The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offerors and are as of March 13, 2014, the most recent practicable date.
(2) The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2014, issued August 30, 2013, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.00012880.

This Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) is filed by (i) Minerals Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MTI”), and (ii) MA Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI. This Amendment amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) and relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (each a “Share”), of AMCOL International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“AMCOL” or the “Company”), at a price of $45.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 21, 2014 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

 

ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by:

Amending and supplementing the second to last paragraph of Section 15—“Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase by adding the following new sentence at the end of the paragraph:

“Such rights to extend, terminate and/or modify the Offer pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement are described above in Section 1—“Terms of the Offer,” Section 12—“The Transaction Agreements—The Merger Agreement” and this Section 15—“Conditions of the Offer.””

Amending and restating in its entirety the last sentence in Section 15—“Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase to read as follows:

“The failure by MTI or the Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time, in each case subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.”

Amending and restating in its entirety the fourth paragraph of the section entitled “Antitrust—United States” in Section 16 (“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals”) of the Offer to Purchase to read as follows:

“Each of MTI and AMCOL filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division in connection with the Offer on March 25, 2014.”

Amending and restating in its entirety the section entitled “Antitrust—Other Jurisdictions” in Section 16 (“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals”) of the Offer to Purchase to read as follows:

“Other Jurisdictions:

Based on a review of the information currently available relating to the countries and businesses in which MTI and AMCOL are engaged, MTI and the Purchaser believe that mandatory antitrust merger control notification filings should also be made in Germany and Poland with the respective national antitrust authorities of these countries (the Federal Cartel Office (the “FCO”) in Germany and the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (the “OCCP”) in Poland. Authorizations by the relevant merger control authorities in Germany, Poland and Turkey are conditions to the Offer in the Merger Agreement. The parties have determined that the transaction does not need to be notified to the Turkish merger control authority.

All notifications are required to be submitted pre-closing of the Merger.

Under German law, the FCO has one month to review the application from the date of a complete notification. The FCO may take an additional three months to further investigate the merits of the acquisition. The parties filed their application with the FCO on March 31, 2014.

Under Polish law, the OCCP has two months to review the application from the date of a complete notification. The parties filed their application with the OCCP on April 4, 2014.

In any case, the relevant merger control authorities may give their authorization before the end of the waiting periods as described above.

MTI and the Purchaser cannot be certain that a challenge to the Offer and the Merger on antitrust grounds will not be made, or, if such challenge is made, what the result will be.”
