NovaBy Dr Mike Cooke

Process control metrology system provider Nova Measuring Instruments has completed the purchase of substantially all the assets of HyperNex for 1.6 million shares and has assumed certain liabilities, including those accruing after the closing which relate to contracts assumed by Nova. Prior to the closing, Nova and HyperNex amended and restated the original asset purchase agreement to reduce the amount of shares to be issued by Nova from 1.8 million to 1.6 million to reflect the assumption of certain additional liabilities. Based on the closing price of Nova's stock on August 7, 2006 and the assumed liabilities, the transaction is valued at approximately $4.5 million. HyperNex is based in Pennsylvania, while Nova is an Israeli company.
