This is the first step in 3M’s two-step acquisition of Ceradyne. 3M plans to finish the final step in its acquisition today, which will be a short-form merger under Delaware law, and see its wholly owned subsidiary Cyborg Acquisition, merge with and into Ceradyne. Each share of Ceradyne common stock not tendered in the tender offer, that is not held by 3M, will be converted into the right to receive US$35 per share in cash.
