Explanatory Note
: This Amendment No. 25 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment) is being filed on
behalf of Isaac Perlmutter, Object Trading Corp., a Florida corporation (Object Trading) and the Isaac Perlmutter Trust 01/28/1993 (the Trust) to amend and supplement the original Schedule 13D, and all amendments thereto,
which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of (1) Zib, Inc., a Florida corporation (Zib); (2) the Trust; (3) Object Trading; (4) the Laura & Isaac Perlmutter Foundation Inc.;
(5) Isaac Perlmutter; (6) Biobright Corporation; (7) Classic Heroes; Inc.; and (8) Tangible Media, Inc., with respect to the ownership of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), of Marvel
Entertainment, Inc. (Marvel).
Mr. Perlmutter, Object Trading and the Trust are together referred to in this Amendment as the
Reporting Persons. This Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Unchanged.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Unchanged.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
On August 31, 2009, The
Walt Disney Company, a Delaware corporation (Disney), Maverick Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney (Merger Sub), Maverick Merger Sub, LLC, a single member Delaware limited
liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Disney (Merger LLC), and Marvel, a Delaware corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Disney has agreed to acquire Marvel through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Marvel (the Merger), with Marvel to be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the Surviving
Corporation), which will be followed, immediately after the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), by a merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into Merger LLC (the Upstream Merger), with Merger LLC to
be the surviving entity in the Upstream Merger. As a result of the Merger, Marvel will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney.
At the Effective Time,
by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of the capital stock of Marvel, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any dissenting shares) will
be converted into the right to receive (i) $30 in cash (the Cash Consideration) and (ii) 0.7452 shares of Disney common stock (the Exchange Ratio, and together with the Cash Consideration, the Merger
Consideration). However, if the aggregate value of the shares of Disney common stock issued pursuant to the Merger, valued as of the closing date of the Merger (the Total
|
|
|
|
|
CUSIP No. 57383T103
|
|
|
|
Page 6 of 11 Pages
|
Stock Consideration) is less than 40% of the sum of the Total Stock Consideration plus the aggregate value
of the cash paid to Marvel stockholders pursuant to the Merger (such sum, the Total Consideration) then the Exchange Ratio will be increased, and the amount of cash paid per share of Common Stock will be correspondingly decreased, such
that the Total Stock Consideration equals 40% of the Total Consideration. For every .0001 increase to the Exchange Ratio, the per-share cash consideration will be reduced by the product of .0001 multiplied by the average of $26.84 and the closing
date value of one share of Disney common stock. No fractional shares of Disney common stock will be issued in the Merger.
Immediately prior to the
Effective Time, unvested options to purchase Common Stock (including Mr. Perlmutters unvested options to purchase 1,264,354 shares of Common Stock) will become fully vested. Holders of all unexercised Marvel stock options outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Marvel shares subject to the option and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration
over (B) the exercise price per share subject to the option, less any applicable taxes. Each share of Marvel restricted stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will vest in full and, as of the Effective Time, entitle the
holder to receive the Merger Consideration, less applicable taxes. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Marvel restricted stock unit will expire and the holders will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each share of Marvel
common stock subject to the unit, less applicable taxes.
The completion of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including, among others
(i) obtaining the approval of Marvel stockholders, (ii) obtaining clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and certain non-United States merger control regulations, (iii) subject to certain materiality
exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by Disney and Marvel, respectively, and compliance by Disney and Marvel with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (iv) declaration of the effectiveness
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Disney.
The Merger Agreement is
filed as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment and any references to or descriptions of the Merger and the Merger Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein in its
entirety.
In addition, as an inducement for Disney to enter into the Merger Agreement, Mr. Perlmutter and certain of his affiliates entered into a
voting agreement dated as of August 31, 2009 (the Voting Agreement). Disney did not pay additional consideration to Perlmutter in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreement. For a description of the Voting
Agreement, see Item 6 below, which description is incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 4. The Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is amended and restated as follows:
(a) and (b) The
information contained in rows 11 and 13 of the cover pages for each of the Reporting Persons is incorporated herein by reference. As of August 31, 2009, the Reporting Persons (including all executive officers, trustees and directors set forth
in Schedule I) may be deemed to beneficially own, to the best of their knowledge, an aggregate of 28,887,785 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 36.80% of the shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as of the date of filing of this Amendment is based upon 78,493,680 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on August 28, 2009 as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
By virtue of the proxy granted to Disney pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Disney may be deemed to share the power to vote the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in accordance with the terms of the Voting Agreement. See the discussion of the Voting Agreement contained in Item 4 hereof.
(b) Mr. Perlmutter holds of record and directly beneficially owns and has the shared direct power to vote and sole power to dispose of 206,355 outstanding shares of Common Stock and Mr. Perlmutter indirectly
beneficially owns and has the shared indirect power to vote and sole indirect power to dispose of the 28,681,430 shares of Common stock directly beneficially owned by the Trust, Object Trading and Zib.
The Trust holds of record and directly beneficially owns and has the shared direct power to vote and sole power to dispose of 10,364,105 outstanding shares of Common
Stock and the Trust indirectly beneficially owns and has the shared indirect power to vote and sole indirect power to dispose of the 14,622,680 shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by Object Trading and the 3,694,645 shares of Common
Stock directly beneficially owned by Zib. The Trust is the sole stockholder of Object Trading and Zib.
Each executive officer and director of Object
Trading and trustee of the Trust has the shared power to vote and dispose of the respective amounts of Common Stock set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
Mr. Perlmutter holds options exercisable for 514,354 shares of Common Stock at $25.86 per share, which vest in equal one-third installments on March 2, 2010, March 2, 2011 and March 2, 2012. Mr. Perlmutter also
holds options exercisable for 750,000 shares of Common Stock at $23.15 per share, which vest in equal one-third installments on March 23, 2010, March 23, 2011, and March 23, 2012. These options accelerate and become exercisable
upon consummation of the Merger. However, pursuant to SEC rules, the shares of Common Stock underlying these options are not reflected in the beneficial ownership numbers and percentages for Mr. Perlmutter, as he does not have the right to
acquire this Common Stock within 60 days.
(c) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Isaac Perlmutter, the Trust, Object Trading and Zib (collectively, the
Marvel Stockholders), entered into a Voting Agreement with Disney (the Voting Agreement). Shares of Marvel common stock beneficially owned by the Marvel Stockholders subject to the Voting Agreement (the Voting Agreement
Shares) constituted 36.8% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Marvel common stock as of August 28, 2009. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Marvel Stockholders have agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, the Voting Agreement
Shares in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of each of the transactions contemplated thereby. Further, the Marvel Stockholders have agreed to vote against (i) the approval of any alternative business combination transaction
or the adoption of any agreement relating to any alternative business combination transaction or (ii) any amendment to Marvels certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any other action involving Marvel which would result in a breach of
any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Marvel contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Marvel Stockholders contained in the Voting Agreement or would in any manner compete with, or interfere with, the
Merger.
In the Voting Agreement, the Marvel Stockholders agreed not to, among other things, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or
enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to the transfer of any Voting Agreement Shares, or grant any proxies or options with respect to the Voting Agreement Shares. The Marvel Stockholders have also agreed (i) not to
solicit any alternative business combination transaction proposal, or engage in discussions with any person or enter into any agreement with respect to, any alternative business combination transactions, and (ii) not to take any action which
makes, or would reasonably be expected to make, any representation or warranty of the Marvel Stockholders in the Voting Agreement untrue or incorrect. The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the effective time of
the Merger and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Marvel
Stockholders granted Disney an irrevocable proxy with respect to the Voting Agreement Shares. The irrevocable proxy allows Disney to vote the shares of Voting Agreement Shares in the manner set forth above.
The Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Amendment and any references to or descriptions of the Voting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the full text of the Voting Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
