Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On July 23, 2014, Starboard Value LP (“Starboard”) filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court for the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida against the Issuer seeking an order to compel the Issuer to provide Starboard with certain books and records for purposes of inspection and copying pursuant to Section 607.1604 of the Florida Business Corporations Act. Within its rights as a shareholder under Florida law, Starboard delivered a letter to the Issuer on June 5, 2014 demanding production of certain of the Issuer’s books and records (the “June 5 Demand”) in order to gain additional insight and learn more as to the analyses, processes and rationale that ultimately led to the Issuer’s agreement on May 16, 2014 to sell Red Lobster at what Starboard believes to be a fire sale price to Golden Gate Capital (the “Red Lobster Sale”). In agreeing to the Red Lobster Sale, the Issuer disregarded the strong mandate from its shareholders representing 57% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares, or 80% of the shares realistically able to vote, to either pause the Red Lobster Sale or to subject any transaction involving Red Lobster to a shareholder vote.
Since the Issuer’s announcement of the Red Lobster Sale, the Issuer’s stock price has declined by 11% and has underperformed its peers by 16%, representing the destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars in total shareholder value. In addition to better understanding the process and rationale behind the Red Lobster Sale, Starboard served the June 5 Demand specifically to (i) investigate potential mismanagement, wrongdoing and/or corporate waste in connection with the proposed sale in the course of evaluating whether to bring an action to enjoin the sale or for breach of fiduciary duty against Issuer’s current Board of Directors and management, and (ii) assist Starboard in evaluating its proxy contest. These are appropriate purposes for making a books and records demand under Florida law.
30
CUSIP NO. 237194105
Since serving the June 5 Demand, Starboard has attempted to negotiate in good faith the conditions for the Issuer to turn over the requested records, even going so far as to narrow its request voluntarily in an effort to get to resolution. Unfortunately, the Issuer was not willing to accept reasonable terms regarding confidentiality restrictions. Specifically, the Issuer demanded that Starboard not only keep the books and records themselves confidential, but also insisted that Starboard could not express any “opinions, conclusions, views, or perspectives,” derived from the produced books and records. The Issuer therefore sought to condition production of the books and records on a gag order that would extend not only to the documents themselves, but also to any Starboard view or opinion informed by, or derived in any way from, the produced documents. Despite Starboard’s efforts to negotiate the confidentiality terms in good faith, the Issuer has refused to provide any of the requested books and records, and Starboard has filed the Complaint seeking to enforce its inspection rights under Florida law.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Complaint, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
