Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 10, 2019, Inphi Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Einstein Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), eSilicon Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“eSilicon”) and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as Securityholders' Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into eSilicon and eSilicon will be the surviving corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The aggregate consideration to be paid by the Company in connection with the Merger will be $216 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments including for cash, debt, working capital and transaction expenses, as well as the assumption of certain liabilities at the closing of the Merger. A portion of the consideration will be placed in an escrow fund for 12 months (or up to 36 months in certain circumstances) following the closing for the satisfaction of certain indemnification obligations. In connection with the Merger, eSilicon has also entered into agreements to sell its Vietnamese and Indian subsidiaries to Synopsys, Inc. prior to closing the Merger.
Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other regulatory approvals.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential Disclosure Schedules provided by eSilicon in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. The confidential Disclosure Schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the parties.
On November 11, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the transaction. A copy of the release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
