INTRODUCTION
 
This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement (the “Schedule”), is being filed by Cimetrix Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), under Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13e-3 promulgated thereunder, in connection with a proposed “going private” transaction (the “Transaction”) to be implemented by a consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  After careful consideration, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has concluded that the costs associated with being a public reporting company in the U.S. are not justified by the benefits to the Company and its shareholders.  The primary purpose of the Transaction is to reduce the number of record holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to fewer than 300, allowing the Company to terminate the registration of its Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, under 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act.  After the suspension of our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) we will cease to file reports and information with the SEC.
 
To accomplish the reduction in the number of record holders of the Common Stock, the Company will effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock, whereby each 10,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the effective date of the reverse stock split will be converted into one whole share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).  In lieu of issuing any fractional shares to stockholders as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will make a cash payment to shareholders holding a fractional share equal to $0.15 per pre-split share (the “Cash Payment”). Accordingly, stockholders owning fewer than 10,000 pre-split shares as of the effective date will no longer have an equity interest in the Company and will only be entitled to receive the Cash Payment multiplied by the number of pre-split shares owned by them.  The maximum amount payable to any shareholder is $1,499.85 (9,999 pre-split shares multiplied by $0.15 per share).  Stockholders owing 10,000 or more pre-split shares, will continue as stockholders of the Company.  Any continuing shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share for a portion of his or her shares, will receive a Cash Payment in lieu thereof, also based on $0.15 for each pre-split share.  The total amount of funds necessary to make Cash Payments to stockholders in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and for related expenses is estimated to be approximately $557,689.  The funds for the Transaction will come from the Company’s available funds.
 
Following the Transaction, the Company will have fewer than 300 stockholders of record.  As a result, the Company will be eligible to, and intends to, terminate the registration of its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Act, after which time the Company will no longer be subject to the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

Under Nevada law and pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors may amend our Articles of Incorporation by filing a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State to consummate the Reverse Stock Split which will be accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the number of authorized shares of our common stock. Nevada law does not require us to obtain any vote or consent of our stockholders to consummate the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, we are not seeking stockholder approval for the Reverse Stock Split, or the subsequent deregistration of our common stock or the suspension of our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC. Under Nevada law, stockholders are entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will be conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s disclosure statement, which is attached as Exhibit (a) to this Schedule 13E-3 (the “Disclosure Statement”). The information contained in the Disclosure Statement, including all exhibits thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by this reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Disclosure Statement.

As used herein, “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Cimetrix Incorporated, and the “Transaction” refers, to the Reverse Stock Split and related Cash Payment to the stockholders in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of our Common Stock.
