Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     The information set forth in Item 3.03 related to the Amendment (as defined therein) is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
     On August 30, 2006, the Company and Computershare Investor Services, LLC (“Computershare”) entered into an Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) dated as of August 6, 2003 between the Company and Computershare (as successor to SunTrust Bank as Rights Agent), as amended, regarding the Company’s common stock purchase rights.
     The Amendment amends the definition of “Acquiring Person” for purposes of the Rights Agreement. Previously, the Rights Agreement excluded from the definition of Acquiring Person certain Beneficial Owners (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of more than 5% of the Company’s Common Shares (as defined in the Rights Agreement) as of the close of business on April 29, 2003. Such grandfathered shareholders were also permitted by the Rights Agreement to acquire 1% of the Common Shares in addition to their April 29, 2003 holdings without becoming an Acquiring Person. As amended by the Amendment, the Rights Agreement provides that certain Beneficial Owners will be excluded from the definition of Acquiring Person if they beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than 5% of the Common Shares as of the close of business on August 30, 2006. The Amendment also provides that any such grandfathered shareholder will become an Acquiring Person if such shareholder becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares, including any acquisitions of any Common Shares that occur after disposing of any Common Shares beneficially owned by such shareholder on August 30, 2006.
     The description contained herein of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of such document, which is attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by this reference.

     THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”), is entered into as of the 30th day of August, 2006, by and between CROWN CRAFTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES, LLC (successor to SunTrust Bank) (the “Rights Agent”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
     WHEREAS, the Company and the Rights Agent entered into that certain Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated as of August 6, 2003, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated as of July 12, 2006 (as so amended, the “Rights Agreement”);
     WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement permits the amendment of the Rights Agreement by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); and
     WHEREAS, pursuant to a resolution duly adopted as of August 21, 2006, the Board authorized and directed the execution and delivery of this Amendment;
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Rights Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
     1. Amendment of Section 1(a). Section 1(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the text of such Section 1(a) in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:
     “(a) “Acquiring Person” shall mean any Person (as such term is hereinafter defined) who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates (as such terms are hereinafter defined) of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner (as such term is hereinafter defined) of 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, but shall not include:
(i) the Company;
(ii) any Subsidiary (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Company;
(iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company;
(iv) any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan;

 


 

(v) E. Randall Chestnut or any of his lineal descendants or any trust of which he or any such descendant is a trustee, so long as Mr. Chestnut, any such descendant and any such trust do not beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than 15% of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; or
(vi) any Person whose ownership (together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person) of 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding will, in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, not jeopardize or endanger the availability to the Company of its net operating loss carryforwards to be used to offset its taxable income in such year or future years.
     The Persons described in clauses (i) through (vi) above are referred to herein as “Exempt Persons.”
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Person shall become an “Acquiring Person” as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person to 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, provided that if a Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares of the Company, then such Person shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person”; (ii) any Person who would otherwise qualify as an Acquiring Person as of the close of business on August 30, 2006 pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a) shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for any purpose of this Agreement on and after such date unless and until such Person, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall (A) be the Beneficial Owner of a percentage of Common Shares of the Company then outstanding in excess of the percentage of Common Shares of the Company Beneficially Owned by such Person and all Affiliates and Associates of such Person as of the close of business on August 30, 2006 (such Common Shares Beneficially Owned as of August 30, 2006, the “Threshold Shares”), or (B) cease to Beneficially Own any of the Threshold Shares and thereafter become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares of the Company, or (C) cease to Beneficially Own 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; and (iii) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), has become such inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such Person would no longer be an Acquiring Person as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), then such Person shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for any purposes of this Agreement.”
