Item 1.02.
|
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On February 28, 2017, Parker-Hannifin Corporation
(Parker) completed its previously announced acquisition of CLARCOR Inc. (Clarcor). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated as of December 1, 2016, among Parker,
Parker Eagle Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker (Merger Sub), and Clarcor, Merger Sub merged with and into Clarcor (the Merger), with Clarcor surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker.
On February 28, 2017, in connection with the completion of the Merger, Clarcor terminated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
November 2, 2015, by and among Clarcor, CLARCOR EM Holdings, Inc., CLARCOR Engine Mobile Solutions, LLC, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, as swing line lender and as a letter of credit issuer (the
Credit Agreement). No material early termination penalties were incurred by Clarcor in connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement.
Item 2.01.
|
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
|
On February 28, 2017, pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement, Parker completed its acquisition of Clarcor through the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of Clarcor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (other than dissenting shares and shares held by Parker, Merger Sub or Clarcor or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive $83.00 in cash, without interest (the Per Share Merger
Consideration).
In addition, at the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions, each option to purchase Clarcor common stock outstanding,
whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Clarcor common stock subject to such option and (2) the amount by which the Per Share Merger
Consideration exceeded the exercise price per share, less any applicable taxes. Subject to certain exceptions, as of the Effective Time, all other Clarcor equity and equity-based awards subject to time-based or performance-based vesting conditions,
were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration provided for under their terms in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time plus any accrued cash dividend equivalents.
A copy of the Merger Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K filed by Clarcor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on
December 1, 2016 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement.
Item 3.01.
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
As
a result of the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding stock of Clarcor is currently owned by Parker. In connection with the closing of the Merger, Clarcor notified the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) on February 28, 2017 that
each of its shares of common stock (other than dissenting shares and shares held by Parker, Merger Sub or Clarcor or any of their
respective wholly owned subsidiaries, which were canceled) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger
Consideration. On February 28, 2017, the NYSE filed with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the Exchange Act) on Form 25 to
delist Clarcor common stock. Additionally, Clarcor intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act requesting that Clarcors reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

|
Changes in Control of Registrant.
|
A change in control of Clarcor occurred on February 28, 2017

Clarcor or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, which were canceled) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. As a result of the Merger,
Clarcor became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parker.
Parker paid $4.3 billion in the aggregate as consideration for the Merger. Parker used
(i) the net proceeds from its private offering of senior notes, (ii) borrowings under its existing term loan agreement, (iii) borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility and/ or commercial paper program, and (iv) cash
on hand to finance the Merger.
