Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On April 17, 2016, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Papay Holdco and Papay Merger Sub. Papay Holdco and Papay Merger Sub are beneficially owned by affiliates of the Fund.

The Merger

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Papay Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, and the Issuer will continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Papay Holdco (the Merger).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of Issuer Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by Papay Holdco or Papay Merger Sub (or any of their subsidiaries), shares held by the Issuer and shares held by stockholders who have perfected their statutory rights of appraisal under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $36.00, without interest thereon (the Per Share Price). Company Stock-Based Awards (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and Company Options (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Price, less the exercise price per share underlying such Company Stock-Based Awards and Company Options, if any, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Issuer and Papay Holdco prior to the Closing.

Closing Conditions

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, (i) the receipt of the necessary approval of the Merger from the Issuers stockholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of any waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and approval under the antitrust and competition laws of Austria; and (iii) the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger.

No-Shop Provisions

The Issuer is subject to customary restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, prior to the receipt of the necessary stockholder approval, such solicitation restrictions are subject to a customary fiduciary out provision that allows the Issuer, under certain specified circumstances, to provide information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal if the board of directors of the Issuer determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such alternative acquisition proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (which is generally defined to refer to a bona fide written acquisition proposal that the board of directors of the Issuer determines, in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, is reasonably likely to be consummated and is more favorable from a financial point of view to the Issuers shareholders than the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement) or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and the failure to explore the alternative acquisition proposal would be inconsistent with the directors fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable law. The parties have also agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger.

Termination; Termination Fees and Papay Holdco Expenses

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Issuer and Papay Holdco. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Issuer will be required to pay Papay Holdco a termination fee.


If the Merger Agreement is terminated in connection with the Issuer accepting a Superior Proposal or due to the withdrawal of its recommendation of the Merger by the Issuers board of directors, then the termination fee payable by the Issuer to Papay Holdco will be $45.3 million. This termination fee will also be payable if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances and prior to such termination, a proposal to acquire at least 50% of the Issuers stock or assets is publicly announced or disclosed and the Issuer enters into an agreement for, or completes, any transaction involving the acquisition of at least 50% of its stock or assets within one year of the termination.

Other Terms

The Issuer has made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and has agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of the business of the Issuer and its subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time.

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is set forth as Exhibit 1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The proposed transaction values the equity of the Issuer at approximately $1.65 billion. Papay Holdco have received equity commitments in respect of funds sufficient to purchase all of the shares of the Issuers capital stock in the Merger and to consummate the other transactions described above.

Equity Commitment

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Fund and Vista Holdings Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership controlled by Mr. Smith, have delivered equity commitment letters to Papay Holdco (the Equity Commitment Letter) to capitalize Papay Merger Sub, at or immediately prior to the time of the Merger, with an aggregate equity contribution in an amount up to $1.65 billion, which will be sufficient for Papay Holdco to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement even if Papay Holdco or its affiliates do not obtain any debt financing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters (the Equity Financing). Papay Merger Sub and Paypay Holdco may obtain debt financing to offset a portion of the funds required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Funding of the Equity Financing is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters, respectively. The foregoing description of the Equity Commitment Letters do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Commitment Letters, which are attached as Exhibits 2 and 3 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Voting and Support Agreements
