The calculation of the transaction value is based on information provided by ZipRealty as of July 14, 2014. |

This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 16, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the Schedule TO) and relates to the offer by Honeycomb Acquisition, Inc. (Purchaser), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Realogy Group LLC (Realogy), to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (individually, a Share and collectively, the Shares), of ZipRealty, Inc. (ZipRealty), for $6.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 16, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the Offer to Purchase), and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
This Amendment No. 5 is being filed to amend and supplement Items 1 through 12 as reflected below.
Items 1-11. |
Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below:
The Offer expired at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on August 13, 2014. The Depositary & Paying Agent for the Offer has advised Realogy and Purchaser that, as of such time, an aggregate of 16,755,368 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 76.48% of the Shares then outstanding and approximately 67.22% of the Shares then outstanding on a fully diluted basis. In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered with respect to 821,068 Shares, representing approximately 3.75% of the Shares then outstanding. The aggregate number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfies the Minimum Condition that at least a majority of the outstanding Shares, on a fully diluted basis, be validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. Accordingly, all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied, and Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. Payment for such Shares will be made promptly in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
On August 14, 2014, Purchaser exercised the Top-Up Option to purchase from ZipRealty a number of Shares equal to the lowest number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Realogy and Purchaser at the time of such exercise, constituted one Share more than 90% of the Shares then outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares.
Following the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Purchaser will effect the Merger pursuant to the short-form merger procedures set forth in Section 253 of the DGCL. As a result, on August 14, 2014, Purchaser will merge with and into ZipRealty, with ZipRealty surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Realogy. At the Effective Time, all remaining issued and outstanding Shares not tendered in the Offer, other than Shares owned by ZipRealty, Purchaser, Realogy, any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries or ZipRealty stockholders who validly exercised their appraisal rights in connection with the Merger, will be converted into the right to receive the same cash price of $6.75 per Share paid in the Offer, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Following the Merger, Realogy will cause the Shares to be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market.
The press release issued by Realogy Holdings Corp. on August 14, 2014 in connection with the expiration of the Offer is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(D) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
