Additional Information |
Item 8: Additional Information is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof.
Offer Expiration
The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight New York City time, on Tuesday, February 12, 2008.
As of the expiration of the Offer, approximately 15.8 million Shares were validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn, representing approximately 70.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company. When added to Sun Capital' s existing 11.4% Shares, this represents approximately 81.9% of the Companys total outstanding Shares. Additional Shares were guaranteed to be delivered within the next three business days which, if added to the tendered Shares and Sun Capital's existing Shares, would represent in excess of 90.0% of Kellwood' s total outstanding Shares.
All Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer have been accepted for purchase by Purchaser, and Purchaser expects to promptly pay for all such Shares.
Subsequent Offer Period
On February 13, 2008, Sun Capital announced that Purchaser commenced a subsequent offering period for all of the remaining untendered Shares that will expire at 12:00 midnight New York City time on Friday, February 15, 2008. During this subsequent offer period, Company stockholders who did not previously tender their Shares into the Offer may do so and will promptly receive $21.00 per share cash consideration, as was paid during the initial offering period. Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn.
Departure of Directors
In connection with the Offer and the Merger Agreement, each of Ben B. Blount, Jr., Kitty G. Dickerson, Ph.D., Jerry M. Hunter, Phillip B. Miller and Robert Siegel the Resigning Directors ) resigned from their respective positions as members of the Companys Board of Directors effective on February 13, 2008. Their resignations were contingent upon (i) the satisfaction of the Majority Condition and the making of or irrevocably providing for payment for such Shares, and (ii) the acceptance of the resignation by the Companys Board of Directors. On February 13, 2008, after the Board determined that the Majority Condition had been met and the irrevocable provision for payment of such shares had been made, the Companys Board of Directors accepted the resignations from the Resigning Directors.
