Item 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of April 28, 2005 by and among Pixelworks, Inc. (“Pixelworks”), Equator Technologies, Inc. (“Equator”), Twain Sub, Inc. (“Sub”), and Robert C. Fox, Jr., as Shareholders’ Agent, Sub was merged with and into Equator (the “Merger”) effective as of June 14, 2005 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, Equator became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pixelworks.

 

Pixelworks acquired Equator for approximately $109 million in cash.  In addition, Pixelworks assumed all options to purchase Equator capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Pixelworks funded the cash portion of the consideration payable in the Merger through cash-on-hand.

 

The amount of the consideration paid in the Merger was determined through arms-length negotiations between representatives of Pixelworks and Equator. Prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, no material relationship existed between Pixelworks and Equator or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of Pixelworks, or any associate of any such director or officer.

 

Prior to the Merger, Equator was a privately held fabless semiconductor company providing leading programmable digital video and audio encoding and decoding solutions with its family of Broadband Signal Processor, or BSP™, ICs.
