This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2003, Amendment No. 2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2004 and Amendment No. 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 22, 2004 (as amended, the “Schedule TO”), by Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Parker”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Parker to purchase all of the Ordinary Shares, $0.01 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) outstanding at any time during the Offer (as defined herein), including those Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares each representing one Ordinary Share, of Denison International plc (“Denison”) at a purchase price of $24.00 per Ordinary Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer To Purchase, dated December 19, 2003 (the “Offer To Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Form of Acceptance (as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”), a copy of each of which was filed with the Schedule TO on December 19, 2003 as Exhibits (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B) and (a)(1)(C), respectively. In addition, Parker is offering to purchase all of the outstanding A Ordinary Shares, £8.00 par value per share, of Denison, which class of securities is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, at a purchase price of $24.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule TO is being filed on behalf of Parker.
Items 1, 4 and 11 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference to the information contained in the Offer To Purchase, are amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following:
“The offer period of the Offer, which was scheduled to expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, February 5, 2004, has been extended to 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, February 12, 2004 unless the Offer is further extended or earlier terminated. Parker is extending the Offer because all of the conditions to the Offer, including obtaining a required regulatory approval in Austria, were not satisfied or waived before the expiration of the offer period. Parker expects to obtain this regulatory approval within the next ten business days. If all of the conditions to the Offer, including obtaining the required regulatory approval, are not satisfied or waived on or before the new expiration date, Parker expects to extend the Offer for additional periods as necessary until such conditions are satisfied or waived.
On February 5, 2004, Parker issued a press release which announced the extension of the offer period and set forth the number of Shares that had been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 4, 2004. A copy of the press release issued by Parker on February 5, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(D) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
| Item 11. | Additional Information. |
Item 11 of the Schedule TO is also amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following:
“On February 2, 2004, Parker received from the Finnish Competition Authority clearance under the Act on Restrictions on Competition (480/92) with respect to the Offer.
On February 3, 2004, Parker received a notice from the German Federal Cartel Office stating that the Offer would not be prohibited pursuant to the German merger control rules (GWB Section 36).”
| Item 12. | Exhibits. |
Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following:
