This Amendment No. 2 (“ Amendment No.  2 ”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “ Schedule TO ”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2018, relating to the offer by Host Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Purchaser ”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of BBX Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ BBX Intermediate ”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of BBX Main Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Parent ”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC Networks Pte Ltd., a private limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of Singapore (“ AGC Networks ,” and collectively with Purchaser, BBX Intermediate and Parent, the “ Parent Entities ”), to purchase any and all issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Shares ”), of Black Box Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Black Box ” or the “ Company ”), at a price of $1.08 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 21, 2018 (incorporated by reference in the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A)) (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Offer to Purchase ”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (incorporated by reference in the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(B)) (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Letter of Transmittal ” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “ Offer ”).

On November 11, 2018, AGC Networks entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among the Company and the Parent Entities. On December 20, 2018, the Company and the Parent Entities entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement Amendment ”) (incorporated by reference in the Schedule TO as Exhibit (d)(6)) pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to amend the Offer to increase the Offer Price from $1.08 per share to $1.10 per share, net to the holder thereof, in cash, without interest thereon.

All information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to Items 1through 9 and Item 11 as reflected below and to amend and supplement Item 12 with an additional exhibit.

Except as otherwise indicated in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9, and Item 11.

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such items incorporate by reference information in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below:

1.      Offer Price Increase . The Offer Price to be paid in the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, is increased from $1.08 to $1.10 per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable tax withholding.

a.     The Offer to Purchase is amended by amending the “Offer Price” to be $1.10 per Share throughout the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, including in the Offer to Purchase on its cover page, in the section entitled “Summary Term Sheet” (including in the subsection entitled, “Principal Terms”), in the section entitled “Introduction,” in the section entitled “Background of the Offer; Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements” (including in the subsection entitled, “Background of the Offer”) and in each other reference to the amount to be paid for the Shares or the Offer Price in the Offer to Purchase or Letter of Transmittal. Specifically, the amount “$1.08” is amended and replaced by “$1.10” in each place it appears.

b.     The section entitled, “Recent Black Box Trading Prices; Subsequent Trading” of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated as follows:

Recent Black Box Trading Prices; Subsequent Trading

 

   

On November 9, 2018, the last full trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the closing price of the Shares reported on NASDAQ was $0.87 per Share.

 

   

The Offer Price of $1.10 per Share represents a premium of approximately 26% to the closing price of the Shares reported on NASDAQ on November 9, 2018, the last full trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement.

 

   

On November 20, 2018, the latest practicable date prior to commencement of the Offer, the closing price of the Shares reported on NASDAQ was $1.06 per Share.

 

   

The Offer Price of $1.10 per Share represents a premium of approximately 3.77% to the closing price of the Shares reported on NASDAQ on November 20, 2018, the latest practicable date prior to commencement of the Offer.

 

2


   

Immediately following closing of the Merger, the Shares will no longer meet the requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ because the only stockholder will be BBX Intermediate. NASDAQ requires, among other things, that any listed shares of common stock have at least 300 total stockholders. Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, we intend to cause Black Box to delist the Shares from NASDAQ and deregister the Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

   

We advise you to obtain a recent quotation for Shares in deciding whether to tender your Shares pursuant to the Offer. See Section 6 — “Price Range of Shares; Dividends” of this Offer to Purchase.”

2.      Extension of Expiration Date . In connection with the increase in the Offer Price, the Expiration Time of the Offer is extended until midnight (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m.), New York City time, on January 4, 2019, unless the Offer is further extended. (The Offer had previously been scheduled to expire at midnight (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m.), New York City time, on December 19, 2018.) Accordingly, the Offer to Purchase is amended by amending each reference to the Expiration Time to be midnight (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m.), New York City time, on January 4, 2019 unless the Offer is further extended, including each such reference in the Offer to Purchase on its cover page, in the section entitled “Summary Term Sheet” (including in the subsection entitled, “Principal Terms”), in the section entitled “Introduction,” in the section entitled “The Tender Offer,” in the section entitled, “Purpose of the Offer and Plans for Black Box; Merger Agreement and Other Agreements” (including in the subsection entitled, “The Merger Agreement”), and in each other reference to the Expiration Date in the Offer to Purchase or Letter of Transmittal. Specifically, the date “December 19, 2018” is amended and replaced by “January 4, 2019” in each place it appears.

3.     Merger Agreement Amendment . The Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs after the last paragraph under the section entitled “Purpose of the Offer and Plans for Black Box; Merger Agreement and Other Agreements”:
