Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 24, 2013, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation, dated as of January 18, 2013 (the “Amalgamation Agreement”), by and among 2357575 Ontario Limited, an Ontario, Canada corporation (“Parent”), SC Acquisitionco Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company and a subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), and SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), the Company and Acquisition Sub amalgamated under the laws of Bermuda (the “Amalgamation”) and the amalgamated company (the “Amalgamated Company”) became a subsidiary of Parent. Parent is an affiliate of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (“OTPP”), a corporation without share capital organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada.
Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, at the effective time of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding common share, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”) (other than (i) Common Shares that were held by any shareholders who properly demanded appraisal in connection with the Amalgamation under applicable law (“Dissenting Shares”), (ii) Common Shares owned by the Company or Parent or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries and (iii) the Carry-Forward Share (as such term is defined in the Amalgamation Agreement)) was converted into the right to receive US$23.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax (the “Transaction Consideration”). At the Effective Time, any vesting conditions or restrictions applicable to each restricted Common Share of the Company (each, a “Restricted Share”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time lapsed and each such Restricted Share was treated in accordance with the procedures outlined above for Common Shares.
The foregoing description of the Amalgamation Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amalgamation Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 22, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
In connection with the Amalgamation, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of the consummation of the Amalgamation and requested that the NYSE file with the SEC an application on Form 25 to report that the Common Shares are no longer listed on the NYSE. In addition, the Company intends to file with the SEC a certification and notice of termination on Form 15 with respect to the Common Shares, requesting that the Common Shares be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the reporting obligations of the Company with respect to the Common Shares under the Exchange Act be suspended.
