Re: Notice of Adjustment of Conversion Rate of the Senior Subordinated
Convertible Notes Due 2035
To the Holders of our Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes Due 2035:
Reference is made to the indenture, dated as of March 15, 2005, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 21, 2007 (the “Indenture”), by and between Nash-Finch Company (the “Company”), as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), relating to the Company’s Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes Due 2035 (the “Notes”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
On each of April 25, 2011, July 18, 2011, November 7, 2011, February 28, 2012, April 23, 2012 and July 16, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a Common Stock dividend of $0.18 (collectively, the “New Dividends”). On an aggregated basis, the New Dividends have triggered a requirement under the Indenture that the Company adjust the Conversion Rate of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(5) of the Indenture.
Pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Company hereby gives notice to the holders of the Notes that the Conversion Rate at which shares of Common Stock will be delivered upon conversion will be adjusted to 9.7224 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The increased Conversion Rate was calculated for each of the New Dividends by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the most recent New Dividend, by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which was equal to the Current Market Price on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which was equal to the Current Market Price on such record date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the Excess Dividend Amount and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date.
Pursuant to Section 4.09(b) of the Indenture, no adjustment of the Conversion Rate was required unless such adjustment resulted in an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments that would be required to be made but for Section 4.09(b) were carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
The attached table outlines the calculation of the Conversion Rate for each of the New Dividends.
