Entry into Arrangement Agreement
On June 19, 2017, Novadaq Technologies Inc. (the Company or Novadaq ) announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement (the Arrangement Agreement ) with Stryker Corporation ( Stryker ) pursuant to which Stryker had agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Novadaq (the Novadaq Shares ) for US$11.75 per share in cash, implying a total enterprise value of approximately US$701 million. The transaction price represents a premium of approximately 95.8% over the closing price of the Novadaq Shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market ( NASDAQ ) on June 16, 2017, the last trading day before the announcement of the transaction.
The transaction will be carried out by way of a court approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the Arrangement ) and will require the approval of, among others, the holders of at least 66 2 ⁄ 3 % of the Novadaq Shares present in person or represented by proxy at a special meeting of Novadaq shareholders (the Special Meeting ) to be called to consider the Arrangement. The Special Meeting is expected to be held on or about August 4, 2017.
The board of directors of Novadaq, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, and on the unanimous recommendation of a Special Committee of Novadaqs board of directors (the Special Committee ), unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Corporation and recommends that Novadaq shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement. Novadaqs board of directors and the Special Committee have also received a fairness opinion from each of Piper Jaffray & Co. and Perella Weinberg Partners LP in connection with the Arrangement to the effect that, as of the date of such opinions, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the consideration to be received by Novadaqs shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair from a financial point of view.
In addition to shareholder and court approvals, the Arrangement is subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including Canadian Competition Act and U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino approvals, and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition.
The Arrangement Agreement includes a non-solicitation covenant on the part of Novadaq, subject to a right to match provision and customary fiduciary out provisions, and provides for the payment of a termination fee of US$21.0 million by Novadaq to Stryker in certain circumstances.
The Arrangement Agreement has been provided solely to inform investors of its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Arrangement Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Arrangement Agreement and may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the text of the Arrangement Agreement and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company. The Companys shareholders and other investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Arrangement Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company or any other party thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
