Introductory Note

On December 31, 2012, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 14, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Teavana Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Teavana”), Starbucks Corporation (“Starbucks”) and Taj Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the Merger, on December 31, 2012, the Company repaid all amounts (including principal and interest) accrued and outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof), among the Company, Teavana Corporation, ST Acquisition Company, Teavana Franchising Corporation, Teavana International, Inc., and Teavana Gift Company, as obligors, and Fifth Third Bank as lender. No penalties were required to be paid in connection with such repayment.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth under “Introductory Note” of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

On December 31, 2012, the Merger was consummated and, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”):

●

Teavana became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Starbucks.

●

Each outstanding share of Teavana common stock, other than shares owned by Teavana, Starbucks or Merger Sub (which were cancelled) was converted into the right to receive $15.50 in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”).

●

Each company option outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, whether or not then vested and exercisable, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive, for each share of Teavana common stock subject to such stock option, an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes, equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such option.

Certain stockholders and executives of Teavana have placed a portion of the proceeds payable with respect to their shares and stock options into escrow to cover certain potential costs including relating to integration matters. Public stockholders are not subject to this escrow arrangement and accordingly their Merger Consideration was not reduced thereby.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Teavana’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company and Starbucks on December 31, 2012 announcing the completion of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act requesting the termination of the registration of the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
