The obligation of Acquisition Sub to purchase Shares tendered in the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (i) Shares have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn that represent a majority of the Fully Diluted Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as of the expiration of the Offer, (ii) the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the absence of governmental orders and litigation (A) challenging or seeking to prohibit the Offer or the Merger (as defined below) or (B) that, if successful, would reasonably be expected to result in a prohibition or limitation on Parent’s ownership and use of Northera, (iv) there not having occurred any change, circumstance, event or occurrence that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (v) other customary conditions. The consummation of the Offer is not subject to any financing condition.
Following the successful completion of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), pursuant to the procedure provided for under Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) without any additional stockholder approvals. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by the Company, Parent, Acquisition Sub, any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub or by stockholders of the Company who have validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal under the DGCL) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company has agreed to operate its business and the business of its subsidiaries in the ordinary course and has agreed to certain other operating covenants, as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement. The Company has also agreed (i) not to solicit or initiate discussions with any third party regarding acquisition proposals and (ii) to certain restrictions on its ability to respond to such proposals, subject to fulfillment of certain fiduciary requirements of the board of directors of the Company.
The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions for both the Company and Parent and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including termination by the Company to accept and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an unsolicited superior proposal, the Company will be required to pay an $18,550,000 fee (the “Termination Fee”), less the amount of Parent expenses previously reimbursed by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement. A superior proposal is a bona fide written inquiry, offer or proposal pursuant to which a third party would acquire more than 50% of the voting power of the Company on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel) to be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the terms of the Offer and the Merger and is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed taking into account all terms and conditions of the proposal and all relevant circumstances. Any such termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company is subject to certain conditions, including the Company’s compliance with certain procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement and a determination by the board of directors of the Company that the failure to terminate the Merger Agreement would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable law, payment of the Termination Fee by the Company and the substantially concurrent execution of a definitive agreement by the Company with such third party. Additionally, upon a termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to reimburse Parent for reasonably documented expenses incurred in connection with the transaction in amount up to $2,650,000.
