Item 3.03                     Material Modification to Rights of Securities Holders

 

As previously announced, on May 10, 2010, Zale Corporation (“Zale”) entered into a Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement with Z Investment Holdings, LLC.  The warrants (the “Warrants”) issued under the Agreement were issued in two series, A-Warrants exercisable for 6,389,378 shares of Common Stock, and B-Warrants exercisable for 4,675,306 shares of Common Stock.  The B-Warrants, and in the event of certain anti-dilution adjustments a portion of the A-Warrants as well, initially were exercisable for shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and not shares of Common Stock). The terms of the Warrants provided that upon stockholder approval, which Zale was obligated to attempt to obtain, these two portions of the Warrants instead would be exercisable for Common Stock.  On July 23, 2010, Zale’s stockholders approved the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of these two portions of the Warrants and, as a result, all of the Warrants are now immediately exercisable for shares Common Stock.

 

Item 5.07                     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On July 23, 2010, Zale’s stockholders approved the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of the Warrants.  The vote was 17,418,832 “for,” 235,945 “against,” and 19,287 “abstain.”
