EX-99.(A)(1)(XI) 2 d68709_ex99-a1xi.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit (a)(1)(xi) CONTACT: Michael Shapiro Senior Vice President Chief Financial Officer Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. (732) 294-2270 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAKER HOLDINGS CORP. AND FOODARAMA ANNOUNCE RESULTS OF TENDER OFFER AND APPROVAL OF SHARE EXCHANGE. Freehold, N.J., July 20, 2006 - Saker Holdings Corp. ("Saker Holdings") and Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. (ASE-FSM) (the "Company" or "Foodarama") today announced the results of Saker Holdings' tender offer for all of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock not owned by a purchaser group led by Richard J. Saker, President and CEO of the Company, Joseph J. Saker, Chairman of the Company, and six other members of the Saker family. Based upon a preliminary tally by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the tender offer, 416,666 shares were validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) in the tender offer prior to the offer's expiration at 12:00 midnight on July 19, 2006. These shares, together with shares held by members of the purchaser group, represent approximately 91% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Foodarama also announced that at a special meeting of its shareholders held on July 19, 2006, shareholders approved the share exchange between Foodarama and its wholly owned subsidiary, FSM-Delaware, Inc., which had been proposed in connection with the tender offer. As a result of these events, Saker Holdings expects that all conditions to the purchase of shares in the tender offer will soon be satisfied, and it plans to close the financing it has arranged to purchase shares in the tender offer and proceed to accept and promptly pay for the shares tendered for purchase. Immediately after the tender offer is completed, Foodarama will implement the share exchange and each outstanding share of Foodarama common stock will be exchanged for one share of common stock of FSM-Delaware, Inc. The share exchange will be immediately followed by the merger of FSM-Delaware, Inc. with and into Saker Holdings Corp. Shareholders of Foodarama who did not tender shares in the tender offer, other than the members of the purchaser group, will receive $53 per share in cash for the shares of FSM-Delaware, Inc. they receive in the share exchange, subject to their right to seek appraisal rights under Delaware law. These transactions will result in Foodarama becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Saker Holdings Corp. and ceasing to be a publicly traded company. The complete terms and conditions of the going private transaction are set forth in an Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal, Proxy Statement/Prospectus and other related materials that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed to Foodarama shareholders.
