Red Oak Announces Tender Offer For 1.2 Million Shares of FHCO.
March 29, 2007 (New York, New York) Red Oak Fund, LP, a fund managed by Red Oak Partners, LLC announced today that it is a commencing a friendly tender offer to acquire up to 1.2 million shares of the common stock of The Female Health Company (FHCO.OB) at a price, net to the seller, of $2.27 per share. This offer is being made because Red Oak has an interest in the Company and believes its prospects for success in the future are good, said David Sandberg, Red Oak’s Managing Director. “We have executed a Standstill Agreement with the Company agreeing that for a period of up to one year we will not seek representation on the board, and we have no plans to seek, propose, or assist anyone else with the change of control. We believe the Company is well managed and represents an attractive investment, and we are making this offer because the number of shares available in over-the-counter transactions has been insufficient. Also, we want to be sure that all shareholders, not just those who follow the bulletin board market, have a chance to decide whether they wish to accept our offer.”
Red Oak’s offer price represents a premium of approximately 15 cents per share over the closing price on March 28, 2007, the trading day before the first announcement of the offer, which represents approximately a 7.1% premium. This represents a more substantial premium of approximately 11.7% to the average price at which FHCO was trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board market in the thirty day period preceding this announcement and a premium of approximately 38.9% to the average trading price for the six month period preceding this announcement.
Red Oak Partners is a privately held investment fund formed for the purpose of investing primarily in publicly traded equity securities.
Red Oak’s offer to purchase will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Schedule TO and will be made only by a formal offer to purchase and letter of transmittal which will be mailed to all shareholders of record as of a recent date.
