This Amendment No. 4 (this “ Amendment ”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by DVB Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Purchaser ”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tyson Foods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Parent ”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2017 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “ Schedule TO ”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“ Shares ”), of AdvancePierre Foods Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ AdvancePierre ”), for $40.25 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, but subject to any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated May 9, 2017 (the “ Offer to Purchase ”), a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “ Letter of Transmittal ”), a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “ Offer .”
All information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, including all schedules thereto, is hereby incorporated herein by reference in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 in the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings given to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 1 through 9, 11 and 12 as reflected below.
Items 1 through 9; Item 11.
Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Tuesday, June 6, 2017. The Depositary for the Offer has indicated that a total of 68,648,055 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as of the Expiration Date, representing approximately 87.27% of the outstanding Shares. In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered for 1,890,809 Shares, representing approximately 2.40% of the outstanding Shares. The number of Shares tendered (excluding Shares presented pursuant to Notices of Guaranteed Delivery for which certificates were not yet delivered) satisfies the Minimum Condition, and all Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer have been accepted for payment by Purchaser.
Parent expects to complete its acquisition of AdvancePierre through the Merger as promptly as practicable without a meeting of stockholders of AdvancePierre in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with AdvancePierre surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $40.25 per Share in cash, without interest but subject to any required withholding of taxes (which is the same amount per Share paid in the Offer) other than (i) treasury Shares held by AdvancePierre and any Shares owned by Parent or Purchaser or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or AdvancePierre, which Shares will be canceled, and (ii) Shares held by any person who was entitled to and has properly demanded statutory appraisal of his or her Shares. Instructions outlining the steps to be taken to obtain the Merger Consideration will be mailed to AdvancePierre stockholders who did not tender their Shares in the Offer.
