Attunity Shareholders Approve Proposed Acquisition by Qlik

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, April 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Attunity Ltd. ATTU ("Attunity"), a leading provider of data integration and big data management software solutions, today announced that at Attunity's extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on April 7, 2019, Attunity shareholders voted to approve (1) the previously announced acquisition of Attunity by QlikTech International AB ("Parent"), and all transactions and arrangements contemplated under the related merger agreement, including the merger of Joffiger Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent with and into Attunity (the so-called "merger proposal"), and (2) the accelerated vesting, as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, of the unvested portion of equity-based awards granted to Attunity's non-employee directors (the so-called "director proposal").

At the meeting, approximately 12.6 million ordinary shares, or 93% of the votes cast at the meeting (which are neither held by Parent nor its affiliates), voted in favor of the merger proposal.

Attunity has also reported that all of the antitrust approvals and clearances required for the merger have been obtained.

At the closing of the merger, Attunity shareholders will be entitled  to receive US$23.50 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each ordinary share of Attunity owned immediately prior to the effective time of the acquisition.
