This Amendment No. 8 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this "Amendment"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 7, 2006, amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC on August 17, 2006 (the "Initial Statement"), as amended, and relates to the offer by Mars Landing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Offeror") and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.002 per share (the "Shares"), of Mercury Interactive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $52.00 per Share (or any higher price per Share that is paid in the tender offer), net to the seller in cash without interest thereon, less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 17, 2006 (which, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer"). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
The Offer is made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 25, 2006, among the Offeror, the Parent and the Company.
The information in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment by reference to all of the applicable items in the Initial Statement, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
Items 8 and 11. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company; Additional Information.
Items 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by including the following:
"On November 6, 2006, the guaranteed delivery period for the Offer expired. In the Offer, after giving effect to the settlement of Shares tendered by Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, 84,985,209 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 95.3 percent of the outstanding Shares.
On November 7, 2006, the Parent announced that the closing of the second step merger of the Offeror with and into the Company occurred on November 6, 2006. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding Share not tendered in the Offer (other than Shares held by the Company, the Parent, the Offeror or stockholders who properly perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive $52.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash without interest thereon, less any required withholding taxes. The Company is the Surviving Corporation and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent."
The full text of the press release announcing the closing of the Merger is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(viii) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference."
