Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, Invuity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Invuity”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 10, 2018, with Stryker Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Stryker”), Accipiter Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stryker (“Purchaser”).

In connection with the completion of the Merger (as defined below), on October 23, 2018, all amounts due and owing under (i) that certain Credit and Security Agreement (Revolving Loan) (the “Revolving Loan Credit Agreement”), dated as of March 10, 2017, as amended, by and among Invuity, the various financial institutions party thereto and MidCap Funding IV Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and (ii) that certain Credit and Security Agreement (Term Loan) (together with the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), dated as of March 10, 2017, as amended, by and among Invuity, the various financial institutions party thereto and MidCap Financial Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, were paid and the Credit Agreements were terminated. The material terms of the Credit Agreements are described in the section entitled “Item 1. Financial Statements—Notes to Condensed Financial Statements—Debt” in Invuity’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 3, 2018, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on September 24, 2018, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Invuity (the “Shares”), for $7.40 per Share in cash, without interest, and subject to any required withholding of taxes (the “Offer Price”).

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight Eastern Time at the end of the day on October 22, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”). Computershare Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as depositary and paying agent for the Offer, indicated that a total of 19,701,279 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as of the Expiration Date, representing approximately 81.67% of the outstanding Shares. The number of Shares tendered satisfied the condition of the Offer that there be validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date such number of Shares that, when added to the Shares already owned by Stryker or Purchaser or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Stryker, constitutes a majority of the then outstanding Shares. All other conditions of the Offer having been satisfied, on October 23, 2018, Purchaser accepted for payment and will promptly pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

On October 23, 2018, Stryker completed its acquisition of Invuity pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. On such date, Purchaser merged with and into Invuity (the “Merger”), without a vote of the stockholders of Invuity in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), with Invuity continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stryker. As of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger, each issued and outstanding Share (other than Shares (i) owned by Invuity as treasury stock or owned by Stryker or Purchaser, which Shares were automatically cancelled and retired and ceased to exist, or (ii) held by any person who was entitled to and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) was converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price, payable to the holder thereof in cash, without interest. As a result of the Merger, Invuity will cease to be a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), and Invuity intends to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to suspend all of Invuity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.

The aggregate cash consideration to be paid in the Offer and the Merger is approximately $228.0 million (including payments for options, restricted stock units and all outstanding principal, interest and other amounts due under the Credit Agreements).

The foregoing descriptions of the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement in this Item 2.01 do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Invuity’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 11, 2018, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth in Items 3.03, 5.01 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Item 3.01

Invuity intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination on Form 15 requesting the deregistration of the Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and that Invuity’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

At the Effective Time, Purchaser merged with and into Invuity, with Invuity continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker.
