Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 31, 2012, Viasystems Group, Inc. (“Viasystems”) completed its previously announced acquisition of DDi Corp. (“DDi”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Viasystems, DDi and Victor Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viasystems, Merger Sub merged with and into DDi, with DDi continuing as the surviving corporation, under the new name of Viasystems North America, Inc., as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viasystems.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of DDi common stock (other than treasury shares held by DDi, shares held by Viasystems or its subsidiaries and shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with applicable law) was converted and exchanged into the right to receive $13.00 in cash, without interest. The merger consideration of approximately $283 million was funded from the issuance by Viasystems, Inc., a subsidiary of Viasystems Group, Inc., of seven year, $550 million of senior secured notes on April 30, 2012 (the “2019 Notes”), as described in Viasystems’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 2, 2012.
