Introduction
This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (the “Schedule 13E-3” or the “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by: (i) American Financial Group, Inc. (“AFG”), an Ohio corporation, (ii) Great American Insurance Company (“Parent”), an Ohio corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of AFG, (iii) GAIC Alloy, Inc. (“Merger Sub” and, together with Parent, “Purchasers”), an Ohio corporation, and (iv) National Interstate Corporation (the “Company”), an Ohio corporation (collectively, the “Filing Persons”).
This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 25, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of August 15, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, if the conditions to the closing of the merger are either satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Ohio law as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, each common share of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), that is issued and outstanding at the effective time of the Merger (other than Common Shares (a) held by Parent or Merger Sub, (b) held by the Company in treasury or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or (c) held by holders of Common Shares who have properly demanded dissenters’ rights) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $32.00, in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that the Company will declare a special cash dividend of $0.50 per Common Share payable immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger to shareholders of record as of such time. Upon completion of the Merger, the Common Shares will no longer be publicly traded, and shareholders (other than Parent) will cease to have any ownership interest in the Company.
The board of directors of the Company, with the exception of directors Joseph E. (Jeff) Consolino, Ronald J. Brichler, Gary J. Gruber and Donald D. Larson (the “Affiliated Directors”), who are senior executives of Parent or AFG and who recused themselves from such determinations, and based in part on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of directors (who are independent for purposes of serving on the special committee) that was established to evaluate and negotiate a potential transaction (as described more fully in the Proxy Statement (as defined below)), has unanimously (a) determined that the Merger Agreement and business combination and related transactions contemplated thereby are fair and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders (other than Purchasers and their affiliates (assuming for this purpose that the Company and its subsidiaries are not affiliates of the Purchasers), to whom we sometimes refer in this Schedule 13E-3 as the “Public Shareholders”), (b) approved the Merger Agreement and the business combination and related transactions contemplated thereby, and (c) resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the business combination and related transactions contemplated thereby. The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing provided for in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of common shares entitled to at least two-thirds of the voting power of the Company and (ii) at least a majority of all outstanding Common Shares owned by the Public Shareholders in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement.
Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC its definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors is soliciting proxies from shareholders of the Company in connection with the Merger.
