Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On March 30, 2014, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Apex Restaurant Management, Inc., a California corporation (“Parent”), and Apex Brands Foods, Inc., an Ohio corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, on March 30, 2014, Master Fund entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Parent and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, Master Fund agreed to vote all of the Shares it beneficially owns in favor of the Merger and against certain other corporate transactions. The Voting Agreement terminates if, among other things, the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or upon completion of the Merger.
