Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 12, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire Denali Software, Inc. (“Denali”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cadence will merge with and into Denali (the “Merger”), with Denali continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cadence after the Merger.
The total consideration payable to Denali equity holders is equal to $315,000,000. The total consideration amount will be decreased by specified expense amounts and also may be decreased if the amount of Denali’s cash and cash equivalents on the closing date of the Merger is less than $50,000,000, as determined in accordance with and for purposes of the Merger Agreement, including adjustments for certain permitted transaction expenses or other expenses related to the Merger, or if such Merger-related expenses exceed specified limits (the total consideration amount as adjusted, the “Merger Consideration”). Denali is expected to have approximately $45,000,000 in actual cash on the closing date of the Merger.
At the time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”), each share of Denali common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the total consideration divided by the fully-diluted number of shares of Denali common stock as calculated pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Per Share Amount”) and each option to purchase Denali common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Per Share Amount minus the applicable per share option exercise price. Cash payable with respect to unvested options and shares will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. Fifteen percent of the Merger Consideration will be deposited in an escrow account for a period of 18 months after the Effective Time, as security for indemnification claims Cadence may have under the Merger Agreement.
The closing of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by either Cadence or Denali upon the occurrence of certain events, including if the Merger has not closed by August 13, 2010, which may automatically be extended to November 13, 2010, if certain conditions are satisfied, or by written consent of both Cadence and Denali.
On the Effective Date, certain shareholders of Denali delivered written consents to Denali approving the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Item 5.07. Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
