(f) AREX Capital Master is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Each of AREX Capital GP, AREX Capital Management and AREX Capital Management GP is organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. Mr. Rechtschaffen is a citizen of the United States of America.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The Shares purchased by AREX Capital Master and held in the AREX Managed Accounts were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase price of the 935,000 Shares beneficially owned by AREX Capital Master is $5,638,602, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,236,092 Shares held in the AREX Managed Accounts is approximately $7,838,220, including brokerage commissions.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.
On October 16, 2019, AREX Capital Management and AREX Investment Partners, LP (collectively, “AREX”) delivered a letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In the letter, AREX recognized the Issuer’s dominant market share in the mobile phone screen protector category, but stated that the Issuer suffers from investors’ focus on short-term results and that aspects of the Issuer’s business and industry have challenged the market’s ability to properly value its cash flows. AREX expressed in the letter that it was pleased that the Issuer announced in early August that it had retained Bank of America Merrill Lynch to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. AREX believes, as stated in the letter, that there is little-to-no benefit to the Issuer in remaining public. The letter discusses that, based on the Issuer’s current share price, the market is heavily discounting the likelihood of a sale of the Issuer occurring in light of the report on August 21, 2019 that a private equity firm would pay as much as $9 per share for the Issuer. AREX stated that based on its conversations with sell-side analysts and other shareholders, there is a concern that the Issuer’s Board will be unduly anchored to past trading levels or unrealistic in its view of the Issuer’s future potential and demand a similarly unrealistic price from a potential acquirer. AREX sent the letter to the Board to definitively state its view that the best outcome for the Issuer’s shareholders is the consummation of a sale of the Issuer and that a well-run sale process will allow the Issuer’s shareholders to receive fair and immediate value for their shares. The full text of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Based on its research, AREX believes that the Issuer should maximize shareholder value by selling the Company as a whole, or by selling its brands separately to one or more strategic or financial buyers. Strategic buyers could generate significant synergies by selling one or several of the Issuer’s market leading brands through their existing infrastructure. Financial buyers could generate compelling returns from buying all of the Issuer, benefitting from its significant free cash flow generation. Financial buyers could also generate compelling returns from buying all of the Issuer and monetizing certain of its brands while retaining the highly cash generative InvisibleShield business.
8 |
The Reporting Persons have engaged, and expect to continue to engage, in a dialogue with the Issuer's management and/or Board about opportunities to maximize shareholder value, the strategic alternatives review process the Issuer has undertaken, and transactions in which the Reporting Persons may seek to participate and potentially engage in as a purchaser or investor. The Reporting Persons may consider, explore, and/or develop plans and/or make proposals with respect to, among other things, the matters set forth in the previous sentence, as well as potential changes in the Issuer's operations, management, organizational documents, Board composition, ownership, capital or corporate structure, and strategy. The Reporting Persons may communicate with the Issuer’s management and/or Board with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Reporting Persons intend to communicate with the Issuer's management and Board about certain operational and strategic matters and to communicate with other shareholders or third parties, including potential acquirers, service providers and financing sources regarding the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with the Issuer or any such third parties pursuant to appropriate non-disclosure agreements. The Reporting Persons may change their intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending upon various factors, including without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor (i) to increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer, including through transactions involving the Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer in the open market or in private transactions, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the Common Stock without affecting their beneficial ownership of the Common Stock. In addition, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, (i) review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and (ii) consider or propose one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
