Item 8.01.   Other Events.
This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) is being filed substantially concurrently with the filing by Teleflex Incorporated (the “Company”) and certain of its domestic subsidiaries of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 in order to register the full and unconditional guarantees, on a joint and several basis, of certain of the Company’s 100% wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of certain debt securities of the Company. This Form 8-K provides financial information of the Company’s subsidiary guarantors required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 3-10”) under Note 17, “Guarantor financial statements”; such financial statements are set forth at Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
This Form 8-K further updates and supersedes Items 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Form 10-K”) to report the Company’s former marine business, which the Company sold on March 22, 2011, and the Company’s cargo container business, for which the Company approved a plan of sale, as discontinued operations pursuant to the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements” (“ASC topic 205”) for the three years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. This presentation has no effect on the Company’s previously reported net earnings (see exhibit 99.1). Retroactive reclassification of assets as held for sale at the balance sheet date is not required under accounting guidance. Accordingly no adjustments for assets of the Company’s cargo container business held for sale have been made to the balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 as originally reported in the Form 10-K.
In addition, this Form 8-K updates and supersedes the Company’s interim financial statements for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 and as of March 27, 2011 appearing in Part 1 Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 27, 2011 (the “Form 10-Q”) to provide the information required by Rule 3-10 appearing in Note 16, “Guarantor financial statements;” such financial statement are set forth at Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
