Any capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.

All information in the Schedule 14D-9 is incorporated into this Amendment No. 5 by reference, except that such information is hereby amended to the extent specifically provided herein.

This Amendment No. 5 is being filed to reflect certain updates as reflected below.

 

Item 8. Additional Information.

Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following as new paragraphs:

(i) Expiration of the Offer

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, January 21, 2011. Based on information provided by the depositary, as of 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, January 21, 2011, a total of 7,562,610 Shares were validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn (including 352,072 Shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 61% of the outstanding Shares. Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn (excluding shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery) and agreed to promptly pay for such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Shares validly tendered in satisfaction of guaranteed delivery procedures will also be accepted for payment and promptly paid for in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

On January 24, 2011, ASSA ABLOY and LaserCard issued a joint press release announcing the expiration and results of the initial period of the Offer and that Purchaser has commenced a subsequent offering period for all remaining untendered Shares. The subsequent offering period will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, January 27, 2011, unless extended. During the subsequent offering period, holders of Shares who did not previously tender their Shares during the Offer may do so. Purchaser will immediately accept for payment all Shares properly tendered during the subsequent offering period and will promptly pay the same $6.25 per Share, net to the seller in cash without interest thereon, paid during the initial offering period of the Offer. The procedures for accepting the Offer and tendering Shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as those described in the Offer to Purchase, except that (i) the guaranteed delivery procedures may not be used during the subsequent offering period and (ii) pursuant to applicable law, Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. The foregoing summary with respect to the joint press release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the joint press release which is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(G) to Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule TO, filed on January 24, 2011, and is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

Item 9. Exhibits.

Item 9 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:
