Schedule I to this statement lists the names, occupations and addresses of, and other information with respect to, the directors and executive officers of Harris (collectively, the "Individuals"). 4 - --------------------------- ------------------------ CUSIP No. 51589L10-5 Page 4 of 15 - --------------------------- ------------------------ Neither Harris nor, to the best knowledge of Harris, any of the Individuals has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). Neither Harris nor, to the best knowledge of Harris, any of the Individuals has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it or he or she 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. Harris is a Delaware corporation, and each of the Individuals is a citizen of the United States. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Until November 5, 1999, the Issuer was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris. On November 5, 1999, Harris distributed 79,068,788 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to the stockholders of record of Harris's common stock as of November 1, 1999 (the "Distribution"), which shares constituted approximately 90% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date, and retained the 8,785,958 shares of Common Stock to which this statement relates. As a result of the Distribution, the Issuer became an independent public company which is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Distribution is more fully described in the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form 10 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 1999 (File No. 1-15139), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Schedule 13D relates to a Voting and Tender Agreement, dated as of November 29, 2000 ("Voting and Tender Agreement") between Harris, Ricoh Company, Ltd. ("Ricoh") and LW Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ricoh ("Merger Sub"), which agreement is described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. The Issuer, Ricoh and Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of November 29, 2000. Pursuant to the 5 - --------------------------- ------------------------ CUSIP No. 51589L10-5 Page 5 of 15 - --------------------------- ------------------------ Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will offer to acquire all of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") at a price of $3.00 per share in cash. Following completion of the Tender Offer and receipt of the Issuer's stockholder approval, if required, the Issuer will merge (the "Merger") with Merger Sub and each share of Common Stock not tendered in the Tender Offer will be converted into the right to receive $3.00 in cash. As a result of the Merger, the Issuer will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ricoh. The Merger Agreement provides for Ricoh to commence the Tender Offer no later than December 13, 2000, for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The closing of the Tender Offer and Merger are subject to the completion of the pending sale of the Issuer's voice products business and to customary terms and conditions, including the tender of the number of shares of Common Stock that constitute at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis and receipt of all necessary government approvals, including expiration or termination of the appropriate waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and approval of European Union anti-trust authorities. This summary of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 4. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Harris, Ricoh and Merger Sub entered into the Voting and Tender Agreement, pursuant to which Harris agreed, among other things, to tender its shares of Issuer Common Stock in the Tender Offer within ten (10) business days following the commencement of the Tender Offer (or, if later, five (5) business days following Harris' receipt of the applicable Tender Offer documents). The Voting and Tender Agreement also provides that Harris shall not, subject to applicable law, withdraw the tender of the Issuer Common Stock, except if (a) Ricoh or Merger Sub amend the Tender Offer without Harris' consent or reduce the price per share below $3.00 net to the seller in cash, (b) Harris is prohibited by a governmental authority from tendering the Issuer Common Stock, or (c) the Issuer's Board of Directors has not recommended to the stockholders of the Issuer, or has withdrawn its recommendation, that the stockholders tender their shares pursuant to the Tender Offer and approve the Merger Agreement and the subsequent Merger. In addition, the Voting and Tender Agreement provides that Harris shall not transfer, sell, give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in, or otherwise dispose or transfer (whether by operation of law or by agreement or otherwise) any of its Issuer Common Stock or any right, 6 - --------------------------- ------------------------ CUSIP No. 51589L10-5 Page 6 of 15 - --------------------------- ------------------------ title, or interest therein or thereto or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. In the Voting and Tender Agreement Harris has made customary representations and warranties to Ricoh and Merger Sub including a representation and warranty relating to Harris' title to the Issuer Common Stock owned by it. Ricoh and Merger Sub have also made customary representations and warranties to Harris. In the Voting and Tender Agreement Harris also agreed that, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer and in any action by consent of the stockholders of the Issuer, Harris will vote its Issuer Common Stock in a manner consistent with Section 2.01(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) which agreement provides that Harris will vote its Issuer Common Stock proportionally to the votes of all of the other voting shares of the Issuer. The Voting and Tender Agreement contains various covenants of Harris, including the following: (a) Harris will not enter into any agreement or grant a proxy or power of attorney with respect to its Issuer Common Stock that is inconsistent with the Voting and Tender Agreement. (b) Harris shall not by any action or omission cause any security interests, liens, claims, pledges, charges, encumbrances, options, rights of first refusal, or agreements or limitations on its voting rights to attach to its Issuer Common Stock. (c) Harris shall not and shall not authorize or permit any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives (including without limitation any investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys or accountants) to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate discussions or negotiate with, or provide any information to any person or group (other than Ricoh) concerning any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the voting and Tender Agreement) or make a public announcement in support of any Acquisition Proposal or that encourages stockholders of the Issuer not to support the Tender Offer and the Merger. (d) Harris shall immediately advise Ricoh in writing of any Acquisition Proposal that it receives and provide Ricoh with any such proposal, if the proposal is in writing, or with a written summary of any oral proposal. 7 - --------------------------- ------------------------ CUSIP No. 51589L10-5 Page 7 of 15 - --------------------------- ------------------------ (e) Harris waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that it may have under the provisions of the applicable Delaware corporate law or otherwise. The Voting and Tender Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the effective time of the Merger, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) the termination of the Voting and Tender Agreement at the written election of Harris in the event that Harris is entitled to decline or withdraw tender of its Issuer Common Stock under the agreement, and (iv) by written notice given by Harris to Ricoh if the Tender Offer has not been effected by the 120th day following November 29, 2000. This summary of the Voting and Tender Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting and Tender Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 4. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the Voting and Tender Agreement, Harris, Ricoh and the Issuer also entered into a Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") which provides that (i) Harris waives certain provisions of Section 2.04(b) of the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, dated as of November 5, 1999, between Harris and the Issuer (the "Tax Agreement") as such section relates to the Issuer's negotiation of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger by the Issuer, and (ii) that the negotiation and consummation of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Voting and Tender Agreement) would not be deemed impermissible Harris Tainting Acts (as such term is defined in the Tax Agreement). Generally, Tainting Acts are acts which could, if undertaken, in certain circumstances result in the Distribution resulting in a gain to Harris for tax purposes. This summary of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 4. The discussion of the Tax Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tax Agreement which is incorporated as Exhibit 4 hereto and is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 4. Harris has no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions set forth herein. 8 - --------------------------- ------------------------ CUSIP No. 51589L10-5 Page 8 of 15 - --------------------------- ------------------------ ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. - --------------------------------------------- Harris directly and beneficially owns 8,785,958 shares, or approximately 10.4%, of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer on the date hereof. Harris possesses sole voting and dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned by it. The beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Individuals is set forth on Schedule I to this Schedule 13D. Except as described in Item 4 hereof and as shown on Schedule I hereto, neither Harris nor, to the best knowledge of Harris, any of the Individuals has effected other transactions in the securities of the Issuer in the last sixty days. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
