Blackbaud Completes Acquisition of Convio
Originally announced on January 17, 2012, the acquisition followed the completion of the tender offer Blackbaud made through its wholly owned subsidiary, Caribou Acquisition Corporation, for all the outstanding shares of Convio common stock for $16 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Immediately prior to the merger, Caribou Acquisition Corporation held approximately 90.4% of Convio's outstanding common stock. As a result, Blackbaud was able to complete a "short-form" merger under Delaware law where all outstanding shares of Convio common stock that were not previously tendered (other than shares held by Caribou Acquisition Corporation or Convio stockholders that properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) were converted into the right to receive the same consideration paid to stockholders in the tender offer. Blackbaud assumed Convio equity awards that were unvested as of closing. Convio's common stock has ceased trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
