SCHEDULE TO

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO first filed by Vicor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Vicor”), on March 21, 2013. The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Vicor to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 per share par value (the “Common Shares”), or such fewer number of Common Shares as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at a price not greater than $5.00 nor less than $4.00 per Common Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, as specified by stockholders tendering their Common Shares. Vicor’s offer is made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 21, 2013, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the offer. The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to reduce the number of Common Shares reported as accepted in Vicor’s prior tender offer that expired on March 1, 2013, and to increase the number of Common Shares reported as outstanding as of March 7, 2013, to properly reflect 100,482 Common Shares that were initially tendered by a notice of guaranteed delivery but for which share certificates were not timely delivered, and to revise information regarding the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by Vicor’s directors and executive officers.

All information in the offer, including all schedules and annexes thereto, which were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 1, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided for herein.

 

Item 2. Subject Company Information.

Section (b) of Item 2 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(b) The subject securities are common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company. As of March 7, 2013, there were 28,112,264 Common Shares issued and outstanding.
