This Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) amends and supplements the Schedule TO relating to the tender offer by Industrial Components and Attachments II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Industries Corporation, a corporation formed under the laws of Japan (“Parent”), for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.50 per share (the “Shares”), of Cascade Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), at a price of $65.00 per Share net to the seller in cash without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated November 2, 2012 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer Documents.”
All information set forth in the Offer Documents is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and to Item 11 in this Schedule TO and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Amendment No. 4.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to amend and supplement Items 1, 4, 8, 11 and 12 as reflected below.
Item 11
(a)Agreements, Regulatory Requirements and Legal Proceedings. Item 11(a) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the second paragraph in the sub-section captioned “United States Antitrust Compliance” in Section 16 (Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals) of the Offer to Purchase with the following paragraph.
“Pursuant to the requirements of the HSR Act, Parent filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division in connection with the purchase of the Shares in the Offer and the Merger on October 31, 2012. The Company filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division on November 2, 2012. On November 15, 2012, Parent voluntarily withdrew its notification and re-filed the notification on November 19, 2012, in order to begin a new waiting period under the HSR Act and provide the Antitrust Division with additional time to review the proposed acquisition. On November 30, 2012, Parent again voluntarily withdrew its notification and intends to re-file the notification on December 5, 2012, in order to begin a new waiting period under the HSR Act and provide the Antitrust Division with additional time to review the proposed acquisition. The Company informed Parent that it intends to re-file its Premerger Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division on December 6, 2012. Under the HSR Act, the purchase of the Shares in the Offer may not be completed until 11:59 p.m., New York City Time on December 20, 2012, the expiration time of a 15-calendar day waiting period which commences when Parent re-files a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the FTC and the Antitrust Division, unless such waiting period is earlier terminated by the FTC and the Antitrust Division. The Offer, as extended, is now
2
scheduled to expire on the same date as the waiting period under the HSR Act. If within the 15-calendar day waiting period either the FTC or the Antitrust Division requests additional information or documentary material from Parent, the waiting period and the Offer would be extended for an additional period of 10 calendar days following the date of Parent’s substantial compliance with that request. The FTC and the Antitrust Division may terminate the additional 10-calendar day waiting period before its expiration. In practice, complying with a request for additional information and documentary material can take a significant period of time.”
Items 1, 4, 8 and 11
Items 1, 4, 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:
“On December 3, 2012, in conjunction with the Premerger Notification and Report Form that Parent again withdrew on November 30, 2012 and intends to re-file with the FTC (as defined below) and the Antitrust Division (as defined below) on December 5, 2012 and with the consent of the Company, Parent extended the expiration of the Offer. The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, December 3, 2012. The Expiration Date of the Offer is extended to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, December 20, 2012, unless further extended. The Depositary has advised us that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, December 3, 2012, 9,909,412 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn (including 457,588 Shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 88.48% of the outstanding Shares.
On December 3, 2012, Parent issued a press release announcing the extension of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(9) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
