Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following paragraphs at the end thereof:
On November 10, 2014, the Issuer entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Reporting Persons, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to increase the size of the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) from eight to nine members and to appoint Mr. McGuire as director to the newly-created vacancy with a term commencing immediately upon the execution and delivery of the Agreement and expiring upon the Issuer’s 2015 annual stockholders’ meeting.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Board has agreed to nominate Mr. McGuire for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2015 annual stockholders’ meeting for a term expiring at the Company’s 2017 annual stockholders’ meeting and to support such nomination by, among other things, recommending that the Issuer’s stockholders vote in favor of Mr. McGuire. If Mr. McGuire is re-elected at the Issuer’s 2015 annual stockholders’ meeting, Mr. McGuire has agreed to resign from the Board seven business days prior to the end of the last day that the Company’s stockholders may timely notify the Company of a nomination or proposal to be properly brought before the Company’s 2016 annual stockholders’ meeting pursuant to the Issuer’s Bylaws (which is expected to be in late October or early November 2015), however, the Issuer and Marcato may mutually agree to extend Mr. McGuire’s term on the Board for an additional year. Mr. McGuire has also agreed to resign from the Board in certain other situations specified in the Agreement.
The Company has agreed to appoint Mr. McGuire to the Executive Committee and the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the Board.
Further, the Reporting Persons agreed, for as long as Mr. McGuire is a member of the Board, to customary standstill restrictions, including agreeing not to conduct a proxy contest regarding the election of directors. In addition, for as long as Mr. McGuire is a member of the Board, the Reporting Persons have also agreed to vote all of their respective shares of the Issuer’s voting securities in favor of the election of each director nominated and recommended by the Board and in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to certain other matters.
The Issuer and the Reporting Persons issued a joint press release on November 10, 2014 (the “Press Release”) announcing the Board’s appointment of Mr. McGuire.
The Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the date that is seven business days prior to the last day that stockholders of the Issuer may timely notify the Issuer of a nomination or proposal to be properly brought before the 2016 annual meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders (unless extended pursuant to the terms of the Agreement), and (ii) the date that Mr. McGuire ceases to serve as a director of the Company.
A copy of the Agreement and the Press Release are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and the Press Release are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and the Press Release, respectively.
