Item 2.01
|
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
|
On July 1, 2014, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 27, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (“Martin Marietta”), Texas Industries, Inc. (“TXI”) and Project Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin Marietta (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into TXI (the “Merger”), with TXI surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin Marietta. The effective time of the Merger was 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on July 1, 2014.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of TXI common stock (other than shares owned by TXI, Martin Marietta or Merger Sub) was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.70 of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Martin Marietta common stock, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. As a result of the Merger, Martin Marietta will issue approximately 20.3 million shares of common stock. TXI stock options and other equity awards generally converted upon consummation of the Merger into stock options and equity awards with respect to Martin Marietta common stock, after giving effect to the 0.70 exchange ratio.
Upon the closing of the Merger, the shares of TXI common stock, which previously traded under the ticker symbol “TXI” on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), have ceased trading on, and were delisted from, the NYSE.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Martin Marietta’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 30, 2014, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07
|
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
|
On June 30, 2014, Martin Marietta held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the Merger Agreement. The proposal submitted to Martin Marietta shareholders at the Special Meeting was the approval of the issuance of shares of Martin Marietta common stock to TXI stockholders in connection with the Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Share Issuance Proposal”).
The Share Issuance Proposal is described in detail in Martin Marietta’s definitive proxy statement, which was filed with the Commission on May 30, 2014.
The voting results for the Share Issuance Proposal, including the number of votes cast for, against or withheld, and the number of abstentions and non-votes are set forth below. The shareholders voted to approve the Share Issuance Proposal. In connection with the Special Meeting, Martin Marietta also solicited proxies with respect to the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. As there were sufficient votes from Martin Marietta shareholders to approve the Share Issuance Proposal, adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies was unnecessary and the adjournment proposal was not submitted to Martin Marietta shareholders for approval at the Special Meeting.
