Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

 

The information previously furnished in response to this Item 4 is amended to add the following:

 

On September 28, 2009, TAC completed the settlement of a forward sale contract (the “Contract”) that was entered into on November 1, 2007 with Bear, Stearns & Co. (the “Purchaser”) that relates to an aggregate of 327,875 shares of Common

 

6



 

Stock of the Company by delivery to the Purchaser of 327,875 shares of Common Stock. Absent a timely election to settle in cash, the Contract provided that TAC would deliver to the Purchaser on each of three days (each such day is referred to herein as a “Settlement Date”) a number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the applicable Base Amount (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) the applicable Exchange Rate, which will be determined as follows:

 

(a) If the closing price per share (the “Settlement Price”) of the common stock on the relevant Valuation Date is less than or equal to $42.7719 (the “Forward Floor Price”), the Exchange Rate will be one; (b) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Floor Price but less than or equal to $51.3263 (the “Forward Cap Price”), the Exchange Rate will be equal to the Forward Floor Price divided by the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Cap Price, the Exchange Rate will be equal to the Adjusted Forward Floor Price (as hereinafter defined) divided by the Settlement Price. The Adjusted Forward Floor Price will be equal to the Forward Floor Price plus the Settlement Price minus the Forward Cap Price.

 

In consideration for entering into the Contract, TAC received an aggregate prepayment amount of approximately $12,500,000.  In the event of the payment of dividends (whether cash or in-kind), stock splits, reverse stock splits, spinoffs, mergers or similar events affecting the common stock, the Base Amounts and one or more of the Settlement Price, Forward Floor Price and Forward Cap Price were subject to adjustment depending on the nature of the transaction.

 

TAC pledged 327,875 shares of common stock (the “Pledged Shares”) to secure its obligations under the Contract.  On September 21, 22 and 23, 2009 (the “Valuation Dates”), the Settlement Prices were $18.32, $18.91 and $19.51, respectively.  TAC transferred to the Purchaser 327,875 of the Pledged Shares by the applicable Settlement Date, the last of which was September 28, 2009.

The day that falls one Settlement Cycle following the relevant Valuation Date (or, if such date is not a Clearance System Business Day, the next following Clearance System Business Day)

 

 

 

Settlement Method Election:

 

Applicable (subject to the obligation of the Seller to post cash Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Provisions below).

 

3



 

Electing Party:

 

Seller

 

 

 

Settlement Method Election Date:

 

In respect of any particular Valuation Date, the fifth Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Valuation Date.

Dividends:

 

 

 

 

 

Extraordinary Dividend:

 

The portion of any dividend in excess of USD 0.50 per Share per fiscal quarter.

 

 

 

 

 

In the event that the Issuer’s dividend policy results in declaration of dividends on an other-than-quarterly basis, the Calculation Agent shall adjust this provision accordingly.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the adjustment otherwise required by “Adjustment for Dividends” below would result in a Forward Cap Price of below USD 49.1877 (the “Forward Cap Floor”), then whatever portion of such dividend as is necessary to preserve Forward Cap Price at the Forward Cap Floor shall be treated as an Extraordinary Dividend.

 

4



 

 

 

To the extent that any such Extraordinary Dividend is paid, the Extraordinary Dividend will be deposited in the Custodial Account (as defined below) and the amount of any such Extraordinary Dividend shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of such Extraordinary Dividend, multiplied by (ii) the actual number of days from and including the date such Extraordinary Dividend is paid to and excluding the relevant Valuation Date over 360, multiplied by (iii) the then-current cost for Bear Stearns to fund itself for a period equal to the period from and including the date that such Extraordinary Dividend is paid to and excluding the relevant Valuation Date (as determined by the Calculation Agent).

 

 

 

Excess Dividend Amount:

 

Ex Amount for the relevant Number of Shares

 

 

 

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, this will result in a payment of an amount equal to the aggregate Extraordinary Dividends for the relevant Number of Shares on the relevant Settlement Date.

 

 

 

Dividend Period:

 

The period from but excluding the Trade Date to and including the Valuation Date.

 

 

 

Non-Cash Dividends

 

In the case of any Potential Adjustment Event that is a non-cash dividend or distribution, on the date of the first public announcement by the Issuer of such non-cash dividend or distribution, Bear Stearns and the Counterparty shall endeavor to agree to appropriate adjustments with respect to this Transaction to variables relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment terms; provided however, that if the parties hereto have not reached agreement as to appropriate adjustments by the third Business Day following the date of the first public announcement of such non-cash distribution or dividend, the Calculation Agent shall determine the adjustments to be made to this Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Confirmation.

 

5



 

Share Adjustments:

 

 

 

 

 

Method of Adjustments:

 

Calculation Agent Adjustment; provided, however, that adjustments may be made to account for changes in volatility, stock loan rate and liquidity relative to the relevant Share but only in respect of Potential Adjustment Events of the types described in Sections 11.2(e)(ii)(A), 11.2(e)(ii)(B) and 11.2(e)(iii) of the 2002 Definitions and events of the types described in Sections 11.2(e)(vi) and 11.2(e)(vii) to the extent analogous to the foregoing. Adjustments in respect of events under Section 11.2(e)(iii) shall be in addition to the provisions hereof relating to Excess Dividend Amount.

 

The Forward Cap Floor shall be subject to adjustment hereunder for Potential Adjustment Events other than dividends.

 

 

 

Adjustment for Dividends:

 

If the ex date for any dividend (or any portion of a dividend) not included in the Excess Dividend Amount occurs during the terms of this Transaction, then the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the Forward Cap Price as may be necessary, taking account of the value of the dividend excluded from the Excess Dividend Amount, as well as volatility, stock loan rate and liquidity relative to the relevant Share, to preserve the economic value of the Transaction equivalent to that it would have had but for the declaration and payment of the excluded dividend (or portion thereof), but subject to the limitations relating to the Forward Cap Floor set out in “Extraordinary Dividend” above. If the Forward Cap Price is adjusted pursuant to the prior sentence, the dividend related to such adjustment shall not be transferred to the Buyer.

 

 

 

Consequences for Merger Events:

 

 

 

Share-for-Share:

 

Calculation Agent Adjustment

 

6



 

Share-for-Other:

 

Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) for cash consideration and Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment for any portion of the consideration consisting neither of cash nor of New Shares (as defined in Section 12.1(i) of the 2002 Definitions)

 

In the event that any portion of the consideration for a Merger Event is consideration consisting neither of cash nor of New Shares, Bear Stearns and the Counterparty will act jointly as Calculation Agent in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner. If the joint Calculation Agents do not reach an agreement each party will immediately select an independent dealer in the market and those two dealers will select a third dealer and upon determination by that third dealer of the proper adjustment, that adjustment will prevail absent bad faith or manifest error.

Determining Party:

(e)           For any given Settlement Date, Counterparty may deliver Shares in addition to the Shares then posted as Collateral and instruct that such newly-delivered Shares be used to settle its obligations to deliver and the original Shares held as Collateral be returned to it after completion of its settlement obligations.
