Item 1.Security and Issuer.

 

This Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Computer Task Group, Incorporated, a New York corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer reports that its principal executive offices are located at 800 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14209.

 

Item 2.Identity and Background.

 

(a, f) This Statement is filed by the following (each, a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): (i) AGS SPV I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SPV”); (ii) Assurance Global Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AGS”); (iii) James M. Lindstrom, a U.S. citizen (“Mr. Lindstrom”); and (iv) Wax Asset Management, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“WAM”). AGS is the sole managing member of SPV, and Mr. Lindstrom is the sole member of AGS. Evan Wax is the President of WAM.

 

The Reporting Persons are making this single joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, the Reporting Persons are each party to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Statement included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Statement. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Statement. Each Reporting Person provided only the information as to himself or itself and his or its affiliates and did not independently verify the information contained in this Statement provided by any other Reporting Person. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock of which such Reporting Person does not have a pecuniary interest.

 

(b) The principal business address of SPV, AGS and Mr. Lindstrom is 330 Railroad Ave., 2nd Floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830. The principal business address of WAM is 44 Cherry Lane, Madison, Connecticut 06443.

 

(c) The principal business of SPV is as a special purpose vehicle formed solely for the purpose of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Common Stock of the Issuer. The principal business of AGS is serving as a platform to invest in a limited number of publicly-traded and private businesses. Mr. Lindstrom’s principal business occupation is acting as the sole managing member of AGS.

 

The principal business of WAM is to operate as an investment advisory firm and to acquire, hold and dispose of investments.

 

(d) None of the Reporting Persons or any of their partners, managers, officers or other controlling persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

(e) None of the Reporting Persons or any of their partners, managers, officers or other controlling persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The total cost for purchasing the Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by SPV, including brokerage commissions, was approximately $1,941,670, which was funded using working capital of SPV and Mr. Lindstrom’s personal funds. SPV and Mr. Lindstrom may effect purchases of securities through the use of margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business, subject to applicable rules and regulations. AGS, as the sole managing member of SPV, and Mr. Lindstrom, as the sole member of AGS, may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by SPV.

 

The total cost for purchases of Common Stock by WAM, on behalf of its customers, including brokerage commissions, was approximately $1,573,494 (including shares held in WAM customer accounts for Mr. Lindstrom). The source of funds for the shares of Common Stock acquired for the accounts of WAM’s customers were funds of such customers.

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 205477102 13D Page 7 of 12 Pages

  

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the above reported shares of Common Stock based on their belief that the Common Stock is undervalued and represents an attractive investment opportunity.

 

AGS and its affiliates believe that it is in the best interest of the Issuer’s constituents to consider a transaction where the Issuer would be acquired by AGS or an affiliate of AGS. On May 21, 2019, AGS sent a letter to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer expressing its interest in engaging in discussions with the Issuer regarding a preliminary, non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding Common Stock at a proposed purchase price of $5.50 to $6.00 per share in cash, a 23% to 35% premium to the closing price of the Common Stock on May 20, 2019, the last trading date before the date of the letter.

 

On May 22, 2019, the Issuer sent AGS a non-disclosure agreement with a highly restrictive “standstill” provision, which AGS believes would not be in the best interest of stockholders and has not signed or agreed to abide by. Neither AGS nor any of its affiliates have received any confidential information from the Issuer.

 

On June 22, 2019, the Chairman of the Issuer emailed a response to AGS, informing AGS that the Issuer’s Board of Directors had concluded that AGS’s proposal significantly undervalued the Issuer and would not be in the best interests of the Issuer’s stockholders.

 

On or around June 24, 2019, WAM orally agreed with Mr. Lindstrom to support Mr. Lindstrom with respect to his efforts to communicate with the Board of Directors of the Issuer in an effort to maximize value for all of the Issuer’s stockholders. As of the date of this Statement, WAM has not determined that it would support a transaction involving the sale of the Issuer, but WAM would like the Board of Directors to engage in discussions with the Reporting Persons on how the Board of Directors may address challenges facing the Issuer’s business and the concerns raised by AGS in its communications with the Board of Directors. As a result of this oral agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and, accordingly, the Reporting Persons have determined to file this Statement as a group.

 

On July 10, 2019, AGS sent a second letter to the Chairman of the Issuer, setting forth an improved non-binding proposal to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at a proposed purchase price to $5.75 to $6.00 per share in cash, a 42% to 49% premium to the closing price of the Common Stock on July 9, 2019, the last trading day before the date of the letter. Among other things, AGS indicated that it would not seek to include a financing contingency in the definitive acquisition agreement and would agree to a “go shop” provision, to ensure the Issuer secured an appropriate premium for its stockholders.

 

On July 23, 2019, the Chairman of the Issuer sent a letter to AGS in response, rejecting the improved proposal.

 

On August 13, 2019, AGS contributed all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it in exchange for membership units in SPV. In addition, AGS and other parties contributed cash in exchange for membership interests in SPV, thereby providing SPV with additional sources of funding to purchase shares of Common Stock.

 

In response to the July 23, 2019 letter from the Issuer, on August 28, 2019, AGS sent a third letter (the “August 2019 Letter”) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, reaffirming its interest in acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the proposed, non-binding terms outlined in its July 10, 2019 letter. The proposal remains subject to AGS’s completion of customary due diligence and the negotiation and execution of mutually satisfactory definitive agreements. AGS also indicated its willingness to increase the proposed purchase price if the Issuer provided information showing the risk-adjusted value of the Issuer to be greater than the currently proposed purchase price. In addition, AGS informed the Issuer that it, through SPV, along with WAM, had acquired 5.7% of the Issuer’s Common Stock and would be filing this Statement. The foregoing description of the August 2019 Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the August 2019 Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 205477102 13D Page 8 of 12 Pages

  

AGS’s proposal may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock or a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any discussions related to AGS’s proposal or that the proposed transaction will be consummated. The Reporting Persons remain hopeful that the Board of Directors of the Issuer will agree to engage in discussions with the Reporting Persons, including exploring a potential transaction. In the meantime, the Reporting Persons intend to review the desirability of taking various steps that could assist in the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of the Issuer, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock on the open market and seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s Board of Directors, price levels of shares of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, market conditions, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or other financial instruments related to the Issuer or selling some or all of their beneficial or economic holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities relating to the Issuer, and/or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

In addition to potential discussions and actions relating to a potential sale transaction, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with members of the Board of Directors, the Issuer’s management, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or take other actions or make additional proposals concerning any extraordinary corporate transaction (including, but not limited to, a merger, acquisition, reorganization or liquidation) or the business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, operations, management, charter, bylaws, corporate documents, governance, the composition of the Board of Directors, dividend policy, strategy, de-listing, de-registration, prospects or future plans of the Issuer.

 

Except as set forth above, or as would occur upon completion of any of the matters discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer, the foregoing is subject to change at any time.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) SPV beneficially owns 448,471 shares of Common Stock, which represents 3.1% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. AGS, as managing member of SPV, and Mr. Lindstrom, as managing and sole member of AGS, may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of such shares. AGS and Mr. Lindstrom disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein.

 

WAM beneficially owns 381,602 shares of Common Stock, which represents 2.6% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. All of the shares of Common Stock that are indicated as beneficially owned by WAM are beneficially owned by WAM on behalf of its investment advisory clients. WAM is deemed to be a beneficial owner of those shares pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act due to its discretionary power to make investment decisions over such shares for its clients. In all cases, persons other than WAM have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares.

 

In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons acting as a group for purposes of Regulation 13D beneficially own 830,073 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 5.7% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Each percentage ownership of shares of Common Stock set forth in this Statement is based on 14,443,915 shares of Common Stock reported by the Issuer as outstanding as of July 31, 2019 in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 28, 2019.

 

(b) Each of SPV, AGS and Mr. Lindstrom have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to 448,471 shares of Common Stock. AGS, as managing member of SPV, and Mr. Lindstrom, as managing and sole member of AGS, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by SPV. AGS and Mr. Lindstrom disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein.

 

WAM has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 381,602 shares of Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 205477102 13D Page 9 of 12 Pages

  

The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

 

(c) The transactions effected by each of the Reporting Persons in the Common Stock during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule A to this Statement. Each of these transactions, other than the transfer of Common Stock from Mr. Lindstrom to AGS and the contribution of Common Stock from AGS to SPV, as described in Schedule A, was effected through the open market.

 

(d) Not applicable as to SPV, AGS and Mr. Lindstrom. All of the shares of Common Stock that are indicated as beneficially owned by WAM are beneficially owned by WAM on behalf of its investment advisory clients. In all cases, persons other than WAM have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The responses to Items 3 and 4 are incorporated herein by reference. Other than as disclosed in this Item 6, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between the Reporting Persons and any person with respect to securities of the Issuer.

 

The Reporting Persons have an informal oral agreement to act as a group for purposes of Regulation 13D solely with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. Except as otherwise set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Common Stock, and the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) or under any provision of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder or for any other purpose, any Reporting Person is a beneficial owner of any such shares. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons have entered into an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Statement, which agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference.

Board of Directors

Computer Task Group, Incorporated

Buffalo, NY 14209

Attn: Daniel Sullivan, Chairman of the Board

Dear Members of the Board of Directors:

 

This letter is in response to your July 23, 2019 letter in which you informed Assurance Global Services, LLC (“AGS” or “we”) that the Board of Computer Task Group, Incorporated (“CTG” or the “Company”) does not wish to engage in further dialogue regarding AGS’ interest in acquiring all of the common stock of CTG. We are disappointed by this conclusion and continue to believe that our proposal is compelling and in the best interests of all relevant CTG constituents.

 

As you know, I am a native of Buffalo, NY, who formed AGS in 2018 to acquire or invest in companies, such as CTG, that can benefit from AGS’ deep investment and operating experience in companies undergoing strategic transitions. Specifically, the experience and interests of AGS and its partners are in the IT, healthcare, financial and business services sectors. Given our familiarity with CTG and the industry generally, we are uniquely positioned to work with Mr. Gydé and his team to transform CTG into a world-class, Buffalo-based IT service leader.

 

We first evidenced our desire to acquire CTG in a letter to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of CTG dated May 21, 2019. This letter set forth our non-binding proposal pursuant to which, subject to additional due diligence, AGS would acquire all of the outstanding shares of CTG for $5.50-$6.00 in cash. On May 22, 2019, Mr. Gydé sent AGS a non-disclosure agreement with a highly restrictive standstill provision that remains unsigned. Thereafter, without any substantive discussion with AGS, CTG’s Chairman emailed AGS on June 22, 2019 to inform us that our proposal, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, significantly undervalued the Company and would not be in the best interests of CTG’s shareholders at that time. The per share purchase price proposed by AGS in our letter represented a premium of 23%-35% to the closing price of CTG’s common stock on May 20, 2019, the last trading day before the date of our letter.

 

AGS subsequently submitted an improved non-binding proposal dated July 10, 2019, enhancing the proposed price range to $5.75-$6.00 per share in cash. In this second letter, AGS indicated that it would not seek to include in the definitive acquisition agreement a financing contingency and would accept the inclusion of a robust “go shop” provision to ensure that the shareholders of CTG would have an opportunity to receive a higher price for their shares in the event that other potential purchasers of the Company wished to make a superior proposal. We had also informed the Board of Directors that in order to finance the acquisition of CTG, we had partnered with a world-class family office of an investor with an exemplary multi-decade track record at a top-tier, global private equity firm. Again, without any substantive discussion with AGS, we were notified, in your July 23, 2019 letter referred to above, that our proposal was rejected. The enhanced proposed per share price in our second letter represented a premium of 42%-49% to the closing price of the common stock on July 9, 2019, the last trading day before the date of our letter.

 

We remain firmly of the view that our proposal provides CTG shareholders with attractive value and certainty compared to the Company’s past plans to improve operating performance, originally outlined in its January 2017 letter to shareholders. If management and the Board possess information that would show the risk-adjusted value of CTG to be greater than our non-binding offer, we are open to receiving the details underlying those projections so that we can, if we consider it appropriate, revise our proposal accordingly.  AGS is willing to execute a non-disclosure agreement containing a standstill that is appropriately revised to protect the interest of both parties and the Company’s shareholders.

 

AGS is highly confident that our most recently proposed transaction could occur expeditiously, subject to customary due diligence. We believe our proposal is compelling and in the best interests of all constituents, including your shareholders, employees and customers. As a reminder, this letter and proposal constitute a preliminary, non-binding indication of interest in pursuing a negotiated transaction to acquire all of the common stock of the Company and are not intended to create any legally binding obligations.

 

As an expression of our commitment to move forward with this proposed transaction, and as a courtesy, I wanted to let you know that AGS and Wax Asset Management will be filing a Form 13D with the SEC later today or tomorrow indicating that we have accumulated a 5.7% equity stake in CTG.

 

We look forward to engaging with you in a constructive dialogue in the pursuit of maximizing value, while reducing risk, for all shareholders.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ James Lindstrom
