Item
8.01. Other Events
On November
14, 2019, IBM received notification of an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer by Novus First Inc. (“NFI”),
dated November 11, 2019, to purchase up to 40,000 shares of IBM’s common stock, which is approximately 0.0045% of the 885,637,454
shares outstanding as of September 30, 2019, at a price of $111.00 per share in cash. NFI’s offer price is approximately
19.34% less than the $137.61 closing price of IBM’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on November 8, 2019, the
last trading day before the mini-tender offer commenced.
IBM
does not endorse NFI’s mini-tender offer and recommends that IBM stockholders do not tender their shares in response to
the offer because the offer is at a price below the current market price for IBM’s shares. IBM urges stockholders
to obtain current market quotes for their shares, to review the conditions to NFI’s mini-tender offer, to consult with their
brokers or financial advisors and to exercise caution with respect to this mini-tender offer. IBM is not associated with NFI,
its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation.
Mini-tender
offers are designed to seek to acquire less than 5 percent of a company’s outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure
and procedural requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that apply to offers for more than 5
percent of a company’s outstanding shares. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level
of protection as provided by larger tender offers under United States federal securities laws.
The
SEC has cautioned investors about these offers, noting that “[s]ome bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices,
hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.”
The SEC’s Tips for Investors regarding mini-tender offers may be found on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.
IBM
encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC’s letter regarding broker-dealer
mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures at www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm and NASD’s
Notice to Members 99-53, issued July 1999, regarding guidance to members forwarding mini-tender offers to their customers,
which can be found at www.finra.org/web/groups/industry/@ip/@reg/@notice/documents/notices/p004221.pdf.
IBM
requests that a copy of this 8-K be included with all distributions of materials relating to NFI’s mini-tender offer.
IBM’s
web site (www.ibm.com) contains a significant amount of information about IBM, including financial and other information
for investors (www.ibm.com/investor/). IBM encourages investors to visit its various web sites from time to time, as information
is updated and new information is posted.
SIGNATURE

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
