The foregoing share figures have been provided by Castle Brands to the Offeror and are as of August 27, 2019, the most recent practicable date.

**               The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Advisory Rate #1 for fiscal year 2019, issued August 24, 2018, is calculated by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.0001212.

This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2019 (together with any amendments and supplements hereto, this “Schedule TO”) by Rook Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Offeror”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Austin, Nichols & Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Offeror to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Castle Brands Inc., a Florida corporation (“Castle Brands”), at a purchase price of $1.27 per Share in cash, net of applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 11, 2019 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO and in the related Letter of Transmittal, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO, which, together with any other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer,” pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 28, 2019, by and among Parent, the Offeror and Castle Brands.

 

All of the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

 

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Item 11 as reflected below and to amend and supplement Item 12 with an additional exhibit.

 

ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

 

Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

 

The Offer and related withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at Midnight, New York time (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York time), on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 (such date and time, the “Expiration Time”), without being extended. The Depositary and Paying Agent for the Offer has advised that, as of the Expiration Time, 150,335,952 Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that were not yet delivered in satisfaction of such guarantee) had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 89.52% of the aggregate number of then issued and outstanding Shares. Accordingly, the Minimum Condition has been satisfied. As a result of the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and each of the other conditions to the Offer, the Offeror has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, pursuant to the Offer. In addition, the Depositary and Paying Agent for the Offer has advised that, as of the Expiration Time, 2,417,028 Shares have been tendered by Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, representing approximately 1.44% of the aggregate number of then issued and outstanding Shares.

Accordingly, on October 9, 2019, Parent and the Offeror effected the Merger under Section 607.1104 of the FBCA without a shareholders meeting, pursuant to which the Offeror was merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Share (other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, the Offeror, Castle Brands or any of their subsidiaries and (ii) Shares owned by any shareholders who are entitled to and properly demand and exercise their statutory appraisal rights, if applicable, and who comply in all respects with Sections 607.1301 to 607.1333 of the FBCA) was converted automatically into and represents only the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, net of applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

 

As a consequence of the Merger, the Shares will no longer be listed on the NYSE American and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.
