Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On April 27, 2012, Parent and Brookside Capital Trading Fund, L.P. (“Brookside”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment to Brookside Stock Purchase Agreement”) to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Brookside Stock Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March 5, 2012, by and between Parent and Brookside, reducing the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the Brookside Stock Purchase Agreement from 1,500,000 shares to 1,250,000 shares to reflect the correct number of shares of Common Stock owned by Brookside.  On April 27, 2012, immediately after entering into the Amendment to Brookside Stock Purchase Agreement, Parent closed each of the Private Purchases and thereby acquired an additional 2,082,747 shares of Common Stock, or an additional 2.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (based upon 75,965,439 shares of Common Stock outstanding on April 20, 2012 as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011 filed with the Commission on April 25, 2012 (the “Form 10-Q”)) at a price of $3.25 per share of Common Stock.  The closing of the Private Purchases resulted in Parent owning 73,094,027 shares of Common Stock, or 96.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (based upon 75,965,439 shares of Common Stock outstanding on April 20, 2012 as reported by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q).

 

On April 27, 2012, immediately after the closing of the Private Purchases, Parent contributed all of its shares of Common Stock to Stream Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“MergerSub”), pursuant to a Contribution and Exchange Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2012 (the “Parent Contribution Agreement”), by and between Parent and MergerSub, in exchange for 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of MergerSub (the “Parent Contribution”).  As a result of the Parent Contribution, (i) MergerSub acquired 73,094,027 shares of Common Stock, or 96.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (based upon 75,965,439 shares of Common Stock outstanding on April 20, 2012 as reported by the

 

12



 

Issuer in its Form 10-Q) and (ii) Parent held all of the common stock of MergerSub.  There was no cash consideration for this transaction.

 

On April 27, 2012, immediately after the closing of the Parent Contribution, MergerSub effected the Merger with and into the Issuer under Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation.  Upon consummation of the Merger, Parent became the sole stockholder of the Issuer.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, (i) each share of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock held by the Issuer as treasury stock, by MergerSub, or by stockholders of the Issuer who properly exercise statutory appraisal rights under the DGCL) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $3.25 in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding tax, upon surrender of the certificate representing such share, together with a Letter of Transmittal, (ii) each share of Common Stock held by the Issuer and MergerSub was canceled for no consideration, (iii) the outstanding shares of capital stock of MergerSub were converted into 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the surviving corporation and (iv) the Issuer became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  In addition, each unexercised option to purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Stream Global Services, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was terminated for no consideration shortly after the effective time of the Merger in accordance with the Plan.

 

To fund the Private Purchases and the aggregate merger consideration, Parent used the proceeds of loans made by the Parent Members in the following approximate amounts: (i) $8,291,810 from ACOF II, (ii) $3,093,045 from EGS Dutchco and (iii) $4,716,162 from NewBridge in exchange for Convertible Promissory Notes in such amounts executed by Parent in favor of each of the Parent Members.  Each Convertible Promissory Note matures on April 29, 2013 and bears 10% interest (compounded annually) and may be prepaid by Parent (in whole, but not in part).
