Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 18, 2007, InfraSource Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (InfraSource), entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Quanta Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (Quanta), and Quanta MS Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quanta
(Merger Sub), formed specifically for the purpose of the proposed merger. The Merger Agreement
provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, for a
strategic merger of InfraSource with Merger Sub, with InfraSource continuing as the surviving
corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Quanta (the Merger). At the effective time of
the Merger (the Effective Time), the stockholders of InfraSource will receive shares of common
stock of Quanta, par value $0.00001 per share, at a negotiated exchange rate (the Exchange Ratio)
of 1.223 shares of Quanta common stock for each share of InfraSource common stock (the Merger
Consideration), and all outstanding stock options will be converted, based on the Exchange Ratio,
into stock options to receive shares of Quanta common stock. As of the Effective Time, three
members of the Board of Directors of InfraSource will become members of the Board of Directors of
Quanta.
InfraSource and Quanta have made certain representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement.
Such representations and warranties have been negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing
the circumstances in which a party may have the right not to close the Merger if the
representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in
circumstance or otherwise, and allocate risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters
as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of
materiality different from those generally applicable under the securities laws.
InfraSource and Quanta have also made customary covenants to each other in the Merger Agreement,
including, among others, covenants (i) to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary and
usual course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the
Effective Time, (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during the period between
execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, (iii) that InfraSource will convene and
hold a meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the approval of the Merger, (iv) that
Quanta will convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the approval
of the issuance of the Merger Consideration, and (v) that, subject to certain exceptions, each of
the Board of Directors of InfraSource and Quanta will recommend approval of the Merger and the
issuance of the Merger Consideration to their respective stockholders. Additionally, InfraSource
has made certain customary covenants, including, among others, covenants not to (i) solicit or
knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals relating to alternative business combination
transactions or (ii) subject to certain exceptions, engage in discussions or negotiations
regarding, or provide any non-public information or data to any other person in connection with
alternative business combination transactions.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (i) approval and adoption
of the Merger Agreement by the InfraSource stockholders, (ii) authorization to issue the Merger
Consideration by the Quanta stockholders, (iii) approvals by certain federal and state regulatory
commissions, including, but not limited to, the expiration or termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino
waiting period, as well as the effectiveness of a registration statement of Form S-4 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the issuance of the Merger Consideration, (iv) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of each party, (v) performance in all material respects of the
obligations of each party under the Merger Agreement, and (vi) the delivery of an opinion from
counsel to InfraSource that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income
tax purposes.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Quanta and InfraSource, including
the right of InfraSource to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement for
an alternative business combination transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined
in the Merger Agreement), and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under
specified circumstances, InfraSource may be required to pay to Quanta, or Quanta may be required to
pay to InfraSource, a termination fee of $43 million. In the event a party terminates the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances related to a breach
by the other party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, the terminating party will be entitled to
reimbursement for its expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit
2.1 hereto, and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
Important Information for Investors and Stockholders
In connection with the proposed merger, InfraSource and Quanta will file a joint proxy
statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). INVESTORS AND
SECURITY HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL
CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE PARTIES TO THE MERGER. Investors and
security holders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement (when available) and other documents
filed by InfraSource at the SEC website, http://www.sec.gov.
InfraSource and certain executive officers and other members of its management may be deemed
participants in the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders in connection with the proposed
Merger. Information concerning the interests of InfraSources participants in the solicitation,
which may be different than those of InfraSource stockholders generally, will be set forth in the
proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Merger when it becomes available.
