This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement filed on Schedule TO, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 24, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, including Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on December 3, 2014, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on December 5, 2014, Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on December 8, 2014, Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on December 10, 2014 and this Amendment, the “Schedule TO”), which relates to the offer by Koch Optics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Koch Industries”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and the associated preferred share purchase rights (collectively, the “Shares”), of Oplink Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Oplink”), at a purchase price of $24.25 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 24, 2014 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are filed with this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Koch Industries and the Purchaser. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO.

 

Amendments to the Schedule TO

 

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, December 22, 2014. The Depositary advised us that as of such time 14,701,501 Shares were validly tendered into, and not properly withdrawn from, the Offer, representing approximately 83.84% of the outstanding Shares. All Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn have been accepted for purchase and paid for by the Purchaser.

 

As a result of the purchase of Shares in the Offer, the Purchaser had ownership sufficient to effect the Merger under DGCL Section 251(h) without a vote of stockholders of Oplink. Accordingly, the Purchaser has effected the Merger in which the Purchaser merged with and into Oplink, with Oplink surviving the Merger and continuing as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. In the Merger, each Share outstanding (other than Shares accepted for payment in the Offer, Shares held by Parent or the Purchaser or Shares for which an Oplink stockholder has properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive a price per Share equal to the Offer Price. The Shares ceased to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market prior to the opening of business on December 23, 2014, and Oplink has requested that the NASDAQ Global Market file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Common Stock and associated Rights.

 

On December 23, 2014, Parent, the Purchaser and Oplink issued a joint press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(C) and is incorporated herein by reference.”

 

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit thereto:

 

(a)(5)(C) Joint Press Release issued by Parent, the Purchaser and Oplink on December 23, 2014.
