SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland,
May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tyco
International Ltd. (NYSE: TYC) ("Tyco") announced today the
preliminary results of the merger consideration elections made by
shareholders of Brink's Home Security Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CFL)
("BHS") as to the form of merger consideration they wish to receive
in connection with the acquisition of BHS by Tyco. Tyco
anticipates closing the acquisition on May
14, 2010, assuming that BHS shareholders approve the
transaction at a special meeting scheduled for May 12, 2010.
Based on available information, as of the election deadline of
5:00 p.m. New York Time on
May 7, 2010, the preliminary results of election are as
follows:
- All Cash Elections: Elections to receive 100% cash for
each share of BHS common stock were made with respect to
approximately 37,268,906 shares of BHS common stock (approximately
81.2% of the outstanding shares of BHS common stock);
- All Stock Elections: Elections to receive 100% of Tyco
common stock for each share of BHS common stock were made with
respect to approximately 1,176,135 shares of BHS common stock
(approximately 2.6% of the outstanding shares of BHS common
stock);
- Mixed Elections: Elections to receive a combination of
cash and Tyco common stock for each share of BHS common stock were
made with respect to approximately 1,862,189 shares of BHS common
stock (approximately 4.1% of the outstanding shares of BHS common
stock); and
- Non-Elections: No election was made with respect to
approximately 5,565,250 shares of BHS common stock (approximately
12.1% of the outstanding shares of BHS common stock). BHS
shares with respect to which no election was made will be treated
as Mixed Election shares.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, for each share of BHS
common stock, BHS shareholders had the option to elect to receive:
(1) $42.50 in cash, subject to
proration if the elections resulted in total cash consideration
exceeding approximately 30% of the total merger consideration (as
described below); (2) a combination of $12.75 in cash and a fraction of a Tyco share
equal to $29.75 divided by
$38.81, which is the volume-weighted
average price of Tyco's stock during the 10 consecutive trading
days ending on May 7, 2010 (the
"10-Day VWAP"), subject to a collar between $32.97 and $40.29; or (3) Tyco shares equal to
$42.50 divided by the 10-Day VWAP,
subject to the same collar described in (2). In the event
that the aggregate amount of cash elected by BHS shareholders in
the merger exceeds, in the aggregate, approximately $584.5 million (or approximately 30% of the total
consideration to be paid to BHS shareholders) (the "Available Cash
Amount"), BHS shareholders making all-cash elections would be
subject to proration such that they would receive a mix of cash and
Tyco shares for their shares of BHS common stock in amounts that
would allow the overall cash consideration to be paid by Tyco to be
capped at the Available Cash Amount.
Based on the preliminary information above and the terms of the
merger agreement, and assuming for purposes of these calculations
that the number of issued and outstanding shares of BHS common
stock immediately prior to the merger equals the number of shares
outstanding on the closing date of the merger:
- BHS shareholders who made valid all-cash elections will
receive, for each share subject to such election, $13.15 in cash and 0.7562 shares of Tyco common
stock, with the number of Tyco shares to be received being
determined by subtracting $13.15 from
$42.50 and dividing the result by the
10-Day VWAP of $38.81;
- BHS shareholders who made valid elections to receive all stock
consideration will receive, for each share subject to such
election, 1.0951 Tyco shares, with the number of Tyco shares to be
received being determined by dividing $42.50 by the 10-Day VWAP of $38.81;
- BHS shareholders electing mixed cash and stock consideration,
and shareholders that failed to make an election, will receive, for
each share subject to such election, $12.75 in cash and 0.7666 Tyco shares, with the
number of Tyco shares to be received being determined by dividing
$29.75 by the 10-day VWAP of
$38.81.
The final results of the merger consideration elections are
expected to be announced on May 14,
2010. Pursuant to the merger agreement between Tyco and BHS,
fractional shares of Tyco common stock will not be issued. In lieu
thereof, BHS shareholders will receive cash for their fractional
share interests in accordance with the terms of the merger
agreement.
