CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$277,981,972.00   $34,608.76

 

*

Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated as the sum of (i) 11,569,699 shares of common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Shares”), of Reis, Inc. (“Reis”) outstanding (which excludes 2,557,456 Shares that are wholly-owned by subsidiaries of Reis, and that will not be tendered in the Offer (as defined below)) multiplied by $23.00, (ii) 245,000 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than the price of $23.00 per share, multiplied by $14.12 (which is the price of $23.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $8.88 per share) and (iii) 366,065 Shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding Reis restricted stock units multiplied by $23.00. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Reis as of August 24, 2018.

**

The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2018, effective October 1, 2017, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001245.

This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Moody’s Analytics Maryland Corp., a Maryland corporation (“Purchaser”), and Moody’s Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 13, 2018 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.02 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Reis, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Reis”), at a price of $23.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated September 13, 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 and with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), which are annexed to and filed with this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. Purchaser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Parent and Purchaser. Unless otherwise indicated, references to sections in this Schedule TO are references to sections of the Offer to Purchase.

This Amendment also constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed jointly by Parent and Purchaser with the SEC on September 10, 2018 with respect to the Shares.

Amendments to the Schedule TO and the Schedule 13D

Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO and Item 5 of the Schedule 13D

The information set forth in Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

At 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 12, 2018, the Offer expired. The Depositary advised Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 9,800,276 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 84.7% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding for purposes of determining such percentage all Shares held by Reis, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries). In addition, the Depositary advised Purchaser that notices of guaranteed delivery have been delivered with respect to 41,983 additional Shares, representing approximately 0.4% of the outstanding Shares as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding for purposes of determining such percentage all Shares held by Reis, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries).

As of the expiration of the Offer, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Tender Condition, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied. Immediately after the expiration of the Offer, Purchaser irrevocably accepted for purchase and payment, and will as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no more than one business day after the time at which it accepted) pay for all Shares tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered).

As a result of its acceptance of Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser now owns a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement without a meeting of Reis’s stockholders in accordance with Section 3-106.1 of the Maryland General Corporations Law. At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive $23.00 per Share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

Following consummation of the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Parent and Purchaser intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend all of Reis’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.

On October 15, 2018, Parent and Reis issued a joint press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached here as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 12

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:

(a)(5)(E)     Joint Press Release of Parent and Reis, dated October 15, 2018, announcing the expiration and results of the Offer.


SIGNATURE

After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

Moody’s and Reis Announce Successful Completion of Cash Tender Offer for Shares of Reis

NEW YORK, October 15, 2018 — Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) and Reis, Inc. (NASDAQ:REIS) announce today that Moody’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Moody’s Analytics Maryland Corp., successfully completed the previously announced tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Reis at a purchase price of $23.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

The tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 12, 2018. The depositary for the tender offer has advised that as of the expiration of the tender offer, a total of 9,800,276 shares of common stock of Reis were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offer (excluding shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered) representing approximately 84.7% of Reis’s outstanding shares of common stock. All of such shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

As a result of the tender offer, Moody’s now indirectly owns a sufficient number of shares in Reis to complete a “short-form” merger under applicable Maryland law without stockholder approval. Upon completion of the merger, all outstanding shares of common stock of Reis other than shares held by Moody’s, Moody’s Analytics Maryland Corp., Reis, or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries will be canceled and converted into the right to receive $23 per share in cash without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes. Moody’s expects to complete the merger later today. In addition, in connection with the merger, the common stock of Reis will cease to be traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
