Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
As previously reported, on March 17, 2013, Cynosure, Inc. (Cynosure), Commander Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cynosure (the Merger Subsidiary), and Palomar
Medical Technologies, Inc. (Palomar) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the Original Merger Agreement), providing for, among other things, the acquisition of Palomar by Cynosure through the merger (the
Merger) of Palomar with and into the Merger Subsidiary, with the Merger Subsidiary surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cynosure at the effective time of the Merger.
To facilitate Cynosures tax objectives, on May 15, 2013, Cynosure caused the conversion of the Merger Subsidiary from a
Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company and the Merger Subsidiarys name was changed to Commander Acquisition, LLC.
Also on May 15, 2013, Cynosure, the Merger Subsidiary and Palomar entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger (the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement) that
amended and restated the Original Merger Agreement for the purpose of implementing technical changes necessitated by the conversion of the Merger Subsidiary into a limited liability company. For a description of the material terms of the Amended and
Restated Merger Agreement, see the description of the material terms of the Original Merger Agreement included under Item 1.01 of Cynosures Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) on March 18, 2013. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Merger
Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01.
Financial Statements and Exhibits
See the Exhibit Index
attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
MERGER AGREEMENT
The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and
other terms, provisions and conditions that Cynosure and the other parties to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those terms, provisions and conditions were made solely for
purposes of the applicable agreement, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by Cynosure and the other parties to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement in connection with negotiating its terms. Moreover, they
may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to stockholders or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between Cynosure and the other parties to the Amended and
Restated Merger Agreement rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, no person should rely on such representations, warranties, covenants or other terms, provisions or conditions as statements of factual information at the
time they were made or otherwise.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER WITH PALOMAR AND WHERE TO FIND IT
