This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) filed by Liberty Interactive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Liberty Interactive”), and Mocha Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive (“Purchaser”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 1, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on September 11, 2015. The Schedule TO relates to the offer (the “Offer”) by Purchaser to exchange each issued and outstanding share of common stock of zulily, inc., a Delaware corporation (“zulily”), for consideration (the “Offer Consideration”) consisting of:
· $9.375 in cash, without interest, and
· 0.3098 of a share of Series A QVC Group common stock of Liberty Interactive, par value $0.01 per share,
subject to the terms and conditions described in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange (as defined below) and the related Letter of Transmittal (as defined below). Capitalized terms used not but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule TO and the related exhibits incorporated therein by reference.
The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of August 16, 2015 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and among Liberty Interactive, Purchaser, Ziggy Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned merger subsidiary of Liberty Interactive (“Merger Sub 2”), and zulily, which contemplates the Offer and the subsequent merger of Purchaser with and into zulily (the “first merger”) with zulily surviving. In the first merger, which is expected to occur on the same day the Offer is consummated, each outstanding share of zulily common stock that Purchaser did not acquire in the Offer, other than those shares held by Liberty Interactive, Purchaser, Merger Sub 2 or zulily, or stockholders of zulily who properly demand appraisal in accordance with Delaware law (and who do not fail to perfect or otherwise effectively withdraw their demand or otherwise waive or lose their right to appraisal), will automatically be converted into the Offer Consideration. Immediately after the first merger, (i) zulily will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive, and the former zulily stockholders will no longer have any direct ownership interest in zulily or its business and (ii) zulily will merge with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “second merger”). Merger Sub 2 will survive and be renamed “zulily, llc.” The first merger and the second merger are referred to together as the “mergers.”
On September 1, 2015, Liberty Interactive filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the shares of Liberty Interactive Series A QVC Group common stock to be issued to zulily stockholders and holders of stock options and restricted stock units in the Offer and the mergers. The terms and conditions of the Offer and the mergers are described in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, which is a part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which are filed as Exhibits (a)(4) and (a)(1)(A) hereto, respectively.
Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information contained in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal, including any prospectus supplement or other supplement thereto related to the Offer hereafter filed with the SEC by Liberty Interactive or Purchaser, is hereby expressly incorporated into this Schedule TO by reference in response to Items 1 through 11 of this Schedule TO and is supplemented by the information specifically provided for in this Schedule TO. The Reorganization Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (d)(1) hereto, is incorporated into this Schedule TO by reference.
Items 1 through 11.
Items 1, 4(a) and 11(a) are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:
On September 14, 2015, the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period applicable to the Offer and the mergers under the HSR Act. Accordingly, the condition relating to the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period has been satisfied.
Item 11(a) is further amended and supplemented by adding the following to the end of the subsection entitled “Certain Legal Proceedings”:
On September 15, 2015, Scott Mao, a purported stockholder of zulily, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington against zulily, members of the zulily board of directors, Liberty Interactive, Purchaser and Merger Sub 2 for violations of the Exchange Act relating to the filing of an allegedly materially incomplete and misleading Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC on September 1, 2015. The suit seeks, among other things: (i) declaration as a class action; (ii) an order enjoining defendants from consummating the Offer; (iii) rescission of the proposed transaction, or any terms thereof, to the extent already implemented, or granting of rescissory damages; and (iv) an award of the costs and disbursements of the action, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The defendants believe the allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend this suit.
Item 12.
Item 12 is amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:
(a)(5)(I) Complaint of Scott Mao against zulily, Darrell Cavens, Mark Vadon, W. Eric Carlborg, John Geschke, Mike Gupta, Youngme Moon, Michael Potter, Spencer Rascoff, Liberty Interactive, Purchaser and Merger Sub 2, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, and dated September 15, 2015
