ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 18, 2010, Intel Corporation (“Intel”), McAfee, Inc. (“McAfee”) and Jefferson Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into McAfee. As a result of the merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and McAfee will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel.
Upon the consummation of the merger, each share of McAfee common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger (other than (i) shares owned by McAfee, Intel or Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of the foregoing, and (ii) shares to which appraisal rights are properly sought) and, subject to certain exceptions, each share of McAfee common stock subject to restricted stock awards, vested restricted stock unit awards and vested performance stock unit awards will be converted into the right to receive $48.00 in cash, without interest. Subject to certain exceptions, options to acquire McAfee common stock, unvested restricted stock units and unvested performance units outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger will be converted into options, restricted stock units and performance units, as applicable, denominated in shares of Intel common stock based on formulas set forth in the Merger Agreement with terms and conditions that are otherwise the same as those existing immediately prior to the consummation of the merger.
The completion of the merger is subject to customary conditions, including without limitation, (i) the approval of the merger by McAfee’s stockholders; (ii) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iii) clearance of the merger by the European Commission and (iv) receipt of other required foreign antitrust approvals.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for McAfee and Intel, including, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if McAfee’s Board of Directors determines to accept a “Superior Proposal” (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, McAfee may be required to pay Intel a termination fee of $230.0 million.
The above description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement. The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for the purposes of the agreement as of specific dates and may have been qualified by certain disclosures between the parties and a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders, among other limitations. The representations and warranties were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement and should not be relied upon as a disclosure of factual information relating to Intel or McAfee. The Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
