Item 2.01              Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As previously disclosed, MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 11, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) with AmerisourceBergen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Roscoe Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, on January 26, 2015 Purchaser commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $190.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes.

 

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, February 23, 2015 (the “Expiration Date”).  Based on information provided to the Company by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 10,096,484 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 78.1 percent of the then issued and outstanding Shares on a fully-diluted basis.  In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery had been delivered for 882,210 Shares, representing approximately 6.8 percent of the then issued and outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis. The Minimum Tender Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and all other conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

 

On February 24, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), Purchaser merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Parent.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, except for (i) Shares held by the Company as treasury stock or held by Parent or Purchaser and (ii) Shares owned by any stockholder of the Company who was entitled to demand, and who properly demanded, appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. The Shares will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”).

 

The foregoing summary description of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 12, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01                                           Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continuing Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer or Listing.

 

As a result of the transactions described in Item 2.01 hereof, which description is incorporated herein by reference, the Company (i) notified the NASDAQ of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Trading of Shares on NASDAQ was suspended as of the close of business on February 24, 2015.  The Company also intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.
