Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 3, dated May 5, 2017 (this “Amendment No. 3”), supplements and amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on November 24, 2015 and by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on July 19, 2016, by Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. (“Crestview GP”), Crestview Partners II, L.P. (“Crestview DE”), Crestview Partners II (FF), L.P. (“Crestview FF”), Crestview Partners II (TE), L.P. (“Crestview TE”), Crestview Offshore Holdings II (Cayman), L.P. (“Crestview Cayman”), Crestview Offshore Holdings II (FF Cayman), L.P. (“Crestview FF Cayman”), Crestview Offshore Holdings II (892 Cayman), L.P. (“Crestview 892 Cayman”), Crestview-NAFH, LLC (“Crestview-NAFH”) and Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (“Crestview Advisors”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons” and each, a “Reporting Person”) with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Shares”), of Capital Bank Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

 

The FHN Merger Agreement

 

On May 3, 2017, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “FHN Merger Agreement”) by and between the Issuer, First Horizon National Corp., a Tennessee Corporation (“FHN”), and Firestone Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of FHN (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, at the Effective Time (as defined in the FHN Merger Agreement), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, and the Issuer will continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “FHN Merger”). Additionally, at the Effective Time and subject to the terms and conditions of the FHN Merger Agreement, each share of the Issuer’s Class A Shares and each share of the Issuer’s Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Shares”), in each case issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Exception Shares (as defined in the FHN Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder but subject to proration, either cash or a number of shares of common stock of FHN, in each case with a value equivalent to $7.90 plus 1.75 shares of FHN common stock (based on the average closing sale price of FHN common stock for the ten full trading days prior to the closing date).

 

The FHN Support Agreement

 

Consummation of the FHN Merger is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote (as defined in the FHN Merger Agreement) approving the FHN Merger Agreement. In support of obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of the FHN Merger Agreement on May 3, 2017, Crestview-NAFH, Crestview Advisors and FHN entered into a letter agreement (the “FHN Support Agreement”) pursuant to which Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors agreed that, at the Company Meeting (as defined in the FHN Merger Agreement) or any other meeting or action of the Issuer’s stockholders with respect to which Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors are entitled to vote, Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors will (i) vote all of the Class A Shares beneficially owned by them (the “Owned Voting Shares”) in favor of, and not initiate any proxy solicitation or undertake any efforts not to support, approval of the FHN Merger Agreement, the FHN Merger and any other matter required to be approved by the shareholders of the Issuer to effect the FHN Merger and the transactions contemplated by the FHN Merger Agreement, and (ii) not vote the Owned Voting Shares in favor of approval of any alternative acquisition proposals or any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, materially impede, interfere with or delay or otherwise materially and adversely affect the FHN Merger or the transactions contemplated by the FHN Merger Agreement. Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors also agreed not to solicit or engage in negotiations with respect to any alternative acquisition proposals, except to the extent the Issuer’s representatives would be permitted to take such actions pursuant to the FHN Merger Agreement.

 

Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors will not be required to vote the Owned Voting Shares in favor of approval of any amendment or modification to the FHN Merger Agreement that would change the form of merger consideration, reduce the amount of merger consideration, adversely affect the tax consequences to Crestview-NAFH or Crestview Advisors of receiving the merger consideration, extend the Termination Date (as defined in the FHN Merger Agreement) or impose additional conditions that would reasonably be expected to delay the consummation of the FHN Merger beyond the Termination Date, or otherwise in a manner that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to Crestview-NAFH or Crestview Advisors.

 

 

 

In addition, prior to the Effective Time of the FHN Merger, Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors agreed not to, without the prior written consent of FHN, (i) sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Owned Voting Shares or any Class B Shares beneficially owned by them (together with the Owned Voting Shares, the “Owned Shares”), unless the transferee agrees in writing to comply with the requirements of the FHN Support Agreement (except that Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors may transfer, without such an agreement from the transferee or notice to FHN after the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, up to 25% of the Owned Shares owned by each of Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors at the time of the Requisite Company Vote in transfers that are exempt from registration and in compliance with the volume limitations set forth in Rule 144), or (ii) take any action which would preclude Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors from performing their obligations under the FHN Support Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the FHN Support Agreement, Crestview-NAFH agreed to waive its rights to which it is entitled under under the Registration Rights Agreement, and to waive any claims against the Issuer, FHN and their respective officers, employees and directors to the extent relating to or in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement. Crestview-NAFH and Crestview Advisors also agreed not to commence or participate in any class action relating to the negotiation or execution of the FHN Support Agreement or the FHN Merger Agreement, or the consummation of the FHN Merger.

 

The foregoing summary of the FHN Support Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the FHN Support Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 7 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
