Item 4. | | Purpose of Transaction |
The purpose of the transactions provided for in the Transaction Agreement and the Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements is to permit the Reporting Persons to acquire all of the authorized and issued Shares and obtain control over the Issuer’s assets and operations.
Set forth below are summary descriptions of the Transaction Agreement, the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, the Issuer Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement and the Abengoa Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement. These descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, the Issuer Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement and the Abengoa Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, copies of which are filed or referenced as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2, Exhibit 4.3 and Exhibit 4.4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Transaction Agreement
Schneider Electric, SE España and the Issuer entered into a Transaction Agreement dated May 31, 2011 (as amended, the “Transaction Agreement”). Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, SE España will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all the authorized and issued Shares at a price per Share of $40.00 net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and subject to reduction for any federal back-up withholding or other taxes.
The Transaction Agreement provides that the Issuer will use its reasonable efforts to (i) effective promptly following the consummation of the Offer, appoint four (4) individuals designated by SE España as directors of the Issuer to fill vacancies on the Issuer’s board of directors created by the resignation of directors of the Issuer and (ii) effective promptly following the date on which the Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate a majority of the authorized and issued Shares, appoint three (3) additional individuals designated by SE España as directors of the Issuer to fill vacancies on the Issuer’s board of directors caused by the resignation of three (3) directors of the Issuer, in each case, in accordance with the cooption procedures under Spanish law. The foregoing obligations of the Issuer to appoint by SE
España’s designees is subject to such individuals satisfying all applicable qualifications for directors under Spanish law and the deed of incorporation, articles of association or bylaws of the Issuer.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Reporting Persons agreed that from the time that SE España accepts for payment the Shares tendered in the Offer until such time as the Shares have been delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”), if the Reporting Persons beneficially own less than seventy percent (70%) of the total authorized and issued Shares, the board of directors of the Issuer shall consist of no more than twelve (12) directors and three (3) of such directors shall qualify as “independent directors” under the listing standards adopted by NASDAQ applicable to members of a listed company’s audit committee. In addition, the Reporting Persons agreed that until such time as (i) more than seventy percent (70%) of the total authorized and issued Shares are beneficially owned by them, and (ii) the de-listing of Telvent from NASDAQ is approved at a general shareholders’ meeting following the procedure established in the Spanish company law, approval by Telvent of any amendment, waiver, consent or termination of the Transaction Agreement or the Offer shall require the approval of a majority of such “independent directors” then serving as directors of the Issuer.
The Transaction Agreement provides that Schneider Electric use its reasonable best efforts to cause Telvent to call a general shareholders’ meeting as promptly as practicable following the time that the Reporting Persons beneficially own seventy percent (70%) of the total authorized and issued Shares for the purposes of obtaining the requisite shareholder approval of a share capital reduction of Telvent through the redemption of all of the Shares not then owned by the Reporting Persons or their affiliates, following the procedure established in the Spanish company law (in particular articles 293 and 329 of the “Ley de Sociedades de Capital”).
Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement
Concurrently with entering into the Transaction Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered into an Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement (the “Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement”) with Abengoa, S.A., a company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (“Abengoa”), Siema, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland and a wholly owned subsidiary of Abengoa (“Siema”) and Telvent Corporation, S.L., a company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain and a wholly owned subsidiary of Abengoa (“Telvent Corporation”, and together with Abengoa and Siema, the “Tendering Abengoa Stockholders”), which Tendering Abengoa Stockholders collectively owned 13,637,664 Shares as of the date of the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement.
Pursuant to the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, the Tendering Abengoa Stockholders have agreed, among other things, (i) to tender, or cause to be tendered, any Shares held by them on the date of the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement or which may be issued to or otherwise acquired by them or their affiliates after that date (the “Abengoa Subject Shares”), (ii) to vote, or cause to be voted, all such Abengoa Subject Shares (to the extent the Abengoa Subject Shares are not purchased in the Offer), except to the extent waived by SE España, against certain enumerated actions, transactions or proposals and any other action, transaction or proposals (x) that is intended or would reasonably be expected to prevent, nullify, impede, interfere with, frustrate, delay, postpone, discourage or otherwise materially adversely
affect the Offer, the Transaction Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement or the contemplated economic benefits of any of the foregoing or (y) change in any manner the voting rights of the Abengoa Subject Shares, (iii) to take all actions reasonably required to cause each director of the Issuer nominated by Abengoa or Telvent Corporation to irrevocably resign upon the consummation of the Offer and (iv) not to, and not to authorize or permit any of their affiliates or any of their representatives to, directly or indirectly (x) initiate, solicit, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiry or the making of any proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal (as defined below), (y) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal, or (z) continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any person any information or data with respect to, or otherwise cooperate with or take any other action to knowingly facilitate any proposal that (A) constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal or (B) requires that Telvent abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Offer or any other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement. The Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement also restricts the transfer of the Abengoa Subject Shares.
As used in the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, the term “Alternative Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal offer, or indication of interest (whether binding or non-binding) relating to any (A) direct or indirect sale, lease exchange, transfer license, acquisition or disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of assets equal to twenty-five percent (25%) or more of Telvent’s consolidated assets or to which twenty-five percent (25%) or more of Telvent’s revenues, net income or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable, (B) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or group beneficially owning twenty-five (25%) or more of (x) the outstanding Shares, (y) any other class of equity securities of Telvent or (z) any voting securities of any of its subsidiaries or (D) merger, spin-off, transfer of assets and liabilities, other “modificaciones estructurales” (as defined by Law 3/2009 of the Kingdom of Spain), consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or similar transaction involving Telvent or any of its subsidiaries which would result in a direct or indirect acquisition or distribution of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of Telvent’s consolidated assets or assets to which twenty-five percent (25%) or more of Telvent’s revenues, net income or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable, in each case, other than the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.
In addition, pursuant to the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, (I) Abengoa agreed not to, and to cause its affiliates not to, employ or solicit for employment (subject to certain customary exceptions) any officer or senior manager of Telvent or its subsidiaries until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Offer Acceptance Time and (ii) Abengoa agreed to, and to cause its affiliates to, continue to provide services to Telvent and its subsidiaries of the same type and on the same terms (including with respect to levels of service and fees) as currently provided to Telvent and its subsidiaries for a period of one (1) year after the consummation of the Offer.
The Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of (i) the mutual written consent of the parties thereto, (ii) the consummation of the Offer, (iii) the termination or expiration of the Offer without any Shares being accepted for payment thereunder due to the failure of the conditions to the Offer to be satisfied or (iv) the election of a non-defaulting party by written notice to the other parties due to a serious or repeated breach of a material obligation or covenant that remains uncured.
Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements
Concurrently with entering into the Transaction Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered into (i) an Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement (the “Issuer Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement”) with Mr. Ignacio González Dominguez, the chief executive officer of the Issuer (the “Issuer Tendering Management Stockholder”) and (ii) an Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement (the “Abengoa Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement,” together with the Issuer Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, the “Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements,” and the Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements together with the Abengoa Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, the “Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements”) with Mr. Manuel Sánchez Ortega, the chief executive officer of Abengoa (the “Abengoa Tendering Management Stockholder,” and together with the Issuer Tendering Management Stockholder, the “Tendering Management Stockholders,” and the Tendering Management Stockholders together with the Tendering Abengoa Stockholders, the “Tendering Stockholders”)), which Tendering Management Stockholders collectively owned 453,000 Shares as of the date of the Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements.
Pursuant to each Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement, the Tendering Management Stockholder party thereto has agreed, among other things, (i) to tender, or cause to be tendered, any Shares held by him on the date of the Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements or which may be issued to or otherwise acquired by him after that date (the “Management Subject Shares”) and (ii) to vote, or cause to be voted, all such Management Subject Shares (to the extent the Management Subject Shares are not purchased in the Offer), except to the extent waived by SE España, against certain enumerated actions, transactions or
proposals and any other action, transaction or proposals (x) that is intended or would reasonably be expected to prevent, nullify, impede, interfere with, frustrate, delay, postpone, discourage or otherwise materially adversely affect the Offer, the Transaction Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or the Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements or the contemplated economic benefits of any of the foregoing or (y) change in any manner the voting rights of the Management Subject Shares. The Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreements also restrict the transfer of the Management Subject Shares.
Each Management Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of (i) the mutual written consent of the parties thereto, (ii) the consummation of the Offer, (iii) the termination or expiration of the Offer without any Shares being accepted for payment thereunder due to the failure of the conditions to the Offer to be satisfied or (iv) the election of a non-defaulting party by written notice to the other party due to a serious or repeated breach of a material obligation or covenant that remains uncured.
