Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On July 28, 2014, Starboard Value LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Starboard”) entered into a settlement agreement with the Issuer (the “Settlement Agreement”). The following description of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Issuer agreed, among other things: (i) to nominate and solicit proxies for the election of Jeffrey C. Smith, Louis DiNardo, Philip Black, and Dale L. Fuller (collectively, the “Starboard Nominees”) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2014 Annual Meeting”) (and, if the Standstill Period (as defined below) is extended pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2015 Annual Meeting)); (ii) to appoint Mr. Fuller as an observer to the Board until the 2014 Annual Meeting; (iii) not to increase the size of the Board to more than nine (9) directors during the Standstill Period, subject to certain restrictions; and (iv) to use its reasonable best efforts to hold the 2014 Annual Meeting no later than September 13, 2014. If any Starboard Nominee is unable to serve as a director, resigns or is removed as a director prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting (or, if the Standstill Period is extended, prior to the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2016 Annual Meeting”)) and at such time Starboard beneficially owns in the aggregate, excluding Shares underlying the Notes, at least the lesser of (i) three percent (3.0%) of the Issuer’s then outstanding Shares and (ii) 7,518,889 Shares, then Starboard can recommend substitute person(s) who meet certain independence and experience criteria for approval by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board and appointment by the Board within five (5) business days after such committee’s approval.
The Issuer further agreed that if it does not achieve certain objectives under its fiscal year 2015 business plan (the “Business Objectives”) previously agreed between the Issuer and Starboard, then Starboard will be entitled to nominate two additional directors to the Board as of the first business day following the date that the Issuer fails to achieve any of the Business Objectives. If Starboard exercises this right, the Issuer will increase the size of the Board by two directors, and Starboard will propose two candidates, each of whom shall be appointed to the Board within ten (10) business days of being proposed, so long as such candidates meet certain independence criteria. The initial two candidates must be proposed no later than the conclusion of the 2015 Annual Meeting. Starboard’s right to fill two additional Board seats will expire if prior to proposing such candidates, Starboard and/or any of its affiliates sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of Shares, excluding Shares underlying the Notes, representing more than 0.99% of the outstanding Shares. If the Issuer achieves all of the Business Objectives, then (x) the Standstill Period will be extended until the earlier of (i) the date that is fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2016 Annual Meeting and (ii) the date that is 100 days prior to the anniversary of the 2015 Annual Meeting, and (y) subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Issuer will be obligated, if requested by Starboard prior to the nomination deadline for such Annual Meeting, to re-nominate each of the Starboard Nominees (or any lesser number requested by Starboard) for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Starboard agreed, among other things: (i) not to nominate any person for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting; (ii) not to submit any proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, the 2014 Annual Meeting; (iii) not to initiate, encourage or participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the 2014 Annual Meeting; and (iv) to appear in person or by proxy at the 2014 Annual Meeting (and, if the Standstill Period is extended, at the 2015 Annual Meeting), and vote all Shares beneficially owned by it in favor of the election of each of the Issuer’s nominees to the Board and in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to each other proposal submitted to a stockholders vote at such Annual Meeting, unless Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. recommends otherwise with respect to such proposals (other than the election of directors); provided, however, that Starboard is only required to vote ratably with respect to all nominees at the 2015 Annual Meeting if the Issuer also votes ratably with respect to such nominees. Starboard also agreed to obtain an irrevocable resignation letter from Mr. Smith pursuant to which he will resign from the Board and all applicable committees thereof if at any time during the Standstill Period Starboard’s aggregate beneficial ownership of the Shares, excluding Shares underlying the Notes, decreases to less than the lesser of (x) three percent (3.0%) of the Issuer’s then outstanding Shares and (y) 7,518,889 Shares. At such time, (a) the right of Starboard to participate in the recommendation of a replacement director to fill the vacancy caused by any such resignation of Mr. Smith will be automatically terminated and (b) if such time occurs prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting, the Issuer will not be required to nominate or solicit proxies for the election of any Starboard Nominees for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting.
In addition, Starboard agreed to certain standstill provisions, effective as of the date of the Settlement Agreement through the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2015 Annual Meeting and (b) one-hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the 2014 Annual Meeting (which may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the “Standstill Period”). The standstill provisions generally restrict Starboard’s ability to engage in certain proxy solicitations, make certain stockholder proposals, call meetings of stockholders or solicit consents from stockholders, obtain additional representation on the Board and seek to remove any of the Issuer’s directors.
On July 29, 2014, the Issuer and Starboard jointly issued a mutually agreeable press release to announce they have reached a Settlement Agreement.
