Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 21, 2004, Citrix Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Citrix), and Hal Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citrix (Merger Sub), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Net6, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation headquartered in San Jose, California (Net6), and Tim Guleri as stockholder representative. There are no material relationships among Citrix, Net6, Tim Guleri or any of their respective affiliates or any of the parties to the Merger Agreement and related agreements, other than in respect of such agreements themselves.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Citrix proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding voting securities of Net6 by means of a merger of Net6 and Merger Sub, with Net6 continuing as the surviving corporation (the Merger). The total consideration for this transaction is approximately $50,000,000, subject to adjustment for a working capital excess or deficiency, payable in cash and the assumption of certain stock options upon the closing of the transaction.
The Merger has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both Citrix and Net6 and has been approved by the stockholders of Net6. The closing of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions. The parties to the Merger Agreement anticipate completing the Merger as soon as all such closing conditions have been satisfied.
