The transaction was consummated through a cash tender offer by the Purchaser for all outstanding shares of common stock, without par value, of the Company, followed by the “short-form” merger of the Purchaser with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company also disclosed that, on March 10, 2010, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (“U.S. Bank”) entered into supplemental indentures (the “Supplemental Indentures”) to amend (i) the Indenture, dated as of April 11, 2007 (the “1.625% Indenture”), governing the 1.625% Notes, and (ii) an Indenture, dated as of November 22, 2006 (the “2.00% Indenture” and together with the 1.625% Indenture, the “Indentures”), governing the 2.00% Notes, in order to set forth the conversion values for the Notes following the consummation of the Merger. As previously disclosed in the Offers to Repurchase, pursuant to the Supplemental Indentures the Company’s conversion obligation with respect to Notes that are converted at any time after the effective date of the Merger is fixed at an amount in cash based on a conversion value determined with a price per share of Company common stock of $93.50 (the Merger consideration).
