On August 30, 2013, Nordson Corporation ("Nordson") completed the previously announced acquisition of all of the capital stock of Kreyenborg GmbH ("Kreyenborg"), and BKG Bruckmann & Kreyenborg Granuliertechnik ("BKG"), both with registered offices in Münster, Westphalia, Federal Republic of Germany (Kreyenborg and BKG together, the "Target Companies"), and certain assets used exclusively in the business of the Target Companies pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Kreyenborg Verwaltungen und Beteiligungen GmbH & Co. KG and Kreyenborg Verwaltungs-GmbH, both with registered offices in Münster, Westphalia, Federal Republic of Germany, and Mr. Jan-Udo Kreyenborg.
