Introductory Note

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 13, 2025, Intevac, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2025, with Seagate Technology Holdings plc, an Irish public limited company (“Parent”), and Irvine Acquisition Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on March 3, 2025, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company in exchange for $4.00 per share, payable in cash at closing, without interest and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding of taxes (the “Offer Consideration”).

The Offer expired as scheduled one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on March 28, 2025 (such date and time, the “Expiration Time”) and was not extended. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as depositary and paying agent for the Offer (the “Depositary and Paying Agent”), has advised Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Time, 23,968,013 shares of Common Stock had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, which represent approximately 87.95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock tendered satisfied the condition to the Offer that there be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn shares of Common Stock that, considered together with all other shares (if any) owned by Purchaser and its affiliates, including Parent, represent one more share than 50% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Offer. On March 31, 2025, Purchaser accepted for payment all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

In addition, the Company paid its regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on March 13, 2025, to stockholders of record of the Company as of February 28, 2025. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company paid a one-time special dividend of $0.052 per share (the “Special Dividend”) on March 28, 2025, to stockholders of record of the Company as of March 24, 2025.

Following the consummation of the Offer, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and without a meeting or a vote of the Company’s stockholders, on March 31, 2025, Purchaser was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving such Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares of Common Stock that were owned by the Company or held in the treasury of the Company, (ii) shares of Common Stock then held by Parent or Purchaser, and (iii) shares of Common Stock then held by any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (other than Purchaser) or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) were converted automatically into and thereafter represent only the right to receive the Offer Consideration.

In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, compensatory options to purchase shares of Common Stock (each a “Company Option”) received the following treatment:


each Company Option with an exercise price per share that was less than the amount of the Offer Consideration was cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the excess of the amount of the Offer Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of such Company Option; and


each Company Option with an exercise price per share that was equal to or greater than the amount of the Offer Consideration and that was then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, was cancelled with no consideration payable in respect thereof.

In addition, at the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit of the Company that vests based solely on the continued performance of services and not the achievement of performance metrics (each a “Company RSU”) vested in full and, whether or not vested, was cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Offer Consideration.

In connection with the Merger, restricted stock units of the Company that vest based on the continued performance of services and the achievement of performance metrics (each a “Company PRSU”) received the following treatment:


immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company PRSU granted in 2022 that was then outstanding was cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) 25% of the “Number of RSUs Subject to Award” listed in the applicable award agreement multiplied by (y) the Offer Consideration;


immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company PRSU granted in 2025 that was then outstanding was cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the “Target RSUs” listed in the applicable award agreement multiplied by (y) the Offer Consideration; and


prior to the Effective Time, each Company PRSU granted in 2023 and each Company PRSU granted in 2024 was cancelled with no consideration payable in respect thereof.

The foregoing description of the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on February 13, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.
