Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On November 18, 2014, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated September 3, 2014, by and among Bolt Technology Corporation, a Connecticut corporation ("Bolt"), Teledyne Technologies Incorporated ("Teledyne") and Lightning Merger Sub, Inc., a Connecticut corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Teledyne (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into Bolt with Bolt continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, Bolt became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teledyne and changed its name to "Teledyne Bolt, Inc." Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Bolt’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares owned by Bolt (or held in Bolt's treasury), Teledyne or Merger Sub or any of their direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries) was converted automatically into the right to receive the merger consideration of $22.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding. Additionally, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase common stock of Bolt (whether vested or unvested) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of $22.00 over the exercise price of such option, and each outstanding share of restricted stock vested and was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $22.00, in each case without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

The anticipated aggregate consideration paid by Teledyne to consummate the Merger is approximately $171 million, taking into account Bolt’s stock options and net cash. The purchase price paid by Teledyne was funded by (i) borrowings under Teledyne’s existing credit facility and (ii) cash on hand. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Teledyne's Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on September 4, 2014. A press release announcing the completion of the Merger is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.
