borrowers referred to therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as

outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest and
fees under the Credit Facility. No early termination penalties
were incurred by the Company in connection with the termination
of the Credit Facility. Some of the lenders party to the Credit
Facility and/or their affiliates have in the past performed, and

they have received, and may in the future receive, customary
compensation.

On March10, 2017, in connection with the consummation of the
Merger, the Company notified The New York Stock Exchange (the
NYSE) that each outstanding share of
Company Common Stock was cancelled and converted into the right
to receive the Merger Consideration, and requested that the
trading of Company Common Stock on the NYSE be suspended prior to
market open on March13, 2017. In addition, the Company requested
that the NYSE file with the SEC a notification of removal from
listing on Form25 to delist Company Common Stock from the NYSE
and to deregister Company Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act).

In addition, on March10, 2017, the Company notified the NYSE of
its intention to voluntary delist the 2.000% Senior Notes (the
Notes) issued by Harman Finance
International, S.C.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
from the NYSE. Taking into account, among other things, the
significant legal, accounting, administrative and other direct
and indirect costs associated with maintaining a listing on the
NYSE, the Board of Directors of the Company following the closing
of the Merger (the Board) determined
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its sole
stockholder to delist the Notes from the NYSE and to deregister
the Notes from Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The delisting
and deregistration will be effective on the 10th day following
the filing of a Form 25 with the SEC.

After the delisting and deregistration, holders of the Notes will
continue to receive interest payments through the trustee, U.S.
Bank National Association, and the Notes will continue to be
traded over-the-counter. The Company has not made arrangements
for the listing and/or registration of the Notes on another
national securities exchange or quotation medium.

The Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 notification
of suspension of the reporting obligations of the Company under
Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Item 3.01
of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference
in this Item 3.03.

In connection with the Merger and at the Effective Time, holders
of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time ceased to
have any rights as stockholders in the Company (other than their
right to receive the Merger Consideration to the Merger
Agreement).

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this
Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this
Item 5.01.

In connection with the Merger and at the Effective Time, a change
of control of the Company occurred and the Company became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung.

Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
