Millipore Announces Final Results of "Dutch Auction" Tender Offer
Beford, Massachusetts, September 29, 1994 - Millipore announced today
the final results of its "Dutch Auction" tender offer for shares of its common
stock, including the associated stock purchase rights. The Company will
purchase 3,770,538 shares at $57.25 per share. There will be no proration,
and the depositary, the First National Bank of Boston, will commence payment
for the shares accepted under the tender offer immediately.
The tender offer expired at midnight (Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday,
September 22, 1994. Millipore originally offered to purchase up to
3.5 million shares pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, but has elected
to increase the number of shares purchased as permitted by the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares to be purchased represent
approximately 13 percent of the shares outstanding immediately prior to the
tender offer. After the purchase of shares pursuant to the tender offer the
Company will have about 24.6 million shares of common stock outstanding.
Millipore recently completed the divestment of its Waters Chromatography
and Biosearch Divisions. The proceeds from these transactions, approximately
$300 million, are being applied primarily to share repurchase through this
Dutch auction tender offer and then through future share repurchases on the
open market.
J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. acted as Dealer Manager for the tender offer.
Millipore is a multinational company focused on applying purification
technology to critical research and manufacturing problems in global growth
markets, including the pharmaceutical/biotechnology, electronics/industrial,
university/government, and medical/health care markets.
