12


 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

The shares of Common Stock were contributed to Bee Street to aggregate the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by members of the Gidwitz Family for purposes of coordinating voting and current and potential future investments in the Common Stock.  As a result of such aggregation, Bee Street beneficially owns a majority of the Common Stock.  Bee Street may acquire additional shares of Common Stock in one or more transactions in the future as approved by its board of managers.  Bee Street has no current intention to sell any shares of Common Stock.

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Bee Street owns 1,021,169 shares of Common Stock as a result of contribution to Bee Street of such shares by its limited liability company members.  Each of the other reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by Bee Street except, in the case of James G. Gidwitz, Nancy Gidwitz, Ralph W. Gidwitz, Steven B. Gidwitz and Scott Gidwitz, to the extent of such reporting persons authority as a member of the board of managers of Bee Street, which authority and such reporting persons capacity as a member of the board of managers is subject to the terms and provisions of the limited liability company agreement of Bee Street, as it may be amended from time to time.  The board of managers of Bee Street has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock which Bee Street owns.  The members of the board of managers of Bee Street are James G. Gidwitz, Nancy Gidwitz, Ralph W. Gidwitz, Steven B. Gidwitz and Scott Gidwitz, none of whom has any individual voting power or dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by Bee Street.  Except for the members of the board of managers of Bee Street, no person has any voting power or dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock which are beneficially owned by Bee Street.

 

In addition to the shares of Common Stock owned by Bee Street, as to which James G. Gidwitz has shared voting power and dispositive power as a member of the board of managers of Bee Street, James G. Gidwitz also individually beneficially owns 33,140 shares of Common Stock which are held in a retirement account and with respect to which he has sole voting power and sole dispositive power.

 

CMC Partnership and GFAM CMC Partnership contributed all the shares of Common Stock which they previously owned to Bee Street in exchange for limited liability company membership interests of Bee Street.  Neither CMC Partnership nor GFAM CMC Partnership have any current voting power or dispositive power over any shares of Common Stock; however, CMC Partnership owns sufficient limited liability company membership interests of Bee Street that CMC Partnership could remove and replace one or more members of the board of managers of Bee Street, or add additional members to the board of managers of Bee Street.  CMC Partnership has no current intention to effect such a change in the composition of the board of managers of Bee Street.  GFAM Partnership does not, by itself, own sufficient limited liability company membership interests of Bee Street in order to effect such a change in the composition of the board of Managers of Bee Street.  The managing partners of both CMC Partnership and GFAM Partnership are James G. Gidwitz, Nancy Gidwitz, Ralph W. Gidwitz, Thomas R. Gidwitz and Betsy R. Gidwitz.

 

This statement shall not be construed as an admission by any of CMC Partnership, GFAM Partnership, James G. Gidwitz, Nancy Gidwitz, Ralph W. Gidwitz, Steven B. Gidwitz, Scott Gidwitz, Thomas R. Gidwitz or Betsy R. Gidwitz that it, he or she is a beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock which are reported herein as beneficially owned by Bee Street.
