Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The Shares purchased by Value and Opportunity Master Fund, Navigation Master Fund, ROIL and COIL were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase cost of the 3,815,000 Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by Value and Opportunity Master Fund, Navigation Master Fund and ROIL is approximately $9,716,196, excluding brokerage commissions.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The Reporting Persons originally 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.
On July 19, 2010, Value and Opportunity Master Fund and its affiliates (collectively, the “Ramius Group”) delivered a letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) outlining an offer to acquire all of the outstanding Shares that the Ramius Group does not already own for $4.00 per Share in cash (the “Acquisition Offer”). The Acquisition Offer described in the letter represents a 60% premium over the July 16, 2010 closing price and a 74% premium over the average closing price since the acquisition of BioLineRx’s BL-1020 drug. In addition to the all-cash Acquisition Offer, the Ramius Group also stated in the letter that it would be willing to consider an acquisition structure that would allow management to continue the development of the recently acquired BL-1020 if th ey are able to fund the required financing for the Phase IIb trial themselves or from a third party financing source. The letter stated that under this proposed structure management and third party financing could retain a 50% interest in BL-1020, with the other 50% interest retained on a pro-rata basis by the Issuer’s existing shareholders. The Ramius Group stated in the letter that it believes that this structure would provide shareholders with immediate liquidity through an all-cash acquisition at a significant premium to the current stock price and provide shareholders with an opportunity to retain future upside potential from the development of BL-1020 without shareholders funding the risk.
In the letter the Ramius Group also called on the Board to stop blindly following a management team that continues to destroy shareholder value by making increasingly risky investments with shareholder money and to immediately hire a reputable investment bank to evaluate the Ramius Group’s Acquisition Offer and to formally explore a sale of the Issuer to maximize the value for all shareholders. The Ramius Group implored the Board to cease and desist from approving any further acquisitions and not enter into, or seek or propose to enter into, any further material transactions, licensing agreements or business combinations that could jeopardize the ability for shareholders to realize full and fair value for their investment. The Ramius Group also questioned whether the members of the Board have breached their resp ective fiduciary duties to shareholders by continuing to approve highly speculative, overpriced, and value-destroying acquisitions that serve only to further entrench the existing management team and the current Board.
Additionally, the Ramius Group noted in the letter that it is currently evaluating all legal options and reserves its right to take any action necessary to ensure that the Issuer is run in a manner that is consistent with the best interests of all shareholders. The Ramius Group further stated that, while it looks forward to having productive discussions with the Issuer to consummate a transaction, in the event the Board is unwilling to negotiate a transaction that maximizes value for all shareholders, the Ramius Group reserves all rights to take any action it deems necessary to ensure the best interests of all shareholders are represented. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
No Reporting Person and, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the persons listed on Schedule B, Schedule C, Schedule D or Schedule E, who are not also Reporting Persons, has any present plan or proposal which 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 Issuer’s response to the Acquisition Offer, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industr y conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including their Acquisition Offer, as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, communications with management and the Board of the Issuer, submitting books and records requests and/or a demand for a shareholder list of the Issuer under Delaware law, engaging in discussions with third parties about the Issuer, the Reporting Persons’ investment and the Acquisition Offer, making additional or supplementary proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure 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.
