Introductory Note
As previously disclosed, on January 17, 2014, NuPathe Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Parent”), and Train Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub agreed to commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) for a purchase price of $3.65 per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest, plus the contractual right to receive up to an additional $3.15 per Share in contingent cash consideration payments (the “Offer Price”) payable upon certain sales milestones of the Company’s ZECUITY product being achieved.
The Offer expired at midnight New York City time on February 20, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”) and was not extended. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised Parent and Merger Sub that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 28,178,652 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (not including 1,229,499 Shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery), which tendered Shares represent approximately 80.01255% of the Shares outstanding on a “fully diluted basis” (as defined in the Merger Agreement). All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied (or waived), Merger Sub accepted for payment all such Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, and payment for such Shares has been made to the Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering Company stockholders for the purpose of receiving payments for tendered Shares and transmitting such payments to tendering Company stockholders whose Shares have been accepted for payment, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
Following consummation of the Offer, the remaining conditions to the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”) were satisfied, and on February 21, 2014, Parent completed its acquisition of the Company by consummating the Merger, without a meeting of stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Law”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share then outstanding was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, except for Shares (i) then owned by Parent or Merger Sub or held in treasury by the Company, which were canceled (and no payment was or will be made with respect thereto) or (ii) held by any Company stockholder who is entitled to demand and properly has demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance and full compliance with Delaware Law (unless such stockholder fails to perfect, withdraws, waives or loses the right to appraisal).
At the Effective Time, each Company stock option was canceled, and the holder thereof is entitled to receive, at the earliest Valuation Point (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, at which the then applicable Per Share Paid Value (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeds the per-share exercise price, (i) an amount in cash equal to (A) the number of Shares subject to each such option (whether vested or unvested) held by such holder multiplied by the excess of (1) the then applicable Per Share Paid Value over (2) the per-share exercise price, and (ii) in respect of each Share subject to each such option (whether vested or unvested) held by such holder, each contingent cash consideration payment that, as of such Valuation Point, has not yet become payable. Additionally, at the Effective Time, vesting under each Other Equity Award (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was accelerated and any restrictions with respect thereto lapsed, and each outstanding Other Equity Award was canceled and the holder thereof is entitled to receive the Offer Price for each Share under such Other Equity Award. Each outstanding warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire Shares immediately prior to the consummation of the Offer, as a consequence thereof, only entitles the holder thereof to receive the amount by which the Offer Price exceeds the exercise price of such warrant.
The foregoing description of the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 21, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference.

and Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., as collateral agent and as a lender (as amended or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”). In connection with the termination, the Company paid all fees and other amounts due under the Loan Agreement, including a prepayment fee of $108,274.34. The Company previously filed the Loan Agreement as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 27, 2012, and amended on November 29, 2012.

The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the deregistration of the Shares and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
