Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
Tengelmann and ECP hold the shares of Common Stock they own as an investment.  Except for CH serving as Executive Chairman of the Board, and Dr. Andreas Guldin (who was from July 2005 until April 2007 Senior Executive Vice President (Corporate Finance) and Co-chief financial officer of Tengelmann, and since May 2007 has been Managing Director of US Corporate Development of Tengelmann and serves as Chief Executive Officer of ECP) serving as Vice Chairman of the Board and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company, Tengelmann does not participate in the day-to-day management of the Company, and it does not have any present intention to increase its participation in such day-to-day management.  Tengelmann reserves the right, however, to increase its participation in the day-to-d ay management of the Company, to the extent it deems such participation appropriate, and the size of its holdings of Common Stock and Series A-T Preferred Stock gives it power to do so.
 
On August 4, 2009, the Investors acquired (the “Acquisition”) 60,000 shares of Series A-T Preferred Stock, which were contributed to Tengelmann immediately upon the consummation of the Acquisition.  Tengelmann intends to hold the shares of Series A-T Preferred Stock contributed to it by the Investors as an investment.  For further information, see Item 6, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Investment Agreement dated as of July 23, 2009 among the Investors, ECP and the Company, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 7.1 to Amendment No. 44 to the Statement and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
 
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments & Taxation the articles supplementary of the Series A-T Preferred Stock setting forth the voting powers, preferences, conversion and other rights, qualifications, limitations as to dividends, terms and conditions of redemption and restrictions of the Series A-T Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary”).  For further information, see Item 6, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 7.1 to Amendment No. 45 to the Statement and is incorporated herein by reference in i ts entirety.
 
In connection with the Acquisition, Tengelmann and the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholder Agreement dated as of August 4, 2009 (the “Stockholder Agreement”).  Among other things, the Stockholder Agreement sets forth certain corporate governance rights, as well as certain registration rights, preemptive rights and consent rights.  For further information, see Item 6, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholder Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 7.2 to Amendment No. 45 to the Statement and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Pursuant to the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary, Tengelmann’s current ownership of Common Stock and the Series A-T Preferred Stock gives it the right to elect four directors.  In addition, Tengelmann intends to seek to influence the composition of the Board (including by nominating, voting for and soliciting votes in favor of candidates for the Board) and the corporate governance and strategy of the Company in general, subject to the corporate governance provisions of the Stockholder Agreement.
 
Of the 11 current directors of the Company, the following four were elected by Tengelmann:
 
John D. Barline (“JDB”)
Dr. Jens-Jürgen Böckel (“JJB”)
Christian Wilhelm Erich Haub
Dr. Andreas Guldin (“AG”)

Tengelmann and ECP regularly review their respective investments in the Company and, depending on the results of any such review, Tengelmann may decide to alter its strategy in respect of its investment in the Company in light of the investment objectives and policies of the Reporting Persons, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results, the price level and availability of the Company’s securities, opportunities to acquire or dispose of the Company’s securities, trading profit maximization and loss minimization opportunities, general market and industry conditions or other factors.  Subject to the corporate governance provisions of the Stockholder Agreement, the Reporting Parties may in the future exercise any and all of their respective rig hts as shareholders of the Company, including to cause or facilitate one or more of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  For example, the Reporting Parties may purchase or sell shares of Common Stock or purchase or sell the Company’s 5.125% Convertible Senior Notes or the Company’s 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”, and together with any other convertible debt securities of the Company, “Convertible Debt”) in the open market or in private transactions or launch a tender offer for shares of Common Stock or Convertible Debt.  Subject to the corporate governance provisions of the Stockholder Agreement, the Reporting Parties may also encourage, solicit or vote shares of Common Stock to approve:
 
 
an extraordinary transaction;
     
 
a material change in the capitalization or dividend policy of the Company;
     
 
a change to the composition or size of the Board or the terms to be served by directors or a nomination to fill an existing vacancy on the Board or a change to the Company’s management;
     
 
 
 
11

 
 
 
 
a change to the Company’s business or corporate structure;
     
 
a change to the Company’s charter or bylaws, including a change which may impede or facilitate the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; or
     
 
causing the Common Stock, or any other securities of the Company that may be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, to be delisted from such exchange or no longer be authorized to be quoted on such system, or the registration of any such securities under federal securities laws to be terminated.

Based on the current trading price of the Common Stock and the Senior Notes, Tengelmann and ECP may in the future acquire additional shares of Common Stock or may acquire Convertible Debt, either on the open market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise.  The actual number of shares of Common Stock or principal amount of Convertible Debt acquired by Tengelmann and ECP, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of Common Stock or Convertible Debt, as applicable, and the availability of Common Stock or Convertible Debt, as applicable, including any blocks of Common Stock or Convertible Debt, opportunities to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock or Convertible Debt, trading profit maximization and los s minimization opportunities, general market and industry conditions or other factors, and Tengelmann’s evaluation of the benefits to it of gaining additional representation on the Board.
 
Other than as described above, as of the date of this Amendment, none of the Reporting Parties nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Parties, any of the members of the Board nominated by Tengelmann, has any present plan or intention which would result in or relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

However, if the number of outstanding shares was further adjusted (as further adjusted, the Diluted Shares) to also include the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable to The Yucaipa Companies LLC (together with its affiliates, Yucaipa) within 60 days hereof upon conversion of the 8.0% Cumulative Convertible Prefer red Stock, Series A-Y, without par value (the Series A-Y Preferred Stock), based on the initial conversion rate of the Series A-Y Preferred Stock, then Tengelmann would have ownership of approximately 39.4% of the Diluted Shares.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
 
Series A-T Preferred Stock
 
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments & Taxation the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary, which set forth voting powers, preferences, conversion and other rights, qualifications, limitations as to dividends, terms and conditions of redemption and restrictions of the Series A-T Preferred Stock.  Each share of Series A-T Preferred Stock (i) has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000, subject to adjustment, (ii) is convertible, at the election of the holders beginning on August 5, 2010, at an initial conversion rate of $5.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to certain adjustments) and was subject to the limitation on conversion of more than 1.00% of the outstanding Common Stock prior to obtaining th e NYSE Stockholder Approval on December 15, 2009, (iii) entitles holders to an 8.0% annual dividend, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in additional shares of Series A-T Preferred Stock if the Company is not able to pay the dividends in cash in full; provided, however, that if the Company makes a dividend payment in additional shares of Series A-T Preferred Stock, the Series A-T Preferred Stock will be valued at the liquidation preference of the Series A-T Preferred Stock and the dividend rate will be 9.5% per annum with respect to any dividend period in which dividends are paid in additional shares of Series A-T Preferred Stock; provided further, to the extent the Company fails to pay dividends on the Series A-T Preferred Stock, the dividend rate payable shall be increased by 2.0% per annum for such dividend period, and, if the Company had failed to obtain the NYSE Stockholder Approval prior to or on the six-month anniversary of the issuance, the dividend rate would have been increased by an additiona l 2.0% per annum from such six-month anniversary and would be increased by an additional 1.0% per annum at the end of each six-month period thereafter until such NYSE Stockholder Approval had been obtained, (iv) entitles Tengelmann to vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters upon which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis, subject to the applicable limitations prior to obtaining the NYSE Stockholder Approval, (v) requires the Company to redeem in cash all outstanding shares of the Series A-T Preferred Stock on August 1, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”), at 100.0% of the liquidation preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends and (vi) is not redeemable prior to the Maturity Date.  Additionally, Tengelmann may require the Company to redeem the Series A-T Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at 101% of the liquidation preference upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes to the Company, including a change of control and certain bankruptcy events.
 
Pursuant to the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary, Tengelmann’s current ownership of the Series A-T Preferred Stock gives it the right to elect four directors.  Generally, the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary provide that Tengelmann is entitled to elect a certain number of directors to the Board based in proportion on the Tengelmann Percentage Interest (as defined below).  So long as the Tengelmann Percentage Interest is at least 10%, Tengelmann shall have the right to elect the percentage of Company directorships (including vacancies) equal to the Tengelmann Percentage Interest (rounded upward); provided, however, that so long as the percentage of all outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company held by Yucaipa (the “Yucaipa Perce ntage”) continuously equals 20% or more, if, based on the Tengelmann Percentage Interest, Tengelmann would have the right to elect five directors pursuant to the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary, then Tengelmann shall only have the right to elect four.
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
“Tengelmann Percentage Interest” is defined in the Stockholder Agreement and the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary, and generally refers to the percentage of the total outstanding securities of the Company having the right to vote in any election of members of the Board that is beneficially owned by Tengelmann and its affiliates, without giving effect to decreases attributable to issuances of new equity securities by the Company from March 4, 2007 (except shares of Common Stock issued as merger consideration in the Company’s December 3, 2007 acquisition of Pathmark Stores, Inc.) up to but not including August 4, 2009.  As a result, the approximately 5.6 million shares of Common Stock issued by the Company and outstanding in connection with the Share Le nding Agreements of the Company with Bank of America, N.A. and Lehman Brothers International (Europe) Limited (filed as Exhibits 10.9 and 10.10 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 12, 2007, as amended by amendments to those agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 17, 2007) are ignored in determining the Tengelmann Percentage Interest.
 
The preceding description of the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary is qualified by reference to the full text of the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 7.1 to Amendment No. 45 to the Statement and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
 
Stockholder Agreement
 
In connection with the Acquisition, Tengelmann entered into the Stockholder Agreement.
 
In accordance with and pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, the Board was expanded to 11 members, including four directors elected by Tengelmann, and the number of directors may not be (i) increased without the consent of Tengelmann and that number of directors that is at least 66.67% of the total number of directorships (including vacancies) or (ii) decreased without the consent of 66.67% of the total number of directorships (including vacancies); provided, however, that any decrease in the number of directorships that has the effect of reducing the number of directors that Tengelmann is entitled to nominate under the Stockholder Agreement requires the consent of Tengelmann.
 
Directors elected in accordance with the Convertible Preferred Articles Supplementary or nominated and elected or appointed by Tengelmann pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement (the “Tengelmann Directors”) have the right (at Tengelmann’s election) to serve on each committee of the Board and the number of such directors serving on each such committee of the Board cannot be less than the proportionate number of Tengelmann Directors to the total number of seats on the Board at such time (rounded to the nearest whole number).  So long as there are any Tengelmann Directors serving on the Board, at least one Tengelmann Director has the right to serve on each committee of the Board.  Tengelmann has the right to select the Tengelmann Directors that will serve on each committee of the Board of Directors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Tengelmann Director shall not serve on any committee if such service would violate any law or listing exchange rule.  As soon as practicable upon Tengelmann’s request, Tengelmann is also entitled to have one Tengelmann Director be appointed to the board of directors and committees thereof of each subsidiary of the Company.
 
 
 
16

 
 
 
Tengelmann has agreed to vote for all other director nominees, other than in contested elections, in a manner identical to the manner in which the holders of voting securities of the Company, other than Tengelmann and its affiliates or Yucaipa, vote.  Tengelmann has also agreed not to take any action to remove or oppose any Board member not nominated by Tengelmann or to seek to change the size of the Board or otherwise seek to expand Tengelmann’s Board representation in a manner inconsistent with this voting obligation.
 
The Stockholder Agreement provides that for so long as the Tengelmann Percentage Interest is at least 25%, Tengelmann’s approval will be required for specified Company actions including specified extraordinary corporate transactions, specified issuances of equity securities, changes to the Company’s organizational documents and specified governance policies, the issuance and delivery to Yucaipa of any Common Stock upon the exercise by Yucaipa of the Series B Warrants (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement), amendments or refinancing of the Company’s ABL Credit Agreement (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement) before the Maturity Date and any action that could limit, restrict, prohibit or prevent the Company’s ability to pay dividends in full in cash on the Series A-T Preferred Stock.  Tengelmann’s approval will also be required for takeover defenses and specified transactions with affiliates after such time that the Yucaipa Percentage is less than 17.8% so long as the Tengelmann Percentage Interest is at least 25%.  The approval of a majority of the Tengelmann-nominated directors will be required for other specified Company actions, including specified acquisition or disposition transactions, specified issuances of equity securities, settlements or repurchases of certain equity securities, debt incurrence, dividends and the appointment or removal of the Company Chairman.  The approval of a majority of the Tengelmann-nominated directors will also be required for the adoption and amendment of strategic and business plans, appointment of the Company Chief Executive Officer, dissolution of the Company and specified capital expenditures after such time that the Yucaipa Percentage is less than 17.8% so long as the Tengelmann Percentage Interest is at least 25%.  Prior to entering into the Stockholder Agreement, the Board adopted amended and restated Bylaws of the Company, which became effective upon the consummation of the Acquisition to reflect the foregoing rights, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 7.3 to Amendment No. 45 to the Statement and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
 
If Yucaipa purchases any of the Senior Notes, it must provide Tengelmann an opportunity to purchase at the same price a portion of the Senior Notes in an amount calculated by dividing the aggregate number of shares of Series A-T Preferred Stock owned by Tengelmann by the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at such time.  If Tengelmann purchases any Senior Notes, it must provide Yucaipa an opportunity to purchase 50% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes at the same price.
