PORTLAND, OR and ARLINGTON, VA--(Marketwire - October 4, 2010) - FLIR Systems, Inc. (
FLIR intends to complete the acquisition of all remaining shares of ICx through a "short-form merger" under Delaware law, that is, without a vote or meeting of ICx's remaining shareholders, which is expected to occur on or about Monday, October 4, 2010. In the merger, each of the remaining outstanding shares of ICx common stock (other than shares owned directly or indirectly by ICx, FLIR, Indicator Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries, and shares owned by shareholders of ICx who perfect their appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $7.55 per share, in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, which is the same amount per share paid in the tender offer. As will be described in ICx's Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights to be mailed by ICx after the merger, the amount of time permitted by Delaware law to exercise appraisal rights will be extended by 15 days to 35 days after the date of the mailing of such notice. Following the completion of the merger, ICx's common stock will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.
