Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed, on June 27, 2024, Infinera Corporation (Infinera) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Nokia Corporation (Nokia) and Neptune of America Corporation (Merger Sub). The Merger Agreement provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Infinera (the Merger), with Infinera surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of Nokia.
The completion of the Merger is conditioned on, among other things, the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act).
On August 9, 2024, following informal discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice (the DOJ), Nokia informed the DOJ that Nokia would voluntarily withdraw and refile its Premerger Notification and Report Form for the Merger, which was submitted under the HSR Act, to give the DOJ additional time to review the Merger. Nokia refiled its Premerger Notification and Report Form for the Merger on August 14, 2024.
The applicable waiting period under the HSR Act expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on September 13, 2024.
The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. Infinera and Nokia continue to expect the Merger to close in the first half of 2025.
