Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Except as set forth in Item 4, shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons were purchased with working capital and on margin.  The Reporting Persons’ margin transactions are with UBS Securities LLC, on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.  All or part of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by the Reporting Persons may from time

to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such bank(s) or brokerage firm(s) to the Reporting Persons.  Such loans bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect.  Such indebtedness may be refinanced with other banks or broker dealers.

 

The Notes (as defined below) would be purchased with working capital.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

On April 30, 2010, TMF distributed 87,821 shares of Common Stock to TCP 2 (the “Distributed Shares”). The Distributed Shares were distributed to TCP 2 as a result of the redemption of ownership interests in TMF held by TCP 2. The distribution of the Distributed Shares to TCP 2 did not change the aggregate Common Stock ownership of the Reporting Persons.

 

In connection with a reallocation of ownership of Common Stock among the entities comprising the Reporting Persons, 1,214 shares of Common Stock owned by TMF (the “Transferred Shares”) were deemed to have been distributed in kind as of May 27, 2010 to investors holding ownership interests in TMF, with all of the Transferred Shares then being immediately contributed by such investors to TCP 2. The consideration for the Transferred Shares contributed to TCP 2 consists of ownership interests in TCP 2 issued to such contributing TMF investors. These transactions did not change the aggregate Common Stock ownership of the Reporting Persons.

 

On February 24, 2011, certain of the Reporting Persons submitted a proposal to the Company’s board of directors concerning a possible purchase of subordinated notes by certain of the Reporting Persons from the Company in connection with the Company’s refinancing of its existing senior secured credit facility.  On February 28, 2011, TCP 2 and the Company entered into a preliminary non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) concerning the proposed acquisition by TCP 2 or certain of the other Reporting Persons of up to $8.0 million principal amount of secured senior subordinated notes of the Company (the “Notes”).   As the terms of the Notes have been proposed, the Notes would have a five-year maturity, with interest-only payments due over the term and the entire principal amount due at maturity.  The Notes would pay interest quarterly at a rate of (i) 10% per annum for the first two years after issuance and (ii) 13% per annum thereafter.  The Notes would be secured by a second-priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company securing the Company’s new senior secured credit facility. In addition, the holder of the Notes would receive warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, with a nominal exercise price. The number of such warrants would be determined based on the principal amount of Notes actually purchased.  The parties will endeavor to close the purchase of the Notes prior to March 31, 2011.  However, the Letter of Intent is non-binding, and as such does not constitute an obligation of any party to purchase the Notes.  Further, the closing of the purchase of the Notes would be subject to the successful refinancing of the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility, execution of satisfactory legal documentation and other standard conditions.  Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the purchase of the Notes by the Reporting Persons will occur on the terms set forth in the Letter of Intent or at all.

 

As discussed in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons own approximately 55.6 % of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and can control the Company’s affairs, including (i) the election of directors who in turn appoint management, (ii) any action requiring the approval of the holders of Common Stock, including adoption of amendments to the Company’s corporate charter, and (iii) approval of a merger or sale of all or substantially all assets. The Reporting Persons can also control certain decisions affecting the Company’s capital structure.  As discussed in Item 6, the Reporting Persons have certain rights to nominate directors and to require the Company to limit the size of the Board which rights are dependent on the Reporting Persons’ ownership of a certain aggregate percentage of Common Stock.  Accordingly, the disposition of the Reporting Persons’ holdings in the Company may result in changes to the size and/or composition of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired their shares of Common Stock, and would acquire the Notes, for investment purposes and in the ordinary course of business.  All of the Reporting Persons may dispose of securities of the Company at any time and from time to time in the open market, through dispositions in kind to parties holding an ownership interest in TCP, TMF and/or TCP 2, or otherwise.  In addition, TCP 2 may obtain securities of the Company through open market purchases, transfers from other Reporting Persons or otherwise.

 

Although the forgoing represents the range of activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company, it should be noted that the possible activities of the Reporting Persons are subject to change at any time. 

 

10



 

 

Accordingly, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans or intentions and to take any and all actions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

 

Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any current intention, plan or proposal with respect to: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange, if any, or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act, or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in items (a) through (i) above.

On April 10, 2007, TCP, TMF and the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Initial Securities Purchase Agreement”) which, among other things, provided for the purchase by TCP and TMF of shares of Common Stock and Senior Subordinated Promissory Notes of the Company.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Initial Securities Purchase Agreement occurred on May 18, 2007.  Under the Initial Securities Purchase Agreement, so long as the Reporting Persons (i) hold between 7.5% and 14.9% of the Common Stock then outstanding, they have the right to appoint one nominee to the Company’s Board of Directors and (ii) hold at least 15.0% of the Common Stock then outstanding, they have the right to appoint two nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors.  On July 21, 2008, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.  As of the date hereof, the Company has not appointed a second nominee of the Reporting Persons to the Company’s Board of Directors.  Under the Initial Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to limit, by the date of the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the number of directors serving on its Board to no more than nine directors for so long as the Reporting Persons have the right to appoint a director to the Company’s Board.  In addition, pursuant to the Initial Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company approved the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of up to 40% of its outstanding Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, such that the Reporting Persons would not be subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the “IBCL”).  The Company also agreed that it would not revoke such approval and that it will use its best efforts to ensure that any future acquisitions by TCP and TMF (up to 40% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis) would not be subject to anti-takeover provisions included in any of the Company’s organizational documents or the laws and regulations of any governmental authority.  The Initial Securities Purchase Agreement also contained standard representations and warranties that survive until the earlier of (i) three years following the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Initial Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) the applicable statute of limitations with respect to each representation and warranty.

 

B.  March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On March 10, 2008, the Company, TCP and TMF entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, on March 12, 2008, TCP and TMF purchased shares of Common Stock from the Company.   Pursuant to the March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement, the parties affirmed certain rights granted to TCP and TMF under the Initial Securities Purchase Agreement related to the right of TCP and TMF to appoint members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s obligations to limit the size of its Board of Directors.  These rights and obligations are set forth in greater detail in the description of the Initial Securities Purchase Agreement above.  The Company also agreed that it would use its best efforts to ensure that the acquisition of the shares purchased under the March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement would not be subject to anti-takeover provisions included in any of the Company’s organizational documents or the laws and regulations of any governmental authority.   The March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement also contained standard representations and warranties that survive until the earlier of (i) three years following the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) the applicable statute of limitations with respect to each representation and warranty.  Pursuant to the December

On December 11, 2008, the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Waiver to the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2007, among the Company, the lenders party thereto and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).  In connection with the execution of the Second Amendment and Waiver, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 474,049 newly issued shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Fifth Third Bank, Bank of America, N.A., Key Bank, National Association, RBS Citizens, National Association, Associated Bank, National City Bank and 1st Source Bank, the lenders under the Credit Agreement (the “Warrant Holders”).  The Warrants are immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire on December 11, 2018.  The terms of the Second Amendment and Waiver and the Warrants are more fully described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 15, 2008.  In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, on December 11, 2008, TCP, TMF, the Company and the Warrant Holders entered into a Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “December 2008 Registration Rights Agreement”), which restated the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement entered into by TCP, TMF and the Company on May 18, 2007.  Pursuant to the December 2008 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the resale of 5,174,963 shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons (the “Tontine Registration Statement”).  The Tontine Registration Statement was declared effective on December 30, 2008.  Pursuant to the December 2008 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the resale of 424,049 shares of Common Stock issuable to the lenders under the Credit Agreement upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Lender Registration Statement”).  The Lender Registration Statement was declared effective on July 29, 2009.  In addition, pursuant to the December 2008 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company grants to TCP, TMF and the Warrant Holders (and their respective qualifying transferees) certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights in connection with shares of Common Stock held by them or acquired in the future.  The registration rights granted under the December 2008 Registration Rights Agreement terminate with respect to TCP, TMF and the Warrant Holders (and any of their respective qualifying transferees) when such party no longer holds any Registrable Securities (as defined in the December 2008 Registration Rights Agreement).  With the exception of certain expenses, such as underwriting discounts and commissions, the Company has agreed to pay all expenses incident to its performance of or compliance with the December 2008 Registration Rights Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the holders of Registrable Securities requested to be included in a registration statement.
