Introduction
The Company is offering to purchase for cash (the “Offer”) all shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.10 par value per share (the “Shares” or “Common Stock”), held by stockholders that owned 100 shares or fewer as of the close of business on May 7, 2008 (the “Record Date”) and that continue to own such Shares through the expiration date for the Offer, at a purchase price of $2.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2008, unless otherwise extended or terminated, all in accordance with applicable law. The Offer is being made pursuant an offer to purchase, dated June 27, 2008 (the “Offer to Purchase”), the Letter or Transmittal to the Depositary (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and the Cover Letter from the Company (the “Cover Letter”), copies of which are attached hereto as exhibits. The Offer to Purchase is an “odd-lot tender offer” pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, because the Offer has a reasonable likelihood of causing the Common Stock to be held of record by fewer than 300 persons, the Offer is a going private “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3(a)(3) under the Exchange Act. If the Company is successful the Company expects to file with the SEC to stop filing periodic reports.
The information in the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the Cover Letter is expressly incorporated by reference into this Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 in its entirety, and the responses to each item are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the Cover Letter.
