Expiration of Go-Shop Period
As previously disclosed, PMFG, Inc. (“PMFG”) entered in an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CECO Environmental Corp. (“CECO”) on May 3, 2015. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PMFG had a 45-business day period during which it was permitted to explore alternative proposals (commonly referred to as a “go-shop” period). The go-shop period expired at 11:59 New York City time on July 7, 2015.
Early in the go-shop period, representatives of PMFG’s financial advisor Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc., on behalf of PMFG, contacted 63 potential acquirors by telephone and/or email regarding their possible interest in pursuing a potential acquisition of PMFG. Of the potential acquirors contacted, five requested a copy of PMFG’s proposed non-disclosure agreement. PMFG entered into non-disclosure agreements with two potential acquirors. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, none of these potential acquirers has submitted a proposal to pursue a transaction with PMFG.
