Introductory Note.

As previously disclosed on June 29, 2017 in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by The Spectranetics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company is party to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 27, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Philips Holding USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and HealthTech Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”).

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 9, 2017, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company terminated (i) the amended and restated term credit and security agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), dated June 9, 2017, by and among the Company and AngioScore Inc., as borrowers (jointly, the “Borrowers”), MidCap Financial Trust, as administrative agent and as a lender, and the other lenders party thereto and (ii) the amended and restated revolving credit and security agreement (the “Revolving Loan Credit Agreement”, and together with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), dated June 9, 2017, by and among the Borrowers, MidCap Funding IV Trust, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. In connection with the termination, the Company repaid all of the outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest and fees under the Credit Agreements.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on July 12, 2017, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Shares”), for $38.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash (the “Offer Price”), without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 12, 2017 (as amended or supplemented), and the related Letter of Transmittal.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on August 9, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time on August 8, 2017), as scheduled, and was not extended. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the depositary and paying agent in the Offer (the “Depositary and Paying Agent”), advised Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 37,685,108 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which Notices of Guaranteed Delivery were delivered) had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 85.5% of the outstanding Shares. As a result, on August 9, 2017, Purchaser accepted for payment (such time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”) all such Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Time, and payment for such Shares was made on August 9, 2017 to the Depositary and Paying Agent, which will act as agent for tendering stockholders for the purpose of receiving payments for tendered Shares and transmitting such payments to tendering stockholders whose Shares have been accepted for payment, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The Depositary and Paying Agent also advised Parent and Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Time, it received Notices of Guaranteed Delivery with respect to 2,700,773 additional Shares, representing approximately 6.1% of the outstanding Shares.

On August 9, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger was effected without a vote or meeting of the Company stockholders pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares subject to vesting or forfeiture conditions, (ii) Shares owned by the Company as treasury stock, (iii) Shares accepted by Purchaser in the Offer and (iv) Shares owned by any stockholders who properly exercised their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Merger) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (without interest and less any applicable tax withholding).

The aggregate consideration paid by Purchaser in the Offer and Merger was approximately $1.7 billion, including related transaction fees and expenses. Parent and Purchaser funded the payment of Shares from cash on hand as well as the issuance of debt.

The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 29, 2017, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

As a result of the transactions described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which description is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01, on August 9, 2017, the Company (i) notified the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company also intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

As a result of the completion of the Offer, a change of control of the Company occurred at the Acceptance Time. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Parent.

The total amount of funds required to purchase all outstanding Shares in the Offer and to provide funding in connection with the Merger was approximately $1.7 billion, including related transaction fees and expenses.
