Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 17, 2016 (as amended on November 10, 2016, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Ingram Micro Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ingram Micro” or the “Company”), Tianjin Tianhai Investment Company, Ltd., a joint stock company existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (“Tianjin Tianhai”) and GCL Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), on December 5, 2016, Merger Sub merged with and into Ingram Micro (the “Merger”), with Ingram Micro surviving the Merger as an indirect, controlled subsidiary of Tianjin Tianhai. Tianjin Tianhai’s largest shareholder is HNA Logistics Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of HNA Group Co., Ltd. (“HNA Group”), a privately held, limited company existing under the laws of the PRC.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on December 5, 2016, each share of Ingram Micro’s Class A common stock (“common stock”), other than (i) shares held by Ingram Micro (other than shares in an Ingram Micro employee plan) or owned by Tianjin Tianhai or any of its subsidiaries, or held by any subsidiary of Ingram Micro, and (ii) shares held by holders who have perfected and not withdrawn demands for, or lost the right to, appraisal rights under Delaware law (the shares in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively being referred to as “Excluded Shares”), was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive $38.90 in cash (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

 

The description of the Merger Agreement and Merger contained in this Introduction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 of Ingram Micro’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 17, 2016 and Exhibit 2.1 of Ingram Micro’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 10, 2016.

As a result of the Merger, each share of Ingram Micro’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and, other than the Excluded Shares, was converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. Accordingly, on December 5, 2016, Ingram Micro notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that shares of Ingram Micro’s common stock should be removed from listing on the NYSE and requested that the NYSE file with the SEC a Form 25 to report the delisting of Ingram Micro’s common stock from the NYSE. Shares of Ingram Micro’s common stock will be removed from listing on the NYSE prior to market open on December 6, 2016. Also, on December 5, 2016, the NYSE filed the Form 25 with the SEC in order to provide notification of such delisting and to effect the deregistration of Ingram Micro’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

 

As a result of the consummation of the Merger on December 5, 2016, each share of Ingram Micro’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior the effective time of the Merger (other than the Excluded Shares) was converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

 

At the effective time of the Merger: (i) each outstanding share of common stock (other than Excluded Shares) was converted into the Per Share Merger Consideration, (ii) each of the Company’s fully vested options was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such option, (ii) each of the Company’s fully vested restricted stock units was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, (iii) each of the Company’s unvested options was cancelled, and the holder became eligible to receive an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such option, payable in installments pursuant to a vesting schedule set forth in the Merger Agreement and (iv) each share of the Company’s restricted stock and each of the Company’s unvested restricted stock units was cancelled, and the holder became eligible to receive an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration for each such cancelled share pursuant to a vesting schedule set forth in the Merger Agreement. With respect to any of the Company’s restricted stock units that were subject to the achievement of performance metrics, such performance metrics were deemed to have been achieved at target as of the effective time of the Merger.

 

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant

 

The information set forth in the Introduction above and Item 5.02 below is incorporated herein by reference. Tianjin Tianhai funded the Per Share Merger Consideration through a combination of Tianjin Tianhai’s existing cash and cash equivalents, equity investments by other investors and debt financing. As of the effective time of the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ingram Micro is beneficially owned by Tianjin Tianhai.
