AMICAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES TENDER OFFER
FOR SHARES OF EMAGEON INC.
BOSTON
- April 2
-
/PRNewswire - First
Call/ -
AMICAS, Inc. [Nasdaq: AMCS] a leader in radiology
and medical image and information management solutions, today announced the successful completion
of the tender offer by its wholly-owned subsidiary AMICAS Acquisition Corp. for shares of common
stock of Emageon Inc. [Nasdaq: EMAG]. The tender offer
expired at 12:00 midnight (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, April 1, 2009.
The depositary for the tender offer has advised AMICAS
that shareholders of Emageon have tendered
and not withdrawn a total of approximately 18,882,734 shares of Emageon common stock. These shares
represent approximately 88% percent of the outstanding shares of Emageon. AMICAS Acquisition
Corp. has accepted for payment all Emageon shares tendered in the offer.
AMICAS also announced that AMICAS Acquisition
Corp. intends to exercise its "top-up" option in accordance with the previously announced merger agreement with Emageon. The exercise of the
top-up option will allow AMICAS Acquisition Corp. to increase its share ownership percentage of
Emageon through the purchase of newly-issued shares of Emageon common stock at the tender offer
price. As a result, AMICAS Acquisition Corp. will own more than 90 percent of the outstanding
shares of Emageon common stock and intends to effect a short-form merger as promptly as
practicable, without the need for a meeting of Emageon shareholders. In the merger, AMICAS
Acquisition Corp. will acquire all other Emageon shares (other than those as to which holders
properly exercise dissenters' rights) at the same $1.82 per share price, without interest and less
any required withholding taxes, that was paid in the tender offer. As a result of the merger,
Emageon will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMICAS and Emageon shares will cease to be traded
on The NASDAQ Global Market.
