TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Pursuant to an Agreement of Merger, dated as of November 29, 2010 (the Merger
Agreement), by and among Mellanox Technologies, Ltd., a public company formed under the laws of
Israel (Mellanox), Mondial Acquisition Corporation Ltd., a private company formed under the laws
of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mellanox (Merger Sub), and Voltaire Ltd., a public
company formed under the laws of Israel (Voltaire), Merger Sub merged with and into Voltaire and
Voltaire became a wholly owned subsidiary of Mellanox (the Merger). The Merger was consummated
on February 7, 2011 (the Effective Time).
At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Mellanox assumed each option to
purchase ordinary shares of Voltaire and each restricted share unit of Voltaire granted under
Voltaires 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan, 2003 Section 102 Stock Option/Stock Purchase Plan,
2001 Section 102 Stock Option/Stock Purchase Plan, and 2001 Stock Option Plan, in each case, as
amended, that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than options or
restricted share units held by a director or other person who was not an employee of, or consultant
to, Voltaire or its subsidiaries as of the Effective Time).
Effective as of the Effective Time, Mellanox adopted the Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. Global
Share Incentive Assumption Plan (2010) (the Assumption Plan). The Assumption Plan permits the
grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted share units and other equity awards, but, in
accordance with NASDAQ listing requirements, Mellanox may grant new equity awards under the
Assumption Plan only to employees or other service providers who were employed by Voltaire or one
of its subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and to individuals who become employees or service
providers of Mellanox or its affiliates for the first time after the Effective Time.
Under the Assumption Plan, an aggregate of 1,266,991 ordinary shares of Mellanox are reserved
for issuance. In the event any outstanding equity awards under Voltaires 2007 Incentive
Compensation Plan, as amended, assumed by the Registrant pursuant to the Merger Agreement
terminate, expire or otherwise lapse for any reason following the effective date of the Assumption
Plan, such number of ordinary shares (as adjusted by the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger
Agreement) subject to such equity awards that terminate, expire or otherwise lapse will become
available for issuance pursuant to the Assumption Plan. On the first day of each year beginning
January 1, 2012, the number of shares available for issuance under the Assumption Plan will
increase by an amount equal to 281,625 ordinary shares or any lesser amount determined by
Mellanoxs board of directors prior to the date of the increase.
In the event of, among other things, a sale of substantially all of the voting stock of
Mellanox, a merger involving Mellanox, the sale of substantially all of the assets of Mellanox, or
a liquidation or dissolution of Mellanox, equity awards may be assumed or substituted by a
successor entity. In the event that a successor entity does not provide for the assumption or
substitution of such equity awards, the equity awards will become fully vested and all forfeiture
restrictions with respect to such equity awards shall lapse.
The board of directors of Mellanox may terminate or amend the Assumption Plan at any time
subject to applicable law. The summary of the Assumption Plan contained herein is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Assumption Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition of Disposition of Assets.
On February 7, 2011, Mellanox completed its previously announced acquisition of
Voltaire. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Voltaire,
with Voltaire surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mellanox. As consideration for the Merger
and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding ordinary shares of Voltaire were
exchanged for the right to receive a cash amount equal to US$8.75, without interest. The total
cash purchase price is approximately $208 million (approximately $175 million net of cash).
Mellanox also assumed Voltaires outstanding equity awards, which were converted into equity awards
to acquire an aggregate of 649,614 ordinary shares of Mellanox.
Following the consummation of the Merger, the ordinary shares of Voltaire ceased to be traded
on The NASDAQ Global Select Market and Mellanox will file an application to terminate the
registration of the ordinary shares of Voltaire under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
