Business Wire
Cybex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI), a leading U.S.
manufacturer of premium exercise equipment (“Cybex” or the
“Company”), announced today that the proposed “going private”
merger pursuant to which each of its outstanding shares of common
stock - other than shares owned by its largest shareholder, UM
Holdings, Ltd. (“UM”), and UM’s subsidiaries and shareholders,
which include John Aglialoro, Cybex’s Chairman and CEO, and Joan
Carter, a director of the Company – will be converted into $2.55
per share payable in cash, has been overwhelmingly approved at the
Special Meeting of Shareholders held February 6, 2013.
Approximately 84% of the outstanding shares of Cybex common stock
were voted at the meeting, including over 68% of outstanding shares
held by the public shareholders. Of the proxies received from the
public shareholders, over 95% were voted in favor of the
merger.
Consummation of the merger continues subject to standard closing
conditions, which the Company anticipates being satisfied within
the next week. Upon consummation of the merger, all outstanding
shares of the Company’s common stock (other than shares held by UM,
its subsidiaries, and Mr. Aglialoro and Ms. Carter) will be
cancelled in exchange for $2.55 per share, cash. Cybex shares will
be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company will no longer be subject
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the shares
will no longer trade on any market.
Shortly after the merger is completed, Cybex will forward to its
shareholders a letter of transmittal with instructions on how to
send share certificates to the paying agent in order to receive the
merger consideration. This letter of transmittal must be used to
exchange shares of common stock for the merger consideration
following the merger. No shareholder should send any share
certificates until the shareholder has received notice that the
merger is complete accompanied by the letter of transmittal.
