An annual meeting of the stockholders of Molex Incorporated (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) was held on November 15, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”) to consider the following proposals:

·                  to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 9, 2013, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Koch Industries, Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Parent”), and Koch Connectors, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) (Proposal No. 1);

·                  to approve, on an advisory non-binding basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of the Company in connection with the proposed merger (Proposal No. 2);

·                  to approve the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional votes if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (Proposal No. 3);

·                  to elect Michael J. Birck, Anirudh Dhebar, Frederick A. Krehbiel and Martin P. Slark as Class II directors nominated by the Company’s Board of Directors to serve until the effective time of the proposed merger, or, if the proposed merger is not completed, for a three-year term (Proposal No. 4);

·                  to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for fiscal 2014 (Proposal No. 5); and

·                  to approve the material terms of performance goals under the Molex Incorporated Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (Proposal No. 6).

At the Annual Meeting, holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (together, the “Voting Stockholders”), each voting as a separate class, voted to adopt the Merger Agreement, with greater than 85% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock and greater than 99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock voting in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The Voting Stockholders also voted (i) to approve, on an advisory non-binding basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of the Company in connection with the proposed merger, (ii) to elect Michael J.

This current report on Form 8-K and other documents we file with the SEC contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our future performance, business, beliefs, and management’s assumptions. In addition, we, or others on our behalf, may make forward-looking statements in press releases or written statements, or in our communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “could,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “should,” “may,” “assume,” “potential,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. We describe our respective risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect the outcome or results of operations in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, which are incorporated by reference and in other reports that we file with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties also include, without limitation: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against the Company or Parent related to the Merger Agreement; the inability to complete the transaction due to the failure to satisfy the other conditions to completion of the transaction, including the receipt of all regulatory approvals related to the transaction; the disruption of management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations due to the transaction; and the effect of the announcement of the transaction on the Company’s relationships with its customers, operating results and business generally.

We have based our forward-looking statements, including statements made regarding the proposed transaction, the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction and other statements, on our management’s beliefs and
