CUSIP No. 285218103   Page 10 of 17 Pages

 

The Reporting Persons are principally engaged in the business of investments in securities. Mr. Gores is the chairman and chief executive officer of Platinum Equity.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or Related Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was 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

As described in Item 4, Parent entered into the voting agreements (the Voting Agreements) with Daniel Greenberg, a director of the Issuer and the Issuers current chief executive officer, and Phillip Greenberg, a member of his family (together, the Greenbergs), as a condition of and material inducement to Parent and Elecor Merger Corporation, a California corporation (Merger Sub) entering into the Merger Agreement. The shares to which this Schedule 13D relate have not been purchased by Parent or Merger Sub, and thus no funds have been used for such purpose.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Merger Agreement

On May 27, 2016, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Merger).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, and as a result of the Merger:

 

    each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than shares held by any person who properly asserts dissenters rights under California law) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $13.12 per share (the Merger Consideration); and

 

    each restricted stock unit (whether vested or unvested) that is outstanding at the effective time of the Merger will vest in full and will convert into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the per share Merger Consideration.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants of the Issuer to conduct its businesses in the ordinary course between the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period (including the payment of dividends). In addition, the Issuer made certain other customary covenants, including, among others, covenants, subject to certain exceptions, (A) to cause a shareholders


13D

 

CUSIP No. 285218103   Page 11 of 17 Pages

 

meeting to be held to consider adopting the Merger Agreement, (B) for its board of directors to recommend adoption by the Issuers shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to include such recommendation in any solicitation of votes from the Issuers shareholders, (C) not to solicit proposals relating to alternative transactions and (D) not to enter into discussions concerning or provide confidential information in connection with alternative transactions. The restrictions in the preceding clauses (B) and (D) are subject to a fiduciary out provision that, prior to the time shareholder approval is obtained, allows the Issuer under certain limited circumstances to provide information to, participate in negotiations and discussions with, and enter into an alternative transaction with a third party and/or to make a recommendation change adverse to the Merger.

Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby are expected to close by the end of September 2016. Consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition, but is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) approval of the Issuers shareholders, (ii) the expiration or earlier termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) absence of any order or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and (iv) subject to customary materiality qualifiers, the accuracy of the Issuers representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and compliance by the Issuer with its covenants contained in the Merger Agreement. Parent has obtained an equity financing commitment to fund the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the aggregate proceeds of which, together with cash and cash equivalents available to Parent, will be sufficient for Parent to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and all related fees and expenses.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Issuer and Parent. It provides that upon the Issuers termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances (generally in the event the board of directors of the Issuer changes its recommendation that its shareholders approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger, or elects to pursue a superior acquisition proposal from a third party), the Issuer will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $11.3 million.

Limited Guaranty

On May 27, 2016, PECP III entered into a Limited Guaranty (the Guaranty) with the Issuer pursuant to which, among other things, PECP III has unconditionally agreed to guarantee, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Guaranty, the obligations of Parent to make any payments required to be made by Parent under the Merger Agreement (other than payment of the Merger Consideration), up to a maximum amount equal to $16.2 million.

Voting Agreements

Concurrent with and as a condition to Parent entering into the Merger Agreement, the Greenbergs, each entered into the Voting Agreements, with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, as set forth in the Voting Agreements, and any additional shares of common stock and any other voting securities of the Issuer which they acquire record and/or beneficial ownership of after the date of the Voting Agreements (collectively, the Voting Agreement Shares).


13D

 

CUSIP No. 285218103   Page 12 of 17 Pages

 

The Greenbergs collectively beneficially own approximately 29% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and have agreed to take the following actions, among others, during the term of the Voting Agreements: (1) vote all Voting Agreement Shares in favor of the Merger and in favor of any transactions related to the Merger; (2) vote the Voting Agreement Shares against any alternative transaction and (3) vote against any other actions that would impede or prevent the Merger or result in the Issuer breaching any of its obligations or representations in the Merger Agreement. Under the Voting Agreements, the Greenbergs have granted to Parent (and its designees) an irrevocable proxy to vote the Voting Agreement Shares as provided above. The Voting Agreements, including the irrevocable proxies granted thereunder, will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (iii) mutual agreement between the Parent and each Greenberg.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Guarantee and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference.

General

The primary purpose of the transactions described above is for Parent, through Merger Sub, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Upon consummation of the transactions described above, the Issuer will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and the Common Stock will cease to be freely traded or listed and will be de-registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, Parent has the right to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by the Greenbergs and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own 6,936,007 shares of Common Stock. Tom Gores, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Platinum Equity, is the ultimate beneficial owner of Platinum Equity. Platinum Equity is the sole member of Platinum Investment, which is the senior managing member of Platinum Partners, which is the general partner of PECP III, which is the majority stockholder of Elecor Holding, which is the sole shareholder of EIHC, which is the sole shareholder of Parent. Accordingly, each of the foregoing entities may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a)-(b), each of the persons named in this Item 5(a)-(b) disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Stock owned beneficially or of record by any other person named in this Item 5(a)-(b).
