Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously disclosed, on November 9, 2012, Titanium Metals Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), Precision
Castparts Corp. (Parent) and ELIT Acquisition Sub Corp. (Purchaser), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and
upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Purchaser commenced a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company (the Shares) at a price of $16.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon and less any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 20, 2012 (as amended or supplemented, the Offer to Purchase), and the
related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase, constituted the Offer). The Offer, as extended, expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 20, 2012. Following the acceptance of Shares by Purchaser,
the Company became a subsidiary of Parent.
Following the expiration of the Offer, Purchaser commenced a subsequent offering
period of the Offer to acquire all remaining untendered Shares, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 4, 2013. Based on the information provided by the depositary for the Offer, Purchaser accepted for payment a total of
7,711,288 Shares that were validly tendered in the subsequent offering period of the Offer, representing approximately 4.4% of the Companys outstanding Shares. Together with the Shares purchased in the initial offering period, as of January 4,
2013, Purchaser owned a total of 158,231,903 Shares, representing approximately 90.4% of the outstanding Shares.
Based on the
per Share price and the number of Shares validly tendered and accepted for payment at the expiration of the subsequent offering period of the Offer, the value of the Shares purchased by Purchaser in connection with the subsequent offering period of
the Offer was $127,236,252. Parent funded the purchase of the tendered Shares from the proceeds of its previously announced $3.0 billion note offering pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated December 17, 2012, with the several underwriters
named therein, for whom Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as representatives.
On January 7, 2013, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser merged with and into the Company (the Merger) with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), all remaining outstanding Shares not tendered in the Offer (other than Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company or Shares held by Company
stockholders, if any, who are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) were acquired for cash at the same $16.50 per Share price, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, that was paid in the Offer.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and
is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
