Simula Updates Merger Consideration To Shareholders
PHOENIX, Arizona – November 20, 2003, Simula, Inc. (AMEX: SMU)today provided an updated estimate of merger consideration payable to shareholders in connection with the pending merger with Armor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AH). Simula’s proxy statement provides for periodic updates of such estimated consideration. Simula’s management estimated as of November 18, 2003 that the merger consideration payable to shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement will be approximately $43.3 or approximately $3.19 per share. Estimates of merger consideration are subject to adjustment, and there is no floor or minimum on the merger consideration to be paid by Armor Holdings for each share of Simula common stock. This estimate is for the purposes of illustration only, and the actual, final per share merger consideration payable to Simula’s shareholders is subject to numerous factors and variables. Comprehensive information on the merger and merger consideration is set out in Simula’s proxy statement dated November 10, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and available on Simula’s website at www.simula.com.
Simula will provide its shareholders further updated information regarding the calculation of the estimated per share merger consideration to be paid by Armor Holdings for each share of Simula common stock under the merger agreement, by the issuance of subsequent press releases on November 28, 2003 and on or before December 4, 2003, the filing of forms 8-K under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the posting of press releases and Forms 8-K on Simula’s website at www.simula.com.
