Dialog Semiconductor has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in connection with its previously-announced proposal to acquire Atmel Corporation (Dialog to Buy Atmel).
The registration statement contains a draft prospectus and proxy statement, in connection with the proposed acquisition. The definitive versions will be filed publicly with the SEC and mailed to Atmel stockholders, before the Atmel shareholder meeting.
Dialog has also acknowledged Atmel’s recent announcement of its receipt of an unsolicited proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Atmel common stock. Atmel’s board will engage in discussions with the potential acquirer, which it is allowed to do under the terms of the merger.
