EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed with respect to the Reporting Person, beneficial ownership of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ZipRealty, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 1 supplements the Schedule 13D previously filed on April 28, 2014 (the “Schedule 13D”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the same meaning herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Person in the Schedule 13D.
This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to update the Reporting Person’s disclosures under Items 4, 6 and 7 with respect to Reporting Person’s entry into a Tender and Voting Agreement with the Issuer and Realogy Group LLC (“Realogy”).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On July 15, 2014, Honeycomb Acquisition, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), Realogy and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all outstanding Shares at a price of $6.75 per share, net to the seller in cash without interest and less any required withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, following the consummation of the Offer and subject to the approval of Issuer’s stockholders (if required by applicable law): (i) Purchaser will be merged with and into the Issuer, and Issuer will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Realogy (the “Merger”); and (ii) each Share outstanding immediate prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than Shares held in treasury or owned by Realogy, Purchaser or any of their subsidiaries or any Shares held by stockholders who validly exercise their appraisal rights) will be converted into the right to receive in cash an amount per share equal to the Offer Price. The purpose of the Offer and the Merger is to enable Realogy to acquire control of the Issuer by acquiring all of the outstanding shares.
Tender and Voting Agreement
In connection with the Merger Agreement, on July 15, 2014, the Reporting Person, Issuer, Realogy and Purchaser entered into a Tender and Voting Agreement (the “Tender and Voting Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Tender and Voting Agreement, the Reporting Person has agreed to validly tender the Shares beneficially owned by him in the Offer, including any additional Shares that he may acquire after the date of the Tender and Voting Agreement. The Reporting Person may not withdraw any Shares tendered in the Offer pursuant to the Tender and Voting Agreement.
In addition, the Reporting Person has agreed, among other things, to (i) be present, in person or by proxy, at any annual or special Issuer stockholder meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof and (ii) vote all Shares as to which the Reporting Person has voting power (to the extent such Shares have not been purchased in the Offer): (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement; (b) in favor of the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes for adoption of the Merger Agreement on the date on which the meeting is held; (c) in favor of any other matter necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (d) against any proposal that would in any respect impede, interfere with or prevent the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (e) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation of the Reporting Person under the Tender and Voting Agreement.
The Reporting Person have also irrevocably appointed Realogy as his attorney-in-fact and proxy for and in his name, place and stead to attend and represent the Reporting Person at all Issuer stockholder meetings, to vote, or issue instructions to the record holder to vote, the Reporting Person’s Shares in accordance with the provisions described above, and to grant or withhold, or to issue instructions to the record holder to grant or withhold, all written consents with respect to such Shares at any Issuer stockholder meeting.
