Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On January 3, 2011, the Issuer entered into a merger agreement with FCB I Holdings Inc. (“FCB I”) and FCB I Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCB I (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”). The Issuer has called a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of voting on a proposal to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement. The Issuer’s board of directors has fixed the close of business on February 1, 2011, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting (the “Special Meeting”). If stockholders representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger is completed, the Issu er would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCB I, and each outstanding share of common stock would be entitled to receive $27.25 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each share of the Issuer’s common stock held by it (the “Offer Price”).
On February 23, 2011, the Kingstown Reporting Persons acquired all of the Shares now owned by them (the “Kingstown Shares”) from George P. Bauer. In connection with that transaction, Mr. Bauer agreed to vote the Kingstown Shares as directed by Kingstown Management, as described in Item 6.
The Reporting Persons do not currently believe that the Merger is in the best interest of the Issuer’s stockholders or that that the Offer Price fully values the Kingstown Shares. Accordingly, the Kingstown Reporting Persons currently intend to direct George P. Bauer to vote the Kingstown Shares against the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Bauer Reporting Persons currently intend to vote the their Shares against the adoption of the Merger Agreement.
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
No Reporting Person and, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the persons listed on Schedule A, who are not also Reporting Persons, has any present plan or proposal which
14
would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, communications with management and the Board of the Issuer regarding, among other things, the strategic direction and capital allocation of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with thi rd parties, including other stockholders of the Issuer, about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including seeking board representation) or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 2,616,936 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of January 31, 2011, as reported in the Issuer’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2011.
As of the close of business on February 23, 2011, Master Fund owned directly 139,214 Shares, constituting approximately 5.3% of the Shares outstanding, Fund II owned directly 13,357 Shares, constituting approximately 0.5% of the Shares outstanding and Ktown owned directly 6,585 Shares, constituting approximately 0.3% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of their respective relationships with the Funds discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, General Partner and Messrs. Blitzer and Shanon may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by the Funds.
As of the close of business on February 23, 2011, Carol B. Bauer owned directly in her brokerage account 5,216 Shares, constituting approximately 0.2% of the Shares outstanding.
(b) Each of Master Fund, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon have shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Master Fund. Each of Fund II, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon have shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Fund II. Each of Ktown, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon have shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Ktown.
George P. Bauer has shared control over the brokerage accounts of Carol B. Bauer and Bradley P. Bauer, including shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares held therein. George P. Bauer disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
(c) Schedule B annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.
(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
(e) Not applicable.
