NOTE 9—MODIFIED DUTCH AUCTION TENDER OFFER

 

On July 9, 2014 the Company announced that it had commenced a modified “Dutch auction” self-tender offer to repurchase for cash shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $25 million.  Under the terms of the tender offer, the Company’s stockholders had the opportunity to tender some or all of their shares at a price within the range of $6.50 to $6.70 per share.

The tender offer expired on August 6, 2014.  The Company accepted for purchase an aggregate of 3,846,153 shares of its common stock at a final purchase price of $6.50 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $25 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer.  A  total of 10,466,830 shares were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at a price of $6.50 per share. Since the offer was oversubscribed, the number of shares that the Company accepted for purchase from tendering stockholders was prorated, based upon the proration procedures described in the offer to purchase (other than shares tendered by “odd lot” holders, which were not subject to proration and were accepted in full).

The aggregate number of shares purchased by the Company in the tender offer represented approximately 14.0 percent of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of August 8, 2014.  Following settlement of the tender offer, the Company had approximately 23.7 million shares of its common stock outstanding.
