CUSIP No. 307675108    13D    Page 21 of 29

 

accounts. The shares beneficially owned by each of the Grossman Trusts and by Jeanne Farmer Grossman were transferred to each respective Grossman Trust and to Jeanne Farmer Grossman in accordance with trust instruments to successor trustees and beneficiaries under various family trusts. Accordingly, no shares were purchased by the Grossman Trusts or Jeanne Farmer Grossman.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Following the filing of multiple petitions in the Orange County and Los Angeles County Superior Courts related to the various family trusts discussed herein that hold shares of the Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Farmer Trusts”), a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release was entered into by and among Jeanne Farmer Grossman, Carol Lynn Farmer Waite, Richard Farmer, Jonathan M. Waite, Brett Matthew Grossman, Scott Michael Grossman, and Brynn Grossman (the “Settlement Agreement”), which became effective on November 21, 2017, the date of the entry of the last of the court orders approving the Settlement Agreement.

The Settlement Agreement provides, among other things, for the following changes to be made to the Farmer Trusts, which changes are illustrated in greater detail in the tables below:

 

  1) Richard Farmer’s resignation as co-trustee from certain of the Farmer Trusts of which Jeanne Farmer Grossman or Carol Lynn Farmer Waite also served as co-trustee, upon which either Jeanne Farmer Grossman or Carol Lynn Farmer Waite became sole trustees of such trusts, as applicable;

 

  2) Carol Lynn Farmer Waite’s resignation as co-trustee from certain other Farmer Trusts of which Richard Farmer or Jeanne Farmer Grossman also served as co-trustee, upon which either Richard Farmer or Jeanne Farmer Grossman became sole trustee of such trusts, as applicable; and

 

  3) the division of the assets of certain other Farmer Trusts (collectively, the “GAP Trusts”), including the shares of Company Common Stock held by the GAP Trusts, into three separate and equal parts, the distribution of such equal parts to each of Jeanne Farmer Grossman, Richard Farmer and Carol Lynn Farmer Waite, and the subsequent dissolution of the GAP Trusts.

The shares distributed from the GAP Trusts which were allocated to Jeanne Farmer Grossman (the “GAP Shares”) were subsequently transferred to the Jeanne Grossman Living Trust.

The various share distributions and transfers resulting from the Settlement Agreement were made on various dates following the effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement, with the final distribution occurring on January 5, 2018.

As a result of the actions described above and certain sales of Company Common Stock described herein, as of April 9, 2018, Jeanne Farmer Grossman may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,564,049 shares of the Company Common Stock.

The following table describes the Grossman Trusts that are not impacted by the Settlement Agreement.
