Synopsys Extends Tender Offer for Outstanding Shares of inSilicon Common Stock
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., September 5, 2002 - Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Ferrite Acquisition Corp., is extending the expiration date of its offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of inSilicon Corporation (Nasdaq: INSN), at a price of $4.05 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in its offer to purchase and the related letter of transmittal for the offer, until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, September 12, 2002.
The offer had been previously scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, September 4, 2002. The depositary for the offer has advised Synopsys and Ferrite Acquisition Corp. that, as of 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 4, 2002, an aggregate of 14,242,405 shares of inSilicon common stock had been tendered to Ferrite Acquisition Corp. in the offer (including all of the 10,450,010 shares held by inSilicon's majority stockholder, Phoenix Technologies Ltd.), representing approximately 93% of the outstanding shares of inSilicon common stock, which also constitutes a majority of the fully diluted shares of inSilicon common stock calculated in the manner described in the offer to purchase for the offer. In addition, the depositary for the offer has advised Synopsys and Ferrite Acquisition Corp. that, as of 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 4, 2002, notices of guaranteed delivery had been received in respect of approximately 230,636 shares of inSilicon common stock.
The expiration date of the offer is being extended because the initial 30-day waiting period applicable to the pre-merger notification filing made by the parties under the Fair Trade Law of Taiwan has not expired nor has the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission made a decision not to exercise jurisdiction over the transaction. Satisfaction of the Taiwanese requirements is a condition to the obligation of Ferrite Acquisition Corp. to purchase tendered shares. Additional information about the extension of the expiration date may be found in the Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule TO that Ferrite Acquisition Corp. and Synopsys filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2002.
