|
|
|
Item 4. |
|
Purpose of the Transaction. |
On March 10, 2008, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of July 9, 2007 (the Transaction Agreement), by and among the Company, Bluegrass
Container Holdings, LLC (BCH), TPG Bluegrass IV, L.P. (TPG IV), TPG Bluegrass IV-AIV 2, L.P.,
TPG Bluegrass V, L.P. (TPG V), TPG Bluegrass V-AIV 2, L.P., Field Holdings, Inc., TPG FOF V-A,
L.P., TPG FOF V-B, L.P., BCH Management, LLC, TPG Bluegrass IV, Inc., as transferee of the
interests in BCH owned by TPG IV, TPG Bluegrass V, Inc., as transferee of the interests in BCH
owned by TPG V, New Graphic and Merger Sub., Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company with
the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Graphic (the Merger). Each share of
Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to
receive one share of New Graphic Common Stock. Also pursuant to the Merger, each share of Merger
Subs common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into one share of
Company Common Stock with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger.
In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Agreement, each director of the Company who was a director of the Company prior to consummation of
the Merger, except for David W. Scheible, resigned as a director, effective upon the consummation
of the Merger. Daniel J. Blount and Stephen A. Hellrung were appointed as directors of the Company
immediately following the consummation of the Merger.
Pursuant
to the Merger, the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws were amended and
restated effective upon the consummation of the Merger.
Trading
of the Company Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, and
the Company Common Stock will be delisted. New Graphic Common Stock
will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under
the Companys symbol, GPK. Registration of the Companys Common Stock under Section 12 of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated.
|
|
|
Item 5. |
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
(a) As a result of the Merger, New Graphic is the sole stockholder of the Company, and has
beneficial ownership of 100 shares of Company Common Stock, which represents 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares following the Merger. The separate corporate existence of Merger Sub has
ceased, and therefore, Merger Sub owns no shares of Company Common Stock.
(b) New Graphic has sole authority to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to
direct the disposition for all 100 shares of the Company. Merger Sub has no authority to vote or
direct the vote for any shares of the Company.
(c) On March 10, 2008, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into
the Company with the Company as the surviving corporation, and each share of Company Common Stock
was cancelled and converted into the right to receive one share of New Graphic Common Stock. As a
result of the Merger, New Graphic is deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, and is the
beneficial owner of all 100 issued and outstanding shares of the Company as the surviving
corporation in the Merger, immediately following the Merger.
(e) Merger Sub ceased to be deemed a beneficial owner of more than five percent of the
Company Common Stock on March 10, 2008, as a result of its termination of existence in the Merger.
