Titanium Asset Management Corp
10 October 2013
Titanium Asset Management and TAMCO Holdings, LLC announce
Satisfaction and Waiver of Tender Conditions and Extend Tender
Offer
Milwaukee, WI - October 10, 2013 - Titanium Asset Management
Corp. (AIM - TAM) (the "Company") and TAMCO Holdings, LLC
("Parent") announce the satisfaction and waiver of certain
conditions in the tender offer, as previously announced on
September 12, 2013, by TAMCO Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser"), for all of the outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $1.08 per
share, net to the seller in cash without interest (the "Offer").
Purchaser has satisfied the condition that an aggregate number of
shares be tendered so that the number of shares tendered when added
to the number of shares owned by Parent plus the shares to be
issued in the top up option will exceed 90% of the outstanding
shares of the Company. Purchaser has waived the condition that a
majority of the shares held by stockholders other than Parent,
Purchaser, any direct or indirect equity holder of Parent, and
certain directors and executive officers of Parent and the Company
or its subsidiaries be tendered in the Offer.
Purchaser expects to satisfy the financing condition in the
Offer on October 10, 2013. Accordingly, Purchaser has extended the
Offer to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 18, 2013, unless
further extended. Stockholders who have not previously tendered
their shares of Company common stock in the Offer may do so until
the new expiration time.
The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at midnight, New
York City time, on October 9, 2013. The period has been extended in
order to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
guidelines that require a tender offer to expire no less than five
business days after the satisfaction or waiver of a financing
condition or certain other material conditions. Upon satisfaction
of the financing condition, the Company and Parent will make a
further announcement confirming the satisfaction of that
condition.
The Offer is being made pursuant to the merger agreement that
the Company, Parent and Purchaser entered into and announced on
September 6, 2013. All other terms and conditions of the Offer and
the merger agreement remain unchanged.
The depository for the Offer has advised that as of midnight,
New York City time, on October 9, 2013, 4,905,784 shares of common
stock of the Company had been tendered and not withdrawn pursuant
to the Offer, including 886,954 shares tendered pursuant to the
guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.
The 4,905,784 tendered shares, together with 10,585,400 shares of
common stock of the Company beneficially owned by Parent, represent
approximately 78.5% of all issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company.
