ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
As reported on Form 8-K dated October 27, 2005, effective October 26, 2005, and pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 11, 2005, as amended on August 29, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Brooks Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Brooks”), Helix Technology Corporation (“Helix”), a Delaware corporation, and Mt. Hood Corporation (“Mt. Hood”), a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Brooks, Mt. Hood has merged with and into Helix, with Helix being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).
In connection with the Merger, each share of Helix common stock, par value $1.00 per share, other than shares held by Helix as treasury stock and shares held by Brooks and Mt. Hood, were cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive 1.11 (“Exchange Ratio”) shares of Brooks common stock, par value $.01 per share. In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, Brooks assumed all options then outstanding under Helix’s existing equity incentive plans, each of which now entitle the holder to purchase, to the extent exercisable, a number of shares of Brooks common stock (and at an exercise price) adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.
