The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of TESARO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for $75.00 per Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding taxes required by applicable law, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 14, 2018 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal,” and together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(a) and (a)(1)(b), respectively. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules thereto, and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated herein by reference with respect to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent provided herein.
This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Parent, GSK LLC and Purchaser. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO. Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. This Amendment should be read together with the Schedule TO.
Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.
The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent Items 1 through 9 and 11 incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs thereto:
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 6:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on Friday, January 18, 2019. The Depositary has advised Parent, GSK LLC and Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the Offer on the Expiration Date, 50,118,797 Shares had been tendered pursuant to the Offer, which represented approximately 82.8% of the issued and outstanding Shares as calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
The number of Shares validly tendered into the Offer and not properly withdrawn satisfies the Minimum Tender Condition. All conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived and on January 22, 2019, Purchaser has accepted for payment and has paid the depositary for all Shares validly tendered into and not properly withdrawn from the Offer.
As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered into the Offer, Purchaser acquired sufficient Shares to consummate the Merger pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL without a vote or any further action by the stockholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, Purchaser merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares (i) held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company, or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary thereof, immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demanded appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) was converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price, payable net to the holder in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law. As a consequence of the Merger, the Shares will no longer be listed on NASDAQ and will no longer be registered under the Exchange Act.
The press release announcing the expiration of the Offer, the acceptance of Shares for payment and the consummation of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(k).
