Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc. (“Fuel Systems” or “the Company”) (FSYS) announced that a revised definitive proxy statement/prospectus has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with Fuel Systems’ pending merger with Westport Innovations Inc. ("Westport")(TSX: WPT / Nasdaq: WPRT). The revised proxy statement/prospectus also provides supplemental disclosure related to an amendment entered into on March 6, 2016 to the merger agreement between Fuel Systems, Westport and a wholly owned subsidiary of Westport, and other recent developments. On or about May 2, 2016, Fuel Systems will commence mailing the revised proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders.
The Fuel Systems board of directors recommends that Fuel Systems stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the amended merger agreement, which is necessary to complete the merger and “FOR” the other proposals described in the revised proxy statement/prospectus. Fuel Systems shareholders may vote by telephone or via the internet by following the instructions on the proxy card that they will receive in the mail.
After a thorough strategic evaluation process, the Fuel Systems board determined that the combination with Westport is advisable and in the best interest of Fuel Systems and its stockholders.
Strategic Highlights include:
Compelling Value for Fuel Systems’ Stockholders – Fuel Systems’ stockholders will receive stock consideration, allowing them to benefit from potential increased efficiencies created by the combination and upside potential of the combined company. The amended merger agreement provides Fuel Systems’ stockholders with a collar-based exchange ratio to provide additional protection for lower Westport share prices. Fuel Systems’ stockholders will receive Westport common shares for each Fuel Systems common share they own upon closing of the merger based on the exchange process described in the amended merger agreement.
Increased Scale and Opportunity to Better Serve Customers – The combined company will have a broad global reach, complementary research and development capabilities and increased scale and product diversity.
Complementary Product Mix and Customer Offering – The combined company will offer comprehensive solutions in light- and heavy-duty transportation applications and industrial-focused applications, serving the world’s largest and fastest growing markets. The combined asset base is comprised of state-of the-art facilities strategically located across five continents and a leading distribution network spanning 70 countries.
Broadened Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Relationships – Both companies have built long-standing relationships with OEMs such as General Motors Company, Ford Motor Company, Nissan Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation, Subaru of Fuji Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Group, Volvo Car Group, Volkswagen, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Tata Motors, GAZ Group, PACCAR Inc., Weichai and Cummins.
A High-Value IP Portfolio – Both companies have a long history of technology innovation and engineering capabilities, which have garnered the interest and demand from global vehicle and engine OEMs. The combined company will have filed over 500 patents in CNG/LNG/LPG parts and systems worldwide. This combination of a strong intellectual property position, prolific development and commercialization efforts will help expand the product pipeline for the industry.
