Tempur Sealy
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Tempur Sealy
or the
Company
), supplements Item 1 to incorporate the following with respect to the rights to purchase Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock (the
Preferred Shares
) that were issued under the Rights Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2017 (the
Original Rights Agreement
), by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, LLC., as Rights Agent (the
Rights Agent
):
On March 14, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended
and Restated Rights Agreement (the
Amended and Restated Rights Agreement
) with the Rights Agent to amend certain provisions of the Original Rights Agreement. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement of the Original
Rights Agreement is to provide the holders of the Companys common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the
Common Stock
) and the attached preferred stock purchase rights issued under the Original Rights Agreement with the
ability to exempt an offer to acquire, or engage in another business combination transaction involving, the Company that is deemed a
Qualifying Offer
(as defined in the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement) from the terms of the
Amended and Restated Rights Agreement. A Qualifying Offer is, in summary, an offer determined by a majority of the independent members of the Companys Board of Directors (the
Board
) to have specific characteristics which are
generally intended to preclude offers that are coercive, abusive or highly contingent. Among those characteristics are that it be (i) a fully financed all-cash tender offer or an exchange offer offering shares of Common Stock of the offeror, or
a combination thereof, for any and all of the Companys outstanding Common Stock; (ii) an offer whose per share offer price and consideration represent a reasonable premium over the highest reported per share market price of
the Companys Common Stock in the immediately preceding twenty four (24) months immediately preceding the date on which the offer is commenced; (iii) an offer that, within twenty (20) business days after the commencement date of
the offer (or within ten (10) business days after any increase in the offer consideration), does not result in a nationally recognized investment banking firm retained by the Board rendering an opinion to the Board that the consideration being
offered to the holders of the Companys Common Stock is either inadequate or unfair; and (iv) an offer that is otherwise in the best interests of the Companys stockholders. The Amended and Restated Rights Agreement provides
additional characteristics necessary for an acquisition offer to be deemed a Qualifying Offer including if the consideration offered in a proposed transaction is stock of the acquiror.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, if the Company receives a Qualifying Offer and the Board has not redeemed the
outstanding Rights or exempted such Qualifying Offer from the terms of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement or called a special meeting of stockholders (the
Special Meeting
) for the purpose of voting on whether to exempt such
Qualifying Offer from the terms of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, in each case by the end of the ninety (90) business day period following the commencement of such Qualifying Offer, provided such offer remains a Qualifying Offer
during such period, the holders of ten (10) percent of the Companys Common Stock may request that the Board call a Special Meeting to vote on a resolution authorizing the exemption of the Qualifying Offer from the terms of the Amended and
Restated Rights Agreement. If such a Special Meeting is not held by the ninetieth (90th) business day following the receipt of such a request from stockholders to call a Special Meeting, the Qualifying Offer will be deemed exempt from the terms
of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement on the tenth (10th) business day thereafter.
The Amended and Restated Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein
by reference. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, including, but not limited to, the description of the characteristics necessary for an acquisition or other business combination offer to be deemed a
Qualifying Offer, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement.
In connection with the approval and adoption of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the Company amended and restated the Certificate of
Designation for the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the
Original Certificate of Designation
) that it had filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 9, 2017 in connection with the
adoption of the Original Rights Agreement. On March 15, 2017, the Company intends to file an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the
Amended and Restated Certificate of
Designation
) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation amends the Original Certificate of Designation to reference the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement adopted on
March 14, 2017, but did not change any of the rights, powers and preferences of the Preferred Shares that were set forth in the Original Certificate of Designation.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing
description of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation.
Pursuant to the Instructions as to Exhibits with respect to Form 8-A, the
following exhibits are being filed with the Commission in connection with this Registration Statement.
