(“ Katelia Capital ”), The Katelia Trust (the “ Trust ”), Butterfield Trust (Switzerland) Limited (the “ Trustee ”) and Laurent Asscher (“ L. Asscher ”) (the “ Initial Schedule 13D ”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on April 7, 2011 (“ Amendment No.  1 ”), and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on February 2, 2017 (“ Amendment No.  2 ”). Katelia Capital, the Trust, the Trustee and L. Asscher are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “ Reporting Persons .” Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the initial Schedule 13D (as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the “ Schedule 13D ”).

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

On April 18, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), Keysight Technologies, Inc. (“Keysight”) acquired the Issuer pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 30, 2017 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among the Issuer, Keysight, and, by a joinder dated February 2, 2017, Keysight Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Keysight (“ Merger Sub ”). On the Closing Date, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger (the “ Merger ”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Keysight. At the effective time of the Merger (the “ Effective Time ”):

 

    each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than, if any, shares owned by Keysight or Merger Sub, or by any subsidiary of Keysight, Merger Sub, or the Issuer (except to the extent held on behalf of a third party)), was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $19.65 per share in cash (the “ per share merger consideration ”), without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law;

 

    each restricted stock unit award (“ RSU ”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically became fully vested and was cancelled in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such RSU and (b) the per share merger consideration, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law; and

 

    each stock option that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically became fully vested (to the extent not then vested) and was cancelled in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such cancelled stock option and (b) the excess, if any, of (1) the per share merger consideration over (2) the exercise price per share of such cancelled stock option, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law.

Asscher were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the aggregate amount of $1,179,530.55 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law, (iii) 2,428 RSUs held by L. Asscher immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically became fully vested and were cancelled in consideration of the right to receive a cash payment in the aggregate amount of $47,710, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law, and (iv) outstanding and unexercised stock options to purchase an aggregate of 76,000 shares of Common Stock held by L. Asscher immediately prior to the Effective Time became fully vested (to the extent not then vested) and were cancelled in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment in the aggregate amount of $535,630, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law.
