INTRODUCTION
This Amendment to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this Final Amendment) filed by Tribune Company (the Company), Samuel Zell (Mr. Zell or Zell), EGI-TRB, L.L.C. (the Zell Entity), Sam Investment Trust (SIT), the Tribune Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP) and Tesop Corporation (Merger Sub) amends and supplements the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement (the Schedule 13E-3) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) by the Company, Mr. Zell, the Zell Entity, SIT, the ESOP and Merger Sub on June 4, 2007, as amended on July 13, 2007 and August 22, 2007. This Final Amendment also supplements the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement and amendments thereto filed with the SEC by the Company, Mr. Zell, the Zell Entity, SIT, the ESOP and Merger Sub under cover of Schedule 13E-3 that related to the Tender Offer Statement originally filed by the Company with the SEC on April 25, 2007 under cover of Schedule TO (such Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement and Tender Offer Statement, as amended, being collectively referred to as the Filing), in connection with: (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 1, 2007 (the Merger Agreement), by and among the Company, a Delaware corporation, GreatBanc Trust Company, not in its individual or corporate capacity, but solely as trustee of the Tribune Employee Stock Ownership Trust, which forms a part of the ESOP, Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation wholly owned by the ESOP, and, for limited purposes, the Zell Entity, a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by SIT, a trust established for the benefit of Mr. Zell and his family; and (ii) the offer by the Company to purchase up to 126,000,000 shares of its common stock (including the associated rights to purchase Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock), par value $0.01 per share (the Company Common Stock), at a price of $34.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated April 25, 2007 (the Offer to Purchase), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the Letter of Transmittal, which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the Tender Offer). The Tender Offer expired on May 24, 2007. This Final Amendment relates to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company on December 20, 2007 (the Merger), with the Company surviving and becoming wholly owned by the ESOP. The Merger is part of a series of transactions under which the ESOP and the Zell Entity have invested in the Company.
This Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of the Filing.
Item 15. Additional Information.
Item 15(b) of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
On December 20, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation wholly owned by the ESOP, was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, the Company has become a privately held company wholly owned by the ESOP, with the Zell Entity as an investor in the Company through a subordinated promissory note and a warrant to acquire common stock. The Merger became effective as of 12:02 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 20, 2007 (the Effective Time). At the Effective Time, (i) each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock, other than shares held by the ESOP or Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, shares held by the Company immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (in each case, other than shares held on behalf of third parties) and shares held by shareholders who validly exercised appraisal rights, was automatically converted into the right to receive $34.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, and (ii) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and the Company became wholly owned by the ESOP.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company repaid the $200 million exchangeable promissory note, plus accrued interest thereon, held by the Zell Entity and immediately following the Effective Time, the Zell Entity purchased from the Company, for an aggregate of $315 million, a $225 million unsecured subordinated promissory note (the Subordinated Note) and a 15-year warrant (the Warrant) to purchase 43,478,261 shares of Company Common Stock (subject to adjustment), representing approximately 40% of the economic equity interest in the Company following the Merger on a fully-diluted basis. Thereafter, the Zell Entity assigned a minority interest in the Subordinated Note and Warrant to certain permitted assignees. The Warrant has an initial aggregate exercise price of $500 million, increasing by $10 million per year for the first ten years of the Warrant, for a maximum aggregate exercise price of $600 million (subject to adjustment). The Subordinated Note and the Warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits (d)(45) and (d)(46), respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
4
As a result of the Merger, the registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the Company Common Stock will be terminated upon application to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company Common Stock will no longer be listed on any exchange or quotation system, including the New York Stock Exchange.
Item 16. Exhibits.
Item 16 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:
