CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*

 

Amount of Filing Fee**

$104,251,276.25

 

$7,433.12

 


*                       Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee only. The calculation assumes the purchase of all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Shares”), of Rewards Network Inc., a Delaware corporation, other than Shares owned by EGI Acquisition, L.L.C. (“Purchaser”) and EGI Acquisition Parent, L.L.C. (“Parent”), at a purchase price of $13.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash. As of November 5, 2010, there were 8,815,599 Shares outstanding, of which 1,254,901 Shares are owned by Parent and Purchaser. As a result, this calculation assumes the purchase of 7,560,698 Shares.  The transaction value also includes the offer price of $13.75 multiplied by 21,213, the estimated number of options to purchase Shares that are currently outstanding and exercisable for Shares with exercise prices of less than $13.75.

 

**                The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 2 for fiscal year 2011 issued by the Securities Exchange Commission on September 29, 2010.  Such fee equals 0.0000713% of the transaction value.

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the combined Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO” ) filed by EGI Acquisition Parent, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ( “Parent” ), and EGI Acquisition, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser” ). Parent is controlled by KMJZ Investments, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“ KMJZ ”), as Parent’s non-member manager. KMJZ is controlled by Chai Trust Company, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“ Chai Trust ”), by virtue of Chai Trust being the trustee of each of the various trusts established for the benefit of members of the family of Samuel Zell that directly own KMJZ. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Shares” ), of Rewards Network Inc., a Delaware corporation ( “Rewards” ), other than Shares owned by Parent and Purchaser, at a purchase price of $13.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 8, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase” ), a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(i), and the related Letter of Transmittal, a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(ii) (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer” ). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 without definition have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Schedule TO.

 

The following amendment to Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby made.

 

Item 11. Additional Information.

 

Section (a)(5) of Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Litigation .

 

On November 10, 2010, a purported class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, captioned Discovery Partners v. Ronald L. Blake, et. al. , Case No. 10CH48639, by a purported stockholder of Rewards, in connection with the Offer and the Merger. The complaint names as defendants Rewards, each member of the Rewards board of directors and EGI (collectively, the “ Defendants ”). The complaint alleges that the members of the Rewards board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Rewards in connection with the proposed transaction, that Rewards and the members of the Rewards board of directors failed to disclose all material facts in the Rewards Schedule 14D-9 and that EGI aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks monetary and/or rescissory damages. The Defendants believe that the claims made in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this action.
