PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on May 30, 2012. The Company held its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on September 27, 2012. At the Annual Meeting the Merger Agreement was adopted by holders of a majority of outstanding shares of common stock and was also adopted by the holders of a majority of the unaffiliated shareholders as reported by the Company in its Form 8-K as filed with the Commission on October 2, 2012.

 

Since the Annual Meeting Date, Glendon has not closed the Merger. On October 2, 2012, October 4, 2012, October 11, 2012, and October 16, 2012 the Company announced that it was granting Glendon extensions to close the Merger. On November 6, 2012, the Company filed an action entitled Bidz.com, Inc. v. Glendon Group, Inc. et al in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The suit requests specific performance against the defendants to close the Merger. Please see Forms 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on October 2, 2012, October 4, 2012, October 11, 2012, October 16, 2012 and November 7, 2012, each of which is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

In order to seek to close the Merger, in or about early November, 2012, Parent and Mr. Zinberg approached  Mr. Sam [Saied] Aframian with a request that he agree to contribute the shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by him to Glendon Group, which would result in Glendon Group increasing its ownership share and would reduce the amount of cash necessary for Glendon Group to fund to complete the Merger.  Mr. Aframian, Parent, Mr. Zinberg and Ms. Zinberg, have entered into an  Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement as of November 21, 2012 (the “Amended Contribution Agreement”). By this agreement  Mr. Aframian agreed to  contribute 1,553,399 shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by him in exchange for shares of common stock of Parent.

 

The total shares subject to the Amended Contribution Agreement represent in the aggregate about 45.449% of Common Stock outstanding, based on 18,299,992 shares of common stock outstanding as reported by the Company in its Form 10-Q filed on November 9, 2012. These agreements terminate upon any termination of the Merger Agreement and in certain other circumstances as set forth in the Amended Contribution Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 5 to this Amendment No. 1. The Company is not a signatory to the Contribution Agreement or to the Amended Contribution Agreement.

Item 3.         Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Please see disclosures contained above under “Preliminary Statement and Explanatory Note” and those set forth below in Item 4 with respect to all Reporting Persons.

 

Item 4.         Purpose of Transaction.

 

As described and set forth above in “Preliminary Statement and Explanatory Note, the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Glendon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Bidz Acquisition Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”). The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in such merger as, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), and that each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other subsidiary of Parent or the Company and shares owned by stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights under Delaware law) will automatically be canceled and converted in the Merger into the right to receive $0.78 per share in cash, without interest. The Merger Agreement and the Merger are described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 18, 2012. Since the Annual Meeting Date, Parent has not closed the Merger. On October 2, 2012, October 4, 2012, October 11, 2012, and October 16, 2012 the Company announced that it was granting Parent extensions to close the Merger. On November 6, 2012, the Company filed an action entitled Bidz.com, Inc. v. Glendon Group, Inc. et al in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The suit requests specific performance against the defendants to close the Merger. Please see Forms 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on October 2, 2012, October 4, 2012, October 11, 2012, October 16, 2012 and November 7, 2012, each of which is incorporated herein by the reference.

 

In connection with the Merger Agreement, David Zinberg and Marina Zinberg entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Parent pursuant to which they agreed to contribute, in the aggregate, approximately 6,763,738   shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by them in exchange for equity interests in Parent in lieu of receiving the cash merger consideration for such shares, which has been amended and restated as described above. In order to seek to close the Merger, in or about early November 2012, Parent and Mr. Zinberg requested that  Mr. Sam [Saied] Aframian, agree to contribute the shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by him to Glendon Group, which would result in Glendon Group increasing its ownership share and would reduce the amount of cash necessary for Glendon Group to fund to complete the Merger.  Mr. Aframian, Parent, Mr. Zinberg and Ms. Zinberg, have entered into an  Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement as of November 21, 2012 (the “Amended Contribution Agreement”). By this agreement  Mr. Aframian agreed to  contribute 1,553,399 shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by him in exchange for shares of common stock of Parent. The total shares subject to the Amended Contribution Agreement represent in the aggregate about 45.449% of Common Stock of the Company based on 18,299,992 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Company in its Form 10-Q filed on November 9, 2012. The Amended Contribution Agreement automatically terminates upon the termination of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of certain other events. Accordingly, these Reporting Persons are deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

After the completion of the Merger, the Company will cease to be a publicly held company.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Amended Contribution Agreement  are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which were or are being filed as Exhibits to this Statement and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.         Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) Collectively, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 8,317,134 shares of Common Stock representing 45.449%% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 18,299,992 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed  November 9, 2012), comprised as follows:

 

(i)  Glendon directly owns of record 500,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 2.73% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(ii)   Mr. Zinberg directly owns of record 2,898,134 shares of Common Stock, representing 15.837% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(iv)  Saied Aframian directly owns 1,553,396 shares of Common Stock, representing 8.489% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Weston disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock that are or may be owned directly by other Reporting Persons and further disclaims that it is part of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

No Reporting Person has effected any transactions in the Company’s Common Stock in the last sixty (60) days.

4. Severability.

5. Complete Agreement. This Amended and Restated Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Amended and Restated Agreement.

difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or relating to this Amended and Restated Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Amended and Restated Agreement.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Amended and Restated Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Amended and Restated Agreement.

 

11. Amendments and Waivers.
