On August 1, 2005, Computer Associates International, Inc. (“CA”) announced that the merger of Nebraska Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CA, with and into Niku Corporation (“Niku”), a Delaware corporation, was consummated on July 29, 2005 in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 9, 2005, by and among CA, Merger Sub and Niku (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Niku is now a wholly owned subsidiary of CA.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of Niku has been converted into the right to receive $21.00 in cash, without interest. The aggregate cash consideration to be paid by CA is approximately $350 million. Additionally, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase common stock of Niku, whether vested or unvested, has been assumed by CA and now represents an option to acquire shares of common stock of CA on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
A copy of CA’s press release announcing the completion of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
