This excerpt taken from the EYE 10-K filed Mar 1, 2007. Pending Acquisition of IntraLase Corp. On January 5, 2007, we entered into an agreement with IntraLase Corp. (IntraLase) to acquire IntraLase for approximately $808 million in cash. IntraLase manufactures femtosecond laser systems utilized in LASIK surgery. Under terms of the agreement, approved by the boards of directors of both companies, after they received fairness opinions from their respective financial advisors, we will pay $25 in cash per share of IntraLase stock and the individually determined cash value per share of outstanding stock options. We have arranged committed financing from a consortium of banks to complete the transaction. We expect the transaction to be completed early in the second quarter of 2007. The transaction is subject to IntraLase stockholder approval as well as regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. For a description of the risks related to this transaction, see Risks Relating to the Pending IntraLase Corp. Acquisition beginning on page 24. |
