Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Applied Micro will receive 0.1089 shares of MACOM common stock and $3.25 in cash for each share of Applied Micro common stock. Based on MACOM’s closing stock price on November 18, 2016, Applied Micro shareholders would have received compensation valued at approximately $8.36 per share.
