Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 10, 2009, Zila, Inc. (ZILA) issued a press release announcing that the Board of
Directors of ZILA (the Board) has carefully reviewed a non-binding contingent proposal submitted
by Intelident Solutions Inc. (Intelident) to ZILA on July 7, 2009 to acquire all of ZILAs common
stock for $0.42 per share. The Board concluded that the Intelident proposal is not superior to
ZILAs existing agreement to be acquired by TOLMAR Holding, Inc. (TOLMAR), which ZILA announced
on June 25, 2009.
A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Important Additional Information and Where to Find It
On July 2, 2009, ZILA filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a
preliminary proxy statement relating to the proposed merger with TOLMAR. ZILA intends to file a
definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials with the SEC in the near future. These
materials will also be mailed to ZILAs stockholders. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY
STATEMENT AND RELATED MATERIALS IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. SUCH MATERIALS WILL
CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ZILA, TOLMAR AND THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTION, AND
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THEM BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISIONS IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTION.
ZILAs stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement for the proposed
merger (when it is available) and other documents filed with the SEC by ZILA through the website
maintained by the SEC at
www.sec.gov
. In addition, ZILAs stockholders will be able to obtain free
copies of the proxy statement and other materials filed with the SEC by contacting Zila, Inc.,
16430 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 450, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85254-1770, Attention: Gary V.
Klinefelter, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary or by calling (602) 266-6700. Neither
this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the press release filed as an exhibit hereto constitutes an
offer of any securities of ZILA for sale or the solicitation of any proxy.
ZILA, its directors, executive officers and other members of its management and employees may
be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from ZILAs stockholders in favor of
the proposed merger with TOLMAR. Information regarding ZILAs directors and executive officers and
their respective interests in the proposed merger (which may be different from those of ZILAs
stockholders generally) is included in the proxy statements, the Annual Reports on Form 10-K and
the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that ZILA has previously filed with the SEC. When it becomes
available, the definitive proxy statement relating to the proposed merger will include information
regarding all of ZILAs participants in the solicitation of proxies in favor of approving the
merger. Stockholders of ZILA can obtain free copies of these documents by using the contact
information provided above.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on ZILAs expectations or forecasts of future
events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions and are subject to various business risks and
known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond ZILAs control. Forward-looking
statements
include, but are not limited to, statements about the proposed merger involving ZILA and
TOLMAR and other statements that are not historical facts. The following factors, among others,
could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the
failure of ZILAs stockholders to approve the proposed merger; the failure of ZILA or TOLMAR to
satisfy any other condition to the completion of the proposed merger; and the risk that the
proposed merger will be delayed. Additional factors that may affect future results are discussed
in ZILAs Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 30, 2009. ZILA disclaims any obligation to update and/or revise statements contained in
these materials based on new information or otherwise.
