Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On August 26, 2021, Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Maxim”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 12, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Maxim, and Magneto Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Merger Sub merged with and into Maxim (the “Merger”), with Maxim surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Maxim (the “Maxim Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury shares and any shares of Maxim Common Stock held directly by the Company or Merger Sub) was converted into the right to receive 0.6300 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.16 2/3 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares, subject to any applicable tax withholding.
At the Effective Time, (i) all Maxim restricted stock units and Maxim restricted shares (excluding any Maxim restricted stock units and Maxim restricted shares that by their terms vested and settled upon the Effective Time) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically converted into restricted stock units or restricted shares, as applicable, denominated in shares of Company Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio and (ii) all Maxim performance-based market stock units (“Maxim MSUs”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Maxim MSUs that by their terms vested and settled immediately prior to the Effective Time) were automatically converted into time-based restricted stock unit awards denominated in shares of Company Common Stock based on (x) the number of shares of Maxim Common Stock subject to each Maxim MSU after giving effect to any applicable provisions in the award agreement governing the Maxim MSU with respect to a “change in control” and (y) the Exchange Ratio. Other than the foregoing adjustments, the awards governing such converted restricted stock units or restricted shares, as applicable, will generally remain subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions that applied to the awards immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the terms and conditions of Maxim’s applicable change in control plans).
The issuance of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-248092), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 3, 2020. The joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement contains additional information about the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 15, 2020, and which is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement is intended to provide investors with information regarding its terms and not to provide any factual information about the Company or Maxim.
