On
May 6, 2013,
the Board of Directors (“Board”) of BAB, Inc. authorized and declared a dividend distribution of
one
right for each outstanding share of the common stock of BAB, Inc. to stockholders of record at the close of business on
May 13, 2013.
Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company
one one
-thousandth of a share of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$0.90
per
one
-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated
May 6, 2013,
between the Company and IST Shareholder Services, as rights agent.
 
The Board adopted the Rights Agreement to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, it works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires
15%
(or
20%
in the case of certain institutional investors who report their holdings on Schedule
13G
) or more of the Common Shares without the approval of the Board. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of the Rights
may
be to render more difficult a merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination involving the Company that is
not
approved by the Board. However, neither the Rights Agreement nor the Rights should interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by the Board.
 
Full details about the Rights Plan are contained in a Form
8
-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on
May 7, 2013.
