Subsequent Events

On July 10, 2018, the Company and Roche entered into a Seventh Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which modified certain capacity and fee provisions related to the molecular information platform program, effective as of April 7, 2018.

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2018, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), with Roche Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent” or “Roche Holdings”), and 062018 Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of the Company by Parent in a two-step all-cash transaction, consisting of a tender offer, followed by a subsequent back-end merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent caused Merger Sub to conduct a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company at a price of $137.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Monday, July 30, 2018. Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 12,535,376 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered and for which certificates were not yet delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 77.3% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding those Shares held by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and, when taken together with the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates, representing approximately 90.1% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer. In addition, the Depositary advised that, as of July 31, 2018, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery were delivered with respect to approximately 1,342,573 Shares that had not yet been tendered, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Shares. Each condition to the Offer was satisfied, and Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn.

On July 31, 2018, the Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with no vote of the Company’s stockholders required to consummate the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd.  The aggregate consideration paid by Merger Sub in the Offer and Merger to purchase all outstanding Shares (other than the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and other equity-based interests of the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, was approximately $2.2 billion.  

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company (i) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that Nasdaq (x) halt trading in the Shares on the morning of July 31, 2018, prior to market open, and suspend trading of the Shares effective as of the close of business on July 31, 2018 and (y) file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has filed with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.
