$41,225,242 $4,543.02

 

*Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only.

The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by AlerisLife Inc. as of February 16, 2023.

 

**The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2023, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.00011020.

This Amendment No. 2 is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by ABP Acquisition 2 LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Purchaser”), ABP Acquisition LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Parent”), ABP Trust, a Maryland statutory trust (“ABP Trust”), and Adam D. Portnoy, an individual, and amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, filed by Parent and Purchaser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2023 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Shares”), of AlerisLife Inc., a Maryland corporation (“ALR”) (other than Shares held by Parent, Purchaser, any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or any person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests of Purchaser), at a price of $1.31 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated February 17, 2023 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto and with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), copies of which are incorporated by reference to Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of the Schedule TO respectively.

See Section 17—“Certain Information Concerning the Purchaser Group.”

6.The caption and information set forth in the section entitled “2. Position of Parent Regarding Fairness of the Transaction” on page 14 of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated as follows:

 

2.Position of Parent and Mr. Portnoy Regarding the Fairness of the Transaction.

 

“Under the rules of the SEC governing “going-private” transactions, Parent and Mr. Portnoy may be deemed to be an affiliate of ALR and therefore, be required to express their belief to security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR as to the fairness of the transaction. We believe that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger, and the Offer Price to be received by security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, are fair to such security holders.

 

Parent and Mr. Portnoy believe that the price to be paid in the Offer is fair to security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR. Parent and Mr. Portnoy base their belief on the following factors, each of which, in our judgment, supports our view as to the fairness of the transaction and are not listed in any relative order of importance:

 

·The Special Committee (as defined below) determined the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, to be advisable and in the best interest of ALR and its stockholders (other than Parent and its affiliates).

 

·In connection with making the foregoing determinations, the Special Committee was advised by its own advisors, including Ropes & Gray LLP, its independent legal counsel, and Citi, its independent financial advisor.

 

·The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately:

 

o61.7% to the closing price of the Shares on February 2, 2023, the last trading day prior to the date of the announcement of the transaction; and

 

o85% to the trailing 30-trading-day volume weighted average price of Shares through February 2, 2023, the last trading day prior to the date of the announcement of the transaction.

 

·Neither the Offer nor the Merger is subject to any financing condition, thus increasing the likelihood that the Offer and the Merger will be consummated and the Offer Price or merger consideration, as applicable, will be paid to the security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR.

 

·The Offer provides ALR’s security holders with the certainty of receiving cash for their Shares and removes the risk of any decrease in the value of ALR.

 

·The Offer provides ALR’s security holders with an opportunity to receive liquidity for their Shares at a significant premium, notwithstanding ALR’s small public float, limited trading volume and Nasdaq’s potential delisting of ALR’s Shares as disclosed by ALR on November 10, 2022.

 

 

 

·There are potential risks to ALR of continuing to have publicly traded common stock, including the risks of market volatility and global economic uncertainty.

 

·Parent’s and Mr. Portnoy’s view that there are no unusual requirements or conditions to the Offer or Merger.

 

In addition, Parent and Mr. Portnoy believe that the Offer and Merger are procedurally fair to security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR, based on the following factors, which are not listed in any relative order of importance:

 

·The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were negotiated at arms-length and unanimously approved by the Special Committee, which was comprised of solely independent directors of ALR that have no financial interest in the Merger that is different from that of the security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR other than (a) such independent directors’ receipt of cash compensation for their service on the ALR Board in the ordinary course (which is not contingent on the completion of the Merger or the Special Committee’s or the ALR Board’s recommendation and/or authorization and approval of the Merger), (b) their indemnification and liability insurance rights and rights to advancement of fees under their respective indemnification agreements entered into with ALR and (c) their right to receive cash consideration after the completion of the Merger with respect to the Shares that had been granted to them, if any, under ALR’s equity compensation plan for their service on the ALR Board. The Special Committee could objectively and independently assess the potential transaction and was fully informed about the extent to which the interests of Parent differed from those of the security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR.

 

·Each of such security holders will be able to decide voluntarily whether or not to tender Shares in the Offer.

 

·Such security holders will have sufficient time to make a decision whether or not to tender since the Offer will remain open for a minimum of 20 business days.

 

·The Offer Price resulted from active negotiations between the Special Committee and Parent, which resulted in the Special Committee negotiating, among other things, to increase Parent’s initial bid of $0.95 per Share to $1.31 per Share, a 37.9% increase.

 

·The Merger Agreement provides ALR with the right to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including in order to accept a Superior Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

 

·The Special Committee negotiated to eliminate any termination fee that would have been payable by ALR in certain customary circumstances, including in connection with accepting a Superior Offer and instead limited ALR’s obligation in such circumstances to reimbursement of the reasonable and documented expenses of Parent and its affiliates in connection with the Merger Agreement subject to a cap of $750,000.

 

·The fact that (i) Parent sought the ALR Board’s permission in accordance with the Standstill Agreement (as defined below) to submit a proposal and (ii) since the outset of discussions of a potential transaction with ALR, Parent has conditioned any such transaction on approval by the Special Committee.

 

·The fact that the Special Committee had no obligation to recommend any transaction, including a transaction with Parent, and that the Special Committee had the authority to reject any proposals made by Parent or any other person.

 

·Notwithstanding that the opinion of Citi was provided solely for the benefit of the Special Committee and that Parent is not entitled to, nor did it, rely on such opinion, the fact that the Special Committee received an opinion of Citi, dated February 2, 2023, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken as set forth therein, the $1.31 per Share cash consideration to be received by the holders of Shares (other than Parent, Purchaser, the DHC Parties (as defined below) and their respective affiliates) in the Offer and the Merger, taken together as an integrated transaction, was fair, from a financial point of view to such holders.

 

 

 

·In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated, the DHC Consent and Amendment Agreement will automatically terminate, permitting the DHC Parties to vote in favor of, or otherwise tender their Shares in connection with any other proposed transaction with a third party.

 

Parent and Mr. Portnoy considered that in accordance with Maryland law, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to approval by a majority of the security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR, nor is such a “majority of the minority” approval the prevailing market practice for going private transactions involving Maryland companies. Nevertheless, Parent and Mr. Portnoy believe the Offer and the Merger are procedurally fair to the security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR because of the various safeguards and protective terms, as summarized above, that have been adopted to ensure the procedural fairness of the Offer and the Merger.

 

Parent and Mr. Portnoy also considered the following factors, each of which Parent and Mr. Portnoy considered negative in its considerations concerning the fairness of the terms of the transaction and are not listed in any relative order of importance:

 

·Any security holder that tenders all its Shares in the Offer or has its Shares converted into cash in a subsequent Merger would cease to participate in the future earnings or growth, if any, of ALR or benefit from increases, if any, in the value of ALR.

 

·The sale of Shares in the Offer is generally taxable to the selling security holders.

 

·Certain directors and officers of ALR may be considered to have interests in the Transactions (including the Offer and the Merger) that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. See Section 4—“Interests of Certain Persons in the Offer,” Section 5 —“Transactions and Arrangements Concerning the Shares” and Schedule A.

 

Parent and Mr. Portnoy did not find it practicable to assign, nor did it assign, relative weights to the individual factors considered in reaching its conclusion as to fairness. Parent and Mr. Portnoy have not performed, or engaged a financial advisor to perform, any valuation or other analysis for the purpose of assessing the fairness of the Offer and Merger to the security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR. Neither Parent nor any affiliate of Parent has received any report, opinion or appraisal from any outside party materially related to the Offer or Merger, including any report, opinion or appraisal relating to the fairness of the Offer Price to the security holders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR.

 

In reaching its conclusion as to fairness, Parent and Mr. Portnoy did not consider the historical market prices, purchase prices paid in previous purchases of Shares, liquidation value or net book value of ALR. Neither the historical market prices nor the purchase prices paid in previous purchases of the Shares in the past two years (no member of the Purchaser Group made any such purchases during such period) were considered because Parent and Mr. Portnoy do not believe that the historical trading prices or previous purchase prices of the Shares provide an appropriately reliable indication of the current value of the Company and therefore are not relevant factors to a determination of fairness because of recent challenges faced by ALR’s business, including (i) the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting market disruptions on the senior living industry, (ii) the current U.S. economic conditions, including inflation, supply chain issues and a tight labor market, and (iii) ALR’s receipt of a delisting notice from Nasdaq. Parent and Mr. Portnoy implicitly considered the value of ALR in a sale as a going concern by taking into account the Company’s current and anticipated business, financial conditions, results and operations, prospects and other forward-looking matters. Parent and Mr. Portnoy did not, however, explicitly calculate a stand-alone going concern value of ALR. The liquidation value was not considered because ALR is a viable going concern and Parent has no plans to liquidate ALR. Therefore, Parent and Mr. Portnoy believe that the liquidation value of ALR is irrelevant to a determination as to whether the Offer is fair to unaffiliated stockholders. Further, Parent and Mr. Portnoy did not consider net book value, which is an accounting concept, as a factor because it believes that net book value is not a material indicator of the value of ALR as a going concern but rather is indicative of historical costs. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Offer to Purchase, and other than the contacts between ALR and “Party A” as described in the Schedule 14D-9 under the heading “Background of the Offer and the Merger,” Parent and Mr. Portnoy are not aware of any firm offers made by a third party to acquire ALR during the past two years and in any event has no intention of selling the Shares it owns. Parent and Mr. Portnoy did not consider third-party offers in reaching its conclusion as to fairness.

 

 

 

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by Parent and Mr. Portnoy is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the factors considered by Parent and Mr. Portnoy that it believes to be material. Parent believes these factors provide a reasonable basis upon which to form its belief that the Offer and the Merger is fair to the stockholders of ALR who are unaffiliated with ALR. Parent’s view as to the fairness of the transaction to stockholders of ALR that are unaffiliated with Parent should not be construed as a recommendation to any stockholder as to whether that stockholder should tender in the Offer.”

  

7.The information set forth in the section entitled “3. Purpose of the Offer and Plans for ALR” on page 16 of the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented by replacing the second sentence of paragraph beginning with “Effects of the Offer.” with the following sentences:

 

“If a merger is consummated, Parent’s indirect interest in such items would increase to 100% and Mr. Portnoy, as president, sole trustee and controlling shareholder of ABP Trust, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of 100% of these Shares, but Mr. Portnoy disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein (in each case, approximately $154.3 million in net book value, based on ALR’s net book value attributable to its shareholders as of September 30, 2022, and approximately $27 million in net losses, based on ALR’s net earnings attributable to its shareholders for the nine months ending September 30, 2022). Further, the Purchaser Group would be entitled to all benefits resulting from that interest, including all income generated by ALR’s operations and any future increase in ALR’s value.”

 

8.The information set forth in the section entitled “5. Transactions and Agreements Concerning the Shares” on page 18 of the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented by replacing the first paragraph as follows:

 

“None of the Purchaser Group or, to the Purchaser Group’s knowledge, the persons listed in Schedule A to this Offer to Purchase or any associate or majority owned subsidiary of the Purchaser Group or of any of the persons so listed, beneficially owns or has a right to acquire any Shares or any other equity securities of ALR. Except as set forth elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase or Schedule A to this Offer to Purchase: (i) none of the Purchaser Group or, to the Purchaser Group’s knowledge, the persons or entities referred to in the previous sentence has effected any transaction in the Shares or any other equity securities of ALR during the past 60 days; (ii) none of the Purchaser Group or, to the Purchaser Group’s knowledge, the persons listed in Schedule A to this Offer to Purchase, has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person with respect to any securities of ALR (including, but not limited to, any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship concerning the transfer or the voting of any such securities, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of loans, guaranties against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies, consents or authorizations); (iii) during the two years before the date of this Offer to Purchase, there have been no transactions between the Purchaser Group, their respective subsidiaries or, to the Purchaser Group’s knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule A to this Offer to Purchase, on the one hand, and ALR or any of its executive officers, directors or affiliates, on the other hand, that would require reporting under SEC rules and regulations; (iv) during the two years before the date of this Offer to Purchase, there have been no contacts, negotiations or transactions between the Purchaser Group, their respective subsidiaries or, to the Purchaser Group’s knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule A to this Offer to Purchase, on the one hand, and ALR or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, on the other hand, concerning a merger, consolidation or acquisition, a tender offer or other acquisition of securities, an election of directors or a sale or other transfer of a material amount of assets; (v) none of the Purchaser Group or, to the Purchaser Group’s knowledge, the persons listed in Schedule A to this Offer to Purchase, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding during the past five years (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (vi) none of the persons listed on Schedule A of this Offer to Purchase has made a recommendation either in support of or opposed to the Offer or the Merger and (vii) none of the Purchaser Group or, to the Purchaser Group’s knowledge, the persons listed in Schedule A to this Offer to Purchase, has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining that person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws.”
