Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 5”) is being filed by CBT Holdings LLC (“CBT Holdings”) and the Charles Bronfman Trust (“CBT,” together with CBT Holdings, the “Reporting Persons”), to amend the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on August 6, 2007, with respect to the common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Sport Supply Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed February 7, 2008, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed March 14, 2008, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed October 24, 2008 and Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed December 10, 2009 (the “Schedule 13D”).
Unless otherwise indicated herein, terms used and defined in the Schedule 13D shall have the same respective meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:
Annex I to this Amendment No. 5, incorporated herein by reference, contains the name, residence or business address, citizenship and present principal occupation of each executive officer of CBT Holdings, and amends and restates in its entirety the Annex I previously annexed to the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:
As of the date of this filing, except as set forth below, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
On March 15, 2010, Sage Parent Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Sage Merger Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Sub will merge with and into Issuer (the “Merger”) and each share of Issuer common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger (other than shares subject to a rollover agreement or dissenter’s rights) will be cancelled and converted into $13.55 cash, and Issuer will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Sub are affiliates of ONCAP Management Partners L.P. (“ONCAP”).
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on March 15, 2010, Parent and CBT Holdings entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) relating to all shares of Issuer common stock beneficially owned by CBT Holdings (the “Shares”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, CBT Holdings agreed, among other things, (i) to vote its Shares in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) to
4
CUSIP No.: 84916A104 | 13D | Page 5 of 7 Pages |
vote against any alternative transaction, merger or sale of assets involving the Issuer, or any amendment of the Issuer charter or bylaws or other proposal or transaction involving the Issuer, which amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.
CBT Holdings also granted to Parent an irrevocable proxy with respect to the voting of the Shares in relation to the matters set forth above. The proxy granted to Parent will be revoked automatically upon termination of the Voting Agreement.
The Voting Agreement provides that CBT Holdings will not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or facilitate or encourage the submission of, any alternative company takeover proposal or (ii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding an alternative company takeover proposal or (iii) furnish to any person, any non-public information relating to the Issuer which could reasonably be expected to encourage, facilitate or assist an alternative company takeover proposal.
Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, CBT Holdings further agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, assign or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares.
The Voting Agreement and the obligations of CBT Holdings thereunder terminate upon the earlier of the effective time of the Merger and the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Concurrently with the execution of the Voting Agreement, Parent and CBT Holdings entered into a Rollover Agreement, dated March 15, 2010 (the “Rollover Agreement”), whereby CBT Holdings agreed to contribute all of its Shares to Parent in exchange for newly issued shares of Parent based on the merger consideration to be paid under the Merger Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution of the Voting Agreement, ONCAP and CBT Holdings executed a letter agreement setting forth an allocation of expenses and certain termination fees between them in connection with the proposed transaction (the “Expense Letter”).
The description of the Voting Agreement, the Rollover Agreement and Expense Letter in this Schedule 13D does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, the Rollover Agreement and the Expense Letter, a copy of each of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

CUSIP No.: 84916A104 | 13D | Page 6 of 7 Pages |
If the Merger is consummated, the Issuer will be wholly-owned by Parent, which will be partially-owned by CBT Holdings. Following the consummation of the Merger (1) CBT Holdings will, among other things, have the right to designate up to two (2) of seven (7) persons to serve as directors on Parent’s Board of Directors, based on CBT Holdings, together with its members and affiliates, maintaining certain minimum levels of ownership of Parent’s common stock, (2) the Issuer’s charter and bylaws will be amended and restated as provided in the Merger Agreement, (3) the Issuer’s Common Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market, and (4) the Issuer’s Common Stock will be eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and the Voting Agreement and the Rollover Agreement, the Reporting Persons do not and, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the individuals or entities named in Schedule I hereto, have any plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in or relate to any of the actions specified in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:
(a) - (b) The percentages set forth in this response to Items 5(a) and 5(b) are based on 12,472,506 shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding as of February 3, 2010 (as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q (filed February 3, 2010)).
As of the date of this Amendment No. 5, CBT Holdings beneficially owns 2,044,072 shares of Issuer Common Stock, constituting approximately 16.4% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock. Because CBT is the sole member of CBT Holdings, CBT may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares. CBT and CBT Holdings may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over such Shares. CBT disclaims beneficial ownership of all Shares.
As a result of entering into the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share with Parent the power to vote the Shares subject to the Voting Agreement. The Reporting Persons do not affirm the existence of any group that may be deemed to be formed as a result of the Voting Agreement, the Rollover Agreement and Expense Letter and, except as otherwise expressly indicated in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons disclaim (1) membership in any such group and (2) beneficial ownership of any common stock that may be or are beneficially owned by the other signatories to the Voting Agreement.
(c) Other than as described above or otherwise in the Schedule 13D, there have been no transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock by the Reporting Persons, or to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons set forth on Schedule I to the Schedule 13D, which were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D, whichever is less.
