Sun Capital Securities Group, LLC today announced the successful
completion of Cardinal Integrated, LLC�s cash tender offer for the
outstanding shares of Kellwood Company (NYSE: KWD), which expired
at 12:00 midnight New York City time, on Tuesday, February 12,
2008. As of the close of the offer, approximately 15.8 million
Kellwood shares have been validly tendered, and not properly
withdrawn, representing approximately 70.5% of the outstanding
shares of Kellwood. When added to Sun Capital�s existing 11.4%
stake, this represents approximately 81.9% of Kellwood�s total
outstanding shares. Additional shares were guaranteed to be
delivered within the next three business days which, if added to
the tendered shares and Sun Capital�s existing stake, would
represent in excess of 90.0% of Kellwood�s total outstanding
shares. All shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn
prior to the expiration of the offer have been accepted for
purchase by Cardinal Integrated, and Cardinal Integrated expects to
promptly pay for all such shares. Sun Capital also announced that
Cardinal Integrated has commenced a subsequent offering period for
all of the remaining untendered shares that will expire at 12:00
midnight New York City time, on Friday, February 15, 2008. During
this subsequent offering period, Kellwood shareholders who did not
previously tender their shares into the offer may do so and will
promptly receive $21.00 per share cash consideration, as was paid
during the initial offering period. Shares tendered during the
subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. After expiration
of the subsequent offering period, as the final step of the
acquisition process, a subsidiary of Cardinal Integrated will be
merged with and into Kellwood and each share not previously
purchased in the tender offer will be converted, subject to
appraisal rights, into the right to receive $21.00 per share in
cash. Consummation of the merger is expected to occur as soon as
practicable after the expiration of the subsequent offering period.
Following the merger, Kellwood will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cardinal Integrated, and Kellwood�s common stock will
be delisted and will cease to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
