Item 2.01.     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 17, 2017, Teleflex Incorporated (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Vascular Solutions, Inc. (“Vascular Solutions”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (a) each share of common stock in Vascular Solutions, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”) (other than certain Shares as set forth in the Merger Agreement), was converted into the right to receive $56.00 per Share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), subject to any applicable withholding tax, (b) each outstanding option or similar right to purchase Shares (other than pursuant to the employee stock purchase program of Vascular Solutions) issued pursuant to Vascular Solutions’ Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the “Company Options”) was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (subject to any applicable withholding taxes), without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price subject to such Company Option and (c) each Share awarded under, and then subject to forfeiture pursuant to, Vascular Solutions’ Stock Option and Stock Award Plan was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to any applicable withholding tax.

On February 17, 2017, the Company borrowed $750,000,000 under such delayed draw term loan facility and $285,000,000 under such revolving credit facility. The proceeds of such borrowings were used to pay the consideration owed in connection with the Merger along with related fees and expenses.
