Riverdale obtained (i) from the Issuer warrants to purchase 4,000,000
Shares (the "Warrants") and (ii) from Mr. Ramy El-Batrawi ("Mr. El-Batrawi")
options to purchase 1,500,000 Shares (the "Options"), in each case, as described
more fully in Item 6.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Riverdale acquired Warrants and Options in connection with Riverdale's
agreement with Issuer dated July 2, 2001, which is attached hereto and made a
part hereof in its entirety as Exhibit 2. Exhibit 2 represents Riverdale's
conditional commitment to make funds available, through its affiliates, to
Issuer under the circumstances provided therein and Riverdale's agreement to
provide, directly or through its affiliates, limited investment banking services
to Issuer, all in connection with possible future acquisitions by Issuer and
possibly in other circumstances.
Riverdale expects that it may be consulted by Issuer from time to time
with respect to planned acquisitions and other out of the ordinary course
matters in addition to the matters covered in Exhibit 2. Riverdale expects that
it or its affiliates will, from time to time at the request of Issuer's
management, provide advice to Issuer.
Registrants may, at any time and from time to time, acquire additional
securities of the Issuer in the open market, from the Issuer or otherwise.
Registrants also reserve the right to dispose, at any time and from time to
time, of any securities of Issuer which they own in the open market, to the
Issuer or otherwise. As described more fully in Item 6, there are certain
limitations on Riverdale's ability to dispose of Shares and Riverdale has been
granted certain registration rights with respect to the Shares.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) As of the close of the business day on July 2, 2001, Registrants
may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, the Warrants and Options
and, assuming exercise thereof by Riverdale, 5,500,000 Shares, representing
approximately 21.274% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the
21,852,860 Shares stated to be outstanding as of April 27, 2001 by the Issuer in
the Issuer's Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 17, 2001 and assuming exercise by Riverdale of all Warrants
and Options).
(b) To the extent the Options have voting power, Riverdale has sole
voting power and Riverdale has sole dispositive power with regard to 5,500,000
Shares. Carl C. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with
regard to 5,500,000 Shares.
5
Mr. Icahn, by virtue of his relationship to Riverdale (as disclosed in
Item 2), may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Act) the securities which Riverdale directly beneficially owns.
Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities for all other
purposes.
(c) Not Applicable - See Item 6
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
On July 2, 2001, Riverdale entered into Exhibit 2 which is incorporated
by reference herein in its entirety. Pursuant to Exhibit 2, Issuer issued to
Riverdale the Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4 million Shares at exercise
prices ranging from $2.00 to $9.00 per Share and granted to Riverdale
registration rights with respect to the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and the Options. A copy of each of the Warrant Agreement, the Option
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto and made a
part hereof in its entirety as Exhibits 3, 4 and 5, respectively.
Concurrently with the issuance of the Warrants, Mr. El-Batrawi granted
Riverdale the Options to purchase 1,000,000 and 500,000 Shares held by him, at
purchase prices of $2.00 and $4.00 per Share, respectively.
Exhibit 5 provides that Riverdale agrees to lock-up the Warrants, the
Options and the Shares acquirable upon exercise of the Warrants and Options for
a period ending on July 1, 2002 unless Mr. El-Batrawi disposes of any Shares
during that period, in which case Riverdale's lock-up will terminate. In
addition, Mr. El- Batrawi and Ultimate Holdings, Ltd. agreed to lock-up the
Shares presently held by them for one year, subject to certain permissible
resales to institutions and to certain non-institutional purchasers who agree to
lock-up their Shares. In addition, the Options provide that Riverdale may direct
Mr. El-Batrawi's vote on the Shares underlying the Options for certain limited
matters.
