Contingent Value Rights Issued in September 2008 Will Expire Without Value
SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals Holding, Inc., (NASDAQ: APCVZ) today filed its Form 10-K for APP which provides an update on the Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) granted to APP stockholders in September 2008 in conjunction with Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals Holding’s acquisition of APP.
Pursuant to the agreement governing the CVRs, the right to receive a payment with respect to the CVRs was contingent upon APP achieving consolidated cumulative Adjusted EBITDA in excess of $1.268 billion for the measurement period (three years ending December 31, 2010). The consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the measurement period was $1.126 billion. Since the cumulative Adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the required threshold, CVR holders will not receive any payments on the CVRs and the CVRs will expire without value.
The company will give formal notice to the NASDAQ Capital Market of its intention to deregister under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and delist the CVRs from the NASDAQ. The Company will also terminate its obligation to file periodic reports, such as a Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, under the Exchange Act. It is expected that the CVRs will cease trading on NASDAQ on March 4, 2011. The delisting is expected to be made effective by the NASDAQ prior to the end of the first quarter 2011.
