Intelligent Systems Corporation Announces Final Results of Its Tender Offer
May 22 2015 - 7:30AM
Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE:INS) (the
"Company") today announced the final results of its modified "Dutch
auction" tender offer, which expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York
City Time, on May 19, 2015.
Based on the final count by the depositary, an aggregate of
230,729 shares were properly tendered and not withdrawn at prices
at or below $3.00 per share. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of
the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and applicable
securities laws, the Company has accepted for purchase 230,729
shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share.
These shares represent approximately 2.6% of the shares outstanding
as of May 20, 2015. With the completion of the tender offer, the
Company will have approximately 8,727,299 shares of common stock
outstanding. The aggregate price that the Company paid in
connection with the tender offer was $692,187, excluding
transaction costs. J. Leland Strange, President and CEO, commented,
"When we began discussing strategic alternatives last December, our
stock had been trading around $1.25. After the announcement and up
to the time we announced the sale of ChemFree 3 ½ months later, the
stock slowly but steadily approximately doubled in price. We
announced our tender offer on April 22, 2015, and the day before
our stock closed at $2.79. Since we historically have traded low
volumes, we felt we should offer our shareholders, who wanted an
opportunity to sell their shares without driving the price up, the
ability to offer their shares back to the Company at a price up to
$3.00.
"We had no idea whether or not we had shareholders that fit that
description but obviously we did not. While on one hand, one could
say the tender offer was a failure since so few shares were
tendered, I consider it a complete success knowing that most of our
shareholders feel as I do that the remaining value in INS is above
this price. We appreciate their confidence and will continue to
explore alternatives to grow our business and validate their
confidence."
The tender offer was made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and
Letter of Transmittal, each dated April 22, 2015.
The information agent for the tender offer is D.F. King &
Co., Inc. and the depositary for the tender offer is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. All questions and requests
for information about the offer should be directed to D.F. King
