The Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal is incorporated by reference in the Schedule TO to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.  All references herein to page numbers and sections in the Offer to Purchase refer to page numbers and sections in that document as it was filed with the SEC as exhibit (a)(1)(i) to the Schedule TO on May 5, 2009.

 

Item 11.          Additional Information.

 

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language thereto:

 

Results of the Tender Offer

 

The Tender Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 26, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”). On June 30, 2009, the Company announced the acceptance for purchase of all outstanding Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date. Based on final information provided to the Company by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent and depositary for the Tender Offer, $93,919,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing approximately 53.67 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes prior to the completion of the Tender Offer, were validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, at a purchase price of $400 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of purchase. The aggregate consideration (including accrued and unpaid interest) for the accepted Notes of $37,831,747.19, which was deposited with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) on June 30, 2009, will be delivered promptly to tendering holders by DTC. The Company borrowed the necessary funds to pay for the accepted Notes by drawing $37,831,747.19 under the term loan provided pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2009, as amended, by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and K Financing, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum Equity Capital Partners II, L.P. (the “Amended and Restated Platinum Credit Facility”), and caused such funds to be deposited with DTC. To pay for the expenses incurred in connection with the Tender Offer and the related transactions, the Company borrowed $10,000,000 under the working capital loan facility provided pursuant to the Amended and Restated Platinum Credit Facility.

 

In addition, as a result of the funding of the Amended and Restated Platinum Credit Facility, the previously announced amendments to the Company’s credit facilities with UniCredit Corporate Banking S.p.A., entered into in connection with the Tender Offer as described in the Offer to Purchase, have become effective.

 

Furthermore, on June 30, 2009, upon consummation of the Tender Offer and the closing of the term loan under the Amended and Restated Platinum Credit Facility, the Company issued the Closing Warrant and entered into the Investor Rights Agreement with K Financing, LLC, and entered into a Corporate Advisory Services Agreement with Platinum Equity Advisors, in each case substantially in the forms described in the Offer to Purchase and attached as Exhibits (d)(8), (d)(10) and (d)(11), respectively, to this Schedule TO.”
