On March 14, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Zipcar, with Zipcar continuing as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") and as a result of the Merger, Zipcar became a wholly owned subsidiary of Avis Budget and each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Zipcar (the "Zipcar Common Stock") that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Zipcar Common Stock owned by Avis Budget, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries, or by Zipcar or any subsidiary of Zipcar and Zipcar Common Stock for which appraisal rights were validly exercised and not withdrawn) was converted into the right to receive $12.25 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"). Each option to purchase Zipcar Common Stock that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was accelerated, became fully vested and was cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an "Option") and each holder of an Option became entitled to receive, in cash, the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeded the exercise price of such Option multiplied by the number of shares of Zipcar Common Stock subject to such Option. Avis Budget financed the transaction with incremental borrowings as well as available cash.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. At the Effective Time, holders of shares of Zipcar Common Stock ceased to have any rights as stockholders of the Company (other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration).
In connection with the closing of the Merger, Zipcar notified the NASDAQ Stock
Market ("NASDAQ") on March 14, 2013 of the completion of the Merger and
requested that NASDAQ file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under
Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), on Form 25 to delist the Zipcar Common Stock. Additionally, Zipcar
intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act
requesting that the Zipcar Common Stock be deregistered and that Zipcar's
reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be
suspended.
