ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
AND OFFER AMENDMENT
This document is an ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND OFFER AMENDMENT (this
"Purchase Agreement"), is dated as of July 26, 2000, and is among
INVENSYS HOLDINGS LIMITED ("Invensys Holdings"), a private
limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, and
INVENSYS PLC ("Invensys"), a public limited company organized under
the laws of England and Wales, on the one hand,
- and -
BAAN COMPANY N.V. ("Baan"), a public limited company (naamloze
vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands, and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, BAAN SOFTWARE B.V. ("Baan Software"), a
private limited company (besloten vennootschap) organized under the
laws of The Netherlands, on the other hand. (Baan and Baan Software
are hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Baan Sellers".)
RECITALS
A. On May 31, 2000, Invensys, Invensys Holdings B.V., i.o. ("Original
Purchaser"), a Dutch private limited company (besloten vennootschap)
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invensys in formation, Invensys B.V.,
i.o. ("Original Offer Sub"), a Dutch private limited company (besloten
vennootschap) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Original Purchaser in
formation, on the one hand, and Baan, on the other hand, entered into
an Offer Agreement (the "Offer Agreement") pursuant to which Original
Offer Sub agreed to make an offer (the "Offer") to purchase all of
Baan's outstanding common shares, par value NLG 0.06 per share (the
"Shares), at a price of Euro 2.85 per Common Share, subject to certain
conditions set forth in the Offer Agreement.
B. Between May 31, 2000, and June 14, 2000, with the consent of Baan,
Original Purchaser and Original Offer Sub, assigned all of their
rights and delegated all of their duties under the Offer Agreement to
Invensys Holdings.
C. On June 14, 2000, Invensys Holdings made the Offer as provided in the
Offer Agreement.
D. On July 13, 2000, the Offer was scheduled to expire, but the condition
precedent that at least 95% of the outstanding shares be tendered or
held (directly or indirectly) by Invensys (the "Minimum Condition") to
Invensys Holdings' obligation to accept for payment and pay for Shares
tendered had not then been satisfied.
E. On July 14, 2000, pursuant to the second sentence of Section 1.1(b) of
the Offer Agreement, Invensys, on behalf of Invensys Holdings,
extended the Offer until 3:00 p.m. (Amsterdam time) on July 25, 2000.
F. The Minimum Condition was not duly satisfied at the expiration of the
Offer on July 25, 2000.
G. The Baan Management Board and Supervisory Board continue to have
serious reason to doubt the continued viability of the Baan Sellers if
Invensys Holdings elects not to waive the Minimum Condition.
H. In order to assure the continued viability of the Baan Sellers'
business (the "Business") of designing, developing, selling,
installing, and servicing enterprise business software, in order to
protect as best as possible the interests of the Baan Sellers'
employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders and other stakeholders,
and in order to induce Invensys Holdings to waive partially and amend
the conditions precedent to the Offer, the Baan Sellers' Management
Board and Supervisory Board desire, in order to facilitate the
completion of the Offer, subject to the approval of Baan's
shareholders and the positive advice of Baan's Works Council, to sell
the Business to Invensys Holdings (or its nominee) on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Purchase Agreement.
I. Invensys Holdings is willing to waive partially and amend the
conditions precedent to the Offer only if Baan enters into this
Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Invensys Holdings (and/or its
assignee(s)) will purchase the Business from the Baan Sellers on and
subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase
Agreement.
