On February 9, 2012, CHS Inc. (the "Company") completed its acquisition of Solbar Industries Ltd., an Israeli company ("Solbar"), in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 23, 2011, among the Company, Science Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and Solbar (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Solbar, with Solbar continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). Effective upon the closing of the merger, each outstanding share of Solbar was converted into the right to receive $4.00 in cash, without interest, and each outstanding Solbar stock option was terminated in exchange for a cash payment in an amount per share equal to the difference between the applicable exercise price per share and $4.00, for total consideration paid by the Company of approximately $133,000,000. The Merger Agreement was previously attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 23, 2011.
