ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Prior to February 24, 2004, FTD, Inc. was a public company listed on the Nasdaq National Market. On February 24, 2004, FTD, Inc. was acquired in a going private transaction by, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of, the Issuer.
The Going Private Transaction was financed, in part, by GEI IV and FTD Co-Investment LLC, including a $72.2 million investment in the Issuer’s 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Senior Preferred Stock”), a $72.2 million investment in the Issuer’s 12% Junior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Junior Preferred Stock”) and a $36.6 million investment in the Issuer’s Common Stock. The Issuer used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to repurchase a portion of its outstanding Senior Preferred Stock, and has stated that it intends to use the remainder of the proceeds from the IPO to repurchase the remainder of the outstanding Senior Preferred Stock and all of the outstanding Junior Preferred Stock on or about February 25, 2005. As a result of these proposed repurchases, there will no longer be any Senior Preferred Stock or Junior Preferred Stock outstanding.
On September 30, 2004, the Issuer, GEI IV, FTD Co-Investment LLC and certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, GEI IV has unlimited rights to demand that the Issuer file a registration statement covering the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by GEI IV. GEI IV also has unlimited “piggy-back” registration rights under the Stockholders Agreement. In the event the Issuer registers any of its capital stock or any other securities under the Securities Act, GEI IV may require the Issuer to include all or a portion of its registrable securities in the registration statement. At the election of GEI IV, FTD Co-Investment LLC may participate in any demand registration or “piggy-back” registration on a pro rata basis or such other basis as GEI IV shall determine, provided that FTD Co-Investment LLC shall comply with certain terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement. Certain other holders of the Issuer’s Common Stock also have “piggyback” registration rights pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.
Prior to the Issuer’s IPO, the Stockholders Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Amendment No. 1”) to provide that the “piggy-back” registration rights provided in the Stockholders Agreement shall not apply to the registration effected by the Issuer in connection with the IPO.
| CUSIP No. 30267U 10 8 | Schedule 13D | Page 14 of 16 Pages |
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders Agreement and Amendment No. 1, filed herewith as Exhibits 7.1 and 7.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
Other than the matters disclosed above in response to Items 4 and 5 and this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons is party to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
