Page 8 Item 2. Identity and Background Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof: Residuary Trust u/w/o Natalie I. Koether is an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The trust was organized under the will of the late Natalie I. Koether to hold certain assets of Mrs. Koether, including Pure World Shares. The books and records of the trust are maintained at 211 Pennbrook Road, Far Hills, New Jersey 07931. During the past five years the trust has not been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it 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. Emerald Partners is a general partnership formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The partnership's principal business is investing in securities and its principal office is located at 211 Pennbrook Road, Far Hills, New Jersey 07931. During the past five years the partnership has not been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it 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 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof: Pure World, Inc. (the "Company"), Naturex, S.A, a societe anonyme organized under the laws of the French Republic (the "Parent") and Naturex Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the "Purchaser"), executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of June 6, 2005, pursuant to which Purchaser is required to commence a cash tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Pure World Shares") at a price per share of $4.30 net to the seller in cash (the "Offer"), which is subject to a number of conditions. Following a successful completion of the Offer, and subject to certain conditions, the Purchaser is required by the Merger Agreement to effect a merger between the Purchaser and the Company (the "Merger"), pursuant to which each remaining issued and outstanding Pure World Share, other than those held by Parent or Purchaser or any stockholders who are entitled to and have properly exercised their appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law, would be converted into the right to receive in cash the same $4.30 price per share that will be offered in the Offer. Concurrently with, and as a condition to, the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered into a stockholder agreement dated as of June 6, 2005 (the "Stockholder Agreement") with Parent and Purchaser. Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, each Reporting Person has agreed (a) to validly tender such person's Pure World Shares into the Offer as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than the tenth business day following the Page 9 commencement of the Offer, and (b) not to withdraw any Pure World Shares so tendered unless the Offer is terminated or has expired without Purchaser purchasing all Pure World Shares validly tendered in the Offer. The Purchaser's obligation to accept for payment and pay for the Pure World Shares tendered in the Offer pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement remains subject to all the terms and conditions of the Offer set forth in the Merger Agreement. Additionally, under the Stockholder Agreement, each Reporting Person has agreed that, prior to the termination of the Stockholder Agreement, such Stockholder shall not: (a) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, pledge or otherwise dispose or, or consent to any of the foregoing ("Transfer"), any or all of its Pure World Shares, or any right or interest therein, (b) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer, (c) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of its Pure World Shares, (d) deposit any of its Pure World Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of its Pure World Shares, (e) exercise or give notice of an intent to exercise, any options unless the Pure World Shares issuable thereunder become subject to the Stockholder Agreement upon exercise, or (f) take any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Stockholder's obligations under the Stockholder Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Stockholder Agreement. Each Stockholder also has agreed that, if any action of the Reporting Persons as stockholders of the Company is required or requested by Parent or Purchaser between the date of the Stockholder Agreement and the consummation of the Offer with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Stockholder Agreement and the Merger Agreement, each Reporting Person shall vote all Pure World Shares held of record by such Reporting Person (or take such other similar action) in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Stockholder Agreement and the Merger Agreement. In addition to the foregoing covenants and agreements, each Stockholder made customary representations and warranties to the Parent and Purchaser, including representations and warranties regarding the number of Pure World Shares and/or options of the Company owned beneficially and of record by such Stockholder. The Stockholder Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties thereunder shall terminate immediately upon the earlier of (i) the acceptance for payment by Purchaser of the Pure World Shares pursuant to the Offer and (ii) termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. A copy of the Stockholder Agreement is attached to this Amendment No. 19 as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. Except as disclosed above, none of the Reporting Persons have any plans or proposals that relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
