This Schedule 13D/A Amendment No. 18 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed previously by Hallmark Cards, Incorporated, H.A., LLC (formerly H.A., Inc.), HMK Holdings, Inc., H C Crown, LLC (formerly H C Crown Corp.), Hallmark Cards GmbH, and Blue Holding Company, LLC, jointly with respect to the securities of the Issuer (the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

As a result of the Share Contribution (as defined in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D/A), Hallmark Cards GmbH and Blue Holding Company are no longer beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer, as that term is defined in 17 CFR § 240.13d-5. Therefore, neither Hallmark Cards GmbH nor Blue Holding Company, LLC, are Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D/A.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, as it has been amended from time to time, is hereby further amended and restated by deleting the entirety of the text therof and replacing it with the following:

(a) - (c) and (f): This Schedule 13D/A is being filed by Hallmark Cards, Incorporated (Hallmark Cards), a Missouri corporation, H.A., LLC (HALLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards (formerly H.A., Inc., a Delaware corporation), HMK Holdings, Inc. (HMK), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of HALLC, H C Crown, LLC (HCC), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMK (formerly H C Crown Corp., a Delaware corporation), and CM Merger Co. (Merger Sub and, together with Hallmark Cards, HALLC, HMK, and HCC, the Reporting Persons), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of HCC. Each of the Reporting Persons has its principal executive office at 2501 McGee, Kansas City, Missouri 64108. Hallmark Cards principal business is the manufacture and distribution of personal expression products. HALLCs principal business is holding shares of HMK Holdings, Inc. and debt securities and other investments in other entities. HMKs principal business is holding shares of HCC and debt securities and other investments in other entities. HCCs principal business is holding shares of the Merger Sub and debt securities and other investments in other entities. Merger Subs principal business is holding shares of the Issuer. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and citizenship of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Schedule I hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) and (e): During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule I hereto, (1) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On April 6, 2016, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2016 (the Purchase Agreement), by and between Hallmark Cards and Hallmark Cards GmbH (HC Germany), a German company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, HC Germany sold 40,000,000 shares (the Repatriated Shares) of the Issuers Class A Common Stock (the Common Stock) in exchange for a promissory note issued by Hallmark Cards to HC Germany. Immediately thereafter, Hallmark Cards contributed the Repatriated Shares to HALLC pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2016 (the Hallmark Cards-HALLC Contribution Agreement), by and between Hallmark Cards and HALLC. Immediately thereafter, HALLC contributed the Repatriated Shares to HMK pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2016 (the HALLC-HMK Contribution Agreement), by and between HALLC and HMK. Immediately thereafter, HMK contributed the Repatriated Shares to HCC pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2016 (the HMK-HCC Contribution Agreement), by and between HMK and HCC. Immediately thereafter, HCC contributed the Repatriated Shares, as well as the 284,855,516 shares of Common Stock already held by HCC (together with the Repatriated Shares, the Reaggregated Shares), to Merger Sub pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2016 (the HCC-Merger Sub Contribution Agreement and, together with the Purchase Agreement, the Hallmark Cards-HALLC Contribution Agreement, the HALLC-HMK Contribution Agreement, and the HMK-HCC Contribution Agreement, the Transfer Documents), by and between HCC and Merger Sub.

As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transfer Documents (the Share Contribution) Merger Sub is the direct owner of the Reaggregated Shares.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following to the end thereof:

Short Form Merger

As already stated, on March 8, 2016, Hallmark Cards delivered a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer setting forth the intention of Hallmark to acquire all of the shares of the Issuers Common Stock not owned by Hallmark and its affiliates at a price of $5.05 per share pursuant to a short-form merger under Delaware law (the Short Form Merger). As a result of the Share Contribution, Merger Sub owns 90.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer and, pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporate Law, is entitled to effect the Short Form Merger without the approval of or action by the board of directors of the Issuer or the Issuers other stockholders.

 

- 7 -


Pursuant to the planned Short Form Merger, Merger Sub will merge with the Issuer, and the Issuer, as the surviving entity, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards and its affiliates. Around the time of the Short Form Merger, the Reporting Persons intend to take all actions necessary to have the Issuers securities delisted from the NASDAQ stock exchange and deregistered under the Act. The Reporting Persons will consummate the Short Form Merger no sooner than 20 days after mailing the required disclosure documents pursuant to Rule 13e-3(e) and (f) of 17 CFR § 240.13e-3.

The Reporting Persons currently intend to proceed with the Short Form Merger, but reserve the right to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or dispose of all or a portion of their investment in the Issuer or acquire additional Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to any of the foregoing. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons may ultimately decide not to proceed with the Short Form Merger.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a)-(b): Immediately following the Share Contribution, (i) Merger Sub directly owns 324,885,516 shares of Class A Common Stock, which comprises 90.3% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. Hallmark Cards directly owns no shares of Common Stock, but shares dispositive and voting power over the shares of Common Stock owned by Merger Sub, which constitutes 324,885,516 shares of the Issuers Common Stock and 90.3% of the outstanding shares of the Issuers Common Stock. These percentages are based on 359,675,936 shares of the Issuers Common Stock outstanding as of February 16, 2016, as reported in the Issuers Form 10-K filed on February 19, 2016 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The information requested by (a)-(b) of this Item 5 for each director and executive officer of Hallmark Cards, HMK, and Merger Sub, and each executive officer of HALLC and HCC is set forth in Schedule II hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

(c): See Items 3 and 4 above.

Except as described in this Item 5(c), neither of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of their directors or executive officers, has effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d): None

(e): Not applicable.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, as it has been amended from time to time, is hereby further amended and supplemented as follows:

Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2016, by and between Hallmark Cards and HC Germany. See Items 3 and 4 above.

Promissory Note, dated as of April 6, 2016, by and between Hallmark Cards and HC Germany. See Items 3 and 4 above.
