On January 19, 2016, Tetra Tech, Inc. (the “Registrant”) announced that its off-market takeover bid for all of the outstanding shares of Coffey International Limited (“Coffey”), a publicly traded Australian corporation (ASX: COF), is free from all conditions required to close the purchase.  The Registrant has received tendered shares representing approximately 93% of Coffey shares and sufficient acceptances to compulsorily acquire all remaining shares.  Accordingly, the Registrant has appointed new Coffey directors to replace the Board, which resigned effective January 18, 2016.  The new Board named Ronald J. Chu, the Registrant’s Executive Vice President and President of Resource Management and Energy, as Coffey’s Chief Executive Officer.  A copy of the press release issued by the Registrant concerning this matter is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

The information contained in this Item 8.01, and in the accompanying exhibit, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Registrant, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference to such filing.  The information in this Current Report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
