Item 1.

Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (as amended by Amendment No. 1 (as described below) thereto, the “Original Schedule 13D” and, together with this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”) filed by the Reporting Persons on October 21, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on November 2, 2011 (“Amendment No. 1”) and relates to the common stock, no par value (the “Common Shares”), of 99¢ Only Stores, a California corporation (the “Issuer”).  The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 4000 Union Pacific Avenue, City of Commerce, California  90023.

 

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original 13D.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

Closing of the Transactions

 

On January 13, 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).  At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding Common Share (each, a “Former Share” and collectively, the “Former Shares”) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, excluding (i) Common Shares held by any stockholders who were entitled to and who properly exercised dissenters’ rights under California law, (ii) treasury shares, and (iii) Common Shares held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, which included the shares held by the Rollover Investors that were contributed to Parent pursuant to the Rollover Letter.  In addition, at the Effective Time, (a) each outstanding stock option was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price for each Common Share subject to the applicable option, (b) each RSU was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of unforfeited Common Shares then subject to the RSU multiplied by the Merger Consideration, and (c) each PSU was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of unforfeited Common Shares then subject to the PSU, multiplied by the Merger Consideration.

 

As a result of the Merger, at the Effective Time, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Former Shares.

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a), 5(b), 5(c) and 5(e) of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as set forth below:

 

(a)-(b)  As a result of the transactions described in Item 4, as of January 13, 2012 the Reporting Persons no longer may be deemed to have any shared voting power, or beneficially own, any Former Shares.

 

(c)  Except for the transactions described in Item 4, to the best knowledge of the Ares Entities, neither the Ares Entities nor any person listed on Schedule I hereto whose principal occupation is with an Ares Entity has beneficial ownership of, or has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in, any Former Shares.

 

Except for the transactions described in Item 4, to the best knowledge of CPPIB, none of CPPIB, any person listed on Schedule I hereto whose principal occupation is with CPPIB or any person listed on Schedule II hereto has beneficial ownership of, or has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in, any Former Shares.

 

(e)  As of January 13, 2012, the Reporting Persons are not beneficial owners of more than five percent of the outstanding Former Shares.
