Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 22, 2010, Verisk Analytics, Inc. (the “Registrant”) announced that in connection with the previously announced proposed public offering of Class A common stock, the selling stockholders are offering 19,030,515 shares of Class A common stock, including shares of Class B common stock totaling 16,767,721 that will be converted into Class A common stock as part of the offering. The board of directors and management will sell the remaining 2,262,794 shares. In addition, the underwriters have been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to 2,854,577 additional shares of common stock from selling stockholders to cover over-allotments, if any.
Concurrent with the closing of the offering, the Registrant will repurchase 7,300,000 shares of common stock directly from Class B stockholders at a price per share equal to the net proceeds per share that the selling stockholders receive in the offering. Approximately $175 million in borrowings and approximately $25 million of cash on hand will fund the repurchase by the Registrant.
The Registrant is not selling any Class A shares as a part of the offering. The shares of Class B common stock not converted into Class A and sold into this offering will remain subject to the original conversion dates to Class A of April 6, 2011, for Class B-1 (approximately 12.7 million shares) and October 6, 2011, for Class B-2 (approximately 17.5 million). The management and board of directors Class A shares subject to lock-up agreements with the same restrictive periods will also remain subject to those dates.
The offering is subject to market and other conditions.
