Item 8.01 - Other Events
On September 9, 2014, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay") announced that it has acquired 88.95% of the outstanding shares of Taiwan-based Capella Microsystems (Taiwan), Inc. (GreTai Securities Market: 3582) ("Capella"), a fabless IC design company specializing in optoelectronic products, pursuant to its previously announced tender offer.
A total of 38,703,705 shares of Capella or 88.95% of outstanding shares were tendered and accepted by Vishay. The offer period expired on September 1, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, on September 9, 2014, Vishay paid NT$139 for each share tendered. The aggregate purchase price was NT$5.4 billion (approximately US$180 million). Vishay funded the acquisition mostly with cash on-hand, and borrowed $53 million on its revolving credit facility to achieve future flexibility given the legal entity and financial structure utilized for the acquisition. It is estimated that, as of August 31, 2014, Capella had cash and cash equivalents of NT$1,499 million (approximately US$50 million) and no long-term debt.
Vishay expects to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Capella pursuant to a merger agreement signed on July 11, 2014. In this merger, all remaining holders of Capella common stock other than Vishay and its subsidiaries will receive the same consideration for their shares as the holders who tendered their shares in the offer, or approximately US$22 million in the aggregate. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of January 2015. The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and clearances.
A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the tender offer is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
