Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On April 4, 2014 (the “Distribution Date”), in connection with a spin-off by Sears Holdings Corporation (“Sears Holdings”) of the Issuer, Sears Holdings distributed an aggregate of 15,516,912 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to the Reporting Persons.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On the Distribution Date, Sears Holdings distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock on a pro rata basis to each holder of record of its common stock as of 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on March 24, 2014 (the “Record Date”). Sears Holdings distributed shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock on the basis of 0.300795 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock for each share of Sears Holdings common stock owned by that stockholder as of the Record Date. To the extent that any of the Reporting Persons held shares of Sears Holdings restricted stock that was unvested as of the Record Date, the Reporting Person received cash in lieu of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. In addition, the Reporting Persons received cash in lieu of any fractional shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock which they were entitled to receive after application of the distribution ratio.
The Reporting Persons plan to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending upon each factor discussed below and each other factor (which may be unknown at this time) that is or may become relevant, the Reporting Persons plan to consider, among other things: (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer, the disposition of securities of the Issuer or the exercise of convertible securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to 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 Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
Mr. Lampert previously entered into a letter agreement with Partners (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) that restricts the purchases and sales by Mr. Lampert of certain securities of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, Mr. Lampert generally is required to sell securities of the Issuer and purchase additional securities of the Issuer on a pro rata basis with the sales and purchases of securities of the Issuer made by Partners, and generally must make such sales and purchases on substantially the same terms and conditions as Partners (subject to certain legal, tax, accounting or regulatory considerations). Mr. Lampert is also restricted from certain sales of securities of the Issuer or purchases of additional securities of the Issuer except in accordance with the Lock-Up Agreement. The foregoing summary of the Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lock-Up Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales, acquisition recommendations or proposals or other transactions concerning the Issuer may be made at any time without prior notice. Any alternative may depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the securities, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general industry conditions, the availability, form and terms of financing, other investment and business opportunities, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors. Although the foregoing reflects plans and proposals presently contemplated by each Reporting Person with respect to the Issuer, the foregoing is subject to change at any time and dependent upon contingencies and assumed and speculative conditions, and there can be no assurance that any of the actions set forth above will be taken.
Except to the extent that the foregoing may be deemed to be a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending upon the foregoing factors and to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment policies, or other factors, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the Common Stock, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that either of the Reporting Persons will take any of the actions set forth above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)-(b) Each Reporting Person declares that neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act or any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.
Each Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a group with respect to the Issuer or securities of the Issuer for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act. Each Reporting Person declares that neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act or any other purpose, (i) acting (or has agreed or is agreeing to act) with any other person as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, or disposing of securities of the Issuer or otherwise with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer or (ii) a member of any syndicate or group with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer.
As of April 8, 2014, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer set forth in the table below.
