Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 13 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 13 amends Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 as set forth below.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The information previously provided in response to Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
On November 23, 2021, Carlson Capital delivered a letter (the November 23 Letter) to the members of the board of directors of the Issuer, pursuant to which Carlson Capital has proposed to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer not already owned by Carlson Capital for a price of $19.00 per share, payable in cash (the Proposed Transaction).
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Reporting Persons will seek to obtain access to, and review, additional due diligence materials from the Issuer and conduct discussions with the Issuer regarding the terms of the Proposed Transaction. The Reporting Persons may change the terms of the Proposed Transaction, determine to accelerate or terminate discussions with the Issuer with respect to the Proposed Transaction or alternative transactions, withdraw their offer to pursue the Proposed Transaction, take any action to facilitate or increase the likelihood of consummation of the Proposed Transaction, or change their intentions with respect to any such matters, in each case at any time and without prior notice, except for such notice as is required by applicable law. The Reporting Persons and their affiliates may, directly or indirectly, take such additional steps as they may deem appropriate to further the Proposed Transaction, including, without limitation, (x) engaging in discussions with other stockholders, potential sources of financing, advisors, and other relevant parties, and (y) entering into agreements, arrangements and understandings as may be appropriate in connection with the Proposed Transaction.
The foregoing summary of the November 23 Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the November 23 Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 20 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Proposed Transaction may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (i) through (ix) (as defined below), including an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, a change in the board of directors or management of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer or other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any discussions related to the Proposed Transaction or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated.
At the time of the filing of this Amendment No. 13, except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans in their capacity as stockholders which relate to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any change in the board of directors or management of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (v) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure, (vi) changes in the Issuers charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (vii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (viii) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (ix) any action similar to any of those described above (collectively, clauses (i) through (ix)). However, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, engage in discussions, whether initiated by the Reporting Persons or another party, concerning proposals for transactions or other arrangements that may relate to or, if consummated, result in an event described in clauses (i) through (ix). The Reporting Persons may review and evaluate their investments in the Issuer at any time, whether in light of the discussions described in the immediately preceding sentence or otherwise, which may give rise to plans or proposals in addition to or in lieu of the Proposed Transaction that, if consummated, would result in one or more of the events described in clauses (i) through (ix).
