This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO/ 13E-3 (the “Statement”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2007, by NV Holdings, Inc., Cambridge Information Group II LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, Externalis S.A., a company formed under the laws of Belgium, ABRY Investment Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, ABRY Mezzanine Partners L.P., Andrew M. Snyder, John Hunt, Françoise Macq and Michael Jakobowski relating to a tender offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Navtech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Navtech” or the “Company”), at a purchase price of $2.50 per share (the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated October 9, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Statement, respectively. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Statement.
A. | Amendments to the Statement |
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended as follows:
(1) The first sentence of Item 3 is replaced with the following sentence: “The filing persons are NV Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Cambridge Information Group II LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, Externalis S.A., a company formed under the laws of Belgium, ABRY Investment Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, ABRY Mezzanine Partners L.P., Andrew M. Snyder, John Hunt, Françoise Macq and Michael Jakobowski.”
Item 10 of the Statement is hereby amended as follows:
(2) The following is added at the end of Item 10: “For more information, please see Section 7 – “The Offer - Certain Information Concerning the Company”.”
Items 1 through 11 of the Statement, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Summary Term Sheet is hereby amended as follows:
(1) The following is added after the first point beneath the heading “Who is offering to purchase my Shares?”:
| | · | Mr. Michael Jakobowski served as Chief Financial Officer of Cambridge Information Group, Inc. (“Cambridge”) from September 1999 to February 9, 2007. Since February 9, 2007, Mr. Jakobowski has served as Chief Financial Officer of ProQuest LLC, a subsidiary of Cambridge. Mr. Jakobowski has served as director of the Company since November 2001. Mr. Jakobowski owns 38,500 Shares of the Company and options over 50,000 Shares. |
The Offer to Purchase is hereby amended as follows:
| (1) | The following sentence is added at the end of the first paragraph of Section 1 – “Special Factors - Purpose of the Offer; Plans for the Company”: “We believe that the savings to Navtech from being relieved of such burdens would be in the vicinity of $259,000.00 each financial year, taking into account audit fees, legal fees, director and officer insurance, transfer agent fees, press release distribution costs, AGM costs and director and officer compensation. In addition, we believe the Company would save between $100,000 and $200,000 in audit fees associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.” |
| | |
| (2) | The following text replaces the final 3 sentences of paragraph 12 under Section 2 – “Special Factors – Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences as a result of the Offer”: “The Offer is not expected to have any material federal income tax consequences to the Company, each filing person or the company’s affiliates who are not filing persons. The Company will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Offer, and the tax basis of its assets will not change. The Company has a net operating loss carry forward in certain jurisdictions, which is not expected to be materially affected by the Offer. The Offerors and their affiliates will not be able to use the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards. The structure of the transaction was not impacted by the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards.” |
| | |
| (3) | The following text is inserted as (xiii) under the heading “Position of the Purchaser” in Section 3 – “Special Factors – Fairness”: “(xiii) The average high price for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, were $3.65 per Share and $3.60 per Share and the average high price for the first three quarters of 2007 was $3.40. The market price of the Shares has declined since the Company released its financial results for the second quarter of its 2007 financial year. However, the Filing Persons did not consider the historical market price of the Shares because the Shares are so thinly traded that the Filing Persons believe that historical market price is not a good indicator of the actual value of the Shares.” |
| | |
| (4) | The following text is added at the end of (iii) under the heading “Position of the Purchaser” in Section 3 – “Special Factors – Fairness”: “However, the Filing Persons are of the view that JEGI’s discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation of the Shares at $1.76 per Share (which is 42% less than the Offer Price) represents a good proxy for determining the liquidation value of the Shares.” |
| | |
| (5) | The following text replaces (iv) under the heading “Position of the Purchaser” in Section 3 – “Special Factors – Fairness”: “(iv) Based on the Form 10-QSB filed by Navtech for the quarter ended July 31, 2007, the net book value of the Company is $0.96 (including Shares and Class A Preferred Shares). The Filing Persons did not believe the net book value of the Company was relevant to the fairness of the Offer Price because of their belief that a DCF valuation provides the best measure of the value of a company’s business.” |
| | |
| (6) | The following text replaces (v) under the heading “Position of the Purchaser” in Section 3 – “Special Factors – Fairness”: “(v) The DCF value of each Share is $1.76 per Share (or 42% less than the Offer Price). We believe that the DCF valuation provides the best measure for the value of the Company’s business as a going concern.” |
| | |
| (7) | The following sentence is added at the end of the fifth paragraph of Section 3 – “Special Factors – Fairness”: “The going private transaction has not been approved by a majority of the directors of the Company who are not employees. As noted above, the Offer is structured so that at least a majority of unaffiliated shareholders of the Company must tender their Shares in order for the Offer to be consummated. However, the transaction has not been structured so that at least a majority of the unaffiliated shareholders of the Company must approve the Offer or the Merger.” |
| | |
| (8) | The following text is added at the end of the second paragraph under the heading “Comparisons with Selected Software and Information Company Transactions” of Section 4 - Special Factors – Reports, Opinions, Appraisals and Negotiations”: |
Comparisons with Selected Software and Information Company Transactions.
In conducting its comparable transaction analysis, JEGI compared the proposed tender for Navtech Shares with mergers or acquisitions concerning application and decision support software and data-driven businesses that have been announced or finalized over the past 3 years. The transactions that were ultimately selected involved companies of comparable size to Navtech, with market valuations at an average EBITDA multiple of 9.2x, and an average trailing 12 months revenue multiple of 1.6x (see Table below). The Valuation Report also notes that these companies and transactions may not resemble Navtech in growth profile, product mix, operating leverage, or served market, and so should not be relied on as a benchmark for valuation.

The group of companies that JEGI used for comparison trade at average revenue and EBITDA multiples of 3.0x and 12.0x respectively, and were chosen for their similarity to Navtech in the following respects:
· | They are point application, software providers whose solutions are industry and/or business sector specific; |
| Their software solutions are of the workflow support, operations management and decision support type, and help to streamline their customers’ resource and asset allocation strategies; and |
| Their products and services are primarily sold through direct sales force channels. (see Table below). |

| (10) | The following sentence is added after the second sentence of paragraph 5 under the heading “Significant Corporate Events” in Section 9 – “The Offer – Background of the Offer; Contacts with the Company”: “The option for taking the Company private through a one step merger was dismissed as being overly time consuming and administratively burdensome. A reverse stock split was also dismissed as being unlikely to achieve the goal of taking the Company private.” |
| | |
| (11) | The following sentence is added after the second sentence of paragraph 8 under the heading “Significant Corporate Events” in Section 9 – “The Offer – Background of the Offer; Contacts with the Company”: “The Sponsors considered it appropriate to proceed with the Offer at this time because they were of the view that not enough focus was being given to day-to-day governance of the Company because of the time and resources required to comply with public company reporting obligations and the formality of public company board meetings.” |
