Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by TESARO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), on December 3, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 3, 2018 (the Merger Agreement), with GlaxoSmithKline plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (Parent), and Parents indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Adriatic Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Purchaser). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on December 14, 2018, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the Offer) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (Shares), for $75.00 per Share (the Offer Price), net to the holder in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding taxes required by applicable law, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 14, 2018 (as amended or supplemented), and the related Letter of Transmittal.
The Offer, as extended, expired at 6:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on January 18, 2019 (the Expiration Time). The number of Shares tendered satisfied the Minimum Tender Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement). All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived, Purchaser, on January 22, 2019, accepted for payment all such Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Time and made payment for such Shares. As a result of its acceptance of, and payment for, the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser acquired a sufficient number of Shares to complete the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company (the Merger) on January 22, 2019 (the Effective Time).
On January 22, 2019, in connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (the Trustee) entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture (the Second Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture, dated as of September 29, 2014 (the Base Indenture), between the Company and the Trustee, and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 29, 2014, between the Company and the Trustee (the First Supplemental Indenture, and together with the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture), relating to the Companys 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the Notes).
The Second Supplemental Indenture reflects that, from and after the Effective Time, the right of the holders of the Notes to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be changed to a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into cash in an amount initially equal to (x) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Merger (as increased by Section 4.06 of the Indenture), multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration.
The foregoing description of the Second Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Second Supplemental Indenture, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 23, 2019, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company repaid all obligations outstanding under its Loan Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2017, by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary TESARO Securities Corporation, BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (the Lenders) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Loan Agreement), and all agreements related thereto have been terminated and all necessary filings will be completed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. As a result of the early termination of the Loan Agreement, the Company was required to pay, in addition to the outstanding principal and interest, certain prepayment premiums and make-whole payments to the Lenders. The foregoing is only a description of the Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.37 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2018 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerated or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
The consummation of the Offer constitutes a Fundamental Change and the consummation of the Merger constitutes a Make-Whole Adjustment Event under the First Supplemental Indenture.
Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, each holder of Notes has the option, subject to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of such holders Notes that is equal to $1,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on February 22, 2019 (the Fundamental Change Purchase Date). The Company will repurchase such Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 P.M. New York City time on February 21, 2019 at a price (the Fundamental Change Purchase Price) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The Fundamental Change Purchase Price, including accrued interest, is $1,011.75 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly surrendered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn.
In addition, pursuant to the respective terms and conditions of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Notes are currently convertible at the option of the holders thereof. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Supplemental Indenture, if any holder elects to convert Notes at any time from January 22, 2019 until 5:00 P.M. New York City time on February 21, 2019 (such period, the Make-Whole Adjustment Period), the applicable Conversion Rate (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) will be increased to 29.4495 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes properly converted during the Make-Whole Adjustment Period.
The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.04. In addition, the information contained in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated by reference.
