We request instructions as to whether you wish us to tender any or all of the Shares held by us or our nominees for your account, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the enclosed Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.
Please note carefully the following:
1. The offer price for the Offer is $1.48 per Share, net to you in cash, without interest but subject to any required withholding taxes.
2. The Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares.
3. The Offer is being made in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 28, 2018 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CafePress, Parent and Purchaser, pursuant to which, after the completion of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Purchaser will be merged with and into CafePress, without a vote of the CafePress stockholders, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and CafePress will be the
surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (such merger, the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding Shares (other than (a) Shares (if any) beneficially owned by CafePress, any of its subsidiaries, Parent or any of its subsidiaries (including Purchaser) and (b) Shares held by stockholders who have properly exercised their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL) will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest but subject to any required withholding of taxes.
4. The CafePress board of directors (the “CafePress Board”) has unanimously (a) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (b) adopted and declared advisable, pursuant to DGCL §251(b), the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger, (c) resolved that the Merger shall be effected as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Offer without a vote of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL and (d) subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, resolved and agreed to recommend that the holders of Shares accept the Offer and tender their shares pursuant to the Offer.
5. The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York Time, at the end of November 8, 2018, unless the Offer is extended by Purchaser or earlier terminated.
6. The Offer is subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among other things, there being validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer and not validly withdrawn, prior to the expiration of the Offer, a number of Shares (excluding any Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not been “received” (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL)) that, together with the Shares (if any) beneficially owned by Parent or Purchaser, represent at least a majority of the Shares then outstanding and (b) since the date of the Merger Agreement, there shall not have occurred any event, change, development, circumstance, fact or effect that has had or would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement). There is no financing condition to the Offer.
7. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no fractional Shares will be purchased. For Shares to be properly tendered pursuant to the Offer, (a) the share certificates or confirmation of receipt of such Shares under the procedure for book-entry transfer, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, either such Letter of Transmittal or an Agent’s Message (as defined in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase) in lieu of such Letter of Transmittal, and any other documents required in the Letter of Transmittal, must be timely received by the Depositary prior to the expiration of the Offer or (b) the tendering stockholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures, all in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal. Shares tendered by the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be excluded from the calculation of the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), unless such Shares and other required documents are received by the Depositary by the Expiration Time (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).
8. Purchaser will pay all stock transfer taxes applicable to its purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, subject to Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal. However, federal income tax backup withholding at a rate of 28% may be required, unless the required taxpayer identification information is provided and certain certification requirements are met, or unless an exemption is established. See Instruction 9 of the Letter of Transmittal.
If you wish to have us or our nominees tender any or all of your Shares, then please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us the Instruction Form on the detachable part hereof. An envelope to return your instructions to us is enclosed. If you authorize tender of your Shares, then all such Shares will be tendered unless otherwise specified on the Instruction Form.
Your prompt action is requested. Your Instruction Form should be forwarded to us in ample time to permit us to submit the tender on your behalf before the Expiration Time (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).
The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of Shares in any U.S. or foreign jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. However, Purchaser may, in its discretion, take such action as it may deem necessary to make the Offer in any such jurisdiction and to extend the Offer to holders of Shares in such jurisdiction.
