Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Other Events
On December 10, 2012, Intermec, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), announced on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Honeywell"), and Hawkeye Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell ("Merger Sub") (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Honeywell will acquire the Company in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $600 million, net of debt and cash acquired (the "Merger"). A copy of the Merger Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to such Form 8-K (the "Merger 8-K"). The Merger is expected to close before the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2013.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, outstanding equity awards granted to employees, executive officers and other service providers under the Company's equity plans will not be converted, assumed or substituted by Honeywell. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each Company stock option outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, whether or not then vested and exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, for each share of common stock subject to such stock option, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the right to receive $10.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration") over the per share exercise price of such stock option. In addition, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, other issued and outstanding equity-based awards outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will become fully vested and payable, as applicable, and all applicable forfeiture or other restrictions will lapse, immediately prior to the Merger, and, in full settlement thereof, each holder will be entitled to receive, for each share of Company common stock subject thereto or payable thereunder, as applicable, the Merger Consideration. As disclosed in the Merger 8-K, Intermec plans to file with the SEC and mail to stockholders a proxy statement in connection with the merger transaction, which will include, among other details, certain information about the treatment of outstanding equity awards in the Merger.
See Item 5.02 above.
