Explanatory Note
This filing is being made pursuant to the requirements of Item 2.01 for Form 8-K with respect to filing the required financial statements and pro forma information regarding the Form 8-K filing made on December 21, 2010 by L.B. Foster Company and Subsidiaries (Foster) announcing the acquisition of Portec Rail Products, Inc. (Portec) on December 15, 2010.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On December 22, 2010, Foster was notified that, as of the expiration of the offering period, approximately 8,662,078 shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the offer, which represented approximately 90.20% of all outstanding shares of Portec. Foster has accepted for payment all shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, and payment for such shares has been made in accordance with the offer's terms. Foster effected the merger as a "short form" merger in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and West Virginia law.
On December 27, 2010, Portec became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foster pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. The merger was consummated pursuant to Section 31D-11-1105 of the West Virginia Business Corporation Act without a vote or meeting of Portec’s stockholders. In the merger, all outstanding shares of common stock of Portec were canceled and converted into the right to receive consideration equal to $11.80 per share, net to the holder in cash, without interest thereon. The total consideration paid by Foster for the shares was approximately $113,322,000.
