In connection with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 13, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Fanatics, Sweet and Dreams, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and in consideration thereof, Fanatics and Sweet entered into Support Agreements, dated as of April 13, 2012 (collectively, the “Support Agreements”), with each of Ross Tannenbaum, the CEO of Dreams; Sam D. Battistone, the Chairman of Dreams; David Greene, Dreams’ Senior Vice President; Kevin Bates, Dreams’ Division President-Retail; Warren Greene, Richard Greene and Frost Gamma Investment Trust (the “Supporting Shareholders”), which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 through 99.8, respectively. Neither Fanatics nor Sweet paid any additional consideration to the Supporting Shareholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Support Agreements. In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Fanatics entered into definitive equity financing with certain investment funds or private equity funds affiliated with Insight Venture Partners.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Sweet will be merged with and into Dreams (the “Merger”), with Dreams surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fanatics. Upon the Merger becoming effective (the “Effective Time”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of the Dreams Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by shareholders who have properly exercised and perfected dissenters’ rights under Utah law) will be converted into the right to receive $3.45 in cash, without interest (“Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Dreams Common Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of such Common Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants requiring each of the parties to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated. The completion of the Merger is subject to various customary closing conditions, including, among others, the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Dreams entitled to vote thereon (“Shareholder Approval”). The Dreams Board has agreed to recommend that Dreams shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement, subject to its ability to change its recommendation under certain circumstances. The Merger Agreement also requires Dreams to convene and hold a shareholders’ meeting to vote on the approval of the Merger Agreement, regardless of whether an alternative proposal has been made or a change in the recommendation of the Dreams Board has occurred. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, and provides that in the event of termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Dreams will owe Fanatics a cash termination fee of $5.5 million (the “Breakup Fee”). In addition, subject to certain limitations, either party may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Company’s shareholder meeting or if the Merger is not consummated before October 12, 2012.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Supporting Shareholders, each in its capacity as a shareholder of Dreams, entered into the Support Agreements. Under the terms of the Support Agreements, each Supporting Shareholder has agreed, among other things, to (i) vote all Common Shares in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and against any competing transaction or any other action, proposal or agreement that would reasonably be expected to interfere with or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) appoint the Reporting Persons as such Supporting Shareholder’s proxy to vote such Shares in connection with the Merger Agreement and (iv) not transfer such Shares or enter into any other arrangements inconsistent with the Support Agreements. In addition, Ross Tannenbaum has also agreed to pay Fanatics fifty percent (50%) of the excess of (i) (A) any proceeds per Common Share that such Supporting Shareholder receives from the sale of Common Shares in connection with an Acquisition Proposal (including a Superior Proposal) (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement) over (B) the Merger Consideration for such Common Shares, if an agreement for such Acquisition Proposal (including a Superior Proposal) is entered into or completed, within one year of the termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances which result in Dreams being obligated to pay a Breakup Fee to Fanatics; and (ii) (A) any proceeds per Common Share that such Supporting Shareholder receives from Fanatics in excess of (B) the original Merger Consideration for such Common Shares, if the Merger closes and prior to the Effective Time Fanatics has increased the Merger Consideration.

 

8


The Support Agreements will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the effective time of the Merger, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (c) any amendment or other modification of the Merger Agreement that reduces the amount of the Merger Consideration or is otherwise materially adverse to the Supporting Shareholder.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) the directors of Sweet immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the directors of Dreams as the surviving corporation until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the surviving corporation (or their earlier resignation or removal) or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, (ii) the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation shall be as set forth as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement, and (iii) the bylaws of the surviving corporation shall be as set forth as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement.

If the Merger is consummated as planned, the Common Shares will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and delisted from the NYSE Amex Equities Exchange.

References to, and descriptions of, the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreements as set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copy of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreements included as Exhibits 99.1 through 99.8 respectively, to this Schedule 13D, and such agreements are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)—(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)—(b) None of the Reporting Persons owns any Common Shares. However, as described in Item 4 of this Statement, as a result of the Support Agreements, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 15,879,194 Common Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Support Agreements, and based on the share holdings of the parties to the Support Agreements as of April 13, 2012, each Reporting Person is entitled to cast a total of 15,533,676 votes, or 34.8%, of the total votes that may be cast by Dreams shareholders as of such date (based on 44,662,579 Common Shares outstanding as of March 1, 2012). In the event that the Option Shares are issued upon exercise of options, each Reporting Person would be entitled to cast a total of 15,879,194 votes, or 35.3%, of the total votes that may be cast by Dreams shareholders as of such time (assuming 45,008,097 Common Shares outstanding as of such time).

The Reporting Persons do not have sole voting or sole dispositive power with respect to any of such Common Shares, but may be deemed to have shared voting and shared dispositive power with respect to all such Common Shares.
