Wilson Sonsini Advises Intevac on Acquisition by Seagate
On February 13, 2025, Seagate Technology Holdings plc, a leading innovator of mass-capacity data storage, and Intevac, Inc., a supplier of thin-film processing systems, announced that Seagate has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Intevac in an all-cash transaction for $4.00 per share. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati has represented Intevac for decades and advised the company in connection with this acquisition.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, Intevac will pay a one-time special dividend of $0.052 per share. Separately, Intevac’s board of directors has declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share, which will be paid on March 13, 2025, to Intevac stockholders of record as of February 28, 2025. The transaction and the special dividend deliver aggregate consideration to Intevac stockholders of $4.052 per share, or $4.102 per share including Intevac’s regular quarterly dividend. This represents a premium of 45 percent to Intevac’s closing price of $2.83 per share on December 11, 2024, one day prior to Intevac’s announcement that it had renewed its focus on pursuing strategic options; a premium of approximately 21 percent to Intevac’s closing price of $3.38 per share on February 12, 2025; and an aggregate value of approximately $119 million, including both dividends.
