On January 16, 2003, Moore Corporation Limited (“Parent”) and M-W Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Wallace Computer Services, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and, under circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, immediately thereafter the surviving corporation will be merged into another wholly owned subsidiary of Moore. In the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company will be converted into either, at the stockholder’s election and subject to proration, (A) a number of common shares of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) equal to (i) 1.05 plus (ii) the quotient of (x) 14.40 divided by (y) the average of the daily high and low sales price per share of Parent Common Stock on the last trading day immediately preceding the closing date or (B) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) $14.40 plus (ii) the product of (x) 1.05 multiplied by (y) the average of the daily high and low sales price per share of Parent Common Stock on the last trading day immediately preceding the closing date.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including (i) approval by the stockholders of the Company, (ii) Parent entering into definitive financing agreements and receipt of funds thereunder, (iii) the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iv) registration of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (v) satisfaction of certain other conditions.
The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be submitted for the adoption and approval at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company. Prior to such meeting, Parent will file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering under the Securities Act the Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger.
