Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
As previously disclosed, Roundys, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 10, 2015 (the Merger Agreement) with The Kroger Co., an Ohio corporation (Parent), and KS Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Purchaser), pursuant to which, among other things, Purchaser commenced a cash tender offer (the Offer) to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Shares), at a purchase price of $3.60 per Share in cash, without interest (the Offer Price) and less any applicable withholding taxes.
Upon the expiration of the Offer at 11:59 pm, New York City time, on Thursday, December 17, 2015, Purchaser accepted for payment 33,144,128 Shares representing approximately 67.138% of the outstanding Shares. In addition, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer, advised that it received commitments to tender to Purchaser 1,409,042 additional shares under the guaranteed delivery procedures in the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer, representing approximately 2.854% of the outstanding Shares. Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered in, and not withdrawn from, the Offer according to the terms and conditions of the Offer.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser was merged with and into the Company (the Merger) on December 18, 2015 in accordance with applicable provisions of Delaware law that authorize the completion of the Merger without a vote or meeting of stockholders of the Company. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding Share not tendered in the Offer (other than Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company, or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, or Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser completed the Offer and the Merger for $3.60 per Share for the outstanding Shares. Each restricted stock unit (RSU) that was outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash, equal to the product of (x) the Offer Price and (y) the number of Shares subject to the cancelled RSU (with the number of shares subject to each outstanding RSU subject to performance-based vesting criteria assuming achievement of applicable performance goals at the target level) immediately prior to the Effective Time. Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company continued as the surviving corporation and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was included 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 November 12, 2015, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On December 18, 2015, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified the NYSE of its intent to remove the Shares from listing on the NYSE and requested that the NYSE file a delisting application with the SEC to delist and deregister the Shares. The NYSE intends to promptly file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Shares. The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the deregistration of the Shares and the suspension of the Companys reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
