This Amendment No. 7 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this
Amendment
), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2010, amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on June 11, 2010 (the
Schedule TO
), and relates to
a tender offer by COV Delaware Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
Offeror
) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Covidien Group S.a.r.l., a Luxembourg company (
Parent
), to purchase all of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
Shares
), of ev3 Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company
), at a purchase price of $22.50 per Share, paid to the seller in cash, without interest thereon,
less any applicable withholding taxes, and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 11, 2010 (the
Offer to Purchase
) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the
Letter of
Transmittal
which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the
Offer
). This Amendment is being filed on behalf of the Offeror and Parent.
The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are filed with the Schedule TO as
Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, is incorporated by reference in answers to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided herein.
ITEM 11.
|
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
|
Item 11 of
this Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight (New York
City time) at the end of July 9, 2010. The Depositary for the Offer has advised Parent and the Offeror that as of 12:00 midnight (New York City time) at the end of July 9, 2010, approximately 100,814,535 Shares had been validly tendered
and not withdrawn from the Offer, representing a total of 87.68% of the 114,980,104 outstanding Shares as of July 9, 2010. Additionally, the Depositary has advised Parent and the Offeror that an additional 4,246,384 Shares had been tendered by
notice of guaranteed delivery. The Offeror has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered in the Offer (but not including any Shares tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Offeror has exercised its option to purchase directly from the Company an additional
number of Shares sufficient to give the Offeror ownership of at least 90% of the Companys then outstanding Shares, when combined with the Shares purchased by the Offeror in the Offer. On July 12, 2010, the Offeror purchased an additional
26,675,587 Shares from the Company at a purchase price of $22.50 per Share, which together with the Shares purchased in the Offer (but not including any Shares tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery), represented at least 90% of outstanding
Shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Offeror merged with and into the Company through a short form
merger under Delaware law, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. By virtue of the Merger, each issued and outstanding Share (other than Shares held as treasury stock, Shares held by Parent
or Offeror or Shares held by stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $22.50 in cash per outstanding Share, without interest, less any applicable
withholding taxes.
On July 12, 2010, Covidien plc, the parent company of Parent and the Offeror, issued two press
releases announcing the completion of the Offer and the Merger, respectively. The full text of the press releases are attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(G) and Exhibit (a)(5)(H) and are incorporated herein by reference.
