Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, each Share (other than any Shares held by the Reporting Person, Merger Sub or any wholly-owned Subsidiary (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Reporting Person or Merger Sub, in the treasury of the Company or by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, which Shares, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, were cancelled and ceased to exist with no payment being made with respect thereto, and other than any Shares constituting Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) was cancelled and ceased to exist and was converted into and represents the right to receive $29.30 per share in cash (without interest) (the “Merger Price”).  In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding and

 

2



 

 

unexpired option was cancelled and entitles the holder of each such option to the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Price over the applicable exercise price per Share, without interest thereon (the aggregate of each payment for options, together with the aggregate of each payment of the Merger Price, the “Total Merger Consideration”).  The Total Merger Consideration, based upon the total amount of Shares and outstanding and unexpired options immediately prior to the Effective Time, is expected to be up to $2.1 billion.

 

Payment of the Total Merger Consideration is being financed predominantly through a new short-term bridge loan (the “Bridge Facility”) and a new long-term amortized term loan (the “Long-Term Facility”), as well as through the Reporting Person’s existing lines of credit.

 

The Reporting Person entered into the Bridge Facility pursuant to the Bridge Facility Agreement dated October 12, 2007, filed as Exhibit 2 hereto, among Luxottica U.S. Holdings Corp. as borrower, Banc of America Securities Limited and Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, Milan Branch (part of UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking) as Arrangers, Bank of America, N.A. and Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch (part of UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking), as Underwriters and Lenders, and Banc of America Securities Limited, as Agent.   The Bridge Facility has a principal amount of $500.0 million and a term of six (6) months with an interest rate of the applicable Margin plus LIBOR plus Mandatory Cost (each as defined in the Bridge Facility Agreement).

 

The Reporting Person also entered into the Long-Term Facility pursuant to the Term Facility Agreement dated October 12, 2007, filed as Exhibit 3 hereto, among Luxottica Group S.p.A. and Luxottica U.S. Holdings Corp., as borrowers, Citibank N.A., New York / Citibank N.A., Milan Branch, Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, Milan Branch (part of UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking) / Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch (part of UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking) and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as Underwriters, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, Milan Branch (part of UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking) and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as Bookrunners, and Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch (part of UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking), as Agent.  The Long-Term Facility has an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with a five (5)-year term and options to extend its maturity on two occasions for one year in each instance.  In order to fund the Total Merger Consideration, the Reporting Person made drawdowns from the Long-Term Facility in two tranches — Tranche D, in the principal amount of $1.0 billion, and Tranche E, in the principal amount of $500.0 million.  The Long-Term Facility bears interest at an annual rate of between twenty (20) and forty (40) basis points over the LIBOR rate, depending on the Reporting Person’s ratio of debt to EBITDA.

 

The Reporting Person applied toward the remainder of the Total Merger Consideration the proceeds of a drawdown in the principal amount of $95.0 million from Tranche C of its existing €1.1 billion and $325.0 million multi-currency credit facility dated June 3, 2004 (the “Multi-Currency Credit Facility”), filed as Exhibit 4 hereto.  Tranche C of the Multi-Currency Credit Facility is a revolving credit facility of €725.0  million-equivalent multi-currency (Euro/U.S. dollar). Loans under Tranche C of the Multi-Currency Credit Facility denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at an annual rate of between twenty (20) and forty (40) basis points over the LIBOR rate, based on the Reporting Person’s “Net Debt/EBITDA” ratio, as defined in

the facility agreement, and may be repaid and reborrowed with all outstanding balances maturing in March 2012.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

On June 20, 2007, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with the Reporting Person and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the Reporting Person has acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of the Company in exchange for the Total Merger Consideration described in Item 3 of this Amendment.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Reporting Person.

 

The Company delivered to its shareholders on October 17, 2007 a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), filed as Exhibit 5 hereto, setting forth the details of the proposed Merger, providing for voting by proxy by the shareholders with respect to the Merger and the Merger Agreement and announcing the date and time of the special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to vote upon the proposal to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement.  Under Washington law, approval of the Merger required at least two-thirds of the Shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of the record date to be voted, either at the Meeting or by proxy, in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement.  At the Meeting, which occurred on November 7, 2007, the Merger and the Merger Agreement were approved, with holders of at least 57,675,646 Shares, or approximately 83% of the Company’s total Shares entitled to vote at the Meeting, voting in favor of the transaction.

 

Following the satisfaction or waiver of each condition precedent to the Merger, including, among other conditions, certain antitrust and regulatory clearances and the approval of the Merger and the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders, the closing of the Merger became effective upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington (the “Secretary of State”) on November 14, 2007.  The Shares of the Company permanently ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) at the end of the trading day on November 14, 2007.  In connection therewith, at the direction of the Company, the NYSE filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Notification of Removal from Listing on Form 25, filed as Exhibit 6 hereto.  The Company has also filed with the Commission a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15, filed as Exhibit 7 hereto.

 

Concurrently with the filing of the Articles of Merger, the Company also filed with the Secretary of State Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws for the Company (the “Governing Documents”), filed as Exhibit 8 and Exhibit 9 hereto.  The Governing Documents, which became effective from and after the Effective Time of the Merger, authorize, among other things, the Company to issue up to one thousand (1,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.  Immediately following the Merger, a stock certificate representing 1,000 Shares, which constitute all of the outstanding Shares of the Company, was issued by the Company to evidence the beneficial ownership of the Reporting

Person (these Shares are held of record by Luxottica U.S. Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person).

 

Additionally, following the Merger, the number of members on the Company’s board of directors will increase to five (5), and new directors will be elected in accordance with the Governing Documents.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)    The Reporting Person has sole beneficial ownership of one thousand (1,000) Shares, or 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company.

 

(b)    The Reporting Person has sole power to direct the vote and the disposition of one thousand (1,000) Shares of the Company, or 100% of the Shares currently issued and outstanding.
