Cerberus Amends Cash Tender Offer

For The Outstanding Shares in BlueLinx Holdings Inc. Not Owned by Its Affiliate

To Add The Positive Recommendation of Special Committee as a Condition

 

Cerberus ABP Investor LLC (“CAI”), an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”), and owner of a 55.37% majority stake in BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BXC) (“BlueLinx” or the “Company”), today announced that it has amended its offer (the “Offer”) for all of the outstanding publicly held shares of BlueLinx (the “Shares”) not owned by CAI.

 

CAI and Cerberus have amended their tender offer statement and Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide that CAI and Cerberus will not be required to and will not accept for payment any tendered Shares, and may amend or terminate the Offer, if the special committee of independent directors of the Company’s board of directors shall have failed to amend its “Solicitation/Recommendation Statement” on Schedule 14D-9 to affirmatively recommend the Offer, or the Offer as amended, or shall have subsequently withdrawn or amended or modified in any manner adverse to CAI or Cerberus (whether by further amendment to the Company’s Schedule 14D-9 or otherwise) such affirmative recommendation of the Offer, or the Offer as amended, at any time on or prior to the expiration date of the Offer (the “Special Committee Recommendation Condition”).  The Special Committee Recommendation Condition is not waivable.  All other terms and conditions, including the offer price of $3.40 per share in cash, set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 2, 2010 as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated August 13, 2010 and Amendment No. 2, dated August 19, 2010 to the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, remain unchanged.  CAI and Cerberus expect to promptly mail a supplement to stockholders of the Company to reflect the addition of the Special Committee Recommendation Condition.

 

The Offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on Friday, September 3, 2010, unless extended.

 

The depositary for the Offer has informed CAI and Cerberus that, as of 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 19, 2010, approximately 14,353 Shares have been tendered and not withdrawn.

The purpose of this supplement is to advise stockholders of BlueLinx Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), that the offer by Cerberus ABP Investor LLC (“Purchaser”) and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not owned by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, dated August 2, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”) has been amended and supplemented as follows:

 

·                  Extended Expiration Date.  As previously announced on August 13, 2010, the expiration date of the Offer (as defined below) has been extended until midnight, New York City time, on Friday, September 3, 2010, unless further extended.

 

·                  Additional Condition.  In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 12 of the Offer to Purchase, notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, and in addition to (and not in limitation of) Purchaser and Cerberus’ rights to extend and amend the Offer at any time in its sole discretion, Purchaser and Cerberus will not be required to and will not accept for payment any tendered Shares, and may amend or terminate the Offer, if the Special Committee shall have failed to amend its “Solicitation/Recommendation Statement” on Schedule 14D-9 to affirmatively recommend the Offer, or the Offer as amended, or shall have subsequently withdrawn or amended or modified in any manner adverse to Purchaser or Cerberus (whether by further amendment to the Company’s Schedule 14D-9 or otherwise) such affirmative recommendation of the Offer, or the Offer as amended, at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date (the “Special Committee Recommendation Condition”).  The Special Committee Recommendation Condition is not waivable.

 

Purchaser, a Delaware limited liability company, and Cerberus, a Delaware limited partnership, are offering to purchase all of the Company’s outstanding shares not owned by Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 2, 2010 and the related Letter of Transmittal, as such documents have been amended and supplemented  by this Supplement and by Amendment No. 1, dated August 13, 2010, and Amendment No. 2, dated August 19, 2010, to the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  We refer to this offer, as so amended and supplemented, as the “Offer”.  These documents may be obtained for free by contacting the Dealer Manager for the Offer, BofA Merrill Lynch, at (888) 803-9655 (Toll-Free).  These documents and other important information regarding the Offer may also be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

Offer, Purchaser will own a number of Shares representing at least 90% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the date the Shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.  Other conditions to the Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase.

 

The Offer is being made without obtaining the prior approval or recommendation of the Company’s board of directors or the special committee thereof.  The Company filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 dated August 13, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which it stated that the Special Committee was unable to take a position with respect to the Offer at that time.

 

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE; PASSED ON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS; OR PASSED ON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE.
