Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: This Amendment No. 5 to the Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 19, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on July 14, 2000, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on April 18, 2005, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on September 24, 2008, and Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 14, 2010 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”) and relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Simon Worldwide, Inc. (formerly, Cyrk, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Simon”). The principal executive offices of Simon are located at 5200 W. Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. The filing of any amendment to this Schedule 13D (including the filing of this Amendment No. 5) shall not be construed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that a material change has occurred in the facts set forth in this Schedule 13D or that such amendment is required under Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
| |
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended to add the following information: The total amount of funds that would be required by Overseas Toys to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the proposed Qualified Offer described in Item 4, assuming that (i) the proposed Qualified Offer is commenced, (ii) that the offer price is equal to the $0.27 per share of Common Stock proposed by Overseas Toys and (iii) that all shares of Common Stock subject to the proposed Qualified Offer (determined on a fully-diluted basis and calculated on a treasury basis) are tendered in accordance with the requirements thereof, is estimated to be approximately $3,431,000. The proposed Qualified Offer would not be conditioned upon Overseas Toys entering into any financing arrangements. Assuming the proposed Qualified Offer is commenced, Overseas Toys anticipates that it will obtain all funds required for the consummation of such proposed Qualified Offer from Ronald Burkle, an affiliate of Overseas Toys, whom Overseas Toys anticipates will (i) obtain such amounts from personal funds and (ii) contribute such funds to Overseas Toys as a capital contribution. |
| |
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended to delete the last four paragraphs thereof, which were set forth in Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 14, 2010, and to replace such last four paragraphs in their entirety with the following information: On October 22, 2010, Overseas Toys delivered to Simon’s Board of Directors care of the Special Committee of Independent Directors (the “Special Committee”) the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 99.9 (the “Letter”). The Letter states that it amends and replaces in its entirety the October 13, 2010 letter delivered by Overseas Toys to Simon’s Board of Directors (which October 13, 2010 letter was attached to Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 14, 2010). In the Letter, Overseas Toys announced its intent to commence a Qualified Offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not owned by Overseas Toys at a purchase price of $0.27 per share. The Letter requests that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.06(c) of the Recapitalization Agreement, the Board of Directors, acting through the Special Committee, approve the Liquidation Value proposed in the Letter for purposes of the Recapitalization Agreement of $13,674,557, as reflected in the $0.27 per Share price proposed to be paid in Overseas Toys’ anticipated Qualified Offer (the “Proposed Liquidation Value”). Overseas Toys proposes to make a Qualified Offer in accordance with the requirements of the Recapitalization Agreement and Article XII of the Amended Charter. Accordingly, the proposed Qualified Offer would not be subject to any financing or due diligence contingencies or to any other conditions other than those that are reasonable and customary for similar transactions; provided, that the Board of Directors and the Independent Directors approve the Proposed Liquidation Value within the time period specified in the Recapitalization Agreement. On October 23, 2010, Overseas Toys was notified in a letter from Simon’s general counsel that the Board of Directors and a majority of the Independent Directors had approved the Proposed Liquidation Value set forth in the Letter, solely for the purpose of determining the Liquidation Value (as defined in the Recapitalization Agreement). The potential Qualified Offer will be subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulatory requirements and the condition that it be consummated on or prior to December 31, 2010, in accordance with the requirements of the Amended Charter and the Recapitalization Agreement governing a Qualified Offer. |
6
Notwithstanding the approval of the Proposed Liquidation Value by the Board of Directors and a majority of the Independent Directors for the purpose of determining the Liquidation Value under the Recapitalization Agreement, there can be no assurance that the proposed Qualified Offer will be commenced by Overseas Toys or, if commenced, will be successfully consummated. The Letter and the foregoing summarize Overseas Toys’ current intentions only and should not be construed as an offer to purchase any shares of Common Stock. The proposed Qualified Offer would only be commenced by means of a tender offer statement to the holders of Common Stock and Overseas Toys’ filing of a Schedule TO with the SEC. The Letter provides that until such time as a Qualified Offer commences (in which case the terms of such Qualified Offer will govern Overseas Toys’ actions with respect thereto), Overseas Toys reserves all rights it currently may have to make or support other proposals, including, without limitation, liquidation of Simon or the declaration of an extraordinary dividend (either before or after a Qualified Offer is consummated), or to otherwise take actions that may involve one or more of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. If a Qualified Offer is consummated, whether all or any shares of Common Stock are tendered by the shareholders for purchase in connection therewith, the Article XII Effective Period will terminate in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Charter, and all of the provisions of Article XII of the Amended Charter, other than Section 1 thereof, will terminate in their entirety and be of no further force or effect. Accordingly, the special minority protection rights established in the Amended Charter in connection with the Recapitalization Agreement that are described above in this Item 4 would expire upon consummation of a Qualified Offer. |
| |
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits |
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is amended to add a reference to a new Exhibit 99.9 as follows: Exhibit 99.9 Letter, dated October 22, 2010, to the Board of Directors of Simon Worldwide, Inc. c/o the Special Committee of Independent Directors |
