Six Flags Comments on Red Zone Announcement; Reiterates Commitment to Sale Process
November 22 2005 - 4:12PM
Business Wire
Six Flags, Inc. (NYSE: PKS) responded today to Red Zone's
announcement that it had received and delivered to the registered
agent of Six Flags consents relating to Red Zone's previously
announced consent solicitation regarding the replacement of three
of the Company's seven directors and certain other proposals. Six
Flags emphasizes that the delivery by Red Zone of consents, whether
or not in sufficient amounts to approve Red Zone's proposals, does
not automatically give effect to any of Red Zone's proposals. The
consents, as well as all revocations of consents received by the
Company, will be sent to IVS, the independent inspector of
elections, for a preliminary tabulation. Upon receipt of a
preliminary count from the independent inspector, Six Flags and Red
Zone will each have an opportunity to review and challenge the
validity of the consents and revocations received. Upon the
completion of the review and challenge period, the independent
inspector will prepare and certify a final tabulation of the
results, which will then be publicly announced by Six Flags. Each
individual Red Zone proposal will be deemed effective only if it
has received unrevoked consents certified by the inspectors
totaling an amount greater than 50% of Six Flags' outstanding
shares. The Company does not anticipate commenting further on the
consents until the inspectors have completed their tabulation and
both parties have had the opportunity to review and challenge
consents and revocations. Six Flags reiterated its commitment to
moving as expeditiously as possible towards the completion of the
previously announced sale process. Six Flags, Inc. is the world's
largest regional theme park company. Forward Looking Statements:
