CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*

 

Amount of Filing Fee**

$44,805,140,610.61

 

$5,247,572.95

 


*                  Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 343,644,985 common shares, par value €0.20 per share (not including treasury shares), of NXP Semiconductors N.V. multiplied by the offer consideration of $127.50 per share, (ii) the net offer consideration for 3,033,079 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $127.50 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options by an amount equal to $127.50 minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $48.41 per share), (iii) 5,567,543 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted stock units multiplied by the offer consideration of $127.50 per share and (iv) 318,879 shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding performance-based restricted stock units multiplied by the offer consideration of $127.50 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of February 16, 2018, the most recent practicable date.

**            The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (i) with respect to the fee paid with Amendment No. 22, equals the incremental increase in the transaction valuation multiplied by 0.0001245 based on Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2018, issued August 24, 2017, and (ii) with respect to fees paid prior to Amendment No. 22, equals the previously-disclosed transaction valuation multiplied by 0.0001159 based on Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2017, issued August 31, 2016.

 

x           Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.

This Amendment No. 25 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2016 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) in relation to the tender offer by Qualcomm River Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Purchaser”) and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Qualcomm” or “Parent”), for all outstanding common shares, par value €0.20 per share (the “Shares”), of NXP Semiconductors N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“NXP”). On February 20, 2018, Purchaser and NXP entered into an amendment (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”) to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2016 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Purchaser and NXP. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Amendment, the offer price was increased from $110.00 per Share to $127.50 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest to the holders thereof, payable in cash (the “Offer Consideration”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated November 18, 2016 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, including by the Amendment and Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated February 21, 2018 (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(G) to the Schedule TO), the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO, and in the related letter of transmittal (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO and the related Letter of Transmittal remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

 

Amendment to the Schedule TO

 

Items 1, 4 and 11. Summary Term Sheet; Terms of the Transaction; and Additional Information.

 

Items 1, 4 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

 

“On March 9, 2018, Parent announced an extension of the expiration of the Offer to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 16, 2018, unless the Offer is further extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 9, 2018.

 

The Depositary has advised Parent and Purchaser that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 8, 2018, 65,276,925 Shares (excluding 21,239 Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee), representing approximately 19.0% of the outstanding Shares, have been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn.

 

The full text of the press release issued by Parent announcing the extension of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(EE) and is incorporated by reference herein.”

 

Item 9. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 9 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

 

On March 6, 2018, Parent entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent (the “2018 Credit Agreement”).  Under the 2018 Credit Agreement, Parent received commitments for (i) a senior unsecured delayed-draw term facility in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion (the “2018 Term Loan Facility”, and the loans thereunder, the “2018 Term Loans”), and (ii) a senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”, and together with the 2018 Term Loan Facility, the “2018 Facilities”; and the loans under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, the “2018 Revolving Loans”). Certain proceeds of the 2018 Facilities, if drawn, will be used in part by Purchaser to finance the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and in part by Parent for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

 

2018 Credit Agreement

 

The following summary description of the 2018 Credit Agreement and all other provisions of the 2018 Term Loan Facility and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility discussed herein are qualified by reference to the 2018 Credit Agreement, which has been filed as Exhibit (b)(11) to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC in connection with the Offer and is incorporated herein by reference. The 2018 Credit Agreement may be examined and copies may be obtained at the places and in the manner set forth in Section 8 — “Certain Information Concerning Parent and Purchaser.” Shareholders and other interested parties should read the 2018 Credit Agreement for a more complete description of the provisions summarized below.

Interest Rates and Fees. Interest under the 2018 Term Loan Facility is payable either, at the option of Parent, at a Base Rate (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) or a reserve-adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) plus, in each case, a per annum applicable rate that fluctuates between 0.0 basis points and 25.0 basis points, in the case of 2018 Term Loans priced at the Base Rate, and between 75.0 basis points and 125.0 basis points, in the case of 2018 Term Loans priced at the reserve-adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, based on the Parent’s Debt Ratings with certain provisions taking into account potential differences in ratings issued by the relevant rating agencies or a lack of ratings issued by such rating agencies. Parent will be required to pay a ticking fee at a rate equal to (a) a per annum rate that fluctuates between 4.0 basis points and 12.5 basis points based on the Parent’s Debt Ratings, times (b) the actual daily undrawn commitments with respect to the 2018 Term Loan Facility, accruing during the period commencing on March 6, 2018 and ending on the earlier of the date of funding of the 2018 Term Loan Facility and the date the commitments with respect to the 2018 Term Loan Facility terminate.

 

Interest under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility is payable either, at the option of Parent, at a Base Rate or a reserve-adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus, in each case, a per annum applicable rate that fluctuates between 0.0 basis points and 12.5 basis points, in the case of 2018 Revolving Loans priced at the Base Rate, and between 62.5 basis points and 112.5 basis points, in the case of 2018 Revolving Loans priced at the reserve-adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, based on the Parent’s Debt Ratings with certain provisions taking into account potential differences in ratings issued by the relevant rating agencies or a lack of ratings issued by such rating agencies. Parent will be required to pay an undrawn commitment fee at a rate equal to (a) a per annum rate that fluctuates between 4.0 basis points and 12.5 basis points based on the Parent’s Debt Ratings, times (b) the actual daily undrawn commitments with respect to the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Prepayments. The 2018 Facilities require that Parent prepay loans and reduce commitments under the 2018 Facilities with the net cash proceeds of certain debt and equity issuances and certain asset sales, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The 2018 Facilities allow for voluntary prepayments of the 2018 Term Loans and 2018 Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

 

Borrower, Guarantors and Collateral. Parent is the borrower under the 2018 Facilities. Obligations under the 2018 Facilities are not guaranteed by any entity and not expected to be guaranteed by any subsidiary of Parent, and the 2018 Facilities are unsecured.

 

Conditions.

 

The funding of the 2018 Term Loan Facility and of the initial borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility are each subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, without limitation:

 

·      consummation of the Offer in accordance with the Purchase Agreement without giving effect to any modifications, consents, amendments or waivers thereto or thereunder that are materially adverse to the interests of the lenders or lead arrangers under the Term Loan Facility unless consented to in writing by the lead arrangers thereof (provided that the increase in the Offer Consideration pursuant to the Amendment, and any modification of the term “Offer Consideration” under the Amendment, shall, in each case, be deemed not to be materially adverse to the lenders or the lead arrangers);

 

·      since October 27, 2016, there will not have occurred any fact, change, event, development, occurrence or effect that would have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a “Target Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement in a manner consistent with the comparable term in the Purchase Agreement; see Section 11 — “The Purchase Agreement; Other Agreements”), but does not require satisfaction of a clause of the definition of “Target Material Adverse Effect” relating to impairment of NXP’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;

 

·      delivery of certain audited and unaudited financial statements of Parent and NXP;

 

·      payment of fees, charges and disbursements of counsel required to be paid under or in connection with the Term Loan Facility;

 

·      delivery of a solvency certificate from the chief financial officer of Parent and certain other customary closing documents (including customary closing certificates, a favorable legal opinion from Parent’s counsel as to its registration status under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a customary request for credit extension and documentation required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations);

 

·      accuracy of certain specified representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement and specified representations and warranties in the 2018 Credit Agreement and absence of a default or event of default under the 2018 Credit Agreement relating to non-payment of amounts due, events of default under certain material debt instruments or bankruptcy or insolvency; and

 

·      repayment in full of all amounts due or outstanding in respect of certain credit facilities of NXP or its subsidiaries and the termination of all commitments to extend credit thereunder and the discharge and release of all guarantees and security interests in respect thereof.

 

3



 

The funding of any subsequent borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility on or before the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) and the proceeds of which will be used to finance the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or pay fees and expenses related thereto will be subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, without limitation:

 

·      accuracy of certain specified representations and warranties in the 2018 Credit Agreement and absence of a default or event of default under the 2018 Credit Agreement relating to non-payment of amounts due, events of default under certain material debt instruments or bankruptcy or insolvency; and

 

·      receipt by the administrative agent of a customary request for credit extension.

 

The funding of any subsequent borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility (other than as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph) is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, without limitation:

 

·      accuracy of certain representations and warranties in the 2018 Credit Agreement;

 

·      absence of a default under the 2018 Credit Agreement, including after giving effect to the relevant borrowing and the application of proceeds thereof; and

 

·      receipt by the administrative agent of a customary request for credit extension.

 

Other Terms. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, conditions precedent, events of default, indemnities and affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for facilities of this type. Affirmative covenants include, among others, covenants pertaining to the delivery of financial statements, notices, certificates and other information, payment of taxes, preservation of corporate existence and compliance with laws. Negative covenants include, among others, covenants that restrict the ability of Parent and its subsidiaries, as applicable, to incur certain liens and make certain fundamental changes, and of Parent’s subsidiaries to incur indebtedness. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. Certain changes of control also constitute an event of default under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The 2018 Credit Agreement also requires Parent to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) of at least 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ended following the execution and delivery of the 2018 Credit Agreement. Amounts borrowed under the 2018 Facilities will mature on December 31, 2018.

 

Termination. Commitments under the 2018 Term Loan Facility terminate on the first to occur of (i) the consummation of the Offer without using the 2018 Term Loans, (ii) the termination of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Offer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iii) 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the End Date and (iv) the termination of the commitments in accordance with the provisions of the 2018 Credit Agreement providing for voluntary and mandatory commitment reductions. The commitments under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on the first to occur of (i) the termination of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (ii) if the Closing Date has not occurred, 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the End Date and (iii) the termination of the commitments in accordance with the provisions of the 2018 Credit Agreement providing for voluntary and mandatory commitment reductions.
