Preliminary Note: This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of Conn’s Inc., a Delaware corporation. This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements (i) the Schedule 13D originally filed on February 6, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and (ii) Amendment No. 1 filed on February 12, 2010 with the Commission (collectively the “Prior Filings” and collectively with this Amendment No. 2 the “Statement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Prior Filings. Except as set forth below, there are no changes to the Prior Filings with respect to the reporting persons.
ITEM 4 PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Statement is supplemented by adding the following:
On October 22, 2010 the Issuer issued a press release, a copy of which was filed on such date by the Issuer with the Commission on Form 8-K, announcing that its board of directors had approved a possible rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) whereby shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 1, 2010 would receive one right for every share of Common Stock held by them as of such date. The press release stated that the Issuer expects the rights to carry a basic subscription right and an oversubscription right. As stated in the press release, certain affiliates of The Stephens Group, LLC that own approximately 25.97% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have indicated to the Issuer that it is their present intention to exercise their basic subscription rights and oversubscription rights in full, subject to their review of the final terms of the possible Rights Offering as determined by the Issuer and announced on the commencement date of the Rights Offering. Such affiliates are comprised of the following reporting persons: W.R. Stephens, Jr. Revocable Trust, Snow Lake Holdings, Inc., Jon E.M. Jacoby, and SG-1890, LLC. Except as provided in Item 4 of this Statement, the reporting persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (i) any extraordinary corporate transactions involving the Issuer, or (ii) any of the other actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5 INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Statement are amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:
(a, b) The following table discloses the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by the reporting persons and their respective directors and control persons. Because of interrelationships among the various reporting persons, certain shares of the Common Stock may be reported as being beneficially owned by more than one person.
