Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On August 5, 2013, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 24, 2013 (as amended, the Merger Agreement), among Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, a Delaware corporation (VPI), Stratos Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of VPI (Merger Sub), Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (B&L) and, with respect to limited provisions of the Merger Agreement, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada and the ultimate parent of VPI (Valeant), Merger Sub merged with and into B&L, with B&L continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of VPI (the Merger). B&L is a leading global eye health company.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of B&L common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive its pro rata share (the Per Share Merger Consideration), without interest, of an aggregate purchase price equal to $8,700,000,000 minus B&Ls existing indebtedness obligations, minus certain of B&Ls transaction expenses, minus certain payments with respect to certain canceled B&L performance-based options (which were not outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time), plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to B&Ls outstanding options immediately prior to the Effective Time, and plus certain cash amounts, all as further described in the Merger Agreement.
Each B&L restricted share and stock option, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in the case of restricted shares or, in the case of stock options, the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such stock option.
As previously disclosed, part of the Merger consideration was funded by $850,000,000 of a new series of tranche A term loans and $3,200,000,000 of a new series of tranche B term loans under Valeants Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Credit Agreement), dated February 13, 2012, by and among Valeant, certain of its subsidiaries, including VPI, as guarantors, a syndicate of financial institutions and investors, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC (GSLP), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (JPM) and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (MS), as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMCB) and MS, as Co-Syndication Agents, JPMCB, as Issuing Bank, GSLP, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other agents party thereto.
