Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase. Item 1. Summary Term Sheet The first sentence on the cover page of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended to read as follows: THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON TUESDAY, JULY 9, 2002, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED. Question and Answer No. 4 on page 1 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended to read as follows: 4. Q. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO TENDER IN THE OFFER? A. You have until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 9, 2002. Under certain circumstances, we may extend the offer. If the offer is extended, we will issue a press release announcing the extension on the first business morning following the date the offer was scheduled to expire. See Section 1. Question and Answer No. 12 on page 2 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended to read as follows: 12. Q. HAVE ANY STOCKHOLDERS ALREADY DECIDED TO TENDER THEIR SHARES? A. Yes. Comerica Incorporated, Beranson Holdings, Inc. and Michaella Stern, the controlling stockholder of Beranson Holdings and widow of Kenneth Stern, Official Payments' founder and former president and director, have each agreed to tender all of their outstanding shares of Official Payments stock and shares underlying Official Payments stock options in the offer. Their shares represent approximately 14.6 million shares of issued and outstanding common stock. These shares represent approximately 63.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Official Payments and approximately 55.8% of the shares on a fully-diluted basis (giving effect to the exercise of all options exercisable at an exercise price of $3.00 or less per share, whether or not exercised at the time of determination). Item 2. Subject Company Information (b) The second sentence of the first paragraph on page 6 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: The term "Expiration Date" means 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 9, 2002, unless and until Purchaser, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, but subject to the limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, extends the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which event the term "Expiration Date" means the time and date at which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire. The last sentence of the first full paragraph on page 7 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: For purposes of the Offer, a "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a Federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, New York City time. The fourth sentence of the second full paragraph on page 7 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: In telephone interpretations released in July 2001, the SEC expressed the view that adding a Subsequent Offering Period would not require advance notice provided the following conditions were satisfied: (a) the initial offering material disclosed that the Purchaser may include a Subsequent Offering Period and describes what a Subsequent Offering Period is; (b) in the notice announcing the results of the initial Offer period required by Rule 14d-11(d), Purchaser announces and begins the Subsequent Offering Period; and (c) if Purchaser has definitively decided or is contractually obligated to provide a Subsequent Offering Period, the initial offer to purchase must disclose this information and may not merely reserve the right to provide a Subsequent Offering Period. However, if Purchaser announces that it will provide a Subsequent Offering Period and later decides not to provide such a period, that would constitute a material change to the Offer which would require five days' advance notice. Item 4. Terms of the Transaction (a)(1)(i-viii, xii) The information contained in Item 2(b) above is incorporated by reference herein. The paragraph beginning on page 11 and continuing onto page 12 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: EACH STOCKHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE OFFER AND THE MERGER, INCLUDING FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES. The first paragraph under the heading "14. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER" on page 27 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: For the purposes of this Section 14, capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement. In all events, all conditions to the Offer, other than those dependent on the receipt of necessary government approvals, must be satisfied or waived before the expiration of the Offer. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer, Purchaser shall not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Purchaser's obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of or, subject to the restriction referred to above, the payment for, any tendered Shares, and may terminate or amend the Offer, if (i) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has not expired or terminated, (ii) the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied, or (iii) at any time on or after May 30, 2002 and (except in the case of clause (a), (b) or (g)) continuing in effect for a period of 10 days following notice by the Parent to the Company, any of the following events shall occur (other than as a result of any action or inaction of Parent or any of its subsidiaries which constitutes a breach of this Agreement): The paragraph immediately following paragraph (h) on page 28 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: which in the reasonable judgment of Parent or Purchaser, in any such case, and regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition makes it inadvisable to proceed with the Merger, the Offer and/or with such acceptance for payment of or payment for Shares. The first full paragraph on page 29 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Purchaser, may be waived by Parent or Purchaser, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, prior to the expiration of the Offer, in the sole discretion of Parent or Purchaser. The failure by Parent or Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, all conditions to the Offer, other than those dependent on the receipt of necessary government approvals, must be satisfied of waived before the expiration of the Offer. Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration (a) The last sentence of the paragraph under the heading "12. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS" on page 27 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows: Parent expects to fund any necessary capital contributions or advances to Purchaser through the use of cash on hand and other internally generated funds. Item 11. Additional Information (a) The information contained in Item 2(b) above is incorporated by reference herein. (b) On June 20, 2002, Parent issued a press release regarding extension of the Offer until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 9, 2002, the full text of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(B) to this Amendment No. 2 on Schedule TO and incorporated by reference herein.
