Final Results of the Offer and Completion of the Merger

 

The Offer expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on July 22, 2014.  SanDisk announced that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 66,901,782 Shares, representing approximately 61.02% of the outstanding Shares at such time, had been validly tendered into and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. In addition, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer, advised that it received commitments to tender to Merger Sub 6,879,953 additional shares under the guaranteed delivery procedures in the Offer prior to the expiration of the initial offering period representing approximately 6.27% of the outstanding Shares.  Following the expiration of the Offer, on July 23, 2014, Merger Sub accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered in, and not withdrawn from, the Offer according to the terms and conditions of the Offer.

 

On July 23, 2014, SanDisk consummated the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL.  Fusion-io’s common stock will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, and Fusion-io will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC on account of the Fusion-io common stock.

 

On July 23, 2014, SanDisk issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger.  A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(L) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
