INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 7 (the “Final Amendment”) amends the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 originally filed on June 1, 2006 and amended on July 28, 2006, March 27, 2007, May 2, 2007, May 22, 2007, June 1, 2007 and July 13, 2007. This Final Amendment is being jointly filed by: Milastar Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Milastar”); Dennis J. Stevermer (“Mr. Stevermer”), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Milastar and the beneficial owner of approximately 59% of Milastar’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”); Easton Southpaw Incorporated, a Delaware corporation wholly owned by Mr. Stevermer (“ESI”); and Milastar Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ESI (“Acquisition Corp.”).
This Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of this Schedule 13E-3.
Item 15. Additional Information.
Regulation M-A Item 1011
Item 15(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On July 30, 2007, Milastar filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of ESI, was merged with and into Milastar, with Milastar continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Milastar became a privately held, wholly owned subsidiary of ESI. The Merger became effective as of 12:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Monday, July 30, 2007, at which time (a) each outstanding share of Milastar’s Common Stock held by Milastar’s Unaffiliated Stockholders (other than shares held by such holders who perfected their appraisal rights) was automatically converted into the right to receive $3.70 in cash, without interest, and (b) the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Corp. ceased. The term “Unaffiliated Stockholders” refers to the holders of Milastar’s Common Stock that are not affiliated with Milastar and, therefore, excludes Mr. Stevermer, ESI and Milastar’s directors (other than Mr. McGurk) and executive officers.
As briefly discussed above, the aggregate per share merger consideration paid by ESI at the closing of the merger was $3.70 per share. Of that amount, $0.20 per share was placed in a Settlement Fund. Under the terms and conditions of the settlement of the case ofWheeler v. Milastar Corporation, et al.on June 28, 2007, counsel for the plaintiff will apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for fees and costs to be satisfied from the Settlement Fund. Although it is not anticipated that there will be any funds remaining in the Settlement Fund after payment of the fees and costs of plaintiff’s counsel, if there are funds remaining in the Settlement Fund after such payment, the remainder will be distributed to the Unaffiliated Stockholders of Milastar on a pro rata basis.
As a result of the Merger, Mr. Stevermer owns 100% of Milastar and the registration of Milastar’s Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated upon application to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Milastar’s Common Stock is no longer quoted on any quotation system, including the OTC Bulletin Board, and is not listed on any exchange.
