The principal executive office of Issuer is located at 2071 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Schedule 13D is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by BGI-Shenzhen, a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“BGI”), and Beta Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of BGI (“Purchaser,” and together with BGI, the “Reporting Persons”). The address of the principal business and the principal office of the Reporting Persons is 11F-3, Main Building, Bei Shan Industrial Zone, Yantian District, Shenzhen, China 518083. BGI includes both non-profit genomic research institutes and sequencing application commercial units that provide comprehensive sequencing and bioinformatics services for medical, agricultural and environmental applications. Purchaser was formed for the sole purpose of merging with and into Issuer.

The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer (including a director and officer who may be a controlling person) of BGI and Purchaser is set forth on Schedule A. During the last five years, neither BGI, Purchaser nor, to the knowledge of BGI or Purchaser, any of the persons listed on Schedule A, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds

Merger Agreement

On September 15, 2012, Issuer, BGI and Purchaser entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding Shares, or such reduced amount of Shares as provided in the Merger Agreement, at a purchase price of $3.15 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the tendering shareholder in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Offer set forth in the Merger Agreement. Upon successful completion of the Offer, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will merge with and into Issuer (the “Merger”), and Issuer will survive the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BGI (the “Surviving Corporation”).

In the Merger Agreement, Issuer has granted to Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) exercisable only in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to purchase at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price, that number of newly issued Shares equal to the lowest number of Shares, that when added to the number of Shares collectively owned by BGI or Purchaser at the time of such exercise, constitutes one Share more than 90% of the sum of the then outstanding Shares. The maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to the Top-Up Option is equal to the maximum number of Shares authorized and unissued or held in the treasury of Issuer. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of these Shares.

Tender and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to BGI’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, BGI and Purchaser entered into a Tender and Support Agreement (the “Tender and Support Agreement”) dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement with the directors, executive officers and certain beneficial owners of 6,094,109 Shares (each a “Shareholder”). The purpose of the Tender and Support Agreement is to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. None of the Shareholders were paid any additional consideration in connection with entering into the Tender and Support Agreement.

Pursuant to the Tender and Support Agreement, each of the Shareholders, among other things, (i) agreed to tender all of their Shares, including any additional Shares acquired prior to the effective time of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, in the Offer as promptly as practicable after receipt of the Letter of Transmittal and all other documents required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer (and in any event on or before the 10th business day after the commencement of the Offer), and not to withdraw such Shares from the Offer unless the Offer is terminated by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or the Tender and Support Agreement is terminated; (ii) agreed to vote (a) in favor of the approval of the principal terms of the Merger, if applicable, (b) against (I) any agreement or arrangement related to any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or (II) any liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or other significant corporate reorganization of Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or (III) any other proposal or transaction the approval of which is intended or could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent, postpone, discourage, frustrate or materially delay the Offer or the Merger and (c) in favor of any other matter necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) granted an irrevocable proxy appointing Parent and any designee of Parent as such Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy to vote with respect to the Merger and related matters; and (iv) agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to (a) transfer their Shares that are subject to the Tender and Support Agreement, (b) enter into any contract with respect to any transfer of such Shares, (c) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization with respect to such Shares, (d) deposit or permit the deposit of such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares, or (e) take or agree to take or permit any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of its obligations under the Tender or Support Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or otherwise make any representation or warranty of each Shareholder therein untrue or incorrect. Other than with respect to the matters described in, and subject to the limitations set forth in, the Tender and Support Agreement, BGI and Purchaser do not have the right to vote or direct the vote of, or to dispose or to direct the disposition of, any of the Shares subject thereto.

The Tender and Support Agreement will terminate automatically, without any notice or other action by any person, upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, subject to the continuation for 180 days after termination of the obligations of the Shareholders described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding paragraph if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, (ii) the effective time of the Merger, or (iii) any change in the form (other than to add new additional consideration) or decrease in the amount of consideration payable in the Offer.

Bridge Loan

On September 15, 2012, in connection with entry into the Merger Agreement described above, Issuer, BGI and BGI-HONGKONG Co., Limited, a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong and wholly owned subsidiary of BGI (the “Lender”), entered into a Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Note”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, Issuer may draw up to an aggregate principal amount of $30 million, with the first draw in the amount of $6 million to be funded by the Lender on or about October 1, 2012. Thereafter Issuer may draw up to an additional $6 million once per calendar month beginning in November 2012 subject to certain conditions, including the Merger Agreement being in full force and the absence of certain events of default. All amounts drawn under the Note shall bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and the Note will mature on the earlier of September 30, 2014, the occurrence of a change in control (customarily defined) or an event of default occurring. The Note is unsecured and Lender has entered into subordination agreements (the “Subordination Agreements”) with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”) and ATEL Ventures, Inc. (“ATEL” and together with Oxford, the “Senior Lenders”) whereby Lender has agreed to subordinate its indebtedness under the Note to the indebtedness owed by Issuer to the Senior Lenders. The loan proceeds from the Note are to be used to fund Issuer’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements in the ordinary course of Issuer’s business.

All amounts outstanding under the Note may be convertible at any time after the termination of the Merger Agreement into common stock of Issuer at the Offer Price. If a change of control (customarily defined) occurs, Lender may elect to have such conversion occur upon such change of control. Upon a conversion of all amounts outstanding under the Note, Issuer is required to prepare, within 30 days from such conversion, a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to all of the converted shares, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective. In addition to the foregoing registration right, subject to certain exceptions, if Issuer registers any shares of its common stock, Lender will have the right to include any converted shares in such registration.

The Note also contains covenants that restrict Issuer’s ability to, among other things, incur or assume certain debt, merge or consolidate, materially change the nature of its business, make certain investments, acquire or dispose of assets, make guaranties or grant liens on its assets, make certain loans, advances or investments, declare dividends or make distributions or enter into transactions with affiliates. The company may incur indebtedness that is subordinated to the indebtedness under the Note.

 

5


The events of default under the Note include payment defaults, material breaches of covenants, bankruptcy events and the occurrence of an event of default that continues under that certain Loan and Security Agreement between Issuer and Oxford, dated as of March 25, 2011, as amended (the “Oxford Loan Agreement”). In the case of a continuing event of default, Lender may, declare due all unpaid principal amounts outstanding and exercise other customary remedies, subject in each case to the Subordination Agreements.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreement and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreement and the Note included as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3, respectively, to this Schedule 13D, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety where such references appear.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

As described in Item 3 above, this Schedule 13D relates to the Tender and Support Agreement and the Top-Up Option, the purpose of which are to assist BGI and Purchaser in consummating the Merger of Issuer and Purchaser pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Upon completion of the Offer, Purchaser has the right to designate a number of directors on Issuer’s board of directors (and each committee of Issuer’s board of directors and the boards of directors and each board committee of its subsidiaries) that will give Purchaser representation on such boards of directors and committees proportional to the number of Shares purchased by Purchaser as compared to the number of Shares outstanding. The Issuer has agreed to take all actions reasonably necessary to seek and accept the resignations of incumbent directors to provide Purchaser with this level of representation, and to cause the designees of Purchaser to be elected, including but not limited to promptly filling vacancies or newly created directorships on Issuer’s board of directors, promptly increasing the size of Issuer’s board of directors (including by amending the bylaws of Issuer if necessary to increase the size of Issuer’s board of directors) or promptly securing the resignations of such number of its incumbent directors.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) the Surviving Corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of BGI and (ii) each outstanding share of Issuer’s common stock (other than Shares held in the treasury of Seller or owned by BGI or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BGI or Issuer or held by shareholders who properly demand and perfect dissenters’ rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price. The directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of Issuer immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. The officer and director of Purchaser were appointed by BGI and are identified in Item 2 above.

In addition, upon consummation of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation of Issuer will be amended to conform to the certificate of incorporation of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, until thereafter amended as provided by law and such certificate of incorporation, except that such certificate of incorporation shall contain such provisions as are necessary to give full effect to the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in the Merger Agreement and Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Complete Genomics, Inc.”

Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be traded on the NASDAQ Global Market, there will be no public market for the Shares and registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be terminated.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the Offer and the Merger described above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

operations, properties, policies, management and personnel as part of a comprehensive review with a view to optimizing development of Issuer’s potential in conjunction with BGI’s existing business. This planning process will continue throughout the pendency of the Offer and the Merger, but will not be implemented until the completion of the Merger.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) - (b) As a result of the Tender and Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to 6,094,109 Shares, subject to the conditions and limitations of the Tender and Support Agreement, and thus, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 6,094,109 Shares.
