INTRODUCTION
 
This Amendment No. 3 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed by dick clark productions, inc., a Delaware corporation and the issuer of the equity securities that are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction (the “Company”), Richard W. Clark, Karen W. Clark, Olive Enterprises, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Clark (“Olive”, together with Mr. Clark and Mrs. Clark, the “Principal Stockholders”), Francis C. La Maina, DCPI Investco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DCPI Investco”), and DCPI Mergerco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DCPI Mergerco”), Capital Communications CDPQ Inc., a Quebec corporation (“Capital Communications”), Mosaic Media Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mosaic”), Jules Haimovitz and Henry Winterstern (DCPI Investco, DCPI Mergerco, Capital Communications, Mosaic and Messrs. Haimovitz and Winterstern are collectively referred to herein as the “CDP/Mosaic Group”).
 
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 13, 2002 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Capital Communications, DCPI Investco, DCPI Mergerco and the Company, DCPI Mergerco will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company surviving (the “Surviving Corporation”). In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (except for shares of Common Stock held by stockholders who exercise their appraisal rights), and class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Company will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $14.50 in cash, without interest (except for each share of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock held by the Principal Stockholders which will be converted into the right to receive $12.50 in cash, without interest) (the “Merger Consideration”), except as described below.
 
DCPI Investco, the direct holder of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of DCPI Mergerco, has entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2002, with each of Capital Communications, Mosaic and Messrs. Clark, La Maina, Haimovitz and Winterstern. The Subscription Agreement provides that, immediately prior to the Merger, each of Capital Communications, Mosaic and Messrs. Clark, La Maina, Haimovitz and Winterstern will purchase at a price per share of $1.00, a certain number of shares of common stock of DCPI Investco, par value $0.01 per share. A portion of the Class A Common Stock held by Messrs. Clark and La Maina will be contributed to DCPI Investco for common stock of DCPI Investco. Mr. Clark will receive $12.50 of common stock of DCPI Investco for each share of Class A Common Stock contributed to DCPI Investco and Mr. La Maina will receive $14.50 of common stock of DCPI Investco for each share of Class A Common Stock contributed to DCPI Investco. As a result, immediately after the Merger has occurred, it is contemplated that Messrs. Clark and La Maina will together hold approximately 22.3% of the outstanding shares of common stock of DCPI Investco.
 
The Company has filed a definitive proxy statement pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company were given notice of the Merger. The information set forth in the proxy statement, including all annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and the responses to each item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the proxy statement and the annexes thereto.

1


 
Item 15 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
ITEM 15. Additional Information.
 
(b) Other Material Information.
 
(i) Commitment letters have been obtained from (x) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, (y) MCG Capital Corporation and (z) Capital Communications relating to the financing of a portion of the Merger Consideration. The actual terms of the financing to be provided are subject to the terms of mutually satisfactory documentation and further negotiation, but are expected to be substantially on the terms set forth in the commitment letters. The commitment letters have been filed as Exhibits (b)(1), (b)(2) and (b)(3), respectively.
 
(ii) It is now expected that, prior to the closing of the Merger, the Subscription Agreement will be amended to add a trust formed by Mr. Winterstern. Mr. Winterstern’s trust is expected to acquire approximately 200,000 of the shares of DCPI Investco that would have been purchased by Mr. Winterstern at the same price per share and on other terms that are the same as those that would have been applicable to Mr. Winterstern.
 
(iii) It is now expected that, prior to the closing of the Merger, the Subscription Agreement will be amended to add two new entities that are not affiliated with any of the filing persons of this Schedule 13E-3. The two new investor entities are expected to acquire approximately 4,000,000 of the shares of DCPI Investco that would have been purchased by Mosaic and approximately 100,000 of the shares of DCPI Investco that would have been purchased by Mr. Winterstern at the same price per share and on other terms that are the same as those that would have been applicable to Mosaic and Mr. Winterstern. It is also expected that the two new investor entities will be lenders under the bridge financing described in Exhibit (b)(3).
 
(iv) As described in the proxy statement in the section entitled “Litigation Pertaining to the Merger,” on February 15, 2002, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles on behalf of Walter Valenti and an alleged class of unaffiliated stockholders of the Company. The complaint named the Company and its directors as defendants and alleged that the defendants engaged in acts of self-dealing and violated fiduciary duties of “care, loyalty, candor and independence” owed to the unaffiliated stockholders in connection with the Merger. The complaint further alleged that the $14.50 price per share was inadequate. The complaint sought, among other things, injunctive relief blocking the consummation of the Merger, or if it is consummated, rescinding the Merger; imposition of a constructive trust, on behalf of the plaintiff, upon any benefits received by defendants as a result of their allegedly wrongful conduct; and costs and disbursements of the action, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees in unspecified amounts.
 
The defendants made a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to plead a cause of action, and three directors who are not residents of California moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. Thereafter, the plaintiff amended his complaint, rendering defendants’ motion to dismiss moot. The amended complaint did not add any substantive claims, and the time for defendants to respond to the new complaint has not expired.
 
On June 28, 2002, the parties to the action executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) setting forth the material terms of an agreement in principle to settle the action. Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the defendants have agreed to certain additional disclosures made in the definitive proxy statement for the Merger, which disclosures constitute consideration for the settlement. The MOU provides that the defendants will pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of plaintiff’s counsel, but does not otherwise require the defendants to make any settlement payment to the plaintiff or the purported class. The settlement is subject to the drafting of a formal settlement agreement and approval of the presiding court, on notice to stockholders.

(v) On July 18, 2002, a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders was held. At the special meeting, the Company’s stockholders adopted a resolution approving the Merger Agreement.
 
Item 16 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Re: Acquisition Financing for dick clark productions, inc. (Commitment Letter)
 
 
 
Dear Sirs:
 
You have advised J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMSI”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Bank,” and together with JPMSI, “JPMorgan”) that: (i) Capital Communications CDPQ, Inc., Mosaic Media Group, Inc., Jules Haimovitz and Henry Winterstern have organized DCPI Investco, Inc. (the “Parent”) to acquire the capital stock of dick clark productions, inc. (“DCPI”) by merging the Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiary DCPI Mergerco, Inc. (“Mergerco”) with and into DCPI (the “Acquisition”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 13, 2002 among you, the Parent, Mergerco and DCPI; (ii) in connection with the Acquisition, you are arranging for (x) a subordinated term loan facility in the amount of $15,000,000 to be made available to DCPI by MCG Capital Corporation and (y) a subordinated loan facility as a bridge to the disposition of certain restaurant assets in the amount of approximately $6,500,000 to be made available to DCPI by one or more lenders; and (iii) in order to consummate the Acquisition, you will require a senior secured term loan facility of $20,000,000 in favor of DCPI and a senior secured revolving credit facility of $5,000,000 in favor of DCPI (together, the “Facility”).
 
You have requested that (a) JPMSI agree to structure and arrange and, at JMPSI’s option, syndicate, the Facility and (b) that the Bank commit to underwrite the entire Facility, and to serve as administrative agent for the Facility.
 
The proceeds of the term loan portion of the Facility will be used by DCPI to finance the Acquisition. The proceeds of the revolving loan portion of the Facility will


be used by DCPI to finance development and production of television programming and for other general corporate purposes.
 
We are pleased to advise you of the commitment of the Bank to act as administrative agent for the Facility and initially to underwrite the Facility, subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to herein and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”).
 
We are also pleased to advise you that JPMSI is willing to manage and structure the Facility and to act as exclusive advisor, lead arranger and bookrunner for the Facility.
 
At the request of JPMSI, you agree to actively assist JPMorgan in achieving a syndication which is satisfactory to JPMorgan. Such assistance shall include, among other things, (i) direct contact during the syndication between your senior management and advisors and senior management and advisors of DCPI and the proposed syndicate lenders, (ii) active participation by such senior management and advisors in the preparation of a syndication book and other marketing materials satisfactory to JPMorgan, (iii) participation in (and, at JPMorgan’s request, the hosting with JPMorgan of) one or more bank meetings with such senior management and advisors and (iv) if requested by JPMorgan, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships and the existing lending relationships of DCPI, if any. To assist JPMorgan in the syndication efforts, you agree promptly to provide, and to cause your advisors to provide, JPMorgan and the proposed syndicate lenders upon request with all reasonable information deemed necessary by JPMorgan, in its reasonable discretion, to successfully complete the syndication, including but not limited to all information, projections and valuations prepared by you, your advisors, any affiliate, advisors of any of your affiliates or on your or their behalf relating to DCPI and its subsidiaries or the transactions described herein.
 
It is understood and agreed that the Bank will act as sole and exclusive agent for the Facility, and that JPMSI will act as the sole and exclusive advisor, lead arranger and bookrunner for the Facility, and each will, in such capacities, perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles. You agree that no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than as agreed to between the Bank and you) will be paid in connection with the Facility unless you and we shall so agree. You also agree that to the extent any syndication prior to execution of definitive financing documentation results in the aggregate amount of commitments to the Facility by the Bank and by lenders other than the Bank in excess of the total amount of the Facility, then the Bank may reduce its commitment hereunder accordingly, to the extent such commitments have been issued directly to you. It is understood and agreed that JPMorgan will manage all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when JPMorgan shall accept their commitments, and further including any naming rights,

2


lender selection and the final allocations of the commitments and distribution of fees among the lenders.
 
As consideration for JPMorgan’s commitment hereunder and agreement to manage, structure and, at JPMSI’s option, syndicate the Facility, and JPMorgan’s work in connection with such a syndication, you agree, jointly and severally, to pay the Bank and JPMSI the fees and other consideration specified in the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter of even date herewith (the “Fee Letter”). Such fees and other consideration shall be payable as set forth in the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter and shall be paid in immediately available funds. Once paid, such fees and other consideration shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
 
The Bank’s commitment and JPMSI’s agreement to perform the services described herein are subject to the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive financing documentation with respect to the Facility in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Bank’s commitment hereunder and JPMSI’s agreement to perform the services described herein are also subject to (i) there not having occurred a material disruption of, or a material adverse change in, the financial, banking or capital markets which materially adversely affects the bank syndication market generally, (ii) any development or circumstance that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the business, operations, assets, property or condition (financial or otherwise) of you, DCPI and DCPI’s subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) the completion of, and JPMorgan’s satisfaction in all material respects with, JPMorgan’s due diligence investigation, (iv) our not becoming aware of any information or other matter (including any matter relating to financial models and underlying assumptions relating to the Projections (as defined below)) affecting you, DCPI, its subsidiaries or affiliates or the transactions contemplated hereby that in JPMorgan’s judgment is inconsistent in a material and adverse way with any information or other matter disclosed to us prior to the date hereof, (v) there not being any competing offering, placement or arrangement of any debt securities or bank financing by or on behalf of you or DCPI and its subsidiaries or any affiliate thereof (excluding the financings referenced in the first paragraph hereof) from the date hereof through the execution of definitive financing documentation in relation to the Facility and (vi) the other conditions set forth or referred to in the Term Sheet. The terms and conditions of JPMorgan’s commitment hereunder and of the Facility are not limited to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Term Sheet. Those matters which are not covered by or made clear under the provisions hereof and of the Term Sheet are subject to the approval and agreement of JPMorgan (it being understood that any terms and conditions reflecting such matters shall not be inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Term Sheet).
 
JPMorgan has reviewed certain information about DCPI and its subsidiaries which you have furnished to us. You agree to provide JPMorgan promptly upon request with all additional information deemed necessary by JPMorgan regarding DCPI and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to, information prepared by you or your advisors, or on your or their behalf. If JPMorgan’s continuing review of materials discloses information, or JPMorgan otherwise discovers information, not previously disclosed to it, or any information previously disclosed to JPMorgan proves to be

3


materially inaccurate at the time made, JPMorgan may, in its sole discretion, suggest alternative financing amounts or structures that ensure adequate protection for the Bank and, if the Facility is syndicated, the syndicate lenders, or withdraw its commitment hereunder.
 
You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all written information and data (excluding financial projections) concerning you or DCPI (collectively, the “Information”) which has been or is hereafter made available to JPMorgan by you or on your behalf will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) all financial projections concerning you, DCPI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Projections”) which are made available to JPMorgan by you or on your behalf, have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made (it being understood that the Projections are subject to material contingencies and assumptions, many of which are beyond DCPI’s control, and that actual results may differ materially from the Projections). If, subsequent to making any Information or Projections available to us, you become aware of any facts which would cause the foregoing representation to no longer be true, you will promptly so notify us. In extending its commitment relating to the Facility and arranging, structuring and working with you to syndicate the Facility, JPMorgan will be using and relying on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof. This paragraph shall be superseded by the representations and warranties contained in the definitive financing documentation for the Facility upon execution thereof.
 
By executing this letter agreement, you agree, jointly and severally: (i) to indemnify and hold harmless each of JPMorgan and the other lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this letter agreement, the Facility, or the loans or other extensions of credit under the Facility, the use of any proceeds of the loans, or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or the security given for the loans or otherwise concerning DCPI and its subsidiaries, whether or not any of such indemnified parties is a party thereto, and to reimburse each of such indemnified parties upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any indemnified party, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they arise or result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified party; (ii) to reimburse JPMorgan and its affiliates from time to time upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including expenses of JPMorgan’s due diligence investigation, syndication expenses, consultants’ fees and expenses, travel expenses and fees and disbursements of outside counsel) incurred in connection with the Facility and the preparation of any related documentation including this letter agreement, the Term Sheet, the Fee Letter, the definitive financing documentation for the Facility and the security arrangements in connection therewith or the administration, amendment,

4


modification or waiver thereof; and (iii) not to make any claim against any indemnified party for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law) in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by this letter agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and you hereby waive, release and agree not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in your favor. No such indemnified party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages arise or result from the willful misconduct (including, without limitation, disclosure in violation of confidentiality agreements) or gross negligence of such indemnified party. The provisions contained in this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect until definitive financing documentation shall have been executed and delivered and regardless of whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this commitment letter are consummated.
 
The foregoing agreement shall be in addition to any rights that JPMorgan or any other indemnified party may have at common law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any right to contribution.
 
If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any party or insufficient to hold it harmless as and to the extent contemplated by the preceding paragraphs, then you shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by you and your affiliates, on the one hand, and JPMorgan, the other indemnified parties and any other applicable indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of you and your affiliates and JPMorgan, the other indemnified parties and any other applicable indemnified party, as the case may be, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
 
You agree that this letter agreement, the Fee Letter and the Term Sheet are for your confidential use only and will not be disclosed by you to any person other than your shareholders and directors and your and your shareholders’ attorneys, accountants, tax consultants and other advisors and as required by law or as compelled by legal process, including, without limitation, by any governmental agency or regulatory body (and then only to the extent permitted by applicable law, after giving JPMorgan prior notice) and on a confidential basis, except that, following your acceptance and return hereof and of the Fee Letter, you may (i) disclose the same to DCPI and its advisors, (ii) make public disclosure of the existence and amount of the Bank’s commitment and the Bank’s undertakings hereunder, (iii) file a copy of this letter in any public record in which it is required by law to be filed and (iv) make such other public disclosures as are required by applicable law.
 
This commitment letter shall not be assignable by you without the prior written consent of JPMorgan (and any purported assignment without such consent shall

5


be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or to create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto and the indemnified persons. This letter agreement may not be amended or any provision hereof waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by you and JPMorgan. This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this letter agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This letter agreement and the Fee Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among us with respect to the Facility and set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto.
