Item 7.01         Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

As previously announced, on January 7, 2013, EnergySolutions, Inc. (“EnergySolutions”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among EnergySolutions, Rockwell Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Rockwell Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) relating to the acquisition of EnergySolutions by Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Energy Capital Partners II, LP (“Energy Capital Partners”). On April 5, 2013, EnergySolutions, Parent and Merger Sub entered into the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement.

 

On January 21, 2013, EnergySolutions notified the Director of the Utah Division of Radiation Control about the Merger and requested the consent of the Director of the Division of Radiation Control to the proposed indirect transfer of control of the Company’s Utah radioactive material licenses and permits pursuant to the Merger. On April 17, 2013, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Radiation Control announced that it has given its consent to the indirect transfer of control of the Company’s Utah radioactive material licenses and permits pursuant to the Merger.

 

The Company has now received the required regulatory approvals related to the Merger from the states of Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah.  Further approvals are required from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished, not filed. Accordingly, the information in this item will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by EnergySolutions or any related entity under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference therein.

 

Additional Information About the Merger and Where You Can Find It

 

In connection with the proposed acquisition of  EnergySolutions by affiliates of Energy Capital Partners, EnergySolutions has filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2013 and a supplement to the proxy statement on April 16, 2013. Additionally, EnergySolutions will file other relevant materials with the SEC in connection with the proposed acquisition of EnergySolutions by Energy Capital Partners pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Investors and security holders of EnergySolutions are urged to read these documents (if and when they become available) and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents, because they will contain important information about EnergySolutions, the proposed Merger and the parties to the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain these documents (and any other documents filed by EnergySolutions and Energy Capital Partners with the SEC) free of charge at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed with the SEC by EnergySolutions may be obtained free of charge by directing such request to: EnergySolutions Investor Relations at 1-801-649-2000 or from the investor relations website portion of EnergySolutions’ website at http://www.ir.energysolutions.com. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials when they become available before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the proposed merger.

 

EnergySolutions, Energy Capital Partners and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from EnergySolutions’ stockholders in respect of the proposed acquisition. Information regarding EnergySolutions’ directors and executive officers is contained in EnergySolutions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, its proxy statement for its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, dated May 23, 2012, and subsequent filings which EnergySolutions has made with the SEC. Stockholders may obtain additional information about the directors and executive officers of EnergySolutions and their respective interests with respect to the proposed acquisition by security holdings or otherwise, which may be different than those of EnergySolutions’ stockholders generally, by reading the definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents regarding the proposed acquisition, when filed with the SEC. Each of these documents is, or will be, available as described above.

 

Statement on Cautionary Factors

 

This communication, and all statements made regarding the subject matter of this communication, contain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform

 

2

 

Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of EnergySolutions and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (such as statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should be considered forward-looking statements. Among others, the following risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: (i) the risk that the Merger may not be consummated in a timely manner, if at all; (ii) the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require EnergySolutions to pay Energy Capital Partners Management II, LP or its designee a termination fee of up to $13,600,000, including the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to obtain stockholder approval for the Merger or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the Merger; (iii) risks related to the diversion of management’s attention from EnergySolutions’ ongoing business operations; (iv) risks regarding the failure of Energy Capital Partners to obtain the necessary financing to complete the Merger; (v) the effect of the announcement of the acquisition on EnergySolutions’ business relationships (including, without limitation, partners and customers), operating results and business generally as well as the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the Merger; (vi) risks related to obtaining the requisite consents to the acquisition, including, without limitation, the timing (including possible delays) and receipt of regulatory approvals from various governmental entities (including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these approvals) and the risk that one or more governmental entities may deny approval; (vii) risks related to the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been, or will be, instituted against EnergySolutions related to the Merger Agreement; and (viii) risks related to the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in EnergySolutions’ filings with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s website http://www.sec.gov. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results and events may differ materially from results and events currently expected by EnergySolutions. EnergySolutions and Energy Capital Partners expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change of expectations with regard thereto or to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances.
