This Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended and together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2020 by Cards Acquisition Inc. (“Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Cards Parent LP (“Parent”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Purchaser for any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares”), of Collectors Universe, Inc. (“Collectors Universe”), a Delaware corporation, at a price of $92.00 per Share, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated December 17, 2020 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer.”

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

The Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended and supplemented to include the foregoing:

“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight, New York time, on February 5, 2021 (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on February 5, 2021. The Depositary has advised Purchaser that a total of 5,179,075 Shares (including the Turner Rollover Shares, but excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in satisfaction of such guarantee in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL) were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer prior to the Expiration Time (or, in the case of the Turner Rollover Shares, are counted as if they were tendered for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Condition was satisfied in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL), representing approximately 57% of the outstanding Shares as of the Expiration Time. In addition, the Depositary has advised Purchaser that Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered with respect to 1,093,255 additional Shares prior to the Expiration Time, representing approximately 12% of the outstanding Shares as of the Expiration Time.

The number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in satisfaction of such guarantee in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL) plus the Turner Rollover Shares satisfies the Minimum Condition, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or (to the extent waivable) waived. Promptly after the Expiration Date, all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer have been accepted for payment by Purchaser. Purchaser will promptly pay for all such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

As a result of its acceptance for payment of the Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, Purchaser intends to effect the closing of the Merger on February 8, 2021, without a vote of the stockholders of Collectors Universe in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares: (a) owned by Parent, Purchaser or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or Collectors Universe or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Collectors Universe; (b) held by stockholders of Collectors Universe who have properly and validly exercised, and not withdrawn or otherwise lost, their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL; and (c) any “excluded stock” within the meaning of Section 251(h)(6) of the DGCL, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Turner Rollover Shares) will be converted into the right to receive $$92.00 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

The full text of the press release issued by Collectors Universe on February 8, 2021, announcing the expiration, the results and the successful completion of the Offer, is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(J) and is incorporated by reference herein.”

CLCT Closing Transaction Release

Investor Group Led by Entrepreneur and Collector Nat Turner Successfully Completes Tender

Offer for Shares of Collectors Universe

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., February 8, 2021— Collectors Universe (NASDAQ: CLCT) (“Collectors Universe” or the “Company”), a leading provider of value-added authentication and grading services to dealers and collectors of collectibles, and the investor group led by entrepreneur and sports card collector Nat Turner, D1 Capital Partners L.P., and Cohen Private Ventures, LLC (the “Investor Group”), today announced the successful completion of the Investor Group’s tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Collectors Universe’s common stock for $92.00 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes, net to the seller in cash.

Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the depositary for the tender offer, has advised that as of one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, at the end of the day on February 5, 2021, the expiration of the tender offer, 5,179,075 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer (including rollover shares deemed to be tendered for purposes of determining whether the minimum condition was satisfied), representing approximately 57% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. All of such shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the tender offer, and the Investor Group will promptly pay for such shares, other than the rollover shares. In addition, 1,093,255 shares were delivered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. When taken together, the shares tendered and delivered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures represent approximately 69% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Investor Group intends to complete its acquisition of Collectors Universe today through the merger of Cards Acquisition Inc., an entity controlled by the Investor Group, with and into Collectors Universe. A vote of Collectors Universe’s shareholders is not required to complete the merger. In connection with the merger, any remaining outstanding shares will be converted into the right to receive $92.00 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes, net to the seller in cash, the same consideration received by shareholders who tendered their shares in the tender offer. Upon completion of the merger, Collectors Universe will become a privately held company and its common stock will cease trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains statements regarding Collectors Universe’s expectations, beliefs or views about its pending acquisition by an investor group (the “Transaction”), including the anticipated timing of the Transaction, all of which constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements can often be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.”

Due to a number of risks and uncertainties to which its business and its markets are subject, Collectors Universe’s future financial performance may differ, possibly significantly, from expectations regarding its future financial performance that are expressed in, or that may be implied or inferred from the discussion in, this news release. Those risks and uncertainties, and their possible impact on Collectors Universe’s future financial performance, include, but are not limited to, the following: potential litigation relating to the Transaction; risks that the Transaction disrupts the current plans and operations of Collectors Universe; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; Collectors Universe’s continued dependence on its coins, and cards and autographs businesses, which historically have generated more than 90% of Collectors Universe’s total consolidated revenues and a substantial portion of its operating income, which make its operating results more vulnerable to conditions that could adversely affect those businesses, such as the volatility of precious metals prices that could adversely affect its coin revenues; the risk that Collectors Universe’s future operating results could deteriorate if recently released COVID-19 vaccines permit a return to more normal living and working conditions and consumer interest in its collectibles markets consequently declines; the risk that it may become necessary for Collectors Universe to reduce the amount of, or suspend or discontinue the payment of cash dividends in the future, due to conditions or circumstances outside of its control or due to adverse financial performance and the cash needs of its business in the future; the risk that domestic or international economic conditions may deteriorate as a result of events outside of Collectors Universe’s control, which could lead to reductions in the demand for its collectibles authentication and grading services and, consequently, in its revenues and operating results; the risk that the weakness or volatility of economic conditions will lead to longer-term changes in the spending habits of consumers and in the availability and use of credit by smaller businesses, such as collectibles dealers, to fund purchases of collectibles, which could lead to longer-term declines in collectibles commerce and, therefore, in the demand for Collectors Universe’s services; the risks that claims under Collectors Universe’s coin and trading card authentication and grading warranties will increase substantially and that the warranty reserves that it maintains for such claims will prove to be inadequate, which could cause its gross profit margin and operating results to decline or cause Collectors Universe to incur operating losses; the risk that Collectors Universe’s strategies of offering services in newer geographic areas, such as Europe and Asia, or potentially investing in new lines of business, will not be successful in enabling it to improve its profitability or may even cause Collectors Universe to incur significant losses; and the risks and added complexity of conducting business overseas.
