related to the Merger Agreement; the inability to complete the transaction due to the failure to obtain the required stockholder approvals or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the transaction, including the receipt of all
regulatory approvals related to the transaction; the disruption of management&#146;s attention from the Company&#146;s ongoing business operations due to the transaction; and the effect of the announcement of the transaction on the Company&#146;s

Item  8.01 — Other Events
On September 9, 2013, Molex Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "
Company
," "
we
" or
"
our
"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "
Merger Agreement
") with Koch Industries, Inc., a Kansas corporation ("
Parent
"), and Koch Connectors, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("
Merger Sub
"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "
Merger
"), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent. The Company's Board of Directors (the "
Board
") has approved, and declared to be advisable, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.
The material terms of the Merger Agreement, including the terms to the proposed Merger, have been described in a Form 8-K previously filed by
the Company on September 9, 2013.
On September 9, 2013, the Company engaged in various communications with employees, customers,
suppliers and other persons concerning the proposed Merger. Copies of these communications are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
Forward-Looking Statements
This
current report on Form 8-K and other documents we file with the SEC contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our future performance, business, beliefs, and
management's assumptions. In addition, we, or others on our behalf, may make forward-looking statements in press releases or written statements, or in our communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of
business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls. Words such as "expect," "anticipate," "outlook," "forecast," "could," "project," "intend," "plan,"
"continue," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "should," "may," "assume," "potential," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. We describe our respective risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could
affect the outcome or results of operations in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, which are incorporated by reference and in other reports that we file with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties also
include, without limitation: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or Parent
related to the Merger Agreement; the inability to complete the transaction due to the failure to obtain the required stockholder approvals or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the transaction, including the receipt of all
regulatory approvals related to the transaction; the disruption of management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations due to the transaction; and the effect of the announcement of the transaction on the Company's
relationships with its customers, operating results and business generally.
- 2 -
We have based our forward-looking statements, including statements made regarding the proposed
transaction, the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction and other statements, on our management's beliefs and assumptions based on information available to management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that
actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied, or forecast by our forward-looking statements. Reference is made in particular to forward-looking statements regarding growth strategies, industry trends, global
economic conditions, success of customers, cost of raw materials, value of inventory, currency exchange rates, labor costs, protection of intellectual property, cost reduction initiatives, acquisition synergies, manufacturing strategies, product
development introduction and sales, regulatory changes, competitive strengths, natural disasters, unauthorized access to data, government investigations and outcomes of legal proceedings. Except as required under the federal securities laws, we do
not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.
Important Additional Information Will be Filed with the SEC
In connection with the proposed merger transaction, the Company intends to file with the SEC and to furnish to the Company's stockholders
a proxy statement and other relevant materials regarding the proposed transaction. The communications filed as Exhibits 99.1 to 99.7 hereto do not constitute a solicitation of any proxy or vote. THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS AND INVESTORS ARE
URGED TO CAREFULLY READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED MERGER BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTION, THE PARTIES TO THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTION AND RELATED MATTERS. In addition to receiving the proxy statement and related materials by mail, the Company's stockholders and investors will
also be able to obtain, without charge, copies of the proxy statement (once filed) and other Company filings with the SEC from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In addition, stockholders may obtain, without charge, copies of the proxy statement
(once filed) and other Company filings with the SEC from the Company's website at www.molex.com or by contacting Steve Martens, our VP Investor Relations, at (630) 527-4344 or Steve.Martens@molex.com.
Participants in the Solicitation of Proxies
The Company's executive officers and directors and certain other members of the Company management and its employees may be deemed
"participants" in the solicitation of proxies from the Company's stockholders with respect to the matters relating to the proposed merger. Information concerning the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be considered
participants in the solicitation of the Company stockholders, whose interests may, in some cases, be different than those of the Company's stockholders generally, will be set forth in the proxy statement and other relevant documents to be filed
with the SEC. Information about the Company's executive officers and directors can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with
the SEC on September 7, 2012.
