Introductory Note

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 5, 2024, Shockwave Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated April 4, 2024, with Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (“Johnson & Johnson”), and Sweep Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

On May 31, 2024, Merger Sub completed its Merger with and into the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and, as a result, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) certain Company Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company that were excluded pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (ii) Company Shares with respect to which appraisal rights had been exercised) was automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $335.00 per share (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and less any applicable withholdings.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:

 

•

Each option to purchase Company Shares (each, a “Company Option”) that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, and which had a per share exercise price that was less than the Merger Consideration was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the excess of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per share exercise price of such Company Option.

 

•

Each Company Option that had a per share exercise price that was equal to or exceeded the amount of the Merger Consideration was cancelled for no consideration.

 

•

Each award of restricted stock units (each, a “Company RSU Award”) that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration.

 

•

Each performance stock unit for which the performance period had not been completed as of the date of the Merger Agreement (each, a “Company PSU Award”) that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company PSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming attainment of (A) the actual level of performance for performance metrics for which the relevant performance period had been completed as of the Effective Time and (B) the maximum level of performance as determined under the terms of the applicable award agreement as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement for performance metrics for which the relevant performance period had not been completed as of the Effective Time) and (ii) the Merger Consideration.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 5, 2024, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The consummation of the Merger constituted a Merger Event, a Fundamental Change and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change each as defined in the Indenture, dated August 15, 2023 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), relating to the Company’s 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (“Notes”). The effective date of each of the Merger Event, the Fundamental Change and the Make-Whole Fundamental Change is May 31, 2024 (the “Note Effective Date”), the date of the consummation of the Merger. The Indenture was previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 15, 2023.

As a result of the Fundamental Change, each Note holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase its Notes, pursuant to the terms and procedures set forth in the Indenture, for a cash repurchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (as defined in the Indenture). In addition, as a result of the Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change and Merger Event, holders of the Notes will have a right to convert their Notes for Reference Property (as defined in the Indenture) commencing on the Note Effective Date, subject to the terms of the Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, as described below.

As a result of the Merger Event, pursuant to the Indenture, the Company and Trustee executed a supplemental indenture, dated May 31, 2024 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to, among other things, change each Note holder’s right to convert Notes for Company Shares on and after the Note Effective Date into a right to convert Notes for Reference Property (as defined in the Indenture), which consists of the Merger Consideration. After making the necessary conversion rate adjustments for the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, each holder of Notes who elects to convert such Notes during the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period (as defined in the Indenture) will receive an amount equal to $1,293.23 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

The foregoing description of the First Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Supplemental Indenture, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1.02.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, effective as of the Effective Time, the Company terminated the Shockwave Medical, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Shockwave Medical, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and the Shockwave Medical, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, the Company paid all outstanding obligations under that certain Credit Agreement, dated October 19, 2022, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Facility”), and the Company terminated the Credit Facility and all credit commitments under the Credit Facility. Notwithstanding the Company’s termination of the Credit Facility, each of the letters of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as issuing bank under the Credit Facility will remain outstanding.

On May 30, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company terminated the previously disclosed capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with the counterparties to the Capped Call Transactions, and, as a result of such early termination, early termination amounts are payable to the Company. The Capped Call Transactions are more fully described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 15, 2023.

 

Item 2.01

Item 3.01

On May 31, 2024, the Company (i) notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and its intent to remove all Company Shares from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and (ii) requested that Nasdaq (A) halt trading of Company Shares effective before the opening of trading on May 31, 2024, and (B) file with the SEC a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Company Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Following the effectiveness of such Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the termination of registration of the Company Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Trading of the Company Shares on Nasdaq was halted prior to the opening of trading on May 31, 2024.

 

Item 3.03

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note, Item 2.04, Item 3.01, Item 5.01 and Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Merger, each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as described in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K) was converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and less any applicable withholdings, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The total equity value of the transaction was approximately $13.1 billion. Johnson & Johnson funded the Merger with a combination of cash on hand and debt.

To the knowledge of the Company, there are no arrangements which may at a subsequent date result in a further change in control of the Company.

 

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Raymond Larkin, Jr., Frederic Moll, M.D., Antoine Papiernik, Maria Sainz, Sara Toyloy and F.T. “Jay” Watkins) resigned and ceased to be directors of the Company and members of any committee of the Company’s board of directors.

Re:	Shockwave Medical, Inc. – Notice of Supplemental Indenture, Fundamental Change and Make-Whole Fundamental Change to Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Holders of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (CUSIP No. 82489T AA2)*

To Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Holders:

Reference is made to that certain Indenture, dated as of August 15, 2023 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Original Indenture”), between Shockwave Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as the paying agent (“Paying Agent”) and the conversion agent thereunder (the “Conversion Agent”), in connection with the Company’s issuance of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.00% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Original Indenture.

As previously disclosed, on April 4, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 4, 2024 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (“Parent”) and Sweep Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. On May 31, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock (“Company Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to such time (other than the shares held by (1) Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise), or by any of their direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case other than shares held on behalf of third parties and (2) stockholders who were entitled to demand and who properly and validly demanded (and did not subsequently withdraw or fail to perfect) their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares in compliance in all respects with applicable law) were automatically converted into the right to receive $335.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding of taxes.

---

On the Effective Date, the Company (i) notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and its intent to remove all Company Shares from the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Delisting”) and (ii) requested that Nasdaq (A) halt trading of Company Shares effective before the opening of trading on May 31, 2024, and (B) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Company Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Following the effectiveness of such Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the termination of registration of the Company Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The consummation of the Merger constitutes a “Merger Event” (as defined in Section 4.07 of the Original Indenture), and each of the Merger and the Delisting constitutes a “Fundamental Change” and a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (each as defined in Section 1.01 of the Original Indenture).

Accordingly, this letter shall serve as notice under Section 3.05(b) and Section 4.04(b) of the Original Indenture that a “Fundamental Change” and a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” respectively, is deemed to have occurred at the Effective Time.

 

1.	Execution of Supplemental Indenture and Notice of Reference Property

Pursuant to Sections 4.07(a) and 10.01(h) of the Original Indenture, and as a result of the consummation of the Merger Event on the Effective Date, the Company and the Trustee executed a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Company hereby notifies Holders of the execution of the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 4.07(b) of the Original Indenture.

The Supplemental Indenture provides:

 

(i)

2.	Notice of Make-Whole Fundamental Change and Change to Conversion Rate

Pursuant to Section 4.04(b) of the Original Indenture, the Company hereby notifies the Holders, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent that the Merger constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and was effective as of the Effective Date (the “Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change”).

Pursuant to Section 4.04(b) of the Original Indenture, if a Holder elects in connection with the Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and during the applicable Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period, to convert its Notes in the manner prescribed by the Indenture, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”).

Pursuant to Section 4.04(b) of the Original Indenture, the Additional Shares in connection with the Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change equal 0.4009 based on an Effective Date of May 31, 2024 and the Conversion Rate applicable during the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period applicable to the Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change equals 3.8604 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equal to the sum of the base Conversion Rate of 3.4595 shares and 0.4009 Additional Shares).

Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Supplemental Indenture and Article 4 of the Original Indenture, Holders that elect to properly convert their Notes in connection with the Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change are entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to $1,293.23 for every $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted.

In order to receive cash of $1,293.23 for every $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted, Holders must convert their Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs during the applicable Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period. With respect to the Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period commences on the Effective Date and continues until the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is July 1, 2024. In order to convert their Notes, Holders must comply with the procedures set forth in Section 4.02(b) of the Original Indenture.

Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to exercise its conversion right and instruct such nominee to deliver the appropriate instruction form and the Notes in compliance with the applicable rules and procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC,” and such rules and procedures, the “Applicable Procedures”) prior to the end of the Make-Whole Conversion Period.

Holders may not convert their Notes if they have submitted a Repurchase Exercise Notice as described below unless they withdraw such Repurchase Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 3.05(c) of the Original Indenture as described below.

 

3.	Notice of Fundamental Change and Fundamental Change Repurchase Date

Pursuant to Section 3.05(a) of the Original Indenture, as a result of the Fundamental Change, each Holder has the right, subject to and in accordance with Article 3.05 of the Original Indenture, to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of such Holder’s Notes (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) in a principal amount that is equal to $1,000.00 or an integral multiple thereof on July 1, 2024 (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”). The Company will purchase such Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to

be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”). The amount payable on the Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, will be approximately $1,003.78 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes validly surrendered for repurchase, and not validly withdrawn.

Pursuant to Section 3.05(c) of the Original Indenture, Holders may exercise their Fundamental Change Repurchase Right by (i) delivering to the Paying Agent, a notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in compliance with the Applicable Procedures prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Date”) and (ii) effecting a book-entry transfer of the in compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

Pursuant to 3.05(c) of the Original Indenture, any Holder may withdraw, in whole or in part, its submission of a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by means of a notice of withdrawal that complies with the Applicable Procedures.

As of May 31, 2024, all Notes are held through DTC and there are no certificated Notes in non-global form. Accordingly, all Notes surrendered for repurchase or conversion hereunder must be delivered in compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Notes that are validly surrendered and not validly withdrawn will be paid by the Paying Agent, pursuant to Section 3.05(d) of the Original Indenture. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Right is subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Notes and this Notice of Fundamental Change and any related notice materials, as amended and supplemented from time to time.

Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and instruct such nominee to deliver a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and surrender the Notes on such Holder’s behalf in compliance with the Applicable Procedures prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

Holders who are DTC participants should deliver the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and surrender their Notes to the Paying Agent electronically through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”), subject to the terms and procedures of that system prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

You bear the risk of untimely submission of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary DTC procedures before the close of business on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date, after which time you will not be able to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.

By delivering, or instructing your nominee to deliver, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Paying Agent in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right set forth in this Notice.

Alternatively, Holders who wish to convert their Notes in connection with the Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change as described in 2. above cannot do so if they have submitted a Repurchase Exercise Notice with respect to such Notes unless they withdraw such Repurchase Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 3.05(c) of the Original Indenture as described above.

---

As described in 2. above, the Conversion Rate for Notes converted in connection with the Merger Make-Whole Fundamental Change will be 3.8604 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equal to the sum of the base Conversion Rate of 3.4595 shares and 0.4009 Additional Shares). As a result, Holders who so convert their Notes will be entitled to receive cash Reference Property of $1,293.23 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to exercise its conversion right and instruct such nominee to deliver the appropriate instruction form and the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures prior to the end of the Make-Whole Conversion Period.

The value that you would currently receive if you validly exercised the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right is substantially less than the value that you would expect to receive if you converted your Notes during the Make-Whole Conversion Period. You should review this Notice carefully and consult with your own financial and tax advisors. You must make your own decision as to whether or not to surrender your Notes for repurchase or to convert your Notes during the Make-Whole Conversion Period and, if you choose to exercise either of these rights, the amount of Notes to surrender or convert. None of the Company or its board of directors, as applicable, or its or their respective employees, advisors, or representatives, Parent or its affiliates, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent are making any representation or recommendation to any Holder as to whether Holders should elect to require the Company to repurchase their Notes or convert their Notes.
