The tender offer, previously announced on January 6, 2006, and extended on February 17, 2006, expired, as scheduled, at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Friday, February 24, 2006. Approximately 85.7% of the outstanding Fox & Hound shares were tendered in response to F&H Acquisition Corp.'s $16.30 per share cash offer.
