Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 8, 2014, Lexmark International Technology S.A., a Switzerland joint stock company (“LITSA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lexmark International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lexmark”), announced the results of its public tender offer of SEK 57.00 per share to the shareholders in ReadSoft AB (“ReadSoft”), which expired on September 4, 2014. LITSA announced that the acceptance of the tender offer by ReadSoft shareholders, when combined with LITSA’s holdings in ReadSoft, represents approximately 98% of the outstanding shares and votes in ReadSoft. Settlement for the shares tendered by ReadSoft shareholders prior to the expiration of the acceptance period is expected to begin around September 11, 2014.
Because LITSA now holds more than 90% of the shares in ReadSoft, LITSA intends to request a compulsory purchase of the outstanding minority shares in ReadSoft as soon as practicable.
On September 8, 2014, LITSA and Lexmark each issued press releases announcing the results of the Readsoft tender offer. The text of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
