Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 21, 2010, CardioNet, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 5, 2010, by and between the Company, Garden Merger Sub, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Sub”), and Biotel Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Biotel”), pursuant to which Sub merged with and into Biotel, and Biotel became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Biotel’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Biotel Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of Biotel Common Stock held directly or indirectly by Biotel as treasury stock or held by the Company or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (which were cancelled as a result of the Merger), and other than those shares with respect to which appraisal rights were perfected in accordance with Minnesota law, was converted into the right to receive $4.055 in cash (the “Per-Share Cash Amount”), without interest.
At the Effective Time, all outstanding stock options of Biotel (the “Biotel Options”) were canceled. Holders of Biotel Options with an exercise price per share less than the Per-Share Cash Amount received, for each share of Biotel Common Stock subject to such Biotel Option, cash in an amount equal to the difference between the Per-Share Cash Amount and the per share exercise price of such Biotel Option.
A total of approximately $11.6 million is expected to be paid as consideration for the Merger.
The foregoing description of the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 11, 2010 and incorporated herein by reference.
