     This Amendment No. 9 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (which, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute this “Schedule TO”) relating to the tender offer by Wonder Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wonder Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Matrixx Initiatives, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Matrixx”), including the associated rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2002, as amended on December 14, 2010 and further amended on January 11, 2011, between Matrixx and Registrar and Transfer Company (the shares of the common stock of Matrixx, together with the associated rights, collectively referred to as the “Shares”), at a price of $8.75 per Share net to the seller in cash without interest and less any required withholding taxes, if any, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated December 22, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which, together with any amendments or supplements, collectively constitute the “Offer.”
     All the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 in this Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Schedule TO.
Items 1 though 9 and 11
     (1) Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby revised as follows:
     The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, February 14, 2011. The Depositary (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) has advised Parent and Purchaser that a total of 6,525,546 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn upon expiration of the Offer (including 211,814 Shares subject to guaranteed delivery procedures). Purchaser accepted for payment all such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. As a result of these transactions, Purchaser owns approximately 69.1% of the Shares.
     In accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 14, 2010, among Matrixx, Parent and Purchaser (the “Merger Agreement”), Purchaser has commenced a subsequent offering period to acquire all remaining untendered Shares. The subsequent offering period will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 17, 2011. During the subsequent offering period, Purchaser will immediately accept for payment and promptly pay for properly tendered Shares as such Shares are tendered. Stockholders who properly tender during the subsequent offering period will receive the same $8.75 per Share cash consideration (without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes) that is payable to stockholders who tendered during the initial offering period. Procedures for tendering Shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as during the initial offering period with two exceptions: (i) Shares cannot be delivered by the guaranteed delivery procedure and (ii) pursuant to Rule 14d-7(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn.
     Following the subsequent offering period, Purchaser may exercise its “top-up option” to purchase Shares from Matrixx at a price of $8.75 per Share in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. These Shares, when added to the number of Shares owned by Purchaser as a result of the initial offer period and the subsequent offering period, may result in Purchaser owning more than 90% of the Shares then outstanding. If Purchaser owns at least 90% of the Shares after the subsequent offering period and, if applicable, after Purchaser’s exercise of the “top-up option” under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser and Parent will effect the Merger in accordance with the short-form merger provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, without prior notice to, or any action by, any other Matrixx stockholder.
     If Purchaser is not able to consummate a short-form merger, it intends to seek approval of the merger by a vote of Matrixx’s stockholders at a duly held meeting, where, as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of Shares in the Offer, it will be able to approve the Merger without the affirmative vote of any other stockholder. Upon consummation of a short-form or other merger, Matrixx will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and each Share will be cancelled and (except for Shares held by Purchaser, Parent, Matrixx or their respective subsidiaries or Shares held by Matrixx’s stockholders who have and validly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the same consideration, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, received by holders who tendered Shares in the Offer and the subsequent offering period.

     On February 15, 2011, Matrixx and H.I.G. Capital, LLC issued a joint press release announcing the preliminary results of the Offer and the commencement of the subsequent offering period. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(M) and is incorporated herein by reference.
     (2) Item 11 of the Schedule TO, and the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph as the last paragraph of the subsection captioned “General” in Section 16 — “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals.” in the Offer to Purchase:
     “In order to avoid the costs, disruption and distraction of further litigation, and without admitting the validity of any allegations made in the Schneider Complaint, counsel for each of the defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding dated as of February 14, 2011 with plaintiff’s counsel (the “MOU”), which sets forth an agreement in principle to settle the Schneider Complaint on the terms and conditions set forth in the MOU (the “Settlement”). The MOU provides, among other things, that the parties to the Schneider Complaint will use their best efforts to agree upon, execute and present to the court, within 30 days of the MOU, a formal stipulation of settlement (the “Stipulation”), which shall include, among other things, the following provisions:
(i) a conditional certification of the Schneider Complaint as a consolidated class action on behalf of Matrixx’s public stockholders (the “Class”) pursuant to Arizona law;
(ii) a complete discharge, dismissal with prejudice, settlement and release of, and an injunction barring, all claims of any kind or nature whatsoever that have been, could have been, or in the future can or might be asserted against the defendants (including certain affiliates and representatives thereof) in the Schneider Complaint or in any other matter by or on behalf of any member of the Class, except the right of the plaintiff or any other member of the Class to enforce the terms of the Stipulation;
(iii) a release by the defendants of the plaintiff, members of the Class and plaintiff’s counsel from all claims arising out of the institution, prosecution, settlement or resolution of the Schneider Complaint, except the right to enforce the terms of the Stipulation or the MOU;
(iv) that the defendants have denied and continue to deny that any of them have committed or have threatened to commit or have aided or abetted the alleged commission of any violations of law or breaches of duty to the plaintiff, the Class or anyone else; and
(v) an acknowledgement that plaintiff’s counsel has a claim for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses in connection with the Schneider Complaint and an agreement by the defendants not to oppose plaintiff’s application for fees and expenses up to and not exceeding $150,000.
     In addition, the MOU provides that all proceedings in the Schneider Complaint, except for those relating to the Settlement, shall be suspended pending the negotiation and execution of the Stipulation. Except for the fees and expenses of plaintiff’s counsel, the defendants shall bear no other expenses, costs, damages or fees alleged or incurred by the plaintiff, by any member of the Class, or by any of their attorneys, experts or other representatives.
     The MOU shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, if (i) the Settlement does not obtain final approval by the court; (ii) plaintiff concludes, after obtaining certain confirmatory discovery that Matrixx is obligated to provide pursuant to the MOU, that the Settlement is not fair, adequate, and in the best interests of the Class, or (iii) the Offer is not concluded for any reason. The effective date of the Settlement shall be the date on which the order of the court approving the Settlement becomes final and no longer subject to further appeal or review.”
