(the “U.S. Borrowers”), DDi Toronto Corp., as Canadian Borrower (the “Canadian Borrower”), the Company and certain other subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and U.S. Lender, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent and Canadian Lender (the “Credit Agreement”). Concurrently with the acquisition by Viasystems Group, Inc. (“Viasystems”) of the Company on May 31, 2012, the Company repaid in full and terminated the Credit Agreement.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 31, 2012, Viasystems completed its previously announced acquisition of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Viasystems, the Company and Victor Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viasystems, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation, under the new name of Viasystems North America, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viasystems.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (other than treasury shares held by Company, shares held by Viasystems or its subsidiaries and shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with applicable law) was converted and exchanged into the right to receive $13.00 in cash, without interest.

In connection with the completion of the merger on May 31, 2012, the Company notified the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that the merger had been completed, and trading of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ was suspended. NASDAQ filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25, Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, the Company’s common stock has been suspended from listing on NASDAQ and been withdrawn from registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
