Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 25, 2015, Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (NYSE: SPLP) (“SPLP”) and CoSine Communications (Other OTC: COSN) issued a press release announcing the final results of the previously announced cash tender offer by Cedar 2015 Limited (“Cedar”), an indirect United Kingdom subsidiary of SPLP and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoSine, to acquire all of the issued and to be issued ordinary shares of API Group plc (LN:API) (the “Offer”), which closed on March 19, 2015. As a result of the Offer, Cedar owns over 97% of the share capital in API. Cedar intends to exercise its rights in accordance with applicable UK law to acquire compulsorily the remaining API shares to which the Offer relates on the same terms as the Offer.
In addition, on March 16, 2015, Cedar formally requested that API cancel its admission to trading on the AiM market of the London Stock Exchange. In accordance with the AiM rules, it is anticipated that such cancellation will take effect no earlier than 20 business days from the date of such request.
A copy of the full press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
