor of the merger and who comply with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (a copy of which can be found in Annex C of this proxy statement/prospectus) will be entitled to receive payment for their shares as may be determined to be due under Section 262.

The interests of some Inet officers and directors in the merger may differ from yours (see page 53).

      When considering the recommendation by the Inet board of directors to vote “FOR” the merger agreement, you should be aware that directors and executive officers of Inet have interests in the merger agreement that are different from, and may conflict with, your interests. Specified directors and executive officers of Inet will also receive specified benefits upon completion of the merger, including accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock and/or severance arrangements pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement and Inet’s stock option plans. No member of the Inet board of directors will receive any severance.

      Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, Messrs. Elie S. Akilian, Inet’s President and Chief Executive Officer and approximately 20.5% stockholder, and Samuel S. Simonian, Inet’s Chairman of the Board and approximately 18.6% stockholder, each entered into the following agreements with Tektronix and/or Inet:

  •  a voting agreement, under which each of Messrs. Akilian and Simonian agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Inet common stock at a meeting of stockholders for the merger and against any competing proposal;
 
  •  a noncompetition agreement to be effective as of closing of the merger agreement, providing for, among other things, Messrs. Akilian’s and Simonian’s agreement not to engage in the business of Inet for five years; and
 
  •  a registration rights agreement, under which Tektronix agreed to put in place at closing a shelf registration statement for a period of up to one year to facilitate resales of the Tektronix common stock received by Messrs. Akilian and Simonian in the merger.

In addition, upon closing of the merger agreement, specified executive officers of Inet will be entitled to severance payments described below in “The Merger — Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger — Severance Plan.”

      The Inet board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the merger agreement.

      Following the merger, none of the members of Inet’s board of directors will serve as members of Tektronix’s board of directors. However, Tektronix agreed to continue the indemnification arrangements for the directors and officers of Inet for six years.

Various governmental and regulatory approvals must be obtained (see page 57).

      HSR Act Filing. Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the regulations promulgated pursuant to that act, which we refer to as the “HSR Act,” we may not

Table of Contents

complete the merger until the statutory waiting period has expired or been terminated. On July 20, 2004, Tektronix and Inet each filed a pre-merger Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, which we refer to as the “Justice Department,” and the Federal Trade Commission, which we refer to as the “FTC.” On August 3, 2004, the FTC notified Tektronix and Inet that it and the Justice Department had granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Although the waiting period has terminated, at any time before or after the effective time of the merger, the Justice Department, the FTC or others could take action under federal or state antitrust laws with respect to the merger, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the merger, to unwind the merger, or to require the divestiture of a portion of Tektronix’s or Inet’s assets. We do not assure you that a challenge to the merger on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge is made, that it would not be successful.

      Foreign Regulatory Approvals. It is also a condition to the parties’ respective obligations to complete the merger that all approvals required in foreign jurisdictions, including foreign competition filings (with the exception of Brazil), will have been obtained. See “The Merger — Governmental and Regulatory Approvals — Other Regulatory Approvals.”

The obligations of Tektronix and Inet to complete the merger are subject to a number of conditions (see page 72).

      The obligations of Tektronix and Inet to complete the merger are conditioned upon:

  •  the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct in all material respects;
 
  •  the other party having complied in all material respects with its covenants;
 
  •  the absence of any material adverse effect on the other party’s business, assets or financial condition; and
 
  •  except in specified circumstances, receipt of an opinion of tax counsel.

      In addition, Tektronix’s and Inet’s obligations are further conditioned on the following:

  •  the approval of the merger agreement and the merger by Inet’s stockholders;
 
  •  the absence of any injunction, or other order or actions of any court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting completion of the merger;
 
  •  the termination or expiration of the waiting period (including any extension) applicable to the merger under the HSR Act and receipt of any similar required foreign governmental approvals;
 
  •  the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of Tektronix common stock to be issued in the merger and the shares of Tektronix common stock to be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Inet options and share right awards; and
 
  •  the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, and no issuance of any stop order by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The obligation of Tektronix to effect the merger is further subject to the fulfillment (or waiver by Tektronix) of a condition that Inet shall not have received written demands for appraisal from Inet stockholders who together beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding Inet common stock as of the date immediately before the closing date.

Table of Contents

In specified circumstances Tektronix and Inet may terminate the merger agreement (see page 75).

      The merger agreement may be terminated and the merger may be abandoned at any time before the completion of the merger by mutual written consent of Tektronix and Inet. The merger agreement also may be terminated by either Tektronix or Inet if:

  •  the merger is not completed by December 31, 2004, subject to an extension until March 31, 2005 if regulatory approvals have not been obtained;
 
  •  any governmental authority permanently enjoins or prohibits the merger or declares it illegal; or
 
  •  the stockholders of Inet fail to approve the merger and the merger agreement by December 31, 2004, subject to specified exceptions.

      Additionally, Inet may terminate the merger agreement if:

  •  Tektronix breaches a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, as a result of which Tektronix is unable to satisfy the conditions to Inet’s obligation to close;
 
  •  at any time before the effective time of the merger all of the following conditions are met:

  —  Inet’s board of directors determines that an unsolicited third party acquisition proposal is more favorable to the stockholders of Inet than the merger and authorizes Inet to enter into a binding written agreement with respect to that proposal;
 
  —  Inet notifies Tektronix in writing that it intends to enter into an agreement with the third party, attaching a summary of the material terms of the agreement; and
 
  —  Tektronix does not make, within three (3) business days after receipt of Inet’s written notification of its intention to enter into a binding agreement with respect to the more favorable acquisition proposal, a written offer that Inet’s board of directors determines is at least as favorable as the third party acquisition proposal; or

  •  Tektronix has notified Inet that it does not intend to increase the stock consideration to the extent necessary to meet the 45% Condition.

      Tektronix may terminate the merger agreement if:

  •  Inet breaches a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, as a result of which Inet is unable to satisfy the conditions to Tektronix’s obligation to close;
 
  •  Inet’s board of directors withdraws or modifies its recommendation that Inet’s stockholders approve the merger or recommends, adopts or approves a transaction proposal by a third party;
 
  •  Inet’s board of directors fails to reaffirm its unanimous recommendation in favor of the merger at any time after public announcement of the merger at the request of Tektronix; or
 
  •  a tender offer or exchange offer relating to Inet common stock shall have been commenced by a third party and Inet shall not have promptly following the commencement of the offer sent its stockholders a statement recommending rejection of the offer.

      If the merger agreement is terminated in specified circumstances, including if Inet terminates the agreement to enter into an agreement in respect of a third party acquisition proposal, Inet must pay Tektronix a termination fee of $16.2 million. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee” for a complete discussion of the circumstances in which Inet would be required to pay Tektronix the termination fee.

Inet agreed not to solicit third party acquisition proposals (see page 70).

      Subject to specified exceptions, the merger agreement precludes Inet or any of its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly through any representatives, from soliciting, assisting or facilitating any

proposal for, or participating in any discussions regarding, any third party’s proposal for the acquisition of more than 20% ownership of Inet, its subsidiaries or its assets.

Tektronix common stock is listed on the NYSE (see page 22).

      Shares of Tektronix common stock received by Inet stockholders in the merger will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. After completion of the merger, shares of Tektronix common stock will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange, but shares of Inet common stock will no longer be listed or traded.

  (1)  During fiscal year 2000, Tektronix sold substantially all of the assets of the Color Printing and Imaging division (“CPID”) and accordingly, classified this as a discontinued operation. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheet data for all years presented have been restated to reflect this.
 
  (2)  During fiscal year 2003, Tektronix sold the VideoTele.com subsidiary (“VT.c”) and accordingly, classified this as a discontinued operation. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheet data for all years presented have been restated to reflect this.
 
  (3)  During fiscal year 2003, Tektronix sold its optical parametric test business and accordingly, classified this as a discontinued operation. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheet data for all years presented have been restated to reflect this.
 
  (4)  During fiscal year 2004, Tektronix sold the operations of the Gage Applied Sciences, Inc. subsidiary and accordingly, classified this as a discontinued operation. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheet data for all years presented have been restated to reflect this.
 
  (5)  During fiscal year 2003, Tektronix acquired from Sony Corporation (“Sony”) its 50% interest in Sony/ Tektronix Corporation (“Sony/ Tektronix”) through redemption of Sony’s shares by Sony/ Tektronix for 8 billion yen or approximately $65.7 million at September 30, 2002. This transaction closed on September 30, 2002, at which time Tektronix obtained 100% ownership of Sony/ Tektronix. Tektronix accounted for its investment in Sony/ Tektronix under the equity method prior to this redemption. Acquisition related costs (credits), net, include direct costs (credits) associated with integrating the operations of this subsidiary. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, Tektronix restructured the Japan pension plans and recorded a net gain from the restructuring of $36.7 million. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, Tektronix sold property located in Shinagawa, Japan, and recorded a net gain of $22.5 million. Additionally during the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, Tektronix incurred an impairment loss of $3.1 million on assets held for sale located in Gotemba, Japan.
 
  (6)  Business realignment costs represent actions to realign Tektronix’s cost structure in response to significant events and primarily include restructuring actions and impairment of assets resulting from reduced business levels. Restructuring actions taken during the fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 were intended to reduce Tektronix’s worldwide cost structure across all major functions in response to the dramatic economic decline, which severely impacted markets into which Tektronix sells its products. During fiscal year 2000, Tektronix implemented a series of actions intended to further consolidate worldwide operations and transition Tektronix from a portfolio of businesses to a single business focused on test, measurement and monitoring.
 
  (7)  On August 9, 1999, Tektronix announced that it had reached an agreement to sell substantially all of the operating assets of its Video and Networking division to the Grass Valley Group (“GVG”). During fiscal year 2000, Tektronix recorded pre-tax charges of $31.6 million for losses incurred or expected to be incurred in connection with the transaction. These charges were calculated based

  upon the excess of the estimated net book value of assets to be transferred over the proceeds received, as well as asset impairments incurred as a result of the sale. The companies closed the sale with a series of transactions in fiscal year 2000. The sale of the Video and Networking division did not meet the criteria to be recorded as a discontinued operation.
 
  (8)  During fiscal year 2000, Tektronix recognized gains from the sale of fixed assets, largely land, office, warehouse and manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe.
 
  (9)  Non-operating income (expense), net, primarily includes interest income, interest expense and other gains and losses. Interest income increased significantly beginning in fiscal year 2000 from the cash proceeds received from the sale of CPID in that year.

(10)  During fiscal year 2003, Tektronix recorded a $12.5 million tax benefit resulting from the favorable settlement of IRS audits for Tektronix’s fiscal years 1998, 1999 and 2000. Before the impact of this $12.5 million tax benefit, Tektronix’s effective tax rate for fiscal year 2003 was 32%.

The selected unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations data give pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on June 1, 2003 and combine Tektronix’s consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2004 and Inet’s unaudited statement of operations for the twelve calendar months ended June 30, 2004. The pro forma adjustments are subject to change pending a final analysis of fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued, primarily common stock and stock options assumed. The impact of these changes could be material.

      The selected unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data is derived from the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and should be read in conjunction with those statements and notes to these statements.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

      The following tables present income per share from continuing operations, dividends declared per share, and book value per share on a historical basis for each of Inet and Tektronix and on an unaudited pro forma combined basis per Inet equivalent share and per Tektronix share. The unaudited pro forma per share and share equivalent data gives effect to the proposed merger as a purchase under generally accepted accounting principles for the United States and assumes that the merger was effective as of the beginning of the periods presented.

      Because the number of shares of Tektronix common stock to be issued in the merger will not be known until shortly before the completion of the merger, Inet’s pro forma equivalent per share data cannot be computed at this time. Inet pro forma equivalent per share data presented below is calculated by multiplying Tektronix’s pro forma earnings, dividends, and book value per share by different possible representative exchange ratios. Each share of Inet common stock will also be entitled to receive cash consideration of $6.25 per share, subject to adjustment. See “The Merger — General — Cash Top-up.” The Inet pro forma equivalent per share data does not take into account the cash consideration.

      We urge you to read the information below together with the historical financial statements and related notes of Inet and Tektronix contained in each company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 94 of this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined data below is presented for illustrative purposes only. The companies may have performed differently had they actually been combined during the periods presented below. You should not rely on this information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience after the proposed merger.

(a) Tektronix’s historical and pro forma figures and Inet’s pro forma equivalent figures are provided for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2004. Inet’s historical figures are provided for the annualized period ended June 30, 2004.
 
(b) Tektronix’s pro forma earnings per share was determined for the period shown after giving effect to appropriate pro forma adjustments (assuming completion of the merger as of June 1, 2003). Tektronix’s pro forma earnings per share excludes nonrecurring charges or credits directly attributable to the transaction. Tektronix’s pro forma earnings per share also excludes any revenue or cost-saving synergies. Therefore, the pro forma earnings per share for the period for Tektronix is less than its historical earnings per share because Inet’s incremental contribution to earnings per share is more than offset by amortization of intangible assets and unearned stock compensation, reduced interest income to Tektronix due to the cash portion of the merger consideration and the dilutive effect of Tektronix’s shares issued as merger consideration.
 
(c) 0.179 is the exchange ratio that results if the Tektronix average price is greater than or equal to $34.83.
 
(d) The exchange ratio 0.197 is shown here for presentation purposes because it is the exchange ratio which results from a Tektronix average price of $31.66, the mid-point of the range of the Tektronix average prices between $34.83 and $28.50. The exchange ratio for a Tektronix average price in this range is calculated by dividing $6.25 by the Tektronix average price.
 
(e) 0.219 is the exchange ratio that results if the Tektronix average price is less than or equal to $28.50.
 
(f) Also includes the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents to be issued in connection with the merger.
 
(g) Pro forma cash dividends represent the Tektronix historical amount declared quarterly on a per share basis.
 
(h) Tektronix’s pro forma book value per share was determined for each period shown as of the end of each respective period after giving effect to transaction-related expenses and other pro forma adjustments.
 
(i) Assumes that 7.0 million shares of Tektronix common stock are required to be issued in exchange for 39.3 million shares of Inet common stock as of June 30, 2004, based on an exchange ratio of 0.179

Table of Contents

and a Tektronix common stock price of $34.83 per share. The stock price of $34.83 is used in this calculation because it corresponds to the lowest Tektronix average price at which the exchange ratio of 0.179 is set for all higher Tektronix average prices.
 
(j) Assumes that 7.7 million shares of Tektronix common stock are required to be issued in exchange for 39.3 million shares of Inet common stock as of June 30, 2004, based on an exchange ratio of 0.197 and a Tektronix common stock price of $31.66 per share. The stock price of $31.66 is used in this calculation because it corresponds to the Tektronix average price used to determine the exchange ratio of 0.197 (see footnote (d) above).
 
(k) Assumes that 8.6 million shares of Tektronix common stock are required to be issued in exchange for 39.3 million shares of Inet common stock as of June 30, 2004, based on an exchange ratio of 0.219 and a Tektronix common stock price of $28.50 per share. The stock price of $28.50 is used in this calculation because it corresponds to the highest Tektronix average price at which the exchange ratio of 0.219 is set for all lower Tektronix average prices.

On August 26, 2004, the most recent practicable trading day before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the last sales price of Tektronix common stock reported by the New York Stock Exchange was $29.36 per share and the last sales price of Inet common stock reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market was $12.13 per share. The market prices of shares of Tektronix common stock and Inet common stock are subject to fluctuation. As a result, Inet stockholders are urged to obtain current market quotations.

Tektronix Dividend Policy

      Tektronix has paid quarterly dividends on its common stock of $0.04 per share since November 2003. Tektronix may or may not pay dividends in the future and, if dividends are paid, Tektronix may pay more or less than $0.04 per share per quarter.

Inet Dividend Policy

      Inet has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

RISK FACTORS

      By voting in favor of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement, you will be choosing to invest in shares of Tektronix common stock. An investment in shares of Tektronix common stock involves risk. In deciding whether to vote in favor of the merger agreement, we urge you to consider all of the information we have included in this document and its annexes and all of the information included in the documents incorporated by reference. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 94 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

      In addition, we urge you to pay particular attention to the following risks related to the merger and risks related to Tektronix’s business and the business of the combined company following the merger.

Risks Related to the Merger

 
Because the market price of Tektronix common stock will fluctuate, you cannot be certain of the precise value of the merger consideration that Inet stockholders will receive in the merger.

      You cannot be certain of the precise value of the merger consideration to be received at the effective time of the merger. Upon completion of the merger, each share of Inet common stock will be converted into the right to receive $6.25 plus a fractional share of Tektronix common stock based on an exchange ratio. Depending on the price of Tektronix common stock during the five trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the closing date, the exchange ratio may be fixed or variable. If the five-day average closing price of Tektronix common stock as of the trading day immediately before the closing date is equal to or greater than $28.50 and equal to or less than $34.83 per share, then the exchange ratio is variable in a manner intended to provide Inet stockholders with a consistent per share value, when combined with the cash consideration of $6.25, of $12.50 per Inet share. However, if the five-day average closing price of Tektronix common stock as of the trading day immediately before the closing date is less than $28.50 or greater than $34.83, then the exchange ratio is fixed. Specifically, if the five-day average closing price of Tektronix common stock as of the trading day immediately before the closing date is less than $28.50, the exchange ratio will be fixed at 0.219 shares of Tektronix common stock for each share of Inet common stock. If the five-day average closing price of Tektronix common stock as of the trading day immediately before the closing date is greater than $34.83, the exchange ratio will be fixed at 0.179 shares of Tektronix common stock for each share of Inet common stock. Accordingly, at the time of the special meeting, you will not know the exact value of the stock consideration to be received. See “The Merger — General — Exchange Ratio” for a table that illustrates the implied value of the merger consideration assuming various hypothetical reference prices.

      The prices of Inet common stock and Tektronix common stock at the closing of the merger may vary from their respective prices on the date the merger agreement was executed, on the date of this proxy statement/ prospectus and on the date of the special meeting. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors that are beyond the control of Tektronix and Inet, including general market and economic conditions. In addition, there will be a time period between the completion of the merger and the time at which former Inet stockholders actually receive stock certificates evidencing the Tektronix common stock. Until stock certificates are received, former Inet stockholders may not be able to sell their Tektronix shares in the open market and, therefore, would not be able to avoid losses resulting from any decrease in the trading price of Tektronix common stock during this period.

 
In some cases, the amount of cash Inet stockholders will receive in the merger may be adjusted.

      If the five-day average closing price of Tektronix common stock as of the trading day immediately before the closing date is less than $31.66 but equal to or greater than $28.50, then Tektronix has the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust upward the amount of cash payable to the Inet stockholders (with a corresponding decrease in the value of Tektronix common stock to be issued to Inet stockholders), so long as the aggregate value of the stock portion of the merger consideration constitutes at least 45% of the total merger consideration.

23


Table of Contents

      In addition, if the aggregate value of the shares of Tektronix common stock issuable in the merger is less than 45% of the aggregate value of the total merger consideration, then the allocation of the merger consideration between cash and stock may be adjusted so that the aggregate value of the stock is equal to 45% of the total merger consideration.

 
The market price for Tektronix common stock may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of Inet.

      Upon completion of the merger, holders of Inet common stock will become holders of Tektronix common stock. Tektronix’s businesses differ from those of Inet, and accordingly the results of operations of the combined company will be affected by factors different from those that affect the results of operations of Inet before the merger. For a discussion of the businesses of Inet and Tektronix and of factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus and referred to under “Where You Can Find More Information” at page 94.

 
The merger may fail to qualify as a “reorganization” for federal U.S. income tax purposes, possibly resulting in your recognition of more taxable gain in respect of your Inet shares than would be the case if the merger qualifies as a “reorganization.”

      Assuming various conditions are met, Tektronix and Inet intend that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). Although the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will not provide a ruling on the matter, assuming various conditions are met each company intends to obtain a legal opinion from its tax counsel that the merger will constitute a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These opinions do not bind the IRS or prevent the IRS from adopting a contrary position. If the merger fails to qualify as a “reorganization,” then you may recognize more taxable gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the year of the merger as a result of the merger than if the merger qualifies as a “reorganization.”

 
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger for Inet stockholders will depend upon the value of the merger consideration received and can be adversely affected if the value of Tektronix stock declines to certain levels as of the closing.

      The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to you will depend upon a variety of factors, including the value of the shares of Tektronix common stock you receive as part of the merger consideration. To qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, the merger must satisfy certain requirements including, among others, the “continuity of interest” requirement contained in applicable tax regulations. There is no “bright line” test for determining whether the “continuity of interest” requirement has been met. If the value of Tektronix common stock as of the closing has fallen below a particular level (which can vary, depending upon the number of Inet stockholders who seek to exercise appraisal rights, if any), counsel will be unable to deliver these tax opinions but the parties may nonetheless elect to proceed with the transaction notwithstanding the enhanced likelihood that the merger may be fully taxable to Inet stockholders. If the merger fails to qualify as a “reorganization,” then an Inet stockholder may be required to recognize more taxable gain in the year of the merger as a result of the merger than if the merger qualifies as a “reorganization.” For a detailed discussion of the tax consequences of the merger to Inet stockholders generally, see the section entitled “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 58.

 
The need for governmental approvals may prevent or delay the completion of the merger or may diminish the benefits of the merger.

      As a condition to completing the merger, Tektronix and Inet are required to report the merger to antitrust regulatory agencies in the U.S., Germany, Brazil, and Portugal and in the case of the U.S., Germany and Portugal, either the approval of the relevant agencies must be obtained or the applicable waiting period must expire before the merger can be completed. On August 3, 2004, the FTC notified Tektronix and Inet that it and the Justice Department had granted early termination of the waiting period in the U.S. under the HSR Act. Although the waiting period has terminated, at any time before or after

24


Table of Contents

the effective time of the merger, the Justice Department, the FTC or others could take action under federal or state antitrust laws with respect to the merger, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the merger, to unwind the merger, or to require the divestiture of a portion of Tektronix’s or Inet’s assets. On August 12, 2004, the merger was approved by Germany’s antitrust authority. The merger is currently under review in Brazil and Portugal. The approval of the Brazilian regulatory authority is not required prior to closing. The first phase review period in Portugal ends September 13, 2004. The parties will be able to complete the merger if that period ends without a further request for information from the Portugese regulatory authority. A more detailed discussion of the regulatory requirements applicable to the merger is set forth under the section entitled “The Merger — Governmental and Regulatory Approvals” beginning on page 57.
 
Tektronix may be unable to successfully integrate Inet’s operations and retain key Inet employees.

      The merger involves the integration of two companies that previously operated independently. Although the businesses of the two companies are complementary, the integration of the departments, systems, business units, operating procedures and information technologies of Tektronix and Inet will present a significant challenge to management. We do not assure you that Tektronix will be able to integrate and manage these operations effectively or maintain or improve the historical financial performances of Tektronix and Inet. The failure to successfully integrate these systems and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company.

      The difficulties of combining the companies’ operations include:

  •  the necessity of coordinating geographically separated organizations;
 
  •  integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds;
 
  •  integrating Inet’s technology and products;
 
  •  combining different corporate cultures;
 
  •  retaining key employees;
 
  •  maintaining customer satisfaction and current bid processes;
 
  •  maintaining product development schedules;
 
  •  coordinating sales and marketing activities; and
 
  •  preserving important distribution relationships.

      The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of the combined company’s businesses and the loss of key personnel. The integration of the two companies will require the experience and expertise of many of Inet’s key employees. We do not assure you, however, that Tektronix will be successful in retaining these employees for the time period necessary to successfully integrate Inet’s operations with those of Tektronix. Tektronix may need to reassign key employees to manage Inet’s operations, which could have a negative impact on Tektronix’s operations. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the merger and the integration of the two companies’ operations could have a material adverse effect on the business and results of operations of the combined company.

 
Tektronix may be unable to realize the expected cost savings and other synergies from the merger.

      Even if Tektronix is able to integrate the operations of Inet successfully, we do not assure you that this integration will result in the realization of the full benefits of the cost savings, synergies or revenue enhancements that Tektronix expects to result from this integration or that these benefits will be achieved within the timeframe that Tektronix expects. The cost savings and other synergies from the merger may be offset by costs incurred in integrating Inet’s operations, as well as by increases in other expenses, by operating losses or by problems with Tektronix’s or Inet’s businesses unrelated to the merger.

25


Table of Contents

 
Former Inet stockholders will have limited ability to influence Tektronix’s actions and decisions following the merger.

      Following the merger, former Inet stockholders will hold less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Tektronix common stock. As a result, former Inet stockholders will have only limited ability to influence Tektronix’s business. Former Inet stockholders will not have separate approval rights with respect to any actions or decisions of Tektronix or have separate representation on Tektronix’s board of directors.

Risks Related to the Combined Company

 
The pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/ prospectus is preliminary and the combined company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly and adversely from the pro forma amounts included in this proxy statement/ prospectus.

      Because of the proximity of this proxy statement/prospectus to the date of the announcement of the proposed merger, the process of valuing Inet’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, as well as evaluating Inet’s accounting policies for consistency with Tektronix’s accounting policies is still in the very preliminary stages. Material revisions to current estimates could be necessary as the valuation process and accounting policy review are finalized.

      The unaudited pro forma operating data contained in this proxy statement/prospectus is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have been achieved had the proposed merger been completed at the beginning of the period indicated or that may be achieved in the future. We provide no assurances as to how the operations and assets of both companies would have been run if they had been combined during the period indicated, or how they will be run in the future, which, together with other factors, could have a significant adverse effect on the results of operations and financial position of the combined company.

 
Tektronix competes in a highly cyclical market.

      Tektronix’s business depends on capital expenditures of manufacturers in a wide range of industries, including the telecommunications, semiconductor, and computer industries. Each of these industries has historically been very cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns, which have had a material adverse impact on the industries’ demand for equipment and services manufactured and marketed by Tektronix. In particular, the telecommunications industry, including but not limited to the optical segment, has experienced a more dramatic decline than other industries. In addition, the severity and length of the downturn may also affect overall access to capital, which could adversely affect Tektronix’s customers across many industries. During periods of reduced and declining demand, Tektronix may need to rapidly align its cost structure with prevailing market conditions while at the same time motivating and retaining key employees.

 
The industries Tektronix serves experience rapid changes in technology.

      Tektronix sells its products to customers that participate in rapidly changing high technology markets, which are characterized by short product life cycles. Tektronix’s ability to deliver a timely flow of competitive new products and market acceptance of those products, as well as the ability to increase production or to develop and maintain effective sales channels, is essential to growing the business. Because Tektronix sells test, measurement and diagnostic products that enable its customers to develop new technologies, Tektronix must accurately anticipate the ever-evolving needs of those customers and deliver appropriate products and technologies at competitive prices to meet customer demands. Tektronix’s ability to deliver those products could be affected by engineering or other development program delays as well as the availability of parts and supplies from third party providers on a timely basis and at reasonable prices. Failure to deliver competitive products in a timely manner and at a reasonable price could have an adverse effect on Tektronix’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

26


Table of Contents

 
Competition is intense, may intensify and could result in increased downward pricing pressure, reduced margins and the loss of market share.

      In general, Tektronix competes with a number of companies in specialized areas of other test and measurement products and one large broad line measurement products supplier, Agilent Technologies. Other competitors include Acterna Corporation, Anritsu, LeCroy Corporation, Spirent, Yokogawa and many other smaller companies. Competition in Tektronix’s business is based primarily on product performance, technology, customer service, product availability and price. Some of Tektronix’s competitors may have greater resources to apply to each of these factors and in some cases have built significant reputations with the customer base in each market in which Tektronix competes. Tektronix faces pricing pressures that may have an adverse impact on its earnings. If Tektronix is unable to compete effectively on these and other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. In addition, Tektronix enjoys a leadership position in certain core product categories, and continually develops and introduces new products designed to maintain that leadership, as well as to penetrate new markets. Failure to develop and introduce new products that maintain a leadership position or that fail to penetrate new markets may adversely affect operating results.

 
Tektronix obtains various key components from sole and limited source suppliers.

      Tektronix’s manufacturing operations are dependent on the ability of suppliers to deliver quality components, subassemblies and completed products in time to meet critical manufacturing and distribution schedules. Tektronix periodically experiences constrained supply of component parts in some product lines as a result of strong demand in the industry for those parts. Those constraints, if persistent, may adversely affect operating results until alternate sourcing can be developed. Volatility in the prices of these component parts, an inability to secure enough components at reasonable prices to build new products in a timely manner in the quantities and configurations demanded or, conversely, a temporary oversupply of these parts, could adversely affect Tektronix’s future operating results. In addition, Tektronix uses sole sourced components, which are integral to a variety of products. Disruption in key sole sourced suppliers could have a significant adverse effect on Tektronix’s results of operations.

 
A significant portion of Tektronix’s revenues have historically come from international customers, and, as a result, Tektronix’s business may be harmed by political and economic conditions in foreign markets and the challenges associated with operating internationally.

      Tektronix maintains operations in four major geographies: the Americas, including the United States and Other Americas, including Mexico, Canada and South America; Europe, including Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa; the Pacific, including China, India, Korea and Singapore; and Japan. During the last fiscal year, more than half of Tektronix’s revenues and Inet’s revenues were from international sales. In addition, some of Tektronix’s manufacturing operations and key suppliers are located in foreign countries, including China, where Tektronix expects to further expand its operations. As a result, the business is subject to the worldwide economic and market conditions risks generally associated with doing business globally, such as fluctuating exchange rates, the stability of international monetary conditions, tariff and trade policies, domestic and foreign tax policies, foreign governmental regulations, political unrest, wars and other acts of terrorism, epidemic disease or other health concerns and changes in other economic or political conditions. These factors, among others, could influence Tektronix’s ability to sell in global markets, as well as its ability to manufacture products or procure supplies. A significant downturn in the global economy or a particular region could adversely affect Tektronix’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 
Tektronix’s success depends on its ability to maintain and protect its intellectual property and the intellectual property licensed from others.

      As a technology-based company, Tektronix’s success depends on developing and protecting its intellectual property. Tektronix relies generally on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and abroad. Electronic equipment as complex as most of Tektronix’s products, however, is

27


Table of Contents

generally not patentable in its entirety. Tektronix also licenses intellectual property from third parties and relies on those parties to maintain and protect their technology. Tektronix cannot be certain that actions it takes to establish and protect proprietary rights will be adequate, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. If Tektronix is unable to adequately protect its technology, or if Tektronix is unable to continue to obtain or maintain licenses for protected technology from third parties, it could have a material adverse affect on Tektronix’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. From time to time in the usual course of business, Tektronix receives notices from third parties regarding intellectual property infringement or takes action against others with regard to intellectual property rights. Even where Tektronix is successful in defending or pursuing infringement claims, it may incur significant costs. In the event of a successful claim against Tektronix, it could lose its rights to needed technology or be required to pay license fees for the infringed rights, either of which could have an adverse impact on its business.
 
Tektronix is subject to environmental regulations.

      Tektronix is subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of its hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process. Tektronix closed a licensed hazardous waste management facility at its Beaverton, Oregon campus and entered into a consent order with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality requiring certain remediation actions. If Tektronix fails to comply with the consent order or any present or future regulations, it could be subject to future liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, environmental regulations could restrict its ability to expand its facilities or could require Tektronix to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations.

 
Tektronix’s stock price can be volatile.

      The price of Tektronix’s common stock may be subject to wide, rapid fluctuations. Those fluctuations may be due to factors specific to Tektronix, such as changes in operating results or changes in analysts’ estimates regarding earnings. Fluctuations in the stock price may also be due to factors relating to the telecommunications, semiconductor, and computer industries or to the securities markets in general. Fluctuations in the stock price have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stocks are traded. Shareholders should be willing to incur the risk of fluctuations in Tektronix’s stock price.

 
Sony/Tektronix Corporation Acquisition

      The acquisition by Tektronix of Sony Corporation’s 50% interest in Sony/ Tektronix Corporation was completed at the end of September 2002. Upon completion of the transaction, Tektronix’s ownership of Sony/ Tektronix increased from 50% to 100%, and Tektronix is now exposed to a greater financial impact from Sony/ Tektronix operations located in Japan. In addition, the operation of Sony/ Tektronix as a wholly owned business involves additional risks, including integration costs and operational risks following the acquisition and the risks of doing business as a foreign owner in Japan.

 
Discontinuation of Rohde and Schwarz Distribution Agreement

      Tektronix will no longer distribute Rohde and Schwarz’ products after June 1, 2004. Discontinuation of this distribution agreement will result in the loss of the associated revenue and gross profit. While Tektronix has implemented specific actions to offset the associated decrease in gross profit by reducing and redirecting certain costs, there is a risk that these targeted actions will not be achieved or that it may take longer to achieve these actions than originally anticipated or involve additional risks that were not foreseen by Tektronix.

28


Table of Contents

 
Tektronix faces other risk factors.

      Other risk factors include but are not limited to changes in the mix of products sold, regulatory and tax legislation, changes in effective tax rates, inventory risks due to changes in market demand or Tektronix’s business strategies, potential litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business, credit risk of customers, the fact that a substantial portion of Tektronix’s sales are generated from orders received during each quarter, risks associated with the implementation of new information systems, significant modifications to existing information systems, the susceptibility of assets in Tektronix’s pension plans to market risk and other risk factors.

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/ prospectus, including those relating to Tektronix’s and Inet’s strategies and other statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements include the information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of Tektronix and Inet as set forth under “Questions and Answers About the Merger,” “Summary,” “Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data,” “The Merger — Recommendation of the Inet Board; Reasons for the Merger,” “The Merger — Opinion of Morgan Stanley” and “The Merger — Tektronix’s Reasons for the Merger.” These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only Tektronix’s and Inet’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, which may include the risk factors set forth above and other market, credit or counterparty, liquidity, legal and operational uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this document and the documents which are incorporated herein by reference.

      Tektronix’s and Inet’s actual results and financial condition may differ, perhaps materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition in any forward-looking statements and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those statements.

      For more information concerning factors that could affect Tektronix’s and Inet’s future results and financial conditions, see “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in Tektronix’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Inet’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Inet’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference. Tektronix and Inet undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

General; Date; Time and Place

      This proxy statement/ prospectus is being provided by, and the enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of, Inet’s board of directors for use at a special meeting of Inet stockholders.

      The special meeting is scheduled to be held at 8:30 a.m., Central Time, on [                    ], [                    ], 2004, at our corporate headquarters located at 1500 North Greenville Avenue, Richardson, Texas.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

      The purposes of the special meeting are:

  •  to consider and vote upon the approval and adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 29, 2004, among Tektronix, Inc., Impala Merger Corp., Impala Acquisition Co. LLC and Inet Technologies, Inc., and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Impala Merger Corp. with and into Inet Technologies, Inc.;
 
  •  to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger agreement proposal; and
 
  •  to transact any other business that is properly brought before the special meeting.

Record Date; Voting Power

      Only holders of shares of Inet common stock as of the close of business on August 27, 2004, which is the record date for the special meeting, will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Each share of Inet common stock is entitled to one vote at the special meeting.

Required Vote; Voting Agreements; Quorum

      The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inet common stock as of the record date is required to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the merger. To approve the adjournment proposal, a majority of the votes cast, which only includes “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, must be in favor of the proposal. As of the record date, there were [                    ] shares of Inet common stock outstanding.

      Each of Messrs. Elie S. Akilian, Inet’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Samuel S. Simonian, Inet’s Chairman of the Board, are parties to a voting agreement, in which they agreed to vote their shares of Inet common stock at the special meeting in favor of the merger agreement and merger and against any competing proposal. As of the record date, these stockholders held 15,485,616 shares obligated to vote at the special meeting, which is approximately 39.1% of all shares entitled to vote at the special meeting. For a more detailed description of the voting agreement, see “The Merger — Voting Agreements.”

      Because the required vote of the stockholders with respect to the merger agreement is based upon the total number of outstanding shares of Inet common stock, the failure to submit a proxy card (or to vote in person at the special meeting) or the abstention from voting by a stockholder will have the same effect as a vote against approval and adoption of the merger agreement. For purposes of the adjournment proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast, and, therefore, generally have no effect on the outcome of that proposal. Brokers holding shares of Inet common stock as nominees will not have discretionary authority to vote shares in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owners thereof, so the failure to provide voting instructions to your broker will also have the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement.

31


Table of Contents

      The holders of a majority of the shares of the Inet common stock outstanding on the record date must be present, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting to constitute a quorum. In general, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present or represented at the special meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum for the special meeting.

      The obligation of Inet and Tektronix to complete the merger is subject to, among other things, the condition that the Inet stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement. If Inet’s stockholders fail to approve and adopt the merger agreement by December 31, 2004, Tektronix and Inet will each have the right to terminate the merger agreement. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination.”

How to Vote

      A stockholder may vote in person at the special meeting or by proxy without attending the special meeting. To vote by proxy, a stockholder must complete the enclosed proxy card, sign and date it and return it in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope.

      A proxy card is enclosed for use by Inet stockholders. The board of directors of Inet requests that stockholders sign and return the proxy card in the accompanying envelope. No postage is required if mailed within the United States. If you have questions about the merger, including procedures for voting your shares, you should contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., which is assisting Inet in the solicitation of proxies, as follows:

New York, NY 10005
Toll-free: 1-800-628-8536

Revocation of Proxy

      All properly executed proxies that are not revoked will be voted at the special meeting as instructed on those proxies. Proxies containing no instructions will be voted in favor of the merger agreement and the merger. A stockholder who executes and returns a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by either:

  •  giving written notice of revocation;
 
  •  executing and returning a new proxy bearing a later date; or
 
  •  attending the special meeting and voting in person.

      Revocation of a proxy by written notice or execution of a new proxy bearing a later date should be submitted to Mark H. Kleinman, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Inet Technologies, Inc., 1500 N. Greenville Avenue, Richardson, Texas 75081, or by attending the special meeting and voting in person.

Expenses of Solicitation

      Inet and Tektronix will each bear one-half of the costs of soliciting proxies from Inet’s stockholders, including the costs of printing and mailing this proxy statement/prospectus, and the costs of filing Tektronix’s registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, directors, officers and employees of Inet, without receiving additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile or in person. Arrangements may also be made with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by them, and Inet will reimburse those brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith. In addition, D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been retained by Inet to assist in the solicitation of proxies. D.F. King & Co., Inc. may contact holders of shares of Inet common stock by mail, telephone, facsimile, telegraph and personal interviews and may request brokers, dealers and other nominee stockholders to forward materials to beneficial owners of shares of Inet common stock. D.F. King & Co.,

Inc. will receive reasonable and customary compensation for its services (estimated at $30,000) and will be reimbursed for specified reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Proposal to Approve Adjournment of Special Meeting

      Inet is submitting a proposal for consideration at the special meeting to authorize the named proxies to approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger at the time of the special meeting. Even though a quorum may be present at the special meeting, it is possible that Inet may not have received sufficient votes to adopt and approve the merger agreement by the time of the special meeting. In that event, Inet would need to adjourn the special meeting in order to solicit additional proxies. The adjournment proposal relates only to an adjournment of the special meeting for purposes of soliciting additional proxies to obtain the requisite stockholder approval to adopt and approve the merger agreement. Any other adjournment of the special meeting (e.g., an adjournment required because of the absence of a quorum) would be voted upon pursuant to the discretionary authority granted by the proxy.

      To allow the proxies that have been received by Inet at the time of the special meeting to be voted for an adjournment, if necessary, Inet is submitting a proposal to approve one or more adjournments to Inet stockholders for their consideration. Under Inet’s bylaws, approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Inet common stock who cast “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes at the special meeting, even if a quorum is not present at the meeting. With respect to broker non-votes, we believe that brokers or other nominees who hold shares of Inet common stock in “street name” accounts do not have the discretionary authority to vote to approve any adjournment of the special meeting without appropriate instructions from the beneficial owner. If your shares are held in street name and you fail to instruct your broker on how to vote with respect to the adjournment proposal, those Inet stockholders who vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the adjournment proposal will decide whether to adopt that proposal and your shares will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. An abstention as to this proposal will have no effect on whether it is adopted.

      The Inet board recommends that Inet stockholders vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal so that proxies may be used for that purpose, should it become necessary. Properly executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the adjournment proposal, unless otherwise noted on the proxies. Under Delaware law and Inet’s bylaws, if Inet adjourns the special meeting to another time or place, it need not give notice of the adjourned meeting so long as, in connection with the adjournment, it announces the time and place of the adjourned meeting. If Inet fixes a new record date for the special meeting or if the adjournment is for more than 30 days, then Inet must provide stockholders of record on the applicable record date notice of the adjourned meeting.

      The Inet board retains full authority pursuant to Delaware law and Inet’s bylaws to adjourn the special meeting for any other purpose, including the absence of a quorum, or to postpone the special meeting before it is convened, without the consent of any Inet stockholder.

Miscellaneous

      Inet does not expect that any matter other than the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger and the adjournment proposal will be presented for action at the special meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the special meeting, the persons named in the proxies will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. The grant of a proxy will also confer discretionary authority on the persons named in the proxy as proxy appointees to vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to the conduct of the special meeting.

THE MERGER

General

      On June 29, 2004, Inet’s board of directors and Tektronix’s board of directors each approved the merger agreement, which provides for the acquisition by Tektronix of Inet through a merger of Impala Merger Corp., a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, with and into Inet, with Inet continuing as the surviving corporation. This merger will be immediately followed by the merger of the surviving corporation of the Impala Merger Corp./ Inet merger with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. After the second merger, Impala Acquisition Co. LLC will be the surviving entity and will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. Upon completion of the initial merger, each share of Inet common stock will be converted into the right to receive $6.25 in cash and a fraction of a share of Tektronix common stock equal to the “exchange ratio.” The exchange ratio is determined by reference to the “Tektronix average price,” which is the average of the closing sale prices per share of Tektronix common stock as reported on the NYSE consolidated transaction reporting system for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the closing date of the merger.

      Exchange Ratio. If the Tektronix average price is greater than or equal to $34.83, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $34.83, or 0.179. If the Tektronix average price is equal to or less than $28.50, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $28.50, or 0.219. If the Tektronix average price is greater than the $28.50 and less than $34.83, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $6.25 by the Tektronix average price.

      The following table shows the exchange ratio and the implied value of the merger consideration into which one share of Inet common stock would be converted in the merger at various hypothetical reference prices:

(3)  For illustrative purposes, the market value of the Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger is assumed to be equal to the Tektronix average price. The actual sales price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger may be greater or less than the Tektronix average price.

Table of Contents

      Stockholders will not receive any fractional shares of Tektronix common stock in the merger. Instead of any fractional shares, stockholders will be paid cash in lieu of their fractional shares based on the closing price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger.

      For example, if the Tektronix average price were $29.36, which was the closing price of Tektronix common stock on August 26, 2004, the exchange ratio would be 0.213 and an Inet stockholder owning 100 shares of Inet common stock would receive total consideration with an implied value at closing of $1,250.37, consisting of $625.00 in cash, 21 shares of Tektronix common stock, and $8.81 in cash instead of fractional shares. If the reference price were $34.94, which was the closing sale price for Tektronix common stock on June 29, 2004, the last trading day before the public announcement of the transaction, the exchange ratio would be 0.179 and a Inet stockholder owning 100 shares of Inet common stock would receive total consideration with an implied value at closing of $1,250.43, consisting of $625.00 in cash, 17 shares of Tektronix common stock, and $31.45 in cash instead of fractional shares. Each of these examples assumes that the Tektronix average price is the same as the closing sale price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger.

      Cash Top-up. If at the closing of the transaction, the Tektronix average price is less than $31.66 and greater than or equal to $28.50, Tektronix may elect, in its sole discretion, to increase the cash portion of the merger consideration and correspondingly reduce the exchange ratio. The additional cash to be received as merger consideration is referred to as the “additional cash amount.” Tektronix’s right to substitute additional cash in place of stock cannot be exercised if and to the extent it would result in a failure to meet the 45% Condition described below. Subject to the 45% Condition, the additional cash amount per share is calculated using the following formula:

A((6.25/A) - 0.197)

where A = the Tektronix average price.

      If the cash top-up is exercised, in all instances the exchange ratio will be 0.197.

      The following table shows the effect of the cash-top up on the cash and stock portions of the merger consideration before and after a cash top-up election is made.

  (1)  Adjusted to meet the 45% Condition.

      For illustrative purposes, the market value of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger is assumed to be equal to the Tektronix average price. The actual sales price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger may be greater or less than the Tektronix average price.

      Stock Top-up. Tektronix may have the ability to substitute additional Tektronix stock for cash depending on various circumstances that relate to the treatment of the merger for tax purposes. Treatment of the merger as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on, among other things, whether the value, as of the effective time of the merger, of the Tektronix common stock payable in respect of Inet common stock is sufficient to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirement contained in applicable tax regulations. Tax counsel has advised that, if the aggregate value of the Tektronix stock

36


Table of Contents

issued in the merger equals or exceeds 45% of the aggregate cash and stock consideration payable in respect of the Inet common stock (taking account of Inet stockholders exercising appraisal rights) and other conditions are satisfied, the continuity of interest requirement will be met. Under the merger agreement, specified consequences follow depending on whether or not the value of Tektronix common stock at the effective time of the merger and payable in the merger equals or exceeds 45% of the aggregate cash and stock consideration payable in respect of the Inet common stock (taking into account amounts paid to holders exercising appraisal rights under Delaware law), referred to as the “45% Condition.” For a discussion of the tax consequences to a holder of Inet common stock, see “Risk Factors” and “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

      Tektronix will advise Inet at least two business days before the closing date whether it is willing to substitute additional shares of Tektronix common stock for cash (with that substitution to be based on the Tektronix common stock closing date share price), if necessary, to meet the 45% Condition.

      If the value of the shares of Tektronix common stock payable in respect of the Inet common stock does not meet the 45% Condition and Tektronix has declined to substitute shares of Tektronix common stock for cash, then Inet has the option to either:

  •  proceed with the merger even though the 45% Condition is not satisfied and, consequently, the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law; or
 
  •  terminate the merger agreement.

      If the value of the shares of Tektronix common stock payable in respect of the Inet common stock does not meet the 45% Condition and Tektronix has offered to substitute shares of Tektronix common stock for cash, then Inet has the option to either:

  •  reject Tektronix’s offer to substitute shares and proceed with the merger even though the 45% Condition is not satisfied, and, consequently, the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law; or
 
  •  accept the substitution of Tektronix common stock for cash and avoid the enhanced risk to its stockholders that the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law.

      It is not possible to know until shortly before the closing which elections Tektronix and Inet will make with respect to either the cash top-up or stock top-up or whether the closing price of Tektronix common stock will permit satisfaction of the 45% Condition. At this time, neither Inet nor Tektronix can predict which elections they would make if the 45% Condition is not satisfied.

      The merger agreement does not require, and Inet would not expect to seek, further approval from its stockholders before electing to proceed with (or terminate) the merger at a time and under the conditions that will or could result in increased risk to Inet stockholders that the exchange of Inet common stock in the merger will be fully taxable. Therefore, adoption of the merger agreement by Inet’s stockholders will give Inet the ability to take steps, such as rejecting an increase in the stock portion of the merger consideration, or waiving its tax opinion condition to closing, that will or could result in the merger being fully taxable to Inet stockholders, or, in specified situations, terminate the transaction, without any further action by, or further solicitation of, the Inet stockholders.

Background of the Merger

      Tektronix and Inet have continually evaluated alternative strategies and approaches to improving their competitive positions, operating performance and value to their respective shareholders and stockholders. This evaluation has included the analysis of combining with another company in a merger, acquiring other companies or assets in their competitive markets to increase size and scale, and other significant transactions. As part of that general evaluations, during the period from April 2003 until July 2003, representatives of Tektronix and Inet engaged in discussions regarding the potential acquisition of Inet by

37


Table of Contents

Tektronix. Tektronix never submitted a definitive proposal for the purchase of Inet and talks between the companies terminated on July 1, 2003 when Tektronix was unable to submit a range of prices at which Inet was interested in proceeding with a potential transaction. The companies had no further discussions until May 21, 2004.

      On May 20, 2004, senior executives of Tektronix, including Richard H. Wills, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tektronix, and James F. Dalton, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Tektronix, met with some members of the Tektronix board of directors, representatives of Goldman Sachs & Co., Tektronix’s financial advisor, and representatives of Stoel Rives LLP, Tektronix’s legal advisor, about pursuing a potential acquisition of Inet.

      On May 21, 2004, Mr. Wills called Elie S. Akilian, Inet’s President and Chief Executive Officer, regarding Inet’s interest in a possible acquisition of Inet by Tektronix. During this call, Mr. Wills indicated the range of prices Tektronix would be willing to pay for Inet common stock. Mr. Akilian advised Mr. Wills that he required a more definite indication of price before addressing a potential transaction with the board of directors of Inet.

      On May 28, 2004, Mr. Wills called Mr. Akilian with a more definite indication of the price Tektronix would consider in connection with an acquisition of Inet. At this point, Mr. Akilian contacted Inet’s independent directors regarding Tektronix’s interest in a potential transaction. The independent directors instructed Mr. Akilian to continue discussions with Mr. Wills and to further develop the proposed terms of a potential transaction.

      On June 2 and 3, 2004, Messrs. Wills and Akilian engaged in a series of calls regarding pricing terms and the logistics of reaching an agreement regarding a transaction by the end of June.

      On June 3, 2004, Mr. Wills delivered an indication of interest letter and related term sheet to Mr. Akilian. Tektronix’s initial proposal contemplated a cash and stock transaction, a fixed exchange ratio and the merger of Inet into Impala Merger Corp.

      On June 4, 2004, Edward J. Roney, Director of Corporate Development for Tektronix, contacted Mark H. Kleinman, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Inet, regarding scheduling a meeting of the senior management of each of Tektronix and Inet.

      Later on June 4, 2004, Messrs. Dalton and Roney contacted Mr. Kleinman regarding additional matters related to the upcoming management meeting.

      On June 5, 2004, Mr. Wills contacted Mr. Akilian to address any questions regarding Tektronix’s interest in acquiring Inet before Mr. Akilian addressed Inet’s board of directors at its meeting to discuss the potential transaction.

      Later on June 5, 2004, the Inet board of directors met to discuss the indication of interest and the retention of legal and financial advisors. The board authorized Inet management to continue exploring a possible transaction with Tektronix and to make arrangements to retain legal and financial advisors.

      On June 7, 2004, Inet and Tektronix executed a mutual confidentiality agreement in preparation for due diligence. On the same date, Messrs. Dalton and Kleinman and Jeffrey A. Kupp, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Inet, participated in a conference call regarding a schedule for due diligence.

      On June 8, 2004, Messrs. Kleinman, Kupp and Roney, David Naemura, Accounting and Finance Manager for Tektronix, and representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP, Tektronix’s independent accountants, and Goldman Sachs, participated in a teleconference to discuss initial diligence matters with respect to Inet’s financial statements.

      On June 9, 2004, the board of directors of Inet, members of management and members of Inet’s legal and financial advisors (Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Morgan Stanley, respectively) met to discuss the indication of interest, the retention of Morgan Stanley and the management meetings that were to take place on June 10, 2004. At the meeting, the Inet board of directors approved the retention of Morgan Stanley as Inet’s financial advisor. Morgan Stanley then reviewed for the Inet board of directors, among

38


Table of Contents

other matters, preliminary financial analyses with respect to the proposed merger consideration. Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP reviewed the fiduciary duties that would apply to the Inet board of directors when it would be asked to consider the proposed transaction. The Inet board of directors posed questions to management and its financial and legal advisors and discussed, among other matters, the benefits and risks of the proposed transaction. The board then directed management and Inet’s legal and financial advisors to continue discussions with Tektronix.

      On June 10, 2004, members of senior management of Inet and Tektronix and representatives of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley met in Dallas, Texas. At the meeting, Inet senior management made presentations to Tektronix representatives regarding Inet’s business and operations.

      The Inet board of directors met later on June 10, 2004 to discuss the results of the management meetings and consider Tektronix’s indication of interest. At the meeting, the Inet board of directors considered the terms of the indication of interest and instructed Mr. Akilian to discuss the proposed price with Mr. Wills.

      On June 11, 2004, Mr. Akilian called Mr. Wills to discuss the proposed price in the indication of interest.

      On June 13, 2004, the Inet board of directors met with representatives of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Morgan Stanley to discuss the status of the potential transaction. The Inet board of directors posed questions to management and its financial and legal advisors and discussed, among other matters, pricing and transaction structure. The board then directed management and Inet’s legal and financial advisors to continue discussions with Tektronix.

      From June 12 to June 15, 2004, Messrs. Akilian and Wills and the parties’ respective financial advisors engaged in several discussions regarding their views on price and structure. In the context of these discussions, Inet indicated that it favored an exchange ratio that varied so that Tektronix would issue the number of shares necessary to deliver a specified fixed value at closing.

      On June 15, 2004, the parties agreed to proceed on the basis of a price for Inet common stock of $12.50 and a 10% collar on fluctuations in the price of Tektronix common stock. This arrangement was designed to provide Inet stockholders with a fixed value within a certain trading range for Tektronix common stock while, at the low end of the collar, providing Tektronix with a fixed limit on the number of shares of Tektronix common stock to be issued in the merger. The parties understood that any tentative understandings with regard to the potential terms of a transaction were subject to due diligence, resolution of a number of material issues, negotiation of definitive documents and board approvals.

      On June 16, 2004, Mr. Dalton gave Mr. Kleinman an indication of Tektronix’s financial performance for its fourth fiscal quarter. Initial drafts of the merger agreement and ancillary agreements were circulated to Inet and its advisors.

      On June 17 and 18, 2004, representatives of Tektronix and Stoel Rives LLP, counsel to Tektronix, conducted due diligence on Inet at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Dallas, Texas.

      On June 19, 2004, Mr. Dalton and David S. Churchill, Vice President and General Manager of Tektronix’s Communications and Video division, met with Mr. Akilian in Dallas, Texas at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP to discuss matters related to the business, operations and personnel of Inet.

      Also on June 19, 2004, Inet and its counsel submitted their comments to the merger agreement and ancillary agreements to Tektronix and its counsel.

      On June 20, 2004, Messrs. Kleinman and Dalton met at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Dallas, Texas to discuss material open issues in the transaction documents.

      On June 21 and 22, 2004, representatives of Inet, Tektronix and their respective legal and financial advisors met at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Dallas, Texas to negotiate the merger agreement and ancillary agreements. At these meetings, the parties addressed, among other things, the effect of a decline in the price of Tektronix common stock to be issued in the merger on the

39


Table of Contents

“reorganization” status of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Tektronix indicated that it was willing to proceed with the transaction whether or not it was fully taxable to Inet’s stockholders, while Inet maintained that preserving the option of requiring “reorganization” status of the transaction was important to its stockholders. Following additional discussions, the parties agreed to the stock top-up procedures described in “The Merger — General — Stock Top-up” as a means of preserving the option of the “reorganization” status of the transaction.

      Mr. Dalton met with Mr. Kleinman on the morning of June 22, 2004 at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Dallas, Texas regarding the specifics of Tektronix’s financial performance in its fourth fiscal quarter. That afternoon, Mr. Dalton spoke with representatives of Morgan Stanley by telephone regarding the same matters.

      During the week following the June 21 and 22, 2004 meetings, representatives of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Stoel Rives LLP continued to negotiate the terms of the merger agreement and the ancillary agreements. In these discussions, it was determined that the transaction structure would shift from a merger of Inet into Impala Merger Corp. to the two merger structure contemplated by the executed merger agreement.

      On June 23, 2004, Mr. Dalton and representatives of Goldman Sachs and Stoel Rives LLP provided the Tektronix board of directors with an update regarding the status of negotiations. The Tektronix board of directors authorized Tektronix’s management and advisors to continue negotiating the remaining terms of the merger agreement with the goal of presenting a final agreement for approval by the Tektronix board of directors on June 28, 2004.

      On June 25, 2004, Inet senior management, Tektronix senior management and their respective financial and legal advisors participated in a conference call regarding Tektronix’s financial performance and other diligence matters. Messrs. Akilian and Wills separately participated in a call to discuss remaining material issues, including severance for Inet employees displaced by the merger and the willingness of Messrs. Akilian and Simonian to enter into the noncompete agreements. Similarly, Messrs. Kleinman and Dalton participated in a call to discuss the open issues in the merger agreement and the ancillary agreements.

      On June 26, 27 and 28, 2004, members of Inet and Tektronix senior management and their respective financial and legal advisors participated in discussions regarding the remaining open issues.

      On June 28, 2004, Tektronix’s board of directors met with its financial and legal advisors to consider the merger agreement and the ancillary agreements. Representatives of Stoel Rives LLP and Mr. Dalton reviewed the terms of the merger agreement and the ancillary agreements for the board and noted outstanding issues related to the noncompete agreements, severance arrangements and the termination fee. Representatives of Goldman Sachs provided a summary regarding the outcome of calls with some of Inet’s customers and reviewed their financial analyses with respect to the proposed merger consideration. After further discussion and review of the proposed press release announcing the transaction, the Tektronix board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement, the ancillary agreements and the transactions contemplated by those agreements, subject to the satisfactory resolution of open matters related to the noncompete agreements, severance arrangements and the termination fee.

      On June 29, 2004, Inet’s board of directors met with its legal and financial advisors at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Dallas, Texas to consider the merger agreement and the ancillary agreements. Representatives of Morgan Stanley reviewed their financial analyses with respect to the proposed merger consideration. Representatives of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP reviewed with the board of directors its fiduciary duties in connection with the approval of the proposed transaction and the final terms of the merger agreement and ancillary agreements, including a summary of the structure of the transaction, pricing terms, representations, covenants, conditions, termination rights and termination fees. After this discussion, it was noted that Inet and Tektronix were not in agreement on the terms of the noncompete agreements, severance arrangements or the termination fee. Inet’s board of directors adjourned the meeting while Mr. Akilian, James R. Adams (an independent director of Inet) and outside counsel

40


Table of Contents

participated in a telephone conference with Messrs. Wills and Dalton and Gerry B. Cameron (an independent director of Tektronix) regarding these final matters. During this call, the final terms were negotiated.

      The Inet board of directors meeting reconvened. Following a discussion of the outcome of the teleconference regarding final negotiations on the open matters, the board agreed that the final terms were acceptable. At this time, Morgan Stanley delivered its oral opinion as of the date of the meeting, subsequently confirmed in writing on that date, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement to the holders of Inet common stock. After further discussion, the Inet board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement, the ancillary agreements and the transactions contemplated by those agreements.

      The parties executed the merger agreement and ancillary agreements at the close of business on June 29, 2004 and publicly announced the transaction after the close of trading on the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Recommendation of the Inet Board; Reasons for the Merger

      The Inet board of directors has approved the merger agreement, has determined that the merger agreement and the merger are advisable to the holders of Inet common stock, and recommends that Inet stockholders vote “FOR” approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the merger.

      In reaching its determination to recommend approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the merger, the Inet board of directors consulted with management, as well as Morgan Stanley, Inet’s financial advisor, and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, Inet’s outside legal counsel, and considered various material factors, which are listed below. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with the merger, the board of directors did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific material factors it considered in reaching its decision.

      (a) Historical and Recent Market Prices Compared to Consideration to be Received by Holders of Common Stock. The Inet board of directors reviewed the historical market prices and trading information with respect to the Inet common stock, and considered that the implied merger consideration of $12.50 per share (based on the closing price of Tektronix common stock on June 28, 2004) represented a premium of approximately:

  •  15% over the closing price of Inet common stock on June 28, 2004, the last trading day before the Inet Board of directors meeting to approve the transaction;
 
  •  30% over the average closing price of Inet common stock for the 30 previous trading days ending on June 28, 2004; and
 
  •  14% over the average closing price of Inet common stock for the 90 previous trading days ending on June 28, 2004.

      (b) Inet’s Business, Condition and Prospects. The Inet board of directors considered information with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Inet, on both a historical and prospective basis, and current industry, economic and market conditions. In particular, the board of directors considered Inet’s growth opportunities as an independent company compared with the growth opportunities available as part of a company such as Tektronix with significantly greater financial resources.

      (c) Tektronix’s Business, Condition and Prospects. The Inet board of directors considered information with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Tektronix, including the due diligence review by Inet’s management and financial and legal advisors regarding Tektronix’s financial condition and prospects. In particular, Inet considered Tektronix’s sound business reputation and strong operating results over recent years.

      (d) Increased Liquidity and Significant Cash Consideration for Inet Common Stock. The Inet board of directors considered the increased liquidity offered by the merger to Inet’s stockholders with respect to the Tektronix common stock they would receive in the merger. The board of directors believed that the merger offered Inet’s stockholders the opportunity to own stock of a significantly larger and more actively traded business enterprise and that Inet’s stockholders would have the opportunity to participate in the potential growth of the combined company after the closing of the merger. In addition, the board of directors considered that Inet stockholders would benefit from the merger by receiving significant cash consideration for their Inet common stock.

      (e) Protection Against Tektronix Common Stock Price Decline; Reorganization Tax Treatment. Although the Inet board of directors noted that the price of Tektronix common stock has fluctuated in the past and that the value of the consideration to be received by Inet’s stockholders could decline if the price of Tektronix common stock declines, the board of directors considered that provisions of the merger agreement mitigate this risk by protecting the value of the consideration to be received by Inet’s stockholders at the closing of the merger within agreed ranges of trading prices of Tektronix common stock. In addition, the Inet board of directors considered the value to its stockholders of the ability to preserve the nature of the transaction as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes through the stock top-up election mechanics and related termination right.

      (f) Opinion of Morgan Stanley. The Inet board of directors considered the opinion delivered orally on June 29, 2004, and subsequently confirmed in writing on that date, of Morgan Stanley, Inet’s financial advisor, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the matters stated in the opinion, the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Inet common stock. The board of directors also considered the financial analyses performed by Morgan Stanley in connection with its opinion. See “The Merger — Opinion of Morgan Stanley.”

      (g) Terms of the Merger. The Inet board of directors considered the terms and provisions of the merger agreement and related agreements, including the provision of the merger agreement permitting the Inet board of directors to receive unsolicited inquiries and proposals from, and, in specified circumstances, negotiate and give information to, third parties. The board of directors further considered that the maximum aggregate termination fee that could be realized by Tektronix pursuant to the merger agreement was $16.2 million. Based on the advice of its legal and financial advisors, the board of directors concluded that this termination fee was within the range of fees payable in comparable transactions, that it would not in and of itself preclude alternative proposals and that the protection it afforded Tektronix encouraged Tektronix to submit its best possible offer. Inet’s legal and financial advisors advised the board of directors that there had been extensive negotiations with Tektronix over both the amount of the fee and the circumstances under which the fee became payable. The board of directors further considered that Tektronix had stated that it would not enter into a transaction that did not include the termination fee.

      (h) The Likelihood of Completion of the Merger. The Inet board of directors considered the likelihood of completion of the merger, including the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and the conditions to the completion of the merger.

      (i) Impact on Customers and Employees. The Inet board of directors considered the impact of the merger on Inet’s customers and employees, including the compatibility of the firms’ cultures.

      (j) Integration of Inet into Tektronix. The Inet board of directors considered that, while the strengths of the two firms were complementary and afforded potential growth opportunities to the combined company, there was relatively little overlap between the two firms, which should make integrating their businesses easier.

42


Table of Contents

      The Inet board of directors also considered potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the merger, including, without limitation, the following:

      (a) The possibility that the merger would not be completed following the execution of the merger agreement and the risks to the business of Inet if that were to occur, including the potential loss of customers and/or employees;

      (b) The possible disruption of Inet’s business pending completion of the merger, including the risk of losing customers and key employees;

      (c) The risk of whether the potential benefits sought in the merger will be fully realized and the risks associated with the integration by Tektronix of Inet; and

      (d) The risks associated with a decline in the price of Tektronix common stock before the completion of the merger, causing the value of the consideration to be received by Inet’s stockholders to decline.

      The Inet board of directors concluded that the benefits of the transaction to Inet and its stockholders outweighed the risks associated with the foregoing factors.

Opinion of Morgan Stanley

      Inet retained Morgan Stanley to provide it with financial advisory services and a financial opinion in connection with a possible merger, sale or other strategic business combination. Inet’s board of directors selected Morgan Stanley to act as its financial advisor based on Morgan Stanley’s qualifications, expertise and reputation and its knowledge of the business and affairs of Inet. At the meeting of the Inet board of directors on June 29, 2004, Morgan Stanley rendered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of June 29, 2004, based upon and subject to the various considerations set forth in the opinion, the consideration per share consisting of approximately (i) $6.25 in cash; (ii) a number of Tektronix shares ranging from .179 to .219; and (iii) if applicable and at Tektronix’s election, a certain amount of cash in substitution for Tektronix common stock in the event that the value of Tektronix common stock is within a range specified in the merger agreement (collectively (i), (ii), and (iii) are referred to as the “merger consideration”) was fair from a financial point of view to holders of shares of Inet common stock.

      The full text of the written opinion of Morgan Stanley, dated as of June 29, 2004, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by Morgan Stanley in rendering its opinion. We encourage you to read the entire opinion carefully. Morgan Stanley’s opinion is directed to Inet’s board of directors and addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view of the merger consideration to holders of shares of Inet common stock as of the date of the opinion. It does not address any other aspects of the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Inet common stock as to how to vote at the Inet special meeting. The summary of the opinion of Morgan Stanley set forth in this document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

      In connection with rendering its opinion, Morgan Stanley, among other things:

With respect to the financial forecasts and the strategic rationale for the merger, including information relating to strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the merger, Morgan Stanley assumed they were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the future financial performance of Inet and Tektronix. In addition, Morgan Stanley assumed that the merger will be completed in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement, including, among other things, that the merger will be treated as a tax-free reorganization, pursuant to the Code. Morgan Stanley assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary regulatory and other approvals and consents for the proposed merger, no restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed merger.

      Morgan Stanley did not make any assumptions with respect to the retention of Inet employees by Tektronix. Morgan Stanley also relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment by the Management of Tektronix and Inet of Tektronix’s and Inet’s technologies and products, the timing and risks associated with the integration of Tektronix and Inet and the validity of, and risks associated with, Tektronix’s and Inet’s existing and future products and technologies. Morgan Stanley did not make any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Inet or Tektronix, nor was Morgan Stanley furnished with any such appraisals. Morgan Stanley’s opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of its opinion.

      In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley was not authorized to solicit, and did not solicit, interest from any party with respect to an acquisition, business combination or other extraordinary transaction, involving Inet.

      The following is a brief summary of the material analyses performed by Morgan Stanley in connection with its oral opinion and the preparation of its written opinion letter dated June 29, 2004. The various analyses summarized below were based on closing prices for common stock of Tektronix and Inet as of June 28, 2004, the last full trading day preceding the day of the meeting of Inet’s board of directors to consider and approve the merger with Tektronix. Some of these summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses used by

Table of Contents

Morgan Stanley, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.

      On June 29, 2004, Inet and Tektronix entered into a merger agreement whereby each holder of Inet common stock would be entitled to receive consideration per share consisting of approximately (i) $6.25 in cash; (ii) a number of Tektronix shares ranging from .179 to .219; and (iii) if applicable and at Tektronix’s election, a certain amount of cash in substitution for Tektronix common stock in the event that the value of Tektronix common stock is within a range specified in the merger agreement. Based on the closing prices of Inet and Tektronix common stock as of June 28, 2004, and the formulas set forth in the merger agreement, the merger consideration was $12.50 per share of Inet common stock and Inet’s stockholders would own approximately 8.4% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

 
Inet Technologies, Inc.

      Trading Range Analysis. Morgan Stanley reviewed the range of closing prices of Inet common stock for various periods ending on June 28, 2004. Morgan Stanley observed the following:

      Comparable Company Analysis. Morgan Stanley compared certain financial information of Inet with publicly available consensus earnings estimates for other companies that shared similar business characteristics to Inet. The companies used in this comparison included the following test and measurement companies and network management/services companies:

 
Test and Measurement Companies:

  •  Ixia Inc.
 
  •  Catapult Communications Corp.
 
  •  Tekelec
 
  •  Tektronix Inc.
 
  •  Agilent Technologies Inc.
 
  •  Spirent PLC

 
Network Management/ Services Companies:

  •  Opnet Technologies Inc.
 
  •  Micromuse Inc.
 
  •  Visual Networks Inc.
 
  •  Concord Communications Inc.
 
  •  MetaSolv Inc.

      For purposes of this analysis, Morgan Stanley analyzed the following statistics of each of these companies for comparison purposes:

  •  the ratio of aggregate value, defined as market capitalization plus total debt less cash and cash equivalents, to estimated calendar year 2004 revenues (based on publicly available estimates);
 
  •  the ratio of price to estimated earnings for calendar year 2004 (based on publicly available estimates); and

45


Table of Contents

  •  the ratio of price to estimated earnings for calendar year 2005 (based on publicly available estimates).

      Based on the analysis of the relevant metrics for each of the comparable companies, Morgan Stanley selected a representative range of financial multiples of the comparable companies and applied this range of multiples to the relevant Inet financial statistic. For purposes of estimated calendar year 2004 revenues and calendar year 2004 and 2005 earnings, Morgan Stanley calculated a range of estimates by utilizing publicly available equity research estimates. Based on Inet’s current outstanding shares and options, Morgan Stanley estimated the implied value per Inet share as of June 28, 2004 as follows:

                         
Comparable Implied Value
Inet Financial Company Multiple Per Share for
Calendar Year Financial Statistic Statistic Range Inet




Aggregate Value to Estimated 2004 Revenues
  $ 117,000,000       1.5x -   3.0x     $ 8.81 - $13.13  
Price to Estimated 2004 Earnings
  $ 0.38       20.0x - 35.0x     $ 7.64 - $13.38  
Price to Estimated 2005 Earnings
  $ 0.46       20.0x - 27.5x     $ 9.19 - $12.64  

      No company utilized in the comparable company analysis is identical to Inet. In evaluating comparable companies, Morgan Stanley made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Inet and Tektronix, such as the impact of competition on the businesses of Inet and Tektronix and the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition and prospects of Inet and Tektronix or the industry or in the financial markets in general. Mathematical analysis (such as determining the average or median) is not in itself a meaningful method of using peer group data.

      Discounted Equity Value Analysis. Morgan Stanley calculated a range of present equity values per share for Inet on a standalone basis. To calculate the discounted equity value, Morgan Stanley used the calendar year 2005 publicly available industry analyst estimated revenues, and applied a range of projected annual growth rates of 7% to 16%, a range of projected operating margins of 17% to 23%, and a tax rate of 30% to derive a range of calendar year 2006 earnings estimates. Morgan Stanley applied a range of price to earnings multiples to these estimates and applied a discount rate of 12% to these ranges.

      The following table summarizes Morgan Stanley’s analysis:

  $ 0.64 - $0.67       20 - 30x       $11.46 - $17.90  

      Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Morgan Stanley calculated a range of equity values per share for Inet based on a discounted cash flow analysis using three scenarios. For the three scenarios, Morgan Stanley relied on financial projections provided by publicly available equity research estimates for calendar years 2004 through 2005 and extrapolations from those projections for calendar years 2006 through 2009. In arriving at the estimated equity values per share of Inet common stock, Morgan Stanley calculated a terminal value as of July 1, 2009 by applying a range of perpetual growth rates ranging from 4% to 6%. The unlevered free cash flows from calendar year 2004 through 2009 and the terminal value were then discounted to present values using a range of discount rates of 11% to 15%. Morgan Stanley assumed Inet’s net cash balance to be approximately $172.2 million as of March 31, 2004.

    $431 - $728       $10.86 - $18.03  

      Morgan Stanley noted that Inet management believed the Upside Case would be dependent upon achievement of growth through acquisition of additional businesses.

      Securities Research Analysts’ Price Targets. Morgan Stanley reviewed and analyzed future public market trading price targets for Inet common stock prepared and published by equity research analysts. These targets reflect each analyst’s estimate of the future public market trading price of Inet common stock. The range of equity analyst price targets for Inet was $18.00 to $21.00.

      The public market trading price targets published by the securities research analysts do not necessarily reflect current market trading prices for Inet common stock and these estimates are subject to uncertainties, including the future financial performance of Inet and future financial market conditions.

      Exchange Ratio and Price Premium Analyses. Morgan Stanley reviewed the ratios of the closing prices of Inet common stock divided by the corresponding closing prices of Tektronix common stock over various periods ending June 28, 2004. For each of the periods reviewed, Morgan Stanley noted the relevant low and high exchange ratios. Based on the closing price per share of $33.80 of Tektronix common stock as of June 28, 2004, Morgan Stanley calculated a range of implied values per share for Inet.

      The following table summarizes Morgan Stanley’s analysis:

      Morgan Stanley also analyzed the implied exchange ratio premia relative to various historical average exchange ratios between Inet and Tektronix taking into account the range of stock consideration to be received by Inet shareholders (0.179x to 0.219x). For purposes of this analysis, Morgan Stanley calculated an implied all-stock exchange ratio by converting the cash portion of the merger consideration into an appropriate number of shares of Tektronix based on the prices analyzed.

respective percentage contribution (and the implied ownership based on such contribution) to the combined company using revenues, gross profit, operating income and net income based on publicly available equity research analysts’ estimates for calendar year 2004 and calendar year 2005. Based on Inet’s respective implied ownership and based on the closing price per share of $33.80 of Tektronix common stock as of June 28, 2004, Morgan Stanley calculated an implied equity value per share for Inet based on the closing price per share of $33.80 of Tektronix common stock as of June 28, 2004.

      Analysis of Precedent Transactions. Morgan Stanley compared the premia paid in 91 selected technology sector transactions in which the target company was publicly traded, transaction values were greater than $100 million and consideration was paid in all forms (“All Technology”); Morgan Stanley also compared the premia paid in 21 selected technology sector transactions in which the target company was publicly traded, the transaction values were greater than $100 million and the consideration was a mix of cash and stock (“Mixed Consideration”); Morgan Stanley also compared the premia paid in 24 selected technology sector transactions in which the target company was publicly traded, the transaction values were greater than $100 million and the consideration was only stock (“All Stock”).

      No company or transaction utilized in the precedent transaction analysis of stock price premiums paid is identical to Inet or Tektronix or the merger. In evaluating the precedent transactions, Morgan Stanley made judgments and assumptions with regard to general business, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of Inet and Tektronix, such as the impact of competition on the business of Inet, Tektronix, or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition of Inet, Tektronix or the industry or in the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies and the aggregate value of the transactions to which they are being compared.

  •  Ixia Inc.
 
  •  Catapult Communications Corp.
 
  •  Tekelec
 
  •  Agilent Technologies Inc.

      Securities Research Analysts’ Price Targets. Morgan Stanley reviewed and analyzed future public market trading price targets for Tektronix common stock prepared and published by equity research analysts. These targets reflect each analyst’s estimate of the future public market trading price of Tektronix common stock. The range of analyst price targets for Tektronix was $28.00 to $42.00.

      Morgan Stanley noted that the public market trading price targets published by the securities research analysts do not necessarily reflect current market trading prices for Tektronix common stock and these estimates are subject to uncertainties, including the future financial performance of Tektronix and future financial market conditions.

      In connection with the review of the merger by Inet’s board of directors, Morgan Stanley performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor it considered. Morgan Stanley believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses as a whole, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. In addition, Morgan Stanley may have given various analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Morgan Stanley’s view of the actual value of Inet or Tektronix. In performing its analyses, Morgan Stanley made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters. Many of these assumptions are beyond the control of Inet or Tektronix. Any estimates contained in Morgan Stanley’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates.

      Morgan Stanley conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its analysis of the fairness of the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement from a financial point of view to holders of shares of Inet common stock and in connection with the delivery of its opinion to Inet’s board of directors. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which shares of common stock of Inet or Tektronix might actually trade.

      The merger consideration was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between Inet and Tektronix and was approved by Inet’s board of directors. Morgan Stanley provided advice to Inet during these negotiations. Morgan Stanley did not, however, recommend any specific consideration to Inet or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the merger.

      In addition, Morgan Stanley’s opinion and its presentation to Inet’s board of directors was one of many factors taken into consideration by Inet’s board of directors in deciding to approve the merger. Consequently, the analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of

50

Inet’s board of directors with respect to the exchange ratio or of whether Inet’s board of directors would have been willing to agree to a different exchange ratio.

      Inet’s board of directors retained Morgan Stanley based upon Morgan Stanley’s qualifications, experience and expertise. Morgan Stanley is an internationally recognized investment banking and advisory firm. Morgan Stanley, as part of its investment banking and financial advisory business, is continuously engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate, estate and other purposes. In the ordinary course of Morgan Stanley’s trading and brokerage activities, Morgan Stanley or its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for its own account or for the account of customers, in the equity and other securities of Inet, Tektronix or any other parties involved in the merger. In addition, from time to time Morgan Stanley has entered and may enter into agreements to purchase equipment, software and/or services from Inet and Tektronix in connection with Morgan Stanley’s business.

      Under the terms of its engagement letter, Morgan Stanley provided Inet financial advisory services and a financial opinion in connection with the merger, and Inet agreed to pay Morgan Stanley a fee of approximately $5.1 million based on Inet and Tektronix prices as of June 28, 2004, a substantial portion of which is payable upon completion of the merger. Inet has also agreed to reimburse Morgan Stanley for its expenses incurred in performing its services. In addition, Inet has agreed to indemnify Morgan Stanley and its affiliates, their respective directors, officers, agents and employees and each person, if any, controlling Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws, related to or arising out of Morgan Stanley’s engagement. In the past, Morgan Stanley and its affiliates have provided financial advisory and financing services for Inet and have received fees in connection with such services.

Tektronix’s Reasons for the Merger

      Tektronix’s board of directors, in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, consulted with management and its legal and financial advisors and considered the following factors:

  •  The strategic nature of the transaction, which combines Tektronix’s and Inet’s complementary telecommunications businesses and adds scale and scope to Tektronix’s monitoring business to position Tektronix as a market leader in network monitoring and protocol analysis.
 
  •  The complementary nature of the business combination, including Tektronix’s current telecommunications industry strengths in diagnostics, protocols and probes and Inet’s current strengths in monitoring and user interface products.
 
  •  The ability of the combined company, with its coordinated solutions across the design-deployment-operational life cycle, to deepen customer relationships and compete for new customers.
 
  •  The board’s belief that the combination with Inet will accelerate Tektronix’s ability to compete in the mobile data and voice over IP markets.
 
  •  The board’s belief that the Inet engineering team adds significant new intellectual capital to Tektronix’s current team, in complementary disciplines.
 
  •  The synergistic potential of the combination, including cost savings through increased research and development productivity, reduced general and administrative expenses, and distribution synergies.
 
  •  The board’s belief that the long-term earnings of the combined company would be more favorable than that which Tektronix could achieve on a stand-alone basis.
 
  •  The terms and conditions of the merger agreement and the agreements contemplated by the merger agreement, including the form and amount of the consideration and the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions to closing and termination rights contained in those agreements.
 
  •  The long-term interests of Tektronix and its shareholders, as well as the interests of Tektronix employees, customers, creditors, suppliers and the communities in which Tektronix operates.
 
  •  Information concerning the business, earnings, operations, financial condition and prospects of Tektronix and Inet, both individually and on a combined basis, including information with respect to the historic earnings performance of each of Tektronix and Inet.
 
  •  The proposed termination fee to be payable in specified circumstances, including the effect the termination fee may have on the ability of other parties to make competing business combination proposals with respect to Inet.
 
  •  The recent and historical trading prices of Tektronix common stock and Inet common stock relative to those of other industry participants, and the potential for appreciation in the value of Tektronix common stock following the merger.
 
  •  The relative ownership interests of Tektronix shareholders and Inet stockholders in the combined company immediately following the merger, based on the shares of Tektronix common stock and Inet common stock outstanding at approximately the time the merger agreement was executed.
 
  •  The ability to complete the merger, including the likelihood of obtaining regulatory approvals and the terms of the merger agreement regarding the obligations of both companies to pursue these regulatory approvals.
 
  •  The uncertainties related to the integration of Inet’s business and the risks of diverting management’s attention to the assimilation of operations and personnel of Inet.
 
  •  The conversion of all outstanding Inet stock options and stock right awards into Tektronix stock options and stock right awards upon completion of the merger.

      The discussion above sets forth the material information and factors considered by the Tektronix board in its consideration of the merger agreement. In view of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger, Tektronix’s board of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its determination. The determinations were made after consideration of all of the factors as a whole. In addition, individual members of the Tektronix board may have given different weights to different factors.

Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger

      The executive officers and members of the board of directors of Inet have interests in the merger agreement and the merger that are different from or in addition to your interests as a stockholder. These interests exist based on ancillary agreements that were entered into by many of these individuals before or in connection with the merger agreement and the merger and the vesting of stock option awards held by these individuals. The board of directors of Inet was aware of and considered these interests when it considered and approved the merger agreement and the merger.

      Stockholder Voting Agreements. The terms of the stockholder voting agreements are summarized below. See “The Merger — The Voting Agreements.”

      Noncompetition Agreements. Each of Messrs. Akilian and Simonian executed a noncompetition agreement with Inet and Tektronix in which, subject to limited exceptions, he agreed for a period of five years not to:

  •  disclose Inet’s confidential information;
 
  •  interfere with Inet’s customer or supplier relationships;
 
  •  solicit Inet’s employees; or
 
  •  compete with Inet in its business.

      The noncompetition agreements are effective upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

      Registration Rights Agreement. Each of Messrs. Akilian and Simonian executed a registration rights agreement with Tektronix. Under the registration rights agreement, Tektronix agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective at closing a shelf registration statement to permit Messrs. Akilian and Simonian to resell the shares of Tektronix common stock they receive in the merger. Tektronix is obligated to keep the shelf registration statement effective until the earlier of the sale by Messrs. Akilian and Simonian of all of their Tektronix common stock received in the merger or the expiration of one year.

      Severance Plan. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Tektronix, Impala Merger Corp., Impala Acquisition Co. LLC and Inet agreed to provide the following severance benefits to the executive officers of Inet identified below.

 
Jeffrey A. Kupp and Mark H. Kleinman

      At closing, the surviving company in the merger shall pay to each of Messrs. Kupp and Kleinman a noncompetition payment of $590,000 and $430,000, respectively, in consideration for their execution and delivery of noncompetition agreements, providing for, among other things, Messrs. Kupp’s and Kleinman’s agreement not to engage in the business of Inet for three years.

      If either Mr. Kupp or Mr. Kleinman remains continuously employed by Inet until immediately before the effective time of the merger, at the effective time Tektronix will pay to Mr. Kupp or Mr. Kleinman, as applicable, a transaction bonus in an amount equal to $285,000, in the case of Mr. Kupp, and $226,800, in the case of Mr. Kleinman.

53


Table of Contents

      Messrs. Kupp and Kleinman have agreed with Tektronix to provide transition support services to Tektronix or the surviving company in the merger for a period of up to three months after the effective time of the merger. During the transition period, Tektronix will pay to Mr. Kupp an amount equal to $15,833 per month and to Mr. Kleinman an amount equal to $13,500 per month. If Mr. Kupp or Mr. Kleinman perform the transition support services, Tektronix will pay to Mr. Kupp a transition bonus in the amount of $26,300 and to Mr. Kleinman a transition bonus in the amount of $55,200.

      If Mr. Kupp or Mr. Kleinman does not become an employee of the surviving company in the merger as of the effective time (other than by reason of providing the transition services described above), Tektronix will, in addition to the compensation described above:

  •  provide the applicable executive COBRA expense coverage (including dependent and/or family coverage) for the coverage each of them had in effect immediately before termination for eighteen (18) months after the completion of the transition services period applicable to that executive; and
 
  •  provide to the applicable executive standard outplacement services as are provided by Tektronix to its employees from time to time,

in each case, without any gross-up for the federal income tax consequences of the specified benefits. In addition, all options and restricted stock beneficially held by Mr. Kupp or Mr. Kleinman, as applicable, immediately before the effective time of the merger will become vested immediately after the effective time to the same extent as if they were outstanding as of December 31, 2006.

      As a condition to Mr. Kupp’s or Mr. Kleinman’s receipt of any of the payments and benefits described above, each of them will execute and deliver to Tektronix and the surviving company in the merger a release of claims in form and substance satisfactory to Tektronix.

 
William H. Mina

      If at or before the closing of the merger Tektronix:

  •  notifies Mr. Mina that it requires him to provide transition support services for up to six (6) months immediately following the effective time of the merger and he performs the services for that time period;
 
  •  does not notify Mr. Mina that it requires him to provide transition support services to Tektronix; or
 
  •  notifies Mr. Mina that it does not require him to provide transition support services to Tektronix;

then Tektronix will pay to Mr. Mina on the closing date of the merger, or if applicable, the completion date of the services, an amount equal to twelve (12) months’ base pay plus one hundred (100) percent of his target bonus.

      If Mr. Mina does not become an employee of the surviving company in the merger as of the effective time (other than by reason of providing the transition services described above), Tektronix will, in addition to the compensation described above:

  •  pay to Mr. Mina an amount equal to twelve (12) months’ base pay plus one hundred (100) percent of his target bonus;
 
  •  provide Mr. Mina COBRA expense coverage (including dependent and/or family coverage) for the coverage he had in effect immediately before termination for eighteen (18) months after the effective time of the merger; and
 
  •  provide Mr. Mina standard outplacement services as are provided by Tektronix to its employees from time to time,

in each case, without any gross-up for the federal income tax consequences of the specified pay and benefits. In addition, all options and restricted stock beneficially held by Mr. Mina immediately before the

54


Table of Contents

effective time of the merger will become vested to the same extent as if they were outstanding as of December 31, 2006.

      As a condition to Mr. Mina’s receipt of any of the payments and benefits described above, he will execute and deliver to Tektronix and the surviving company in the merger a release of claims in form and substance satisfactory to Tektronix.

 
Michael J. Reiman

      Tektronix will offer Mr. Reiman a senior technical position with Tektronix. If Mr. Reiman accepts Tektronix’s offer and (a) is terminated by Tektronix without Cause (as defined below) within twenty-four (24) months after the effective time of the merger or (b) terminates his employment with Tektronix within twenty-four (24) months after the effective time of the merger for Good Reason (as defined below), Tektronix will:

  •  pay to Mr. Reiman an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months’ base pay;
 
  •  provide COBRA expense coverage (including dependent and/or family coverage) for the coverage Mr. Reiman had in effect immediately before termination for eighteen (18) months after the effective time of the merger; and
 
  •  provide standard outplacement services as are provided by Tektronix to its employees from time to time,

in each case, without any gross-up for the federal income tax consequences of the specified pay and benefits. In addition, all options, restricted stock and stock awards beneficially held by Mr. Reiman as of immediately before the effective time will become vested to the same extent as if they were outstanding as of December 31, 2006. In consideration for, and as a condition to receiving, these benefits, Mr. Reiman will execute and deliver to Tektronix a release of claims in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tektronix.

      As used above:

      “Cause” means termination upon:

  •  the continued failure by Mr. Reiman to perform substantially his reasonably assigned duties with Tektronix (other than any failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Mr. Reiman by Tektronix which specifically identifies the manner in which Tektronix believes that Mr. Reiman has not substantially performed his duties; or
 
  •  the willful engaging by Mr. Reiman in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to Tektronix.

No act, or failure to act, on Mr. Reiman’s part will be considered “willful” if Mr. Reiman reasonably believed that his action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Tektronix.

      “Good Reason” means the occurrence, without Mr. Reiman’s express written consent, of any of the following circumstances, unless the applicable circumstance is fully corrected before the date of termination specified in a notice of termination given by Mr. Reiman to Tektronix describing the circumstance (which date of termination must be specified in the notice and must not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days following delivery of the notice):

  •  the relocation of Mr. Reiman’s office in which he was located before the effective time of the merger to a location more than fifty (50) miles distant; or
 
  •  the failure by Tektronix to continue to provide Mr. Reiman with salary and benefits at least as favorable (based on value), in the aggregate, as those enjoyed by Mr. Reiman with Inet immediately before the effective time of the merger.

55


Table of Contents

      Acceleration of Director Stock Options. In accordance with the terms of Inet’s 1998 Employee Stock Option/ Stock Issuance Plan, the repurchase rights applicable to the options issued to Inet’s outside directors will lapse upon the effective time of the merger.

      Continued Director and Officer Indemnification. Beginning as of the completion of the merger, Tektronix will continue to indemnify the existing and former directors and officers of Inet in accordance with the indemnification provisions contained in the charter documents of Inet for any liabilities incurred in connection with any claim arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or before the completion of the merger, including the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. In addition, Tektronix agreed to, and agreed to cause the surviving company in the merger to, continue to maintain for a period of six years following the merger (a) the same provisions regarding the elimination of liability of directors and the indemnification of officers and directors contained in its charter documents and (b) the current, or equivalent, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies, subject to a cap on the increase in annual premiums of 150% over the current annual premium cost, in each case for claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the completion of the merger. As an alternative to the maintenance of the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies, with the consent of Tektronix, not to be unreasonably withheld, Inet is permitted to purchase before closing of the merger “tail” insurance coverage for the six year period so long as the annual premium for the insurance coverage over the six year period does not exceed 150% of Inet’s current annual premium and the terms of the policy are identical in all material respects to the existing policy.

Manner and Procedure for Exchanging Shares of Inet Common Stock; No Fractional Shares

      Surrender of Certificates. As promptly as practicable following the effective time of the merger, the exchange agent will mail to each record holder of Inet common stock (a) a letter of transmittal and (b) instructions for surrendering certificates formerly representing Inet common stock in exchange for cash and a certificate or certificates representing Tektronix common stock, into which the Inet common stock will be converted pursuant to the merger. After receipt of those forms, holders of Inet common stock will be able to surrender their certificates to the exchange agent, and each holder will receive in exchange therefor the cash to which the holder is entitled, certificates evidencing the number of whole shares of Tektronix common stock to which the holder is entitled, and any cash which may be payable in lieu of a fractional share of Tektronix common stock. Inet stockholders should not send their certificates until they receive the transmittal form.

      After the merger, each certificate that previously represented shares of Inet common stock will represent only the right to receive the cash and shares of Tektronix common stock into which those shares of Inet common stock have been converted.

      Tektronix will not pay dividends to holders of Inet stock certificates in respect of the shares of Tektronix common stock into which the Tektronix shares represented by those certificates have been converted until the Inet stock certificates are surrendered to the exchange agent.

      After the effective time, Inet will not register any further transfers of Inet shares. Any certificates evidencing Inet shares that are presented for registration after the effective time of the merger will be exchanged for the cash and certificates evidencing the number of whole shares of Tektronix common stock to which they are entitled, and any cash which may be payable in lieu of a fractional share of Tektronix common stock.

Voting Agreements

      Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, Tektronix executed a voting agreement with each of Elie S. Akilian, Inet’s President and Chief Executive Officer and approximately 20.5% stockholder, and Samuel S. Simonian, Inet’s Chairman of the Board and approximately 18.6% stockholder, to facilitate the merger of Tektronix and Inet. Pursuant to the voting agreements, and as further described

56


Table of Contents

below, Messrs. Akilian and Simonian agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger agreement and merger at the special meeting.

      Voting of Shares. From June 29, 2004 until the termination of the voting agreement, each of Messrs. Akilian and Simonian agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the voting agreement, to vote his shares at any meeting of the stockholders of Inet (or cause to be voted any shares he controls):

  •  in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the terms thereof and of the merger and each of the other transactions contemplated thereby;
 
  •  against any competing acquisition proposal; and
 
  •  against any amendments to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Inet.

      Grant of Proxy. In connection with the voting agreement, each of Messrs. Akilian and Simonian granted an irrevocable proxy to Tektronix to vote his shares of Inet in the manner described in the bullet points above.

      Transfer Restrictions. Each stockholder signatory to the voting agreement agreed that, except as specifically permitted by the voting agreement, following its execution and until its termination, he will not sell, offer, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber his shares of Inet common stock.

      Termination. The voting agreement automatically terminates upon the first to occur of

  •  the completion of the merger or
 
  •  the termination of the merger agreement.

The voting agreements also provide that for a period of one year after termination, Messrs. Akilian and Simonian will not enter into a voting or similar agreement with any potential acquirer of Inet that includes terms that are more favorable to the acquirer than the terms of the voting agreements.

      This summary of the voting agreements is not intended to be complete and is qualified in all respects by the actual agreements, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.

Governmental and Regulatory Approvals

      HSR Act Filing. Under the HSR Act and the regulations promulgated pursuant to the HSR Act, we may not complete the merger until the statutory waiting period has expired or been terminated. On July 20, 2004, each of Tektronix and Inet filed a pre-merger Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with the Justice Department and the FTC. On August 3, 2004, the FTC notified Tektronix and Inet that it and the Justice Department had granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Although the waiting period has terminated, at any time before or after the effective time of the merger, the Justice Department, the FTC or others could take action under the antitrust laws with respect to the merger, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the merger, to unwind the merger, or to require the divestiture of a portion of Tektronix’s or Inet’s assets. We do not assure you that a challenge to the merger on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge is made, that it would not be successful.

      Other Regulatory Approvals. It is also a condition to the parties’ respective obligations to complete the merger that all required approvals of foreign antitrust authorities are obtained. Tektronix and Inet have made filings with the appropriate governmental authorities in Brazil, Portugal and Germany. The merger was approved by Germany’s antitrust authority on August 12, 2004. The merger is currently under review in Brazil and Portugal. The approval of the Brazilian regulatory authority is not required prior to closing. The first phase review period in Portugal ends September 13, 2004. The parties will be able to complete the merger if that period ends without a further request for information from the Portugese regulatory authority. Although we do not expect these regulatory authorities to raise any significant concerns in connection with their review of the merger, we do not assure you that we will obtain all required regulatory

57


Table of Contents

approvals, or that those approvals will not include terms, conditions or restrictions that would be detrimental to Tektronix or Inet.

Merger Expenses, Fees and Costs

      Inet and Tektronix will each bear one-half of the costs of soliciting proxies from Inet’s stockholders, including the costs of printing and mailing this proxy statement/ prospectus, and the costs of filing Tektronix’s registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Tektronix and Inet agreed to share equally the costs of the filings required under the HSR Act and other applicable foreign antitrust laws. All other expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement will be paid by the party bearing those expenses.

Accounting Treatment

      The mergers contemplated by the merger agreement will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The assets, liabilities and results of operations of Inet will be consolidated into the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Tektronix as of the effective times of the mergers.

      Tektronix will be the acquiring entity under generally accepted accounting principles and the assets and liabilities of Inet (the acquired entity for accounting purposes) will be revalued to fair value and the assets and liabilities of Impala Merger Corp./ Impala Acquisition Corp./ Tektronix (the acquiring entity for accounting purposes) will remain at historical cost.

Form of the Merger

      Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and in accordance with Delaware law, at the effective time of the merger, Impala Merger Corp., a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, will be merged with and into Inet, with Inet surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. Immediately after the first merger, Inet will merge with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, a wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary of Tektronix, with Impala LLC surviving the second merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

      The following discussion is a summary of the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to Inet’s stockholders. The discussion is based on and subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code, administrative rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to differing interpretations. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular stockholder in light of his or her circumstances or to stockholders subject to special treatment under the Code, such as, without limitation: banks, thrifts, mutual funds and other financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations and pension funds, insurance companies, dealers or brokers in securities or foreign currency, persons whose shares are held in individual retirement and other deferred accounts, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, persons who hold their shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, partnerships or other pass-through entities, stockholders holding their shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities, stockholders whose shares are not held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, stockholders who received their shares through the exercise of employee stock options, pursuant to Inet’s employee stock purchase plan or otherwise as compensation, and stockholders who are not U.S. persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code). In addition, the discussion does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences of the merger.

      This discussion is a general summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Each Inet stockholder is

58


Table of Contents

urged to consult his or her tax advisor with respect to the particular federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of the merger.

      Classification of Merger as Reorganization. The tax consequences of the merger to Inet stockholders will depend upon whether the merger qualifies as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code. To qualify as a “reorganization,” the merger must satisfy a number of requirements, including a “continuity of interest” requirement. To satisfy the continuity of interest requirement, Inet stockholders must receive a meaningful ownership interest in Tektronix as a result of the merger. In general, this requirement will be considered satisfied if the fair market value of the Tektronix common stock to be received by stockholders in the merger constitutes a substantial portion of the total merger consideration. There is no definitive test for determining whether the continuity of interest requirement has been met; tax counsel has indicated to Tektronix and Inet, however, that the continuity of interest requirement will be met if the value, as of the effective time of the merger, of the Tektronix common stock received by Inet stockholders in the merger represents at least 45% of the total value of consideration received by Inet stockholders for their Inet stock as a result of the merger (including amounts received by dissenting stockholders) (the “45% Condition”).

      Under the merger agreement, so long as the value of the Tektronix common stock satisfies the 45% Condition (whether or not as a result of an adjustment to the merger consideration, as described in the following paragraph), it will be a condition of Inet’s obligation to complete the merger that Inet shall have received an opinion from its counsel, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP (or from Tektronix’s counsel, Stoel Rives LLP, in the event Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP is not able to deliver the opinion) that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization Tax Opinion”).

      It is possible that the value of Tektronix common stock as of closing will have declined and as a result, with no adjustment to the merger consideration, the 45% Condition will not be met. In that case, Tektronix has the right (but not the obligation) to offer to increase the Tektronix common stock portion of the merger consideration and decrease the cash portion of the merger consideration so that the 45% Condition is satisfied. If the 45% Condition is not satisfied and Tektronix offers to increase the stock portion of the merger consideration, Inet may accept the increase in stock consideration, in which case, as mentioned above, it will be a condition of Inet’s obligation to complete the merger that Inet shall have received from counsel a Reorganization Tax Opinion. Alternatively, if the 45% Condition is not satisfied and Tektronix offers to increase the stock portion of the merger consideration, Inet may reject Tektronix’s offer and elect to proceed with the merger with no adjustment to the merger consideration, in which case the receipt of a Reorganization Tax Opinion would not be a condition to Inet’s obligation to complete the merger. If the 45% Condition is not satisfied and Tektronix elects not to increase the Tektronix common stock portion of the merger consideration, Inet may elect to terminate the merger agreement. Alternatively, if the 45% Condition is not satisfied and Tektronix elects not to increase the Tektronix common stock portion of the merger consideration, Inet may nonetheless elect to proceed with the merger, and the receipt of a Reorganization Tax Opinion would not be a condition to Inet’s obligation to complete the merger.

      If the 45% Condition is satisfied and both Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Stoel Rives LLP are nevertheless unable to deliver a Reorganization Tax Opinion to Inet, Inet can waive the receipt of the Reorganization Tax Opinion and proceed with the closing. Also, as noted above, if the 45% Condition is not satisfied (whether because Inet rejects Tektronix’s offer to add stock to the merger consideration or because Tektronix does not make the offer and Inet nonetheless elects to proceed with the merger), the closing of the merger will not be conditional upon receipt of a Reorganization Tax Opinion. In either of these situations, depending upon the circumstances, it may be unclear whether or not the merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

      Whether or not the 45% Condition is satisfied, as a condition to its obligation to complete the merger, Tektronix shall have received from Stoel Rives LLP (or from Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, if Stoel Rives is not able to deliver its opinion) either a Reorganization Tax Opinion or an opinion that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will not be a taxable transaction to Inet, Merger Corp. or LLC (the “No

Table of Contents

Corporate Level Tax Opinion”). If both Stoel Rives LLP and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP are unable to deliver to Tektronix either the Reorganization Tax Opinion or the No Corporate Level Tax Opinion, Tektronix can choose to waive the receipt of the opinion and proceed with the closing.

      In rendering their tax opinions, counsel will rely on representations made by Inet and Tektronix, including, without limitation, that Tektronix will cause the surviving company of the first merger to be merged into LLC and that the mergers are being undertaken pursuant to a single integrated plan. Furthermore, each tax opinion will be subject to specified assumptions, limitations and qualifications. If any of these representations or assumptions is inconsistent with the actual facts, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the merger could be adversely affected and the tax opinions cannot be relied upon. In addition, no ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax consequences of the merger has been, or will be, requested. The tax opinions are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and it is possible that the IRS could assert a contrary position and that a court could sustain that position.

      Material Tax Consequences of Merger. Assuming that the merger is treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the merger will have the following U.S. federal income tax consequences:

  •  an Inet stockholder will not recognize any gain or loss upon the receipt of shares of Tektronix common stock in exchange for the stockholder’s Inet common stock;
 
  •  an Inet stockholder will recognize any gain, but not loss, realized to the extent of any cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares) received in exchange for the stockholder’s Inet common stock. That gain generally will be capital gain and will be long-term capital gain if Inet stock exchanged was held for more than one year as of the effective time of the merger;
 
  •  the tax basis of the shares of Tektronix common stock received by an Inet stockholder in the merger will be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the shares of Inet common stock exchanged therefor, decreased by the amount of any cash payments received, and increased by the amount of any gain required to be recognized by the Inet stockholder;
 
  •  the holding period of the shares of Tektronix common stock received by an Inet stockholder in the merger will include the holding period of the shares of Inet common stock exchanged therefor; and
 
  •  cash received by an Inet stockholder in lieu of a fractional share of Tektronix common stock will be treated as received in exchange for the fractional share, and the stockholder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the tax basis of the share of the Inet common stock allocable to the fractional interest.

      In the event that the merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, an Inet stockholder generally would recognize an amount of taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the fair market value of the shares of Tektronix common stock plus the amount of cash received in the merger, and (2) the Inet stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in Inet common stock exchanged therefor. That gain or loss generally would be capital gain or loss and would be long-term capital gain or loss if the Inet common stock exchanged was held for more than one year as of the effective time of the merger. An Inet stockholder’s tax basis in any shares of Tektronix common stock received would equal the fair market value of the shares at the effective time of the merger and the holding period for the shares would begin on the date immediately following the effective time of the merger.

      Dissenting Stockholders. Cash received by an Inet stockholder in satisfaction of appraisal rights will result in the recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes, measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the adjusted tax basis of Inet common stock surrendered. The gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares had been held for more than one year as of the time of the merger.

      Backup Withholding. Backup withholding at the applicable rate may apply with respect to payments, including cash received in the merger, unless an Inet stockholder (1) is a corporation or comes within specified other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or (2) provides a properly

60


Table of Contents

completed IRS Form W-9 (or successor or substitute form) showing the stockholder’s correct taxpayer identification number, certifying that the stockholder has not lost the exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. An Inet stockholder who does not provide its correct taxpayer identification number may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the stockholder furnishes specified required information to the IRS.

      Inet stockholders will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger and will be required to file with their U.S. federal income tax returns for the year in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth specified facts relating to the merger.

      The foregoing discussion is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any particular Inet stockholder. Tax matters regarding the merger are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to any particular Inet stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s particular situation. Inet stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences of the merger, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability of federal, state, local and foreign tax laws and the effect of any proposed change in the tax laws.

Appraisal Rights

      Under Delaware law, if the merger is completed, stockholders of record who do not vote in favor of the merger and who comply with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (a copy of which can be found in Annex C of the attached proxy statement/prospectus) will be entitled to receive payment for their shares as may be determined to be due under Section 262. Inet is required to send a notice to that effect to each stockholder not less than 20 days before the special meeting. This proxy statement/prospectus constitutes that notice to you.

      The following is a brief summary of Section 262, which sets forth the procedures for demanding statutory appraisal rights. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262, a copy of the text of which is attached hereto as Annex C.

      A stockholder who desires to exercise appraisal rights must (a) not vote in favor of the merger and (b) deliver a written demand for appraisal of his or her shares to the Secretary of Inet before the vote on the merger at the special meeting.

      A demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the stockholder of record, and must reasonably inform Inet of the identity of the stockholder of record. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, the demand must be executed by the fiduciary. If shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand must be executed by all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent of two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner and expressly disclose that, in exercising the demand, he is acting as agent for the record owner. In addition, the stockholder must continuously hold the shares of record from the date of making the demand through the effective time.

      A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as a nominee for others may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of shares as to which the holder is the record owner. In that case the written demand must set forth the number of shares covered by the demand. Where the number of shares is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares outstanding in the name of the record owner.

      Beneficial owners who are not record owners and who intend to exercise appraisal rights should instruct the record owner to comply strictly with the statutory requirements with respect to the exercise of appraisal rights before the vote on the merger agreement. A holder of shares held in “street name” who desires appraisal rights with respect to his or her shares must take all actions as may be necessary to ensure that a timely and proper demand for appraisal is made by the record owner of the shares. Shares held through brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions are frequently deposited with and held

61


Table of Contents

of record in the name of a nominee of a central security depositary, such as Cede & Co., The Depository Trust Company’s nominee. Any holder of shares desiring appraisal rights with respect to shares held through a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution is responsible for ensuring that the demand for appraisal is made by the record holder thereof. The stockholder should instruct the firm, bank or institution that the demand for appraisal must be made by the record holder of the shares, which might be the nominee of a central security depositary if the shares have been so deposited.

      Stockholders of record who elect to demand appraisal of their shares must mail or deliver their written demand to: Inet Technologies, Inc., 1500 North Greenville Avenue, Richardson, Texas 75081, Attention: Secretary. The written demand for appraisal should specify the stockholder’s name and mailing address, the number of shares owned, and that the stockholder is thereby demanding appraisal of his or her shares. The written demand must be received by Inet before the special meeting. Neither voting (in person or by proxy) against, abstaining from voting on or failing to vote on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement will alone suffice to constitute a written demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262.

      In addition, the stockholder must not vote its shares of common stock in favor of the merger agreement. Because a proxy which does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the merger agreement, a stockholder who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must vote against the merger agreement or abstain from voting on the merger agreement.

      Within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, either the surviving corporation in the merger or any stockholder who has timely and properly demanded appraisal of his or her shares and who has complied with the required conditions of Section 262 and is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of all stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal. If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed, after a hearing on the petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights and thereafter will appraise the shares owned by those stockholders, determining the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with a fair rate of interest to be paid, if any, upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery is to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., et al., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the considerations that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court stated that in making this determination of fair value the court must consider “market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which were known or which could be ascertained as of the date of merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation....” The Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.” However, the Delaware Supreme Court noted that Section 262 provides that fair value is to be determined “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.”

      Stockholders considering seeking appraisal should bear in mind that the fair value of their shares determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the merger consideration they are entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement if they do not seek appraisal of their shares, and that opinions of investment banking firms as to fairness from a financial point of view are not necessarily opinions as to fair value under Section 262.

      The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder seeking appraisal rights, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by the stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged

62


Table of Contents

pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of a determination of assessment, each party will bear its own expenses.

      Except as explained in the last sentence of this paragraph, at any time within 60 days after the effective time of the merger, any stockholder who has demanded appraisal will have the right to withdraw his or her demand for appraisal and to accept the cash and shares of Tektronix common stock to which he or she is entitled pursuant to the merger. After this period, the stockholder may withdraw his or her demand for appraisal only with the consent of the surviving corporation in the merger. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, stockholders’ rights to appraisal will cease and all stockholders will be entitled only to receive the cash and shares of Tektronix common stock as provided for in the merger agreement. Inasmuch as the parties to the merger agreement have no obligation to file a petition for appraisal, and have no present intention to do so, any stockholder who desires that a petition be filed is advised to file it on a timely basis. No petition timely filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding appraisal will be dismissed as to any stockholders without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just.

Delisting and Deregistration of Inet Common Stock

      If the merger is completed, Inet common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market and will no longer be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

      The following is a summary of the material provisions of the merger agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety and attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A. We urge you to read the merger agreement in its entirety.

Form of the Merger

      If the holders of Inet common stock approve and adopt the merger agreement and all other conditions to the merger are satisfied or waived, Impala Merger Corp., a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, will merge with and into Inet, followed by a second merger of the surviving corporation in the Impala Merger Corp./ Inet merger with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. After the second merger, Impala Acquisition Co. LLC will be the surviving entity and will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix.

Merger Consideration

      The merger agreement provides that each share of Inet common stock outstanding immediately before the effective time of the merger (other than treasury stock of Inet and other than Inet common stock as to which appraisal rights have been properly demanded) will be converted, subject to adjustment as described below, into the right to receive:

  •  $6.25 in cash; and
 
  •  a fraction of a share of Tektronix common stock equal to the exchange ratio.

      Exchange Ratio. The exchange ratio will be determined by reference to the average of the closing sale price per share of Tektronix common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the closing date of the merger, which we refer to as the “Tektronix average price.” If the Tektronix average price is greater than or equal to $34.83, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $34.83, or 0.179. If the Tektronix average price is equal to or less than $28.50, then the exchange ratio will be the number obtained by dividing $6.25 by $28.50, or 0.219. If the Tektronix average price is greater than $28.50 and less than $34.83, the exchange ratio will be calculated by dividing $6.25 by the Tektronix average price. See “The Merger — General — Exchange Ratio” for a table that illustrates the implied value of the merger consideration assuming various hypothetical reference prices.

      You will not receive any fractional shares of Tektronix common stock in the merger. Instead of any fractional shares, you will be paid cash for your fractional shares based on the closing price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger.

      For example, if the Tektronix average price were $29.36, which was the closing price of Tektronix common stock on August 26, 2004, the exchange ratio would be 0.213 and a Inet stockholder owning 100 shares of Inet common stock would receive total consideration with an implied value at closing of $1,250.37, consisting of $625.00 in cash, 21 shares of Tektronix common stock, and $8.81 in cash instead of fractional shares. If the Tektronix average price were $34.94, which was the closing sale price for Tektronix common stock on June 29, 2004, the last trading day before the public announcement of the transaction, the exchange ratio would be 0.179 and a Inet stockholder owning 100 shares of Inet common stock would receive total consideration with an implied value at closing of $1,250.43, consisting of $625.00 in cash, 17 shares of Tektronix common stock, and $31.45 in cash instead of fractional shares. Each of these examples assumes the Tektronix average price is the same as the closing sale price of Tektronix common stock on the closing date of the merger.

      Determination of Exchange Ratio; Changes in Stock Price. The merger agreement provides that the five-day valuation period for determining the exchange ratio will end on the trading day that immediately precedes the closing date of the merger. As a result, the number of shares of Tektronix common stock

64


Table of Contents

constituting the merger consideration will be fixed on the trading day before the merger. Because the market price of Tektronix common stock fluctuates, the value of the Tektronix common stock that Inet stockholders will receive in the merger may increase or decrease after the valuation period and before the closing of the merger. You may call, toll-free, 1-800-628-8536 for information concerning the estimated number of shares of Tektronix common stock that will be issued in exchange for each share of Inet common stock as of the date you call.

      Cash Top-up. If at the closing of the transaction the Tektronix average price is less than $31.66 and greater than or equal to $28.50, Tektronix may elect, in its sole discretion, to increase the cash portion of the merger consideration and correspondingly reduce the exchange ratio. Tektronix’s right to substitute additional cash in place of its common stock cannot be exercised if and to the extent it would result in a failure to meet the 45% Condition described below. Subject to the 45% Condition, the additional cash amount per share is calculated using the following formula:

A((6.25/A) — 0.197)

where A = the Tektronix average price.

If the cash top-up is exercised, in all instances the exchange ratio will be 0.197.

      Stock Top-up. Tektronix may have the ability to substitute additional Tektronix stock for cash depending on various circumstances that relate to the treatment of the merger for tax purposes. Treatment of the merger as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on, among other things, whether the value, as of the effective time of the merger, of the Tektronix common stock payable in respect of Inet common stock is sufficient to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirement contained in applicable tax regulations. Tax counsel has advised that, if the aggregate value of the Tektronix stock issued in the merger equals or exceeds 45% of the aggregate cash and stock consideration payable in respect of the Inet common stock (taking account of Inet stockholders exercising appraisal rights) and other conditions are satisfied, the continuity of interest requirement will be met. Under the merger agreement, specified consequences follow depending on whether or not the value of Tektronix common stock at the effective time of the merger and payable in the merger equals or exceeds 45% of the aggregate cash and stock consideration payable in respect of the Inet common stock (taking into account amounts paid to holders exercising appraisal rights under Delaware law), referred to as the “45% Condition.” For a discussion of the tax consequences to a holder of Inet common stock, see “Risk Factors” and “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

      Tektronix will advise Inet at least two business days before the closing date whether it is willing to substitute additional shares of Tektronix common stock for cash (with that substitution to be based on the Tektronix common stock closing date share price), if necessary, to meet the 45% Condition.

      If the value of the shares of Tektronix common stock payable in respect of the Inet common stock does not meet the 45% Condition and Tektronix has declined to substitute shares of Tektronix common stock for cash, then Inet has the option to either

  •  proceed with the merger even though the 45% Condition is not satisfied and, consequently, the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law, or
 
  •  terminate the merger agreement.

      If the value of the shares of Tektronix common stock payable in respect of the Inet common stock does not meet the 45% Condition and Tektronix has offered to substitute shares of Tektronix common stock for cash, then Inet has the option to either

  •  reject Tektronix’s offer to substitute shares and proceed with the merger even though the 45% Condition is not satisfied, and, consequently, the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law, or

65


Table of Contents

  •  accept the substitution of Tektronix common stock for cash and avoid the enhanced risk to its stockholders that the exchange may result in Inet stockholders being required to recognize additional taxable gain under federal income tax law.

      It is not possible to know until shortly before the closing which elections Tektronix and Inet will make with respect to either the cash top-up or stock top-up or whether the closing price of Tektronix common stock will permit satisfaction of the 45% Condition. At this time, neither Inet nor Tektronix can predict which elections they would make if the 45% Condition is not satisfied.

      The merger agreement does not require, and Inet would not expect to seek, further approval from its stockholders before electing to proceed with (or terminate) the merger at a time and under the conditions that will or could result in increased risk to Inet stockholders that the exchange of Inet common stock in the merger will be fully taxable. Therefore, adoption of the merger agreement by Inet’s stockholders will give Inet the ability to take steps, such as rejecting an increase in the stock portion of the merger consideration, or waiving its tax opinion condition to closing, that will or could result in the merger being fully taxable to Inet stockholders, or terminate the transaction, without any further action by, or further solicitation of, the Inet stockholders.

      Shares Held by Inet; Reclassification of Tektronix and Inet Common Stock. Shares of Inet common stock held by Inet in treasury will be canceled in the merger.

      If between the date of the merger agreement and the effective time, the outstanding shares of the common stock of either Tektronix or Inet should split, combine or otherwise reclassify or are otherwise changed into any other securities, or a stock dividend or other stock distribution is made, the merger agreement provides that the merger consideration will be correspondingly adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect those changes.

      Fractional Shares of Tektronix Common Stock. Tektronix will not issue fractional shares of Tektronix common stock in the merger. Instead, a cash payment will be paid in an amount equal to the product of (1) the fractional part of a share of Tektronix common stock the Inet stockholder would otherwise be entitled to, multiplied by (2) the closing price of Tektronix common stock on the NYSE on the closing date of the merger.

Closing

      Unless the parties agree otherwise, the closing will occur on September 30, 2004 or on the business day on which the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions occurs.

Effective Time

      The merger of Impala Merger Corp. with and into Inet will become effective on the date on which a certificate of merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or any later time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the certificate of merger. The filing of the certificate of merger will take place upon the closing of the merger.

Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock Awards

      Under the merger agreement, the stock options, share right awards and restricted stock issued under Inet’s stock option plans will not accelerate at the closing (other than stock options issued to non-employee directors of Inet, the repurchase rights with respect to which will fully lapse by their original terms, and stock options and restricted stock issued to certain executives of Inet under the severance arrangements described under “The Merger — Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger — Severance Plan”) and will continue in full force and effect following the merger. Each stock

66


Table of Contents

option and share right award will be converted into a stock option to purchase or share right award to receive the number of shares of Tektronix common stock equal to the sum of:

  •  the number of shares of Tektronix common stock into which the shares of Inet common stock issuable upon exercise of the stock option or receipt of the share right award would have been converted in the merger; and
 
  •  the aggregate cash amount into which the shares of Inet common stock issuable upon exercise of such stock option or receipt of such share right award would have been converted in the merger divided by the closing price of Tektronix common stock on the NYSE on the closing date.

The exercise price per share of each stock option will be obtained by dividing the old aggregate exercise price of the stock option by the number of shares of Tektronix common stock issuable upon exercise of the stock option.

      Under the merger agreement, outstanding shares of restricted stock will be converted into the same cash and stock consideration as Inet common stock not subject to restricted stock agreements, provided that the restrictions contained in the applicable restricted stock agreements will remain in effect. In addition, the cash consideration receivable in respect of restricted stock will not be payable to a holder of restricted stock until the release of the restrictions contained in the restricted stock agreement. Until paid to a holder, cash in respect of restricted stock will be deemed to earn interest at the one year treasury bill rate.

Inet agreed that, until the termination of the merger agreement or effective time of the merger, Inet will carry on its business in the ordinary and usual manner and maintain its existing relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and business associates. Additionally, subject to specified exceptions, the merger agreement expressly restricts the ability of Inet, without Tektronix’s prior written consent, to:

  •  amend its certificate of incorporation and bylaws;
 
  •  increase compensation payable to officers and employees;
 
  •  split, recombine or reclassify its capital stock;
 
  •  declare or pay any dividends;

69


Table of Contents

  •  sell any shares of capital stock or issue securities convertible into capital stock;
 
  •  redeem or repurchase its capital stock;
 
  •  incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness;
 
  •  enter into transactions outside the ordinary course of business or above specified levels or that would have a material adverse effect;
 
  •  sell, lease or otherwise transfer any properties or assets outside the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  encumber any property or modify any liability except in the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  make capital expenditures other than in the ordinary course of business, form any subsidiary or acquire any stock or assets of any other person;
 
  •  make any material tax election;
 
  •  change its method of accounting, except as required by generally accepted accounting principles as concurred with by its independent auditors, or change its fiscal year; or
 
  •  authorize or enter into any agreement to do any of the actions referred to above.

      Special Meeting. The merger agreement requires Inet to call and hold the special meeting of stockholders to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the merger. Inet, however, is not required to hold a special meeting if the merger agreement is terminated. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination.” Additionally, subject to limitations related to its discharge of its fiduciary duties (as discussed below in “The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements — No Solicitation”), the board of directors of Inet agreed to recommend that Inet’s stockholders vote in favor of the merger agreement and the merger.

      No Solicitation. The merger agreement precludes Inet, its subsidiaries and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors, representatives, agents or other intermediaries from:

  •  soliciting, initiating, encouraging or taking any action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal from any person relating to a business combination with Inet or the acquisition of more than 20% of the stock or assets of Inet and its subsidiaries as a whole; or
 
  •  participating in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnishing to any person any information, or otherwise cooperating in any way with, a competing third party proposal.

      The merger agreement provides that these restrictions do not prohibit Inet from furnishing non-public information to or negotiating with a third party if those actions are a response to an unsolicited, bona fide proposal from a third party to acquire 50% or more of Inet’s stock or assets that the Inet board of directors determines in good faith, after consulting with its financial and legal advisors, is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, terms that are more favorable to Inet’s stockholders than those in the merger agreement. A proposal meeting these criteria is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus a “superior proposal.” In addition, Inet’s board of directors is permitted to withdraw or adversely modify or change its recommendation of the merger agreement to Inet’s stockholders or recommend, adopt or approve a third party proposal if the board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is advisable to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. If the merger agreement is terminated in that circumstance, Inet will be required to pay Tektronix a termination fee. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee.”

      Inet is required to promptly advise Tektronix of the receipt of any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to any acquisition proposal, request for information from or the initiation or continuation of discussions or negotiations with a person with respect to any acquisition proposal, the material terms and conditions of any acquisition proposal, and the identity of the person making any acquisition proposal. Inet is obligated to keep Tektronix informed of the status of all discussions or negotiations with respect to any acquisition proposal.

      In specified circumstances, Inet can terminate the merger agreement to enter into an agreement with a third party with respect to a superior proposal. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination.” If the merger agreement is terminated in that circumstance, Inet may be required to pay Tektronix a termination fee. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee.”

      Access to Information. Subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, Inet agreed to afford Tektronix and its representatives, during normal business hours during the period before the effective time of the merger, reasonable access to all of Inet’s officers, employees, properties and offices and to all books and records and, consistent with its legal obligations, all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Tektronix may reasonably request. Inet also agreed to permit Tektronix to conduct an operations review during which Inet will provide access to its personnel at each operating facility.

      Employee Retention. Inet agreed to use its reasonable efforts to retain its and its subsidiaries employees until the closing date of the merger and to assist Tektronix in securing the employment of personnel to whom Tektronix or the surviving corporation intends to make offers of employment.

      Affiliate Letters. Inet agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors and persons owning more than 5% of its common stock to execute “affiliate letters” regarding the agreement of those persons to transfer any shares of Tektronix common stock received by those persons in the merger in compliance with Rule 145 under the Securities Act.

 
Tektronix’s Covenants.

      Conduct of Tektronix’s Business Pending Merger. Tektronix agreed that, until the termination of the merger agreement or effective time of the merger, Tektronix will not take or omit to take any action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Tektronix. Additionally, subject to exceptions, the merger agreement expressly restricts the ability of Tektronix, without Inet’s prior written consent, to:

  •  amend its articles of incorporation or bylaws;
 
  •  declare or pay any dividends other than quarterly cash dividends paid in the ordinary course;
 
  •  sell any shares of capital stock or issue securities convertible into capital stock, subject to specified exceptions;
 
  •  redeem or repurchase its capital stock other than pursuant to Tektronix’s existing stock repurchase program and consistent with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or
 
  •  authorize or enter into any agreement to do any of the actions referred to above.

      Employee Matters. Tektronix, Inet, Impala Merger Corp. and Impala Acquisition Co. LLC agreed that:

  •  at the effective time of the merger, all employees of Inet and its subsidiaries (other than Messrs. Kupp, Kleinman and Mina) will be employed by Tektronix or the surviving company immediately after the effective time of the merger. Neither Tektronix nor the surviving company is obligated to continue the employment of any employee after the effective time of the merger;
 
  •  Tektronix and/or the surviving company will provide, during the two year period following the effective time of the merger, salaries, bonus opportunities and benefits to Inet’s and its subsidiaries’ employees that are substantially equivalent (based on value), in the aggregate, to the salaries, bonus opportunities and benefits provided by Inet and its subsidiaries immediately before the effective time of the merger;

71


Table of Contents

  •  with respect to employee benefit plans in which Inet employees are eligible to participate, Tektronix and the surviving company will recognize the past service of employees with Inet and its subsidiaries before the effective time of the merger;
 
  •  Inet will terminate its 401(k) Plan and employee stock purchase plan immediately before the effective time and Tektronix will cause its 401(k) plan, or will cause the surviving company to establish a new 401(k) plan, to accept rollovers of all distributed account balances; and
 
  •  with respect to any welfare plans in which Inet’s and its subsidiaries’ employees are eligible to participate, Tektronix and the surviving company will (i) to the extent allowed by the plans, waive all preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements to the extent those conditions were satisfied under Inet’s welfare plans before the effective time of the merger and (ii) provide each employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid before the effective time of the merger in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements of any of Inet’s welfare plans.

      Severance Plan. Tektronix agreed, and agreed to cause the surviving company to, provide severance benefits to Inet employees, consistent with Tektronix’s Severance Pay Plan as in effect on the date of the merger agreement based upon length of service. Tektronix agreed to provide different severance benefits for employees of Inet holding “Director” and “Vice President” positions. Tektronix also agreed for the first year after the effective time of the merger to provide at least 60 days notice to Inet employees who are to be laid off so long as they work during the 60 day period.

      In addition, Tektronix agreed to severance benefits for specified Inet senior executives to be displaced in connection with the merger. For a description of these severance benefits, see “The Merger — Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger — Severance Plan.”

      Director and Officer Indemnification. Tektronix agreed, and agreed to cause the surviving company to, provide and/ or maintain the current indemnification obligations of Inet, including insurance, for a period of six years after the effective time of the merger. For a description of these post-closing indemnification obligations, see “The Merger — Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger — Continued Director and Officer Indemnification.”

      New York Stock Exchange Listing. Tektronix agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Tektronix common stock to be issued in the merger or reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options or receipt of shares under share right awards to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

      Registration on Form S-8. Tektronix agreed to put in place at the effective time of the merger a registration statement on Form S-8 for the registration of Tektronix common stock issuable in respect of options or share right awards. The registration statement is to remain outstanding for so long as any options or share right awards remains outstanding.

      Impala Merger Corp.’s and Impala Acquisition Co. LLC’s Covenants. Impala Merger Corp. and Impala Acquisition Co. LLC each agreed that, before the effective time of the applicable merger, each of them will not engage in any business activities or liquidate; merge into or consolidate with any other corporation or permit any other corporation to merge into or consolidate with it; or change its capitalization or issue any capital stock or convertible securities to purchase its capital stock.

Termination

      The merger agreement may be terminated and the merger may be abandoned at any time before the completion of the merger:

  •  by mutual written consent of Tektronix and of Inet;
 
  •  by either Tektronix or Inet if:

  —  the merger shall not have become effective on or before December 31, 2004; provided, however, that if on that date the condition regarding the receipt of U.S. and foreign antitrust approvals is not satisfied, then either Tektronix or Inet may cause that date to be extended to March 31, 2005, upon delivery of written notice to the other party; provided further, however, that the right to terminate the merger agreement pursuant to this provision will not be available to any party whose breach of the merger agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the merger to occur on or before the applicable date;
 
  —  by Tektronix or Inet if the requisite approval of the merger by the stockholders of Inet will not have been obtained by December 31, 2004; provided, however, that the right of Inet to terminate the merger agreement pursuant to this provision shall not be available to Inet if the failure to obtain stockholder approval has been caused by, or is the result of, a material breach by Inet of its covenants described above under “The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements — Inet’s Covenants — Special Meeting” and “— No Solicitation;” or
 
  —  there is in effect any order, decree or injunction of a foreign, federal or state court of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement or any action shall have been taken or any law shall have been enacted, by any foreign, state or federal governmental entity in the United States that would prevent the completion of the merger;

  •  by Inet if:

  —  there has been a material breach by Tektronix of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of Inet’s conditions regarding Tektronix’s representations, warranties and covenants; or
 
  —  Tektronix has notified Inet that it does not intend to increase the stock consideration to the extent necessary to meet the 45% Condition;

75

Effect of Termination

      If the merger agreement is terminated as described in “The Merger Agreement — Termination” above, the agreement will be void and of no effect, and there will be no liability or obligation of any party or any party’s officers or directors, except for and with respect to:

  •  the board of directors of Inet fails to reaffirm its unanimous recommendation in favor of the merger at any time after public announcement of the merger at the request of Tektronix; or
 
  •  a tender offer or exchange offer relating to Inet common stock shall have been commenced by a third party and Inet shall not have promptly after receiving the offer sent its stockholders a statement recommending rejection of the tender offer or exchange offer;

and if at the time of the termination Tektronix was not in material breach of the merger agreement and within 12 months after the termination Inet completes a third party acquisition proposal transaction, then Inet agreed to pay to Tektronix on the closing of the acquisition transaction a termination fee of $16.2 million.

      If the merger agreement is terminated by Inet in the manner described above in connection with its entry into a transaction for a superior proposal and at the time of that termination Tektronix was not in material breach of the merger agreement, Inet agreed to pay to Tektronix concurrently with the termination a termination fee of $16.2 million.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (as applicable) of Tektronix and Inet, which are incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/ prospectus. The selected unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives pro forma effect to the merger as if the transaction had been completed on May 29, 2004 and combines Tektronix’s May 29, 2004 consolidated balance sheet with Inet’s June 30, 2004 unaudited consolidated balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations gives pro forma effect to the merger as if it had been completed on June 1, 2003 and combine Tektronix’s consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2004 with Inet’s unaudited statement of operations for the annualized period ended June 30, 2004. The pro forma adjustments are subject to change pending a final analysis of fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued, primarily common stock and stock options assumed. The effect of these changes could be material.

      The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based upon the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. The pro forma adjustments (including estimates and assumptions) made in connection with the preparation of the pro forma information are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of preparing the pro forma information for illustrative purposes necessary to comply with the disclosure requirements of the SEC. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations for future periods or the consolidated financial position or results that actually would have been realized for the periods presented had Tektronix and Inet been a single entity during these periods. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any synergies, cost savings or integration costs that may result from the integration of Tektronix’s and Inet’s businesses. Costs associated with the merger transactions related to restructuring and integration have not yet been determined. Additionally, transaction costs expected to be incurred by Inet totaling between $5.5 million and $6.5 million have not been contemplated in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Such costs would result in an increase to liabilities assumed by Tektronix, as well as an associated increase in the amount of goodwill.

      These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the annual, quarterly and other reports filed by Tektronix and Inet with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 94.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments

      On June 29, 2004, Tektronix, Inet, Impala Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, and Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix, entered into a merger agreement providing for the merger of Impala Merger Corp., with and into Inet, followed immediately by the merger of Inet with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC. Upon completion of the mergers, Impala Acquisition Co. LLC, which will succeed to all of the assets and liabilities of Inet, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Tektronix. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Subject to adjustments, upon completion of the merger, each share of Inet common stock will be converted into the right to receive $6.25 plus a fractional share of Tektronix common stock based on an exchange ratio. Inet stock options and share right awards will convert to options to purchase or share rights to receive Tektronix shares. The assumed options and shares issuable to Inet stockholders will be recorded at fair value. Tektronix will also incur approximately $10 million of acquisition related transaction costs. The merger consideration is computed as follows (dollars in thousands):

         
Cash
  $ 245,344  
Fair value of shares issued
    245,344  
Fair value of stock options and share right awards assumed
    13,976  
Unearned stock compensation
    (3,913 )
Liabilities assumed
    27,339  
Transaction costs
    10,000  
     
 
Total purchase price
  $ 538,090  
     
 

      The fair value of the shares issued is based upon the average closing market prices of Tektronix’s common stock of $31.66, which represents the average stock price at the midpoint of the range of exchange ratios. The fair value of stock options and share right awards assumed is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

      The fair value of assets acquired, net of deferred taxes, was estimated as follows for the purpose of preparing the pro forma balance sheet (dollars in thousands):

         
Cash and short-term marketable investments
  $ 173,378  
Other tangible assets
    41,027  
In-process technology
    28,029  
Amortizable and nonamortizable intangible assets
    97,322  
Goodwill
    237,698  
Deferred taxes
    (39,364 )
     
 
Total purchase price
  $ 538,090  
     
 

      The fair value of assets acquired was established based upon the unaudited June 30, 2004 consolidated balance sheet of Inet, as well as certain assumptions made by Tektronix management regarding the difference between the historical value and the fair value of the assets acquired.

      The following notes explain the pro forma adjustments.

      A. Adjustment to record the elimination of Inet’s equity.

      B. Adjustment to record the purchase of Inet, which includes $245.3 million in cash, $245.3 million in common stock of Tektronix, the value of approximately $14.0 million of stock options and share right awards being assumed, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, $27.3 million

of liabilities assumed and $10.0 million of estimated transaction costs, offset by $3.9 million of unearned stock compensation.

      Because the number of shares of Tektronix’s common stock to be issued in the merger will not be known until shortly before the completion of the mergers, an exchange ratio of 0.197, which represents the midpoint of the range of representative exchange ratios based on Tektronix’s average common stock price of $31.66 per share, has been assumed. The measurement date used to determine the value of Tektronix’s common stock will not be known until shortly before the completion of the merger due to the formula used to calculate the number of shares of Tektronix’s common stock to be issued in the merger and the potential impact of the cash top-up and stock top-up which are described in more detail in “The Merger — General.”

      C. Adjustment to record estimated deferred tax liability primarily in connection with the intangible assets acquired in the transaction.

      D. Adjustment to record goodwill and the estimated fair value of amortizable and nonamortizable intangible assets acquired. Amortizable intangible assets comprise primarily developed technology, customer relationships and agreements not to compete which are amortizable over three to six years. A nonamortizable intangible asset was recognized for a tradename with an estimated fair value of $7.9 million. The fair value of these assets is preliminary and is expected to be finalized near the completion date of the merger.

      E. Adjustment to account for the estimated write-off of purchased in-process technology, which will be charged to the post-merger statement of operations. This write-off and other merger-specific costs are not included in the pro forma statements of operations.

      F. Adjustment to reduce deferred revenue to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value includes the expected cost to fulfill the assumed legal obligation plus a market-based profit margin. No margin has been provided for the selling effort incurred by Inet before the mergers.

Note 2 — Pro Forma Statements of Operations Adjustments

      Details of the pro forma adjustments relating to the mergers are set forth below:

      G. Adjustment to record amortization expense related to the amortizable intangible assets acquired. Such assets comprised primarily acquired technology, customer relationships and agreements not to compete which are amortizable over three to six years. The fair value of these assets is preliminary and is expected to be finalized near the completion date of the merger. If the final valuation of amortizable intangible assets is different from the preliminary estimate, the annual effect on pre-tax earnings would be approximately $3.5 million for each $20.0 million change.

      H. Adjustment to record the reduction of interest income, due to the use of $245.3 million of cash related to the purchase of Inet.

      I. Adjustment to record amortization expense related to unearned stock compensation for stock options assumed, which is being amortized over the remaining vesting period, largely over a period of one year.

      J. Adjustment to record an income tax benefit from the pro forma adjustments using a 39% statutory tax rate.

The Oregon Business Corporation Act provides that a director or officer who has been or is threatened to be made a defendant in a legal proceeding because that person is or was a director or officer of a corporation (i) shall be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses of the litigation when the director or officer is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, (ii) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of the litigation (other than a derivative suit), even if the director or officer is not successful on the merits or otherwise, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful) and (iii) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses of a derivative suit (a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), even if the director or officer is not successful on the merits, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that the director or officer is not adjudged liable to the corporation.

Tektronix will advance, before the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of that person to repay

        Tektronix also has entered into Indemnity Agreements with many of its directors and officers, which require Tektronix to indemnify the officer or director to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Indemnity Agreements also alter or clarify the statutory indemnity in the following respects, subject to specified exceptions: (i) indemnity is explicitly provided for settlements in derivative actions, (ii) prompt indemnification is required unless a determination is made that the director or officer has not met the required standard, (iii) indemnification is provided with respect to a proceeding involving a claim for breach of fiduciary duty and (iv) prompt advancement of expenses is required upon receipt of an undertaking that the director or officer will repay those amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification, unless a determination is made that the director or officer has not met the required standard.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions:        
 
Business Combination Act   Inet is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibiting specified business combinations by 15% or greater stockholders without satisfying requisite conditions.   The Oregon Business Combination Act to which Tektronix is subject is, in all material respects, identical to Delaware law.

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF TEKTRONIX’S CAPITAL STOCK

      Tektronix’s authorized capital stock consists of 200 million common shares, without par value, and 1 million preferred shares, no par value.

Tektronix Common Shares

      As of August 26, 2004, 82,588,650 shares of common shares were outstanding and held by approximately 2,900 record holders.

      Holders of Tektronix’s common shares are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common shares have no preemptive, subscription, redemption, conversion or sinking fund rights. Tektronix’s outstanding common shares are fully paid and nonassessable.

      On the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Tektronix, holders of common shares are entitled to receive ratably Tektronix’s net assets available after it pays all debts and other liabilities and satisfies prior rights of any preferred shares. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Tektronix’s common shares may be inferior to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of preferred shares.

Tektronix Preferred Shares

      Tektronix’s board of directors is authorized, without shareholder approval, to issue up to an aggregate of 1 million preferred shares. The board may issue preferred shares in one or more series and fix or alter the terms of the shares of each series. The terms may include dividend rights, conversion rights, liquidation preferences and the number of shares in any series. The issuance of preferred shares may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Tektronix.

      Tektronix has designated 80,000 shares of Series A No Par Preferred Shares, none of which are outstanding and 125,000 of Series B No Par Preferred Shares, none of which are outstanding.

Shareholder Rights Plan

      In June 2000, Tektronix’s board of directors approved a shareholder rights plan and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding common share. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series B No Par Preferred Shares at an exercise price of $375, which may be adjusted.

      Generally, the rights become exercisable 10 days after a person or group acquires or commences a tender offer that would result in beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the common shares. Upon the occurrence of additional events specified in the shareholder rights agreement, each right would entitle its holder to purchase common shares of Tektronix or other property having a value of twice the right’s exercise price. In some cases the rights entitle holders to acquire the securities of a potential acquiring company.

      The rights to purchase Series B Preferred, which are not currently exercisable, expire on September 7, 2010, but may be redeemed by action of the board before that time, under circumstances specified in the shareholder rights agreement, for $0.001 per right.

Fair Price Provisions

      Tektronix’s Restated Articles of Incorporation contain fair price provisions that generally require a vote of 80% of shareholders entitled to vote for the approval of specified transactions involving Tektronix and a “Related Person,” or an entity controlled by or under common control with a Related Person. A Related Person is a party, which, together with its affiliates and associates, “Beneficially Owns” 20% or

91


Table of Contents

more of Tektronix’s outstanding voting shares. A Related Person is defined to include persons acting as a group. The transactions requiring an 80% vote include:

  •  mergers, consolidations and plans of exchange;
 
  •  any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or disposition of 10% or more of Tektronix’s property or assets or those of the Related Person;
 
  •  any recapitalization of Tektronix that increases voting power of the Related Person;
 
  •  any issuance, sale or exchange of securities to a Related Person; and
 
  •  the liquidation, spin-off, split up or dissolution of Tektronix proposed by or on behalf of a Related Person.

      The 80% voting requirement does not apply if:

  •  the directors who are in place as of the time the fair price provision was adopted, or directors approved by a majority of those in place at the adoption, (i) approve, in advance, the acquisition of shares making the Related Person a Related Person, or (ii) expressly approve of the business transaction in question; or
 
  •  the consideration received by shareholders in the transaction is not less than the highest price paid by the Related Person for any of its voting shares.

Business Combination Act

      As a publicly held Oregon corporation, Tektronix is governed by the Business Combination Act. This law, summarized below, affects a person’s ability to acquire control of Tektronix.

      The Business Combination Act generally provides that if a person or entity acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of Tektronix, the corporation and the shareholder, or any affiliated entity of the shareholder, may not engage in some business combination transactions for three years following the date the person acquired 15% or more of Tektronix’s voting stock. Business combination transactions for this purpose include:

  •  a merger or plan of share exchange;
 
  •  any sale, lease, mortgage or other disposition of 10% or more of Tektronix’s assets; and
 
  •  some transactions that result in the issuance of Tektronix’s capital stock to the shareholder.

These restrictions under the Business Combination Act do not apply if:

  •  the shareholder, as a result of the transaction in which it acquired 15% or more of Tektronix’s voting stock, owns at least 85% of Tektronix’s outstanding voting stock, disregarding shares owned by Tektronix’s directors who are also officers and shares owned by some employee benefit plans;
 
  •  Tektronix’s board of directors approves the share acquisition or business combination before the shareholder acquires 15% or more of Tektronix’s voting stock; or
 
  •  Tektronix’s board of directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of Tektronix’s outstanding voting stock, other than shares owned by the shareholder, approve the transaction after the shareholder acquires 15% or more of Tektronix’s voting stock.

Oregon Control Share Act

      The Oregon Control Share Act regulates the manner in which a person may acquire control of any Oregon-based corporation with 100 or more shareholders without the consent and cooperation of the board of directors. Tektronix has adopted a bylaw provision electing not to be governed by the Oregon Control Share Act.

ARTICLE 1

THE COMBINATION

      1.1 The Merger and the LLC Merger. Pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (a) Merger Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company, and the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock set forth in Section 1.3 below, such Merger to take effect at the time when the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, or at such other time as the parties may agree upon in writing pursuant to applicable Law (the “Effective Time”), and (b) immediately thereafter, Parent shall cause the Company, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, to be merged with and into LLC, such LLC Merger to take effect at the time when the LLC Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the “LLC Effective Time”).

      1.2 Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time, Merger Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company in the manner and with the effect provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Corp. shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). The outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive cash and shares of Parent Common Stock as set forth in Section 1.3 below. The outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Corp. shall be converted into shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation, all on the basis, terms and conditions described in Section 1.4. At the LLC Effective Time, the Company shall be merged with and into LLC in the manner and with the effect provided by the DGCL and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the separate corporate existence of the Surviving Corporation shall cease, LLC shall be the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”), and the outstanding shares of Surviving Corporation Stock shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment will be made with respect thereto, all on the basis, terms and conditions described in Section 1.4.

      1.3 Company Stock.

        1.3.1 Merger Consideration. (a) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Article I, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive: (i) $6.25 in cash (the “Cash Amount”) and (ii) a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock, the numerator of which is $6.25 and the denominator of which is (A) $28.50, if the average of the closing sale prices of Parent Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends and the like) as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for the 5 trading days ending upon and including the trading day immediately before the Closing Date (the “Average Closing Parent Stock Price”) is less than or equal to $28.50, (B) the Average Closing Parent Stock Price, if such price is greater than $28.50 and less than $34.83, or (C) $34.83, if the Average Closing Parent Stock Price is greater than or equal to $34.83 (such fraction, for the purposes of clarity, rounded to the nearest thousandth, the “Conversion Ratio”).
 
        (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Average Closing Parent Stock Price is less than $31.66 (the “Current Parent Stock Price”) and greater than or equal to $28.50, at Parent’s election and in its sole and absolute discretion, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive: (a) the Cash Amount, (b) cash in an amount equal to (i) the Average Closing Parent Stock Price multiplied by (ii) the difference between (A)(I) $6.25, divided by (II) the Average Closing Parent Stock Price, and (B)(I) $6.25, divided by (II) the Current Parent Stock Price (the “Additional Cash Amount”), and (c) a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock, the numerator of which is $6.25 and the denominator of which is the Current Parent Stock Price (the “Adjusted Conversion Ratio”); provided that, the Additional

A-2


Table of Contents

  Cash Amount shall be limited (but not below $0), and the denominator of the Adjusted Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted downward to reflect such limitation (if any), to the extent necessary to allow the aggregate value of the Parent Common Stock to be received by all Company stockholders in their capacities as stockholders, determined by reference to the closing sale price of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE on the Closing Date (the “Actual Closing Parent Stock Price”), to constitute 45% of the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration (including for this purpose amounts payable to Dissenting Stockholders and assuming for this purpose that all Dissenting Stockholders ultimately perfect their Dissenters’ Rights) payable to all Company stockholders (including all Dissenting Stockholders) in their capacities as stockholders, all as determined in accordance with tax law applicable in establishing adequate continuity of interest under Treas. Reg. §1.368-1(e); and provided further that the substitution of the Additional Cash Amount for Parent Common Stock shall not diminish the aggregate Merger Consideration.
 
        (b) For purposes of this Section 1.3, “45% Condition” means the aggregate value of the Parent Common Stock to be received by all Company stockholders in their capacities as stockholders, determined by reference to the Actual Closing Parent Stock Price, constitutes 45% or more of the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration (including for this purpose amounts payable to Dissenting Stockholders and assuming for this purpose that all Dissenting Stockholders ultimately perfect their Dissenters’ Rights) payable to all Company stockholders (including all Dissenting Stockholders) in their capacities as stockholders, all as determined in accordance with tax law applicable in establishing adequate continuity of interest under Treas. Reg. § 1.368-1(e).
 
        (i) No later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific time on the second business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Parent shall provide the Company with written notice (the “Parent Notice”) stating either: (A) that Parent will modify the Merger Consideration to the minimum extent necessary (if at all) to satisfy the 45% Condition (such modification to be effected by increasing the Conversion Ratio and correspondingly reducing the Cash Amount (which reduction shall be determined by reference to the increase in the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the Actual Closing Parent Stock Price) to the minimum extent necessary to satisfy the 45% Condition); or (B) that Parent will not modify the Merger Consideration.
 
        (ii) If the Parent Notice states that Parent will modify the Merger Consideration, if necessary, so as to satisfy the 45% Condition, the Company shall have the right to decline the modification of the Merger Consideration by providing Parent, within 24 hours following the Company’s receipt of the Parent Notice, with written notice stating such position (the “Company No Modification Notice”), in which case all terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the original Merger Consideration specified in accordance with Section 1.3.1(a)) shall remain in effect. If the Company fails to deliver the Company No Modification Notice within the time period set forth above, the Merger Consideration shall be so modified to the minimum extent necessary (if at all) to satisfy the 45% Condition and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
 
        (iii) If the Parent Notice states that Parent will not modify the Merger Consideration, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing Parent with written notice of termination within 24 hours following the Company’s receipt of the Parent Notice (a “Company Termination Notice”), in which case this Agreement shall terminate and the Company shall have no obligation to pay any Termination Fee to Parent. If the Company fails to provide a Company Termination Notice (the “Company Non-Termination Option”), all terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the original Merger Consideration specified in accordance with Section 1.3.1(a)) shall remain in effect.
 
        1.3.2 Conversion of Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time that is not a Dissenting Share will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive the Cash Amount, the Additional Cash Amount, if applicable, and Parent Common Stock determined in accordance with Section 1.3.1 (the “Merger Consideration”).

      1.4 Merger Corp. Stock.

        1.4.1 Each share of common stock of Merger Corp. issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to exist and be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. After the Effective Time, Parent, the sole holder of shares of Merger Corp. common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, upon surrender for cancellation of a certificate representing such shares to the Surviving Corporation, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which such shares of Merger Corp. common stock have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4. Until so surrendered, the certificates which prior to the Merger represented shares of Merger Corp. common stock shall be deemed, for all corporate purposes, including voting entitlement, to evidence ownership of the shares of the Surviving Corporation common stock into which such shares of Merger Corp. common stock shall have been converted.
 
        1.4.2 Each share of common stock of Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the LLC Effective Time shall, by virtue of the LLC Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to exist and be extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment will be made with respect thereto.

      1.5 Options. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.5, the terms and provisions of the stock options (the “Options”) held by those the Company option holders under the Company’s 1998 Stock Option/ Stock Issuance Plan and the Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Company Option Plans”) will continue in full force and effect following the Combination. By virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, each Option will be converted into an option to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the sum (rounded to the nearest whole number, but rounded down to the nearest whole number in the case of each Option that is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (an “ISO”)) of (x) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option would have been converted in the Merger, (y) the Cash Amount into which the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option would have been converted in the Merger divided by the Actual Closing Parent Stock Price and (z) the Additional Cash Amount into which the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option would have been converted in the Merger, if any, divided by the Actual Closing Parent Stock Price (the “Option Share Number”). The exercise price per share for each Option after the Effective Time will be determined by dividing the aggregate exercise price for such Option by the Option Share Number (rounded to the nearest whole cent, but rounded up to the nearest whole cent in the case of each Option that is intended to be an ISO). The term, exercisability, vesting schedule, and all other terms and conditions of each Option will to the extent permitted by Law and otherwise reasonably practicable be unchanged; provided that the exercisability of the Options shall not accelerate as a result of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided further that options granted to non-employee directors shall fully vest and the repurchase rights shall fully lapse in accordance with the terms of the Company Option Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Option that is intended to be an ISO shall be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code in order to preserve its status as an ISO.

      1.6 Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.6, the terms and provisions of any restricted stock purchase agreement or similar agreement entered into pursuant to the Company Option Plans (“Restricted Stock Agreement”), which is in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and will continue in full force and effect following the Effective Time and shall apply to all shares of Parent Common Stock held by any Person as a result of the conversion of unvested Company Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Agreement (“Company Restricted Stock”) in the Merger. Subject to this Section 1.6, each share of Company Restricted Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The vesting schedule and all other terms and conditions of each Restricted Stock Agreement will to the extent permitted by Law and

A-4


Table of Contents

otherwise reasonably practicable be unchanged; provided that (i) the vesting of the Company Restricted Stock shall not accelerate as a result of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) the portion of the Merger Consideration consisting of the Cash Amount and any Additional Cash Amount shall be paid only upon completion of the vesting period(s) in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, plus interest on such amount accrued from the Closing Date until the applicable vesting period date computed at the applicable interest rate payable on one-year treasury bills as published in the Wall Street Journal or a comparable successor rate as determined by Parent in its sole discretion.

      1.7 Stock Splits, Etc. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of either Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, combination, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, exchange of shares, or other extraordinary transaction, the Merger Consideration, Cash Amount, Conversion Ratio, Additional Cash Amount and Adjusted Conversion Ratio, shall be adjusted proportionately.

      1.8 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

      1.9 Share Right Awards. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.9, the terms and provisions of any share right award agreement pursuant to the Company Option Plan (“Share Right Award”), which is in effect prior to the Effective Time, will continue in full force and effect following the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, each Share Right Award will be converted into a share right award to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the share of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Share Right Award would have been converted in the Merger, (y) the Cash Amount into which the share of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Share Right Award would have been converted in the Merger divided by the Actual Closing Parent Stock Price and (z) the Additional Cash Amount into which the share of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Share Right Award would have been converted in the Merger, if any, divided by the Actual Closing Parent Stock Price (the “Share Right Award Number”). The term, vesting schedule, and all other terms and conditions of each Share Right Award will to the extent permitted by Law and otherwise reasonably practicable be unchanged; provided that the vesting of a Share Right Award shall not accelerate as a result of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      1.10 Surrender and Cancellation of Certificates

        1.10.1 Surrender of Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent will cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to send a letter to each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into Parent Common Stock and cash advising such holder that upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of a certificate or certificates representing such shares, along with a letter of transmittal in the form enclosed therein, the holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and cash into which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.3. If any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued, or the cash portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid, to a Person other than the Person whose name the certificate for Company Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance and payment thereof that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to Parent or its agent designated for such purpose any transfer or other taxes required, or establish to the satisfaction of Parent or its agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. If any holder of Company Common Stock canceled and retired in accordance with this Agreement is unable to deliver a certificate or certificates representing such shares of the holder, Parent, in the absence of actual notice that any shares theretofore represented by any such certificate have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such holder the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and cash

  to which such holder is entitled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement upon the presentation of the following: (i) evidence satisfactory to Parent (a) that such Person is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each certificate claimed by him, her or it to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and (b) that he, she or it is the Person who would be entitled to present each such certificate for conversion pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably requested by Parent to indemnify and hold Parent and the Transfer Agent harmless.
 
        1.10.2 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip evidencing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to any rights as a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of a fractional share, Parent will pay any holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock upon surrender of the certificates therefor an amount of cash (without interest) determined by multiplying (a) the Actual Closing Parent Stock Price by (b) the fractional share interest in Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. The provisions of this Section 1.10.2 will apply to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock held by each holder thereof and each such holder will be required to simultaneously surrender all certificates relating to shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.10 in order to surrender any such certificate.
 
        1.10.3 Escheat. Neither Parent, Merger Corp. nor LLC shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
 
        1.10.4 Option Agreements. After the Effective Time, each holder of an Option outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be deemed to hold an option exercisable for Parent Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.5.
 
        1.10.5 Treasury Shares. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock or other Company capital stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately before the Effective Time will be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment will be made with respect thereto.
 
        1.10.6 Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration such amounts as Parent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law and shall, in accordance with the applicable Law, pay any such withheld amounts to the appropriate government agency. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid by the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent.

      1.11 Dissenters’ Rights.

        1.11.1 Notice. Company stockholders desiring to dissent from the Merger and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares of Company Common Stock in lieu of the Merger Consideration may exercise their dissenters’ rights under the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenters’ Rights”). The Proxy Statement (as that term is defined in Section 2.1.6) sent by the Company to its stockholders in accordance with Section 3.1.1 will include a notice complying with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL concerning the rights of stockholders to exercise Dissenters’ Rights and a copy of the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL.

The Company will not, before the Effective Time, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any request pursuant to the exercise of Dissenters’ Rights. Each Dissenting Stockholder who becomes entitled, pursuant to the DGCL, to payment for his, her, or its Dissenting Shares will receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Dissenting Stockholder rescinds, fails to perfect, or otherwise loses Dissenters’ Rights either before or after the Effective Time, such stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock and cash, as of the Effective Time, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

        3.2.2 Stockholder Meeting; Acquisition Proposals.

        (a) As soon as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company shall (i) promptly and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock for the purpose of voting to approve the Merger (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) and (ii) subject to the provisions of this Section 3.2.2, through the Company’s Board of Directors, recommend approval of the Merger by the stockholders of the Company and include in the Proxy Statement such recommendation.
 
        (b) The Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries, any of its or their respective directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or representative (collectively, “Representatives”) retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage, or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes a Company Takeover Proposal (as defined below) or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Company Takeover Proposal. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal. The Company agrees it will take the necessary steps to inform promptly its Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 3.2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in response to a Company Takeover Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Superior Proposal (as defined below) that is reasonably likely to be completed, and which Company Takeover Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 3.2.2(b), the Company may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Company Takeover Proposal.
 
        For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Takeover Proposal” shall mean any bona fide, unsolicited (i) proposal or offer for a merger, consolidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company, (ii) proposal for the issuance of 20% or more of the equity securities of the Company as consideration for the assets or securities of another person or (iii) proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, 20% or more of the equity securities of the Company, or assets (including equity securities of any Subsidiary of the Company) that represent 20% or more of the total consolidated assets of the Company, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
        For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Superior Proposal” shall mean any offer made by a third party that if completed would result in such Person (or its stockholders) owning, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (or of the surviving entity in a merger or the direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity in a merger) or 50% or more of the total consolidated assets of the Company, which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be more favorable to the stockholders of the Company than the Merger (taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement).

        (d) Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), or propose to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the unanimous approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by such Board of Directors or any such committee thereof of this Agreement or the Merger or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Company Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or allow the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to any the Company Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement pursuant to Section 3.2.2(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company may (I) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if such Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is advisable to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law or (II) in response to a Company Superior Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 3.2.2, cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2.5; provided, however, that the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee as provided in Section 5.4.2.
 
        (e) Nothing contained in this Section 3.2.2 shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any required disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (after consultation with outside counsel), failure to so disclose would constitute or is reasonably likely to lead to a violation of applicable Law.
 
        3.2.3 Investigations. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company agrees to give Parent and its representatives and agents reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to all its premises, books and records, agreements and files and work papers of its independent auditors and to cause the officers of the Company to furnish Parent with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to its business and properties as Parent shall from time to time reasonably request. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Company shall permit Parent to conduct an operations review during which Parent shall have access to the facility managers, sales and marketing managers, finance officers, and technology, environmental and human resource managers of each Company operating facility. Any such investigations (a) shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Company’s business; and (b) shall not diminish any of the representations and warranties hereunder.
 
        3.2.4 Retention of Employees Prior to Closing. Subject to Section 3.2.1, the Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to retain the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries until the Closing Date, and to assist the Surviving Company or Parent in securing the employment after the Closing Date of those employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to whom the Surviving Company or

The Company shall notify Parent promptly if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any employee with a title of operational director or above terminates employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing.
 
        3.2.5 Company Affiliate Representation Letters. To insure compliance with Rule 145 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the Company’s directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of 5% or more of Company Common Stock to execute and deliver to Parent, at or prior to the Closing, a representation letter, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F (the “Company Affiliate Representation Letter”).

        (e) With respect to any welfare plan in which the Company Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, (i) to the extent allowed by such plans, waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees to the extent such conditions were satisfied under the welfare plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) provide each such employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan.
 
        (f) (i) Parent agrees, and agrees to cause the Surviving Company, to provide the Company Employees with severance benefits pursuant to the Parent Severance Pay Plan (the “Severance Plan”) (A) as in effect as of the date of this Agreement for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, (B) thereafter as in effect from time to time and paid COBRA continuation for up to 18 months and all options, restricted stock and stock awards beneficially held by such persons as of immediately before the Effective Time shall become vested to the same extent as if they were outstanding as of December 31, 2006.

        (I) Employees whose length of service (“LOS”) is less than 5 years are eligible to receive 30 calendar days of pay;
 
        (II) Employees whose LOS is less than 10 years and greater than or equal to 5 years are eligible to receive 60 calendar days of pay;

        (IV) Employees whose LOS is greater than or equal to 15 years are eligible to receive 120 calendar days of pay.

        (ii) For twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide 60 days notice to the Company Employees who are laid off; provided that such employees work during the 60-day period if requested to do so by Parent or the Surviving Company. After the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Company Employees shall be entitled to such notice as Parent provides to its other employees from time to time.
 
        (iii) Parent agrees, and agrees to cause the Surviving Company, to adhere to the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 3.3.2(f).
 
        3.3.3 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
 
        (a) Parent agrees that, and shall cause the Surviving Company to assume the obligations associated with, all rights of the individuals who on or prior to the Effective Time were directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the respective Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as now in effect, and any indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Such rights shall not be amended, or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitees; provided, however, that the Surviving Company shall have no obligation to provide such indemnification to the extent that it is ultimately determined that such indemnification is prohibited under applicable Law.
 
        (b) Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall cause (i) the Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability the Company Agreement of the Surviving Company to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of certain liabilities of directors, officers, employees and agents and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the

A-29


Table of Contents

  Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company to contain the current provisions regarding indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents which provisions in each case shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees.
 
        (c) For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable to the Company’s directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that, if the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance expires, is terminated or is canceled, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering such acts or omissions with respect to each such person on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable to the Company’s directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect immediately prior to the date of such expiration, termination or cancellation; provided, further, that in no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend per annum of coverage in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (or such coverage as is available for 150% of such annual premium). Alternatively, with the consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company may purchase “tail” insurance coverage covering a period of six years after the Effective Time, at a cost no greater than that set forth in the preceding sentence, that provides coverage identical in all material respects to the coverage described above.
 
        (d) The provisions of this Section 3.3.3 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise.
 
        (e) In the event that the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 3.3.3.
 
        (f) Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall unconditionally guarantee the timely payment of all funds owed by, and the timely performance of all other obligations of, the Surviving Company under this Section 3.3.3. Parent agrees that its payment obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of this Agreement against the Surviving Company or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than the defenses of statute of limitations, which are not waived). Parent hereby acknowledges that its obligations under this Section 3.3.3 constitute a guaranty of payment and not merely of collectability and Parent hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and order in connection with this guarantee and (ii) any requirement that any party enforcing the guarantee exhaust any right to take any action against the Surviving Company or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to exercise any right against Parent hereunder.
 
        3.3.4 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued (a) in the Merger, (b) upon the exercise of the Options, or (c) upon exchange of Company Restricted Stock, receipt of shares pursuant to Stock Right Awards or purchase of shares pursuant to the Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

The registration statement shall be kept effective (and the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses required thereby shall be maintained) at least for so long as any such Options, Company Restricted Stock and Share Right Awards remain outstanding.

      3.4 Covenants of Merger Corp. and LLC. Each of Merger Corp. and LLC covenants and agrees that, prior to the Effective Time or the LLC Effective Time, as applicable, each of them will not engage in any business activities or liquidate, merge into or consolidate with any other corporation or permit any other corporation to merge into or consolidate with it; or increase its authorized capital stock; or issue options, rights or warrants to purchase any of its capital stock.

Board of Directors

Inet Technologies, Inc.
1500 N. Greenville Ave.
Richardson, TX 75081

Members of the Board:

      We understand that Inet Technologies Inc. (the “Company”), Tektronix Inc. (the “Parent”), Impala Merger Corporation (“Merger Corp.”), and Impala Acquisition Co. LLC. (“LLC”) propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, substantially in the form of the draft dated June 29, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Corp. with and into Company (the “Merger”), followed immediately by the merger of Company with and into LLC. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and as a subsidiary of Parent and each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), other than shares held in treasury or owned by the Company or the Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive approximately (i) $6.25 in cash (the “Cash Amount”); (ii) a number of shares ranging from .179 to .219 shares of Parent common stock, no par value, of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”); and (iii) if applicable and at the Parent’s election, a certain amount of cash in the event that the value of the Parent Common Stock is within a range specified in the Merger Agreement (the “Additional Cash Amount”); in each case, as determined pursuant to those formulas set forth in the Merger Agreement (collectively, (i), (ii), and (iii) are referred to as the “Merger Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

      You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

      For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have:

        (i) reviewed certain publicly available financial statements and other business and financial information of the Company and the Parent, respectively;
 
        (ii) reviewed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data concerning the Company prepared by the management of the Company;
 
        (iii) reviewed certain financial forecasts prepared by the management of the Company;
 
        (iv) discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of the Company, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Merger and the strategic rationale for the Merger, with Company management;
 
        (v) discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of the Parent, including information relating to strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Merger and the strategic rationale for the Merger, with senior executives of the Parent;
 
        (vi) reviewed the pro forma impact of the Merger on the Parent’s operating statistics, consolidated capitalization and financial ratios;
 
        (vii) reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Company Common Stock and Parent Common Stock;

B-1


Table of Contents

        (viii) compared the financial performance of the Company and the Parent and the prices and trading activity of the Company Common Stock and the Parent Common Stock with that of certain other publicly-traded companies comparable with the Company and the Parent, respectively, and their securities;
 
        (ix) reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain comparable acquisition transactions;
 
        (x) participated in discussions and negotiations among representatives of the Company and the Parent and their financial and legal advisors;
 
        (xi) reviewed the Merger Agreement, and certain related documents; and
 
        (xii) considered such other factors and performed such other analyses as we have deemed appropriate

      We have assumed and relied upon without independent verification the accuracy and completeness of the information supplied or otherwise made available to us by the Company and the Parent for the purposes of this opinion. With respect to the financial forecasts and the strategic rationale for the Merger, including information relating to strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Merger, we have assumed they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the future financial performance of the Company and the Parent. In addition, we have assumed that the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, that the Merger will be treated as a tax-free reorganization, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We have assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary regulatory and other approvals and consents for the proposed Merger, no restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Merger. We have not made any assumptions with respect to the retention of Company employees by the Parent. We have also relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment by the management of the Parent and the Company of the Parent’s and the Company’s technologies and products, the timing and risks associated with the integration of the Parent and the Company and the validity of, and risks associated with, the Parent’s and the Company’s existing and future products and technologies. We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of the Company or the Parent, nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals. Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof.

      In arriving at our opinion, we were not authorized to solicit, and did not solicit, interest from any party with respect to the acquisition, business combination or other extraordinary transaction, involving the Company.

      We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with this transaction and will receive a fee for our services, which is contingent upon the consummation of the Merger. In the past, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley”) and its affiliates have provided financial advisory and financing services for the Company and have received fees for the rendering of these services. In addition, Morgan Stanley is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading, investment management and brokerage services. In the ordinary course of its trading, brokerage, investment management and financing activities, Morgan Stanley or its affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities and senior loans of the Company or the Parent for its own accounts or for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

      It is understood that this letter is for the information and use of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that this opinion may be included in its entirety in any filing made by the Company in respect of the Merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, this opinion does not in any manner address the prices at which the Parent Common Stock will trade following the announcement or consummation of the

Merger, and Morgan Stanley expresses no opinion or recommendation as to how the shareholders of the Company should vote at the shareholders’ meeting held in connection with the Merger.

      Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion on the date hereof that the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

  Very truly yours,

ANNEX C

DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

Section 262.     Appraisal Rights.

      (a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

      (b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

        (1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of § 251 of this title.
 
        (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

        a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
 
        b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
 
        c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or
 
        d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

C-1


Table of Contents

        (3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

      (c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

      (d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

        (4) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
 
        (5) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228 or § 253 of this title, then, either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation, or the surviving or resulting corporation within ten days thereafter, shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given,

C-2


Table of Contents

  provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

      (e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later.

      (f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

      (g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

      (h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may

C-3


Table of Contents

participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

      (i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or compound, as the Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

      (j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

      (k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just.

      (l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

ANNEX D

STOCKHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT

      This Stockholder Voting Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 29, 2004, between the undersigned Elie S. Akilian, a stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Inet Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Tektronix, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Parent”).

Recitals

      A. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, the Parent, Impala Merger Corp. and Impala Acquisition Co. LLC are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Impala Merger Corp. will merge with and into the Company and, immediately thereafter, the Company will merge with and into Impala Acquisition Co. LLC (collectively, the “Combination”), upon the terms and conditions set forth therein.

      B. The Stockholder desires that the Combination occur and that the Stockholder receive the Merger Consideration, as defined in the Merger Agreement.

Agreement

      Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

      1. Representations of Stockholder. The Stockholder represents that he (a) is the holder of 8,115,483 shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the Stockholder’s “Shares”), (b) does not beneficially own (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) any shares of the Common Stock of the Company other than his Shares, but excluding any shares of the Common Stock which he has the right to obtain upon the exercise of stock options outstanding on the date hereof and (c) has full power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement.

      2. Agreement to Vote Shares.

      (a) The Stockholder agrees to vote his Shares and any New Shares (as defined in Section 6 hereof), and shall cause any holder of record of his Shares or New Shares to vote to approve the Combination and to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.

      (b) At any meeting of stockholders of the Company or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which the Stockholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) his Shares and any New Shares against (i) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Combination), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of or by the Company or any other takeover proposal, including a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (collectively, “Takeover Proposal”) or (ii) any amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other proposal or transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Combination, the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of capital stock of the Company. The Stockholder further agrees not to commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

      (c) The Stockholder agrees to deliver to Richard H. Wills, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Parent, immediately upon request therefor, a proxy substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which proxy shall be irrevocable to the extent permitted by law (except that such proxy

D-1


Table of Contents

shall be deemed automatically revoked upon a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.4), with the total number of his Shares and any New Shares correctly indicated thereon.

      3. No Voting Trusts. After the date hereof, the Stockholder agrees that he will not, nor will he permit any entity under his control to, deposit any of his Shares in a voting trust or subject any of his Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of such Shares other than agreements entered into with the Parent.

      4. No Proxy Solicitations. The Stockholder agrees that he will not, nor will he permit any entity under his control to, (a) solicit proxies or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act) in opposition to or competition with the completion of the Combination, (b) subject to Section 10, directly or indirectly solicit, encourage, initiate or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to an Acquisition Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or engage in any negotiation concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with any person relating to, an Acquisition Transaction proposal, (c) become a member of a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company for the purpose of opposing or competing with the completion of the Combination, or (d) take any action which would prevent, burden or materially delay the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      5. Transfer and Encumbrance. Except for gifts given without consideration where the recipient thereof agrees to execute a voting agreement in form and substance substantially identical to this Agreement, the Stockholder agrees not to voluntarily transfer, sell, offer, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of his Shares or New Shares during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending after the earlier of (a) the effective date of the Combination or (b) the date this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms.

      6. Additional Purchases. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending after the earlier of (a) the effective date of the Combination or (b) the date this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms, the Stockholder agrees that he will not (i) purchase or otherwise acquire beneficial ownership of any shares of the Common Stock after the execution of this Agreement (“New Shares”), or (ii) voluntarily acquire the right to vote or share in the voting of any shares of the Common Stock other than the Shares, unless he agrees to deliver to the Parent immediately after such purchase or acquisition a proxy substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A with respect to such New Shares, which proxy shall be irrevocable to the extent permitted by law (except that such proxy shall be deemed automatically revoked upon a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.4). The Stockholder also agrees that any New Shares acquired or purchased by him shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares.

      7. Specific Performance. Each party hereto severally acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other party if a party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each party hereto severally agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto severally agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

      8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall not be assignable without the written consent of all other parties hereto.

      9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be

D-2


Table of Contents

amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

      10. Stockholder Capacity. The execution of this Agreement by Stockholder shall be solely in his capacity as the beneficial owner of the Shares held by Stockholder, and Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in his capacity, if any, as a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

      12. Spousal Interests in Shares. To the extent that any of Stockholder’s Shares constitute the community property of Stockholder and his spouse, Stockholder shall obtain the spouse’s acknowledgment of and consent to the existence and binding effect of this Agreement, by executing a spousal consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

      12. Miscellaneous.

      12.1 This Agreement shall be deemed a contract made under, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware.

      12.2 If any provision of this Agreement or the application of such provision to any person or circumstances shall be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the provision held invalid and the application of such provision to persons or circumstances, other than the party as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected.

      12.3 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

      12.4 Except to the extent set forth in Section 13, this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the Combination or (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement.

      12.5 All section headings herein are for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement, and no construction or reference shall be derived therefrom.

      12.6 The obligations of the Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon him until after such time as the Merger Agreement is executed and delivered by the Parent, the Company, Impala Merger Corp. and Impala Acquisition Co. LLC. The parties agree that there is not and has not been any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein.

      13. Other Transactions. For a period of one year following the termination of this Agreement, Stockholder agrees that he shall not enter into a voting or similar agreement with any potential acquiror of the Company that includes terms that are more favorable to such acquiror than the terms set forth in this Agreement.

      The Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “Oregon Act”) permits a corporation to include a provision in its articles of incorporation that eliminates personal liability of directors to the corporation and its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as directors, except that no provision may eliminate or limit a director’s liability for (a) breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) an unlawful payment of a dividend or repurchase of stock or (d) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Tektronix’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Restated Articles”), limit the personal liability of directors to Tektronix and its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Oregon Act.

      The Oregon Act and Tektronix’s Restated Articles and Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), contain provisions regarding indemnification of directors and officers. In addition, many of Tektronix’s directors and officers have entered into indemnity agreements (the “Indemnity Agreements”) with Tektronix. The general effect of the Oregon Act, the Restated Articles, the Bylaws and the Indemnity Agreements can be summarized as follows:

        (a) The Oregon Act provides that a director or officer who has been or is threatened to be made a defendant in a legal proceeding because that person is or was a director or officer of a corporation (1) shall be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses of that litigation when the director or officer is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, (2) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of the litigation (other than a derivative suit), even if the director or officer is not successful on the merits or otherwise, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful) and (3) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses of a derivative suit (a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), even if the director or officer is not successful on the merits, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that the director or officer is not adjudged liable to the corporation. The indemnification described in clauses (2) and (3) above may be made only upon a determination by (a) a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors or a committee of disinterested directors, (b) independent legal counsel or (c) the shareholders that indemnification is proper because the applicable standard of conduct has been met. The Oregon Act authorizes the advancement of litigation expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of a written affirmation of the director’s or officer’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct has been met and an undertaking by the director or officer to repay the expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. The Oregon Act authorizes a court to award additional indemnification. The Oregon Act also authorizes a corporation to provide officers’ and directors’ liability insurance and provides that statutory indemnification rights are not exclusive of any other right to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, board action, vote of shareholders or otherwise.
 
        (b) Tektronix’s Restated Articles and Bylaws provide that Tektronix will indemnify to the fullest extent then permitted by law a person who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise (including a derivative action) because that person (1) is or was a director or officer of Tektronix or (2) is or was serving at the request of Tektronix as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership or enterprise. The indemnity will extend to all expenses, amounts paid in settlement, judgments and fines incurred by the director or officer.

        (c) Tektronix has entered into Indemnity Agreements with many of its directors and officers, which require Tektronix to indemnify the officer or director to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Indemnity Agreements also alter or clarify the statutory indemnity in the following respects, subject to specified exceptions: (1) indemnity is explicitly provided for settlements in derivative actions, (2) prompt indemnification is required unless a determination is made that the director or officer has not met the required standard, (3) indemnification is provided with respect to a proceeding involving a claim for breach of fiduciary duty and (4) prompt advancement of expenses is required upon receipt of an undertaking that the director or officer will repay those amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification, unless a determination is made that the director or officer has not met the required standard.

      Tektronix has obtained insurance protecting officers and directors against specified liabilities which they may incur in their capacities as officers or directors.

 
Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

      (a) The exhibits listed below in the “Exhibit Index” are part of this Registration Statement and are numbered in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

 
Item 22. Undertakings

      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      The undersigned registrant undertakes as follows: that before any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

      The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Tektronix of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
