Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 10, 2008, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Millennium or the Company), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Takeda America Holdings, Inc. (Parent), a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TPC), and Mahogany Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the Offer) on April 11, 2008 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $25.00 per share, net to the holder in cash (the Offer Price), subject to any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 11, 2008 (the Offer to Purchase), and the related Letter of Transmittal, each as amended or supplemented from time to time.
On May 14, 2008, TPC and Millennium announced the completion of the Offer. The initial offering period of the Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Thursday, May 8, 2008, and the subsequent offering period expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Tuesday, May 13, 2008. According to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer, as of 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of May 13, 2008, a total of 295,628,495 shares of Millennium common stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, which represent approximately 90.3% of all outstanding shares of Millennium common stock. Purchaser has accepted for payment all shares of Millennium common stock that were validly tendered and not withdrawn during the Offer, and payment for such shares has been or will be made promptly, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
On May 14, 2008, Merger Sub was merged with and into Millennium pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, with Millennium surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TPC. At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Millennium common stock that was not tendered pursuant to the Offer was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (other than shares of Millennium common stock that are held by Millennium, TPC, Purchaser or Takeda America or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Millennium or Takeda America or by stockholders, if any, who properly exercise their appraisal rights under Delaware law).
As a result of the merger, Millennium no longer fulfills the numerical listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq). Accordingly, on May 14, 2008, at Millenniums request, Nasdaq filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), on Form 25 thereby effecting the delisting of the Shares from Nasdaq and the deregistration of Millennium common stock under the Exchange Act. Additionally, Millennium filed with the SEC a Certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act to suspend the Companys reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change of Fiscal Year.
In connection with consummation of the merger, the Companys certificate of incorporation was amended and restated as set forth in Exhibit C to the Merger Agreement. Also, upon consummation of the merger, the by-laws of the Company were amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the
2
by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, except that the name of the surviving corporation set forth therein is Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Copies of the restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and 3.2 to this report and are incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 14, 2008, TPC and Millennium issued a joint press release relating to the consummation of the merger, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
