IDT Announces Extension of Exchange Offer Expiration Date in PLX Technology Transaction
November 09 2012 - 4:01PM
Business Wire
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the
Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal
semiconductor solutions, today announced that it is extending the
expiration date of its exchange offer for all outstanding shares of
common stock of PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLXT). The exchange
offer was previously scheduled to expire at the end of the day on
November 9, 2012, at 12:00 midnight, New York City time. The
exchange offer is being extended as the applicable waiting period
pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976 (“HSR Act”) has not yet expired or been terminated, and the
exchange offer is now set to expire at the end of the day on
December 10, 2012, at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, unless
further extended. Approximately 19.4 million shares, or
approximately 43.1% of PLX’s outstanding common stock, had been
tendered as of 12:00 midnight at the end of the day on November 8,
2012.
Correspondingly, in order for the trustee of the PLX Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to be instructed in a timely manner
to tender or not tender all or a portion of the shares allocated to
such participant’s account under the ESOP, each participant in the
ESOP must complete and return the ESOP instruction form previously
provided to participants so that it is received by Computershare,
the tabulation agent for the offer, not later than 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on December 5, 2012, unless the offer is further
extended.
As previously announced on May 22, 2012, IDT commenced an
exchange offer to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of
PLX for (i) $3.50 in cash and (ii) 0.525 shares of IDT common stock
for each PLX common share outstanding, without interest and less
any applicable withholding taxes. The exchange offer is being made
pursuant to a Prospectus/Offer to Purchase, dated May 22, 2012, and
in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 30,
2012, which IDT and PLX previously announced on April 30, 2012. As
previously announced, on May 7, 2012, in connection with the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, which contemplates the exchange offer
for all outstanding shares of PLX common stock, followed by a
second step merger, IDT and PLX made premerger filings under the
HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Antitrust
Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Effective June 5, 2012,
following consultation with the FTC and PLX, IDT voluntarily
withdrew its Notification and Report Form with respect to the
exchange offer and the merger. IDT re-filed its Notification and
Report form on June 6, 2012. On July 6, 2012, IDT and PLX each
received a request for additional information from the FTC (the
“Second Request”). This Second Request extends the waiting period
applicable to the exchange offer under the HSR Act, which was set
to expire on July 6, 2012 at 11:59 p.m., New York City time. The
waiting period is extended until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
the thirtieth day (or the next business day) after both IDT and PLX
substantially comply with the Second Request, as specified by the
HSR Act and the implementing rules, unless further extended by
agreement with the parties.
