Item 3. |
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
As more fully described in Item 4 hereof, Abbott, the Purchaser and Facet entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 9, 2010 (the Merger Agreement), a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the Offer) to purchase all of the outstanding Shares, at a price of $27.00 per share (the Offer Price), in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, on March 23, 2010 upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an offer to purchase dated March 23, 2010 (as amended, the Offer to Purchase) that was filed by the Purchaser with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in the letter of transmittal related to the Offer to Purchase (the Letter of Transmittal).
The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on April 19, 2010. On April 20, 2010, the Purchaser accepted for purchase all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in connection with the Offer. An aggregate of 19,257,669 Shares were purchased by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer at a price of $27.00 per Share. The Purchaser paid an aggregate of $519,957,063 to holders of Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer, which was funded through Abbotts existing cash balances and cash equivalents.
On April 21, 2010, the Purchaser exercised the Top-Up Option (as defined in the Merger Agreement) under the Merger Agreement and purchased 62,652,055 newly-issued Shares from Facet at the Offer Price, and paid the purchase price for such Shares by paying $626,520.55 in cash (which was funded through Abbotts existing cash |
balances and cash equivalents) to Facet, which cash amount was equal to the par value of such Shares, and issuing a promissory note to Facet in the amount of $1,690,978,964.45.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, also on April 21, 2010, Abbott effected a short-form merger (the Merger) in accordance with Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL). In the Merger, the Purchaser was merged with and into Facet with Facet continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbott. At the effective time of the Merger, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than Shares owned by Facet, any wholly-owned subsidiary of Facet, Abbott or the Purchaser, and Shares held by dissenting stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under the DGCL) was converted into the right to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes. The Purchaser will pay up to an aggregate of $161,460,918 to holders of Shares acquired pursuant to the Merger, which will be funded through Abbotts existing cash balances and cash equivalents. |
|
|
|
Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction |
The purpose of the Offer and the Merger is to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, Facet.
On March 23, 2010, the Purchaser commenced the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal. The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on April 19, 2010. All Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn were accepted for purchase by the Purchaser on April 20, 2010.
On April 21, 2010, the Purchaser exercised the Top-Up Option under the Merger Agreement and purchased 62,652,055 newly-issued Shares from Facet at the Offer Price. The Shares purchased pursuant to the Top-Up Option, together with the Shares accepted for purchase upon expiration of the Offer, constituted more than 90% of the Shares (determined on a fully diluted basis) that were outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Top-Up Option. As a result, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on April 21, 2010, Abbott effected the Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL, which provides that, if a corporation owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of a subsidiary corporation, the corporation holding such stock may merge such subsidiary into itself, or itself into such subsidiary, without any action or vote on the part of the board of directors or the stockholders of such other corporation. In the Merger, the Purchaser was merged with and into Facet with Facet continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbott. At the effective time of the Merger, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than Shares owned by Facet, any wholly-owned subsidiary of Facet, Abbott or the Purchaser, and Shares held by dissenting stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under the DGCL) was converted into the right to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes.
As a result of the Merger, the Shares are no longer traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, there is no public market for the Shares and registration of the Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated.
As of the date of this Schedule 13D, and except as otherwise provided in the Offer to Purchase, the business and operations of Facet have been continued substantially as they were being conducted prior to the Merger. Abbott intends to conduct a comprehensive review of Facets business, operations, capitalization and management with a view to optimizing the development of Facets potential in conjunction with Abbotts existing business.

Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) (b) As of April 21, 2010, prior to the effective time of the Merger the Purchaser was the direct record owner of and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to, and each other Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own and have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to, 81,909,724 Shares, representing approximately 93.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares. As of April 21, 2010, following the effective time of the Merger Abbott was the direct record owner of and may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,000 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interest of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) On April 20, 2010, the Purchaser accepted for purchase all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in connection with the Offer. An aggregate of 19,257,669 Shares were purchased by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer at $27.00 per Share. On April 21, 2010, the Purchaser exercised the Top-Up Option under the Merger Agreement and purchased 62,652,055 newly-issued Shares at the Offer Price. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on April 21, 2010, Abbott effected the Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL. In the Merger, the Purchaser was merged with and into Facet with Facet continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbott. At the effective time of the Merger, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than Shares owned by Facet, any wholly-owned subsidiary of Facet, Abbott or the Purchaser, and Shares held by dissenting stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under the DGCL) was converted into the right to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes. Prior to the Merger, Abbott held 1,000 shares of the common stock, no par value per share, of the Purchaser (the Purchaser Shares), which represented all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Purchaser. At the effective time of the Merger, each Purchaser Share was converted into one share of common stock of Facet, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, and as a result Abbott acquired 100% of the equity interest of Facet. Except as described in this Schedule 13D, no transactions in Shares were effected by Abbott or the Purchaser or, to the knowledge of Abbott or the Purchaser, any person identified in Annex I hereto, during the 60 days prior to the date hereof.
