Item 2.01. | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On November 21, 2012, Cray Inc., a Washington corporation (Cray), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Astro Acquisition Corp., a California corporation (Sub), consummated its acquisition of Appro International, Inc., a California corporation (Appro), pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated November 8, 2012, by and among Cray, Sub, Appro and Geun-Bum (Daniel) Kim, as the Shareholders Agent. The aggregate merger consideration paid to Appros securityholders, including holders of vested and outstanding options to purchase shares of Appro common stock, was equal to approximately $21.8 million in cash, which reflects certain transaction expenses paid and working capital adjustments that were made in connection with the acquisition and as are set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Sub merged (the Merger) with and into Appro with Appro continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cray after the Merger. As a result of the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger: (i) each share of Appro capital stock (other than dissenting shares and shares owned by Appro) was automatically converted into a right to receive a portion of the merger consideration as allocated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (ii) all vested and outstanding options to purchase shares of Appro common stock were canceled in exchange for the right to receive a portion of the merger consideration; and (iii) an amount of cash equal to approximately $3.1 million of the merger consideration was placed in escrow as security for the indemnification obligations of the Appro shareholders as set forth in an escrow agreement and the Merger Agreement.
In addition, certain of Appros former employees who continue in employment with Cray will be eligible to participate in a new Cray Bonus Plan (the Bonus Plan) that became effective as of the date of the Merger. Employees who participate in the Bonus Plan will be eligible to receive cash bonuses contingent upon achievement of certain performance metrics related to the contribution of Appros business to Cray during fiscal 2013 and 2014. The aggregate maximum amount of cash bonuses payable under the Bonus Plan is capped at $10.6 million.
A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.
