This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with any previous or subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2016 by Nevada Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Melrose Industries PLC (“Parent”), a public limited company incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales with registered number 9800044, in connection with Purchaser’s offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Nortek, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, at a price of $86.00 per Share, in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the offer to purchase, dated July 8, 2016 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related letter of transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are included as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively, to the Schedule TO (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

 

All information in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, which were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively, to the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated in this Amendment by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

 

Items 4.  Terms of the Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end of the section entitled “Section 1—Terms of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase:

 

“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 2:00 a.m., Eastern time, on August 31, 2016 and were not extended. On August 31, 2016, Parent issued a press release announcing that the Depositary has advised Parent that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 14,860,844 Shares were validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the Offer (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery instructions for which certificates were not actually delivered prior to the Expiration Date), representing approximately 93% of the currently issued and outstanding Shares. Accordingly, the number of Shares tendered into the Offer has satisfied the Minimum Condition. In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered with respect to 188,012 Shares.

 

All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, Purchaser has accepted for payment, and has paid for, all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date.

 

Following the consummation of the Offer, Purchaser effected the Merger of Purchaser with and into the Company in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, without a vote of the stockholders of the Company.  At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, without interest, subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law, except as provided in the Merger Agreement with respect to Shares owned by Parent or the Purchaser or held in treasury by the Company or Shares held by any stockholder who is entitled to demand and properly has demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance and full compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL.

 

Parent intends to promptly cause all Shares of the Company to be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

 

The press release issued by Parent announcing the expiration of the Offer and the acceptance of Shares for payment is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(iv) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.”

Completion of Successful Tender Offer for Shares of Nortek

 

The Board of Melrose Industries PLC (“Melrose” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce today the completion of the tender offer to acquire Nortek, Inc. (“Nortek”).

 

The offering period for the tender offer by Nevada Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Melrose, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”) of Nortek for $86.00 per Share net, in cash and without interest, expired at 2:00 a.m., New York time, on August 31, 2016.  The transfer agent for the tender offer has advised Melrose that, as of the expiration of the tender offer, a total of approximately 14,860,844 Shares of Nortek had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (excluding those that have been tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 93% of Nortek’s outstanding Shares.  All Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn were accepted for payment today.

 

Shortly after the acceptance of those Shares validly tendered, Melrose completed the acquisition of Nortek through a merger of one of its subsidiaries with and into Nortek.  As a result of the merger, each outstanding Share of Nortek that was not acquired in the tender offer (excluding any Shares held as treasury stock and any Shares as to which appraisal rights have been validly exercised under Delaware law) has been converted into the right to receive $86.00 per Share net, in cash and without interest, the same price that was paid in the tender offer.  Following the completion of the merger, Nortek is now an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Melrose. Steps shall now be taken to cancel the listing of Nortek’s Shares on the NASDAQ.
