On July 15, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Photon Control (the “Photon Control Acquisition”), pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”). Photon Control designs, manufactures and distributes a wide range of optical sensors and systems to measure temperature and position used in semiconductor wafer fabrication. At the effective time of the Photon Control Acquisition and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, each share of Photon Control’s common stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Photon Control Acquisition, was converted into the right to receive CAD 3.60 per share in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax. The Company paid to the former Photon Control securityholders aggregate consideration of CAD 386.9, or USD $309.5, excluding related transaction fees and expenses. The Company funded the payment of the aggregate consideration with available cash on hand. Photon Control will be included in the Company’s Light & Motion segment.       

On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Implementation Agreement”) to acquire Atotech Limited (“Atotech”), a leading process chemicals technology company and a market leader in advanced electroplating solutions. Pursuant to the Implementation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $16.20 per share in cash and 0.0552 of a share of MKS common stock for each outstanding common share of Atotech, for total cash and stock consideration of approximately $5.1 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, approval by the Royal Court of Jersey and approval by Atotech’s shareholders. The Company’s obligations to complete the acquisition are not subject to any financing condition. The Company intends to fund the cash portion of the transaction with a combination of available cash on hand and committed term loan debt financing.  In connection with entering into the Implementation Agreement, the Company entered into (a) a commitment letter (the “Initial Commitment Letter”), dated as of July 1, 2021, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC (collectively, the “Initial Commitment Parties”) and (b) joinders to the Initial Commitment Letter to add certain additional lender parties (the “Commitment Letter Joinders” and, together with the Initial Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letter”) dated as of July 23, 2021, with the Initial Commitment Parties and the additional lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Supplemental Commitment Parties” and, together with the Initial Commitment Parties, the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Parties committed to provide (i) a senior secured term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5.3 billion (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility with aggregate total commitments of $500 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”).  The New Term Loan Facility and New Revolving Credit Facility would replace the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility, respectively.  The Commitment Parties’ obligations under the Commitment Letter are subject to certain customary conditions including, without limitation, the consummation of the acquisition of Atotech in accordance with the Implementation Agreement, the accuracy of specified representations and warranties of the Company and other customary closing conditions.
