Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of October 21, 2003 by and among FLIR Systems, Inc. (“FLIR), Indigo Systems Corporation (“Indigo”), Fiji Sub, Inc. (“Sub”), and William Parrish, as Shareholders’ Agent, Sub was merged with and into Indigo (the “Merger”) effective as of January 6, 2004 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, Indigo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLIR.

 

At the Effective Time, all outstanding shares of Indigo capital stock and certain warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $25.3537 per share, or an aggregate of $165,477,886 (the “Cash Consideration”). Each option to purchase Indigo capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed by FLIR. Approximately 710,000 shares of FLIR common stock are issuable by FLIR upon the exercise of the Indigo stock options assumed by FLIR in the Merger. Ninety percent of the Cash Consideration will be paid out following the Merger with the remaining ten percent held in an escrow account, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, to satisfy indemnification claims against Indigo, if any. FLIR funded the cash portion of the consideration payable in the Merger through cash-on-hand.

 

The amount of the consideration paid in the Merger was determined through arms-length negotiations between representatives of FLIR and Indigo. Prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, no material relationship existed between FLIR and Indigo or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of FLIR, or any associate of any such director or officer.

 

Prior to the Merger, Indigo was a privately held company that focused on developing and supplying advanced infrared cameras and components, covering the entire infrared spectrum, including near-, midwave-, and longwave-IR. Indigo has provided IR cameras, software, and enclosurer solutions for commercial, industrial, security, military and R&D applications.
