On August 2, 2016, Cavium issued a press release announcing that the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) in connection with its proposed acquisition of QLogic Corporation (“QLogic”) occurred at 11:59 p.m. EST on July 29, 2016.
As previously announced, Cavium has entered into a merger agreement under which Cavium will acquire QLogic for $11.00 in cash and 0.098 shares of Cavium common stock for each share of QLogic common stock, through an exchange offer (the “Offer”) followed by a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Cavium with and into QLogic. The expiration of the HSR Act waiting period satisfies one of the conditions required to consummate the Offer. The closing of the Offer remains subject to other customary conditions, including the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of QLogic common stock.
The Offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of August 9, 2016, unless earlier extended or terminated. The terms and conditions of the Offer are described in the exchange offer documents, which have been mailed to QLogic stockholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
