Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, as it has been amended from time to time, is hereby further amended as follows: HCC Debt As of December 31, 2009, Issuer’s outstanding indebtedness and accounts payable (the “HCC Debt”) to H C Crown Corp. (“HCC”) and its affiliates was in excess of $1.1 billion. HCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hallmark. The HCC Debt (excluding accounts payable) is subject to that certain Waiver and Standby Purchase Agreement (as amended) that provides, among other things, that during the Waiver Period (which, unless earlier terminated as provided in the Waiver and Standby Purchase Agreement, is scheduled to expire on May 1, 2010), HCC will not accelerate the maturity of the HCC Debt, initiate proceedings for the collection of the HCC Debt, foreclose on the collateral security for the HCC Debt, or commence or participate in certain bankruptcy proceedings with respect to Issuer. Original Proposal Regarding Recapitalization Pursuant to a proposal letter to the Issuer, dated May 28, 2009 (the “May 28 Proposal”), which letter was filed as an exhibit to Hallmark’s Schedule 13D/A Amendment No. 9 filed on May 28, 2009, in lieu of exercising other rights available to Hallmark upon the expiration of the Waiver Period, including foreclosing on the collateral security or commencing certain bankruptcy proceedings, HCC proposed a recapitalization of the HCC Debt (a “Recapitalization”). Under the May 28 Proposal, $500 million of the HCC Debt would have been converted into new debt and the balance of the HCC Debt would have been converted into convertible preferred stock. Special Committee On June 8, 2009, the Issuer’s Board of Directors empowered a special committee of its Board of Directors, consisting of Herbert Granath, Drue Jennings (Chairman) and Peter Lund (all of whom are independent of Hallmark) (the “Special Committee”) to, among other things, (i) consider the terms of the May 28 Proposal, (ii) negotiate with HCC with respect to the terms and conditions of the HCC proposed Recapitalization, and, if the Special Committee deemed it appropriate in its sole discretion, to recommend or not recommend the HCC proposed Recapitalization, (iii) direct management in regard to its participation in the Special Committee’s review of the HCC proposed Recapitalization, (iv) review, comment on, and participate in the drafting of any definitive agreement and any other documents with respect to the HCC proposed Recapitalization, (v) consider such matters as it deemed advisable with respect to the HCC proposed Recapitalization, and (vi) report to the Issuer’s Board of Directors the recommendations and conclusions of the Special Committee with respect to what action, if any, should be taken by the Issuer’s Board of Directors and the Issuer with respect to the HCC proposed Recapitalization as a whole or any aspect of the HCC proposed Recapitalization. Further, the Special Committee was authorized to retain and compensate, at the Issuer’s expense, such advisors, including financial and legal advisors and other experts, as the Special Committee deemed appropriate to assist it. The Term Sheet After lengthy negotiations between HCC and the Special Committee and each of their respective advisors, HCC and the Special Committee have negotiated and on February 9, 2010 signed a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) setting forth the terms of a proposed Recapitalization. In the Recapitalization as set forth in the Term Sheet, $315 million of the HCC Debt would be converted into new debt, $185 million of HCC Debt would be converted into convertible preferred stock, and the balance of the HCC Debt would be converted into common stock. A copy of the Term Sheet, executed by HCC and a representative of the Special Committee, has been filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D/A Amendment No. 11 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Special Committee has negotiated aggressively on behalf of the minority stockholders and obtained many concessions from HCC regarding the Recapitalization. Upon consummation of the Recapitalization, the Hallmark priority claims would be reduced by over $600 million, and minority stockholders would hold approximately 10% of the common stock of the Issuer with the potential opportunity to share in the value of the Issuer over the $500 million of debt and preferred stock to be held by HCC. In addition, as set forth in the Term Sheet, the Special Committee negotiated for, and obtained, a requirement that minority stockholders receive a premium for their common stock over the value to be received by HCC in the event of a sale of the Issuer on or prior to December 31, 2013. Hallmark believes that the Recapitalization would also provide the Issuer with an improved capital structure that reduces its indebtedness by approximately $790 million and provides the Issuer with better overall terms for its new indebtedness than would be available in the credit markets. The Term Sheet is not a legally binding agreement, and there can be no assurance as to when, if ever, a Recapitalization will be consummated and, if consummated, whether the terms will be the same or different than those set forth in the Term Sheet. Although the Reporting Persons have disclosed the intention to enter into a Recapitalization, the Reporting Persons do not intend to amend this Schedule 13D to reflect any changes in the terms of a Recapitalization as set forth in the Term Sheet, including the terms of the New Debt or the Convertible Preferred Stock, prior to such time, if ever, as definitive documents with respect to a Recapitalization are executed. |
