CUSIP NO. 19421W100   SCHEDULE 13D   Page 9 of 15

 

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the entities or persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the past five years, been convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

The source of funds for the purchases of securities was the working capital of Blum LP’s limited partnerships and the partnership for which Blum GP IV LP serves as the sole general partner.

In addition, it is anticipated that the funding for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below) will consist of a combination of (i) equity financing in the form of cash to be contributed by the Reporting Persons, Golden Gate (as defined below) and Wolverine (as defined below), (ii) equity financing in the form of Rollover Shares (as defined below) to be transferred to Parent by certain of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) and (iii) debt financing to be incurred by parties other than the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

Merger Agreement

On May 1, 2012, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WBG - PSS Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), WBG - PSS Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, with respect to certain provisions therein, Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (“Wolverine”). Parent and Merger Sub are directly or indirectly owned by the Reporting Persons, Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc. (“Golden Gate”) and Wolverine.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer and the Issuer will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares), will be converted automatically into the right to receive $21.75 in cash, without interest. Completion of the Merger is subject to the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, approval by the Issuer’s stockholders and the receipt of applicable antitrust approvals.


CUSIP NO. 19421W100   SCHEDULE 13D   Page 10 of 15

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Issuer and Parent, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Issuer will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $44 million and/or reimburse Parent expenses up to $12.5 million (which reimbursement shall reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, any termination fee subsequently payable by the Issuer), and Parent will be required to pay the Issuer a reverse termination fee of $84 million (the “Parent Termination Fee”) and/or reimburse certain Issuer expenses.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into an agreement with Wolverine and a subsidiary of Wolverine pursuant to which Parent will transfer or cause to be transferred to a subsidiary of Wolverine certain assets comprising the Collective Brands Performance + Lifestyle Group business of the Issuer (the “PLG Sale”). The completion of the PLG Sale is conditioned on the concurrent completion of the Merger.

Voting Undertakings

On May 1, 2012, certain affiliates of the Reporting Persons and the Issuer entered into Voting Undertakings pursuant to which such affiliates of the Reporting Persons agreed to vote the Common Stock owned by such parties as of the date thereof in favor of the adoption of the Merger and to waive any appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law in connection with the Merger.

Equity Commitment Letters

On May 1, 2012, Blum Strategic IV and Golden Gate Capital Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Golden Gate Opportunity Fund”) each entered into an Equity Commitment Letter with Parent (the “Equity Commitment Letters”) setting forth the terms and conditions upon which each of Blum Strategic IV and Golden Gate Capital Opportunity Fund has committed to, and/or to cause one or more its respective affiliates or co-investors to, capitalize Parent at or prior to the effective time of the Merger with an equity contribution in an amount up to an aggregate of $550 million (less an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock contributed to Parent immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Rollover Shares”) multiplied by $21.75, which is the amount of the per share consideration payable in the Merger) in order to consummate the Merger. The obligations of Blum Strategic IV under its Equity Commitment Letter are subject to (a) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the obligations of Parent to consummate the Merger, (b) the contemplated debt financing having been funded (or the sources thereof having confirmed that they are ready, willing and able to fund the debt financing if the financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letters is funded at the closing of the Merger), (c) the simultaneous funding of Golden Gate Opportunity Fund’s equity commitment and (d) the simultaneous closing of the PLG Sale. The obligations of Blum Strategic IV under its Equity Commitment Letter expire upon the earliest to occur of (i) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the funding of Blum Strategic IV’s obligations at the closing of the Merger and (iii) the assertion by the Company or any of its affiliates of its right to enforce Blum Strategic IV’s obligations with respect to the Parent Termination Fee under the Limited Guarantee (as defined below). The Equity Commitment Letters contain other customary terms and conditions. The Issuer is a third party beneficiary under the Equity Commitment Letters for purposes of specifically enforcing the terms and provisions thereunder under certain circumstances.

Limited Guarantee

On May 1, 2012, Blum Strategic IV and the Issuer entered into a Limited Guarantee (the “Limited Guarantee”) pursuant to which Blum Strategic IV agreed to provide a guarantee of its applicable percentage of the Parent Termination Fee.

Interim Agreement

On May 1, 2012, Parent, Merger Sub, Wolverine, Golden Gate Opportunity Fund and its affiliated investment funds and Blum Strategic IV and its affiliated investment funds entered into an Interim Agreement (the “Interim Agreement”) setting forth the terms and conditions governing certain aspects of the relationship among the Sponsors, Wolverine and Parent with respect to, among other things, the funding of and consummation of the Merger and the PLG Sale.

Sponsors Agreement

On May 1, 2012, Blum LP and its affiliated investment funds and Golden Gate and its affiliated investment funds (collectively, the “Sponsors”) entered into a Sponsors Agreement (the “Sponsors Agreement”) setting forth the terms and conditions governing certain aspects of the relationship between the Sponsors with respect to, among other things, the funding of and consummation of the Merger and the PLG Sale.


CUSIP NO. 19421W100   SCHEDULE 13D   Page 11 of 15

 

The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the Voting Undertakings, the Limited Guarantee, the Interim Agreement and the Sponsors Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits B, C, D, E and F, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Sponsors also expect to enter into additional agreements prior to the completion of the Merger and the PLG Sale relating to their joint ownership of Parent following the completion of the Merger and the PLG Sale.

Other than as described in this Item 4, and except as otherwise disclosed herein or in the Merger Agreement, the Voting Undertakings, the Limited Guarantee, the Interim Agreement or the Sponsors Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons confirms that it does not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person(s), or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that any of the Reporting Persons will take any of the actions set forth above.

The information required by Item 4 not otherwise provided herein is set forth in Item 3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a), (b) According to the Issuer’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2012, there were 60,789,565 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 1, 2012. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock: (i) 1,210,581 shares of Common Stock held by Blum LP and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner, which represents 2.0% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (ii) 2,142,788 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP IV, which serves as general partner of Blum GP IV LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic IV, which represents 3.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum LP, and Blum GP IV. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members of a group, in which case the group would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 3,353,369 shares of the Common Stock, which is 5.5% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and members of Blum GP IV, and Blum GP IV LP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum GP IV or Blum GP IV LP.

As a result of the matters described in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons and Golden Gate may collectively be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. As a consequence, each Reporting Person and Golden Gate may be deemed to beneficially own all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each other Reporting Person and Golden Gate. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, as of May 1, 2012, Golden Gate beneficially owned 364,634 shares of Common Stock. Neither Blum nor Golden Gate has entered into any agreement or understanding that gives the other party the right to acquire, vote or dispose of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other party.

CUSIP NO. 19421W100   SCHEDULE 13D   Page 13 of 15

 

(c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons have made the following transactions in the Common Stock:

On March 30, 2012, the Reporting Persons distributed, on a pro rata basis, 276,387 shares of Common Stock to a limited partner in one of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner and 2,792 shares to Blum LP in a liquidating distribution.

On April 2, 2012, the Reporting Persons distributed, on a pro rata basis, 2,792 shares to the limited partners of Blum LP.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The disclosure provided in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D amended hereby is updated to include the following additional disclosure:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 6. Other than the matters disclosed above in response to Item 4 and in this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons is party to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
