Introductory Note

As previously disclosed, on August 7, 2022, CyberOptics Corporation (“CyberOptics” or the “Company”) entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nordson Corporation (“Parent”) and Meta Merger Company (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”).

On November 3, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the internal laws of the State of Minnesota, the Merger was completed. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and the Company survived the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described above, at the Effective Time on the Closing Date, Parent completed its previously announced acquisition of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of CyberOptics, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), subject to certain exceptions, was automatically converted into the right to receive $54.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

At the Effective Time, each stock option that was vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and each stock option that was unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Unvested Stock Option”) and was held by individuals who are employees of CyberOptics immediately prior to the Effective Time but who will not be employed by the surviving corporation, Parent or any of their respective affiliates immediately following the Merger was cancelled and converted in to the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the (i) aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to such stock option multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price for such stock option.

At the Effective Time, each Unvested Stock Option that was held by individuals who remain employed by the surviving corporation and its subsidiaries or who become employed by Parent or one of its subsidiaries, in each case, as of the Effective Time, was converted into an option to acquire a number of Parent shares of common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to the option multiplied by (ii) a fraction, or equity exchange ratio, the numerator of which is the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which is the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of Parent common stock on Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or such other authoritative source as mutually agreed between Parent and CyberOptics) on each of the five consecutive trading days ending with the second complete trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, with the number of shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. The exercise price for these converted options equals the exercise price for each share of the Company’s Common Stock subject to CyberOptics option divided by the equity exchange ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Otherwise, each converted Unvested Stock Option has substantially identical terms and conditions to those applicable to such Unvested Stock Option immediately prior to the Merger.

At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit of CyberOptics (“Company RSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became fully vested and was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to such Company RSU.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested restricted stock award of CyberOptics was canceled in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On the Closing Date, the Company notified Nasdaq that the Merger had been completed, and requested that Nasdaq suspend trading of the Common Stock on Nasdaq and remove the Common Stock from listing on Nasdaq, in each case, at the close of business on the Closing Date. The Company also requested that Nasdaq file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 to delist the Common Stock from Nasdaq and to deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On the Closing Date, in accordance with the Company’s request, Nasdaq filed the Form 25 with the SEC.

Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a certification and notice of termination on Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be terminated with respect to the Common Stock.
