INTRODUCTION

 

     This Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Schedule 13E-3” or “Transaction Statement”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person” and, collectively, the “Filing Persons”): Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, Harland C. Stonecipher, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Randy Harp, Co-Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Steve Williamson, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

 

     On January 30, 2011, the Company, MidOcean PPL Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and PPL Acquisition Corp., an Oklahoma corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, the Company is filing with the SEC an amended preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which the shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The adoption of the Merger Agreement will require the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the special meeting. A copy of the preliminary Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(xxi) and a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the preliminary Proxy Statement.

 

     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares owned by (i) the Company or any of the Company’s direct or indirect subsidiaries, (ii) Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or (iii) shareholders who have not voted in favor of the merger and who have otherwise satisfied all of the requirements of applicable law to have appraisal rights under Section 1091 of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act , as modified in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, dated April 15, 2011, entered into in connection with the litigation pending in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma) , will be converted into the right to receive $66.50 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining approval of the shareholders of the Company.

 

     Neither Parent nor any investment funds affiliated with MidOcean Partners, which owns Parent, is affiliated with the Company or any of its directors or officers, no director, officer or other affiliate of the Company is participating in the acquisition with MidOcean Partners, and the Merger Agreement was negotiated on an arms-length basis by the special committee of the Board of Directors. However, in light of the fact that the Company repurchased a significant number of shares of its common stock over many years, taking into account that members of management periodically described the share repurchases as the Company going private one share at a time, the Company is filing this Schedule 13E-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

     The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement and the annexes thereto. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion or amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule 13E-3 shall have the meanings given to them in the Proxy Statement.
