ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On August 7, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 19, 1996, CUC International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), consummated a merger (the "Merger") whereby IG Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merger Sub"), was merged with and into Ideon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ideon"), with Ideon surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. In the Merger (which has been accounted for as a pooling-of- interests for accounting and financial reporting purposes), among other things, each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value, of Ideon ("Ideon Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") (other than shares of Ideon Common Stock held in the treasury of Ideon or by any subsidiary of Ideon, or shares of Ideon Common Stock owned by the Registrant, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of the Registrant) was converted into .3944 shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Registrant ("Registrant Common Stock"). In addition, each option to purchase shares of Ideon Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and granted under Ideon's option or compensation plans now represents an option to purchase shares of Registrant Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Ideon Common Stock subject to the option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) .3944, at an exercise price per share of Registrant Common Stock (increased to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of Registrant Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by .3944. Notwithstanding the foregoing, options held at the Effective Time by Ideon's directors were converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Registrant Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Ideon Common Stock such director could have purchased had such director exercised such options in full immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess, if any, of $13.50 over the applicable exercise price of such options, and the denominator of which is $34.23. Based on the total shares of Ideon Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, approximately 11,061,000 shares of Registrant Common Stock (having an aggregate market value of approximately $396,813,375 at the Effective Time) have been issued in the Merger. The consideration received by the holders of Ideon Common Stock in the Merger (i.e., the exchange ratio of .3944 shares of Registrant Common Stock for each share of Ideon Common Stock) and the other material terms of the Merger Agreement were determined by arms'-length negotiation between the Registrant and Ideon. For a more complete description of the terms of the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, reference is hereby made to the Merger Agreement which is incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS. (A) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED.
