The filing of this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule TO shall not be construed
as an admission by Advanta Corp. that the offer (as defined below) constitutes
an issuer tender offer for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder.
This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule TO filed by Advanta Corp. (the "Company") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 9, 2001, as amended by Amendment No. 1
filed on August 31, 2001, Amendment No. 2 filed on August 31, 2001, and
Amendment No. 3 filed on September 28, 2001, relating to an offer by the Company
to repurchase "Eligible AMIP Shares" from "eligible employees." "Eligible AMIP
Shares" are shares of restricted stock granted under the Advanta Management
Incentive Program (the "AMIP Program") that:
- are attributable to an eligible employee's 2001 target bonus (the
"2001 target bonus"); and
- have a weighted average value, as calculated for purposes of
determining the original number of shares granted (the "weighted
average value"), that is greater than $10.625 per share.
An "eligible employee" refers to any person: (1) who holds Eligible AMIP Shares,
at least some of which shares were granted before February 28, 2001; and (2)
who, as of the expiration of this offer, is employed by us and has not received
a notice of termination that is effective prior to the expiration of this offer.
The Company made this offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions
described in the Offer to Repurchase dated August 9, 2001, as amended and
restated on September 28, 2001 (the "Offer to Repurchase") and the related
Letter of Transmittal, as amended (which together, as they may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, constitute the "offer"). All references in the
Schedule TO to the "Offer to Repurchase" shall mean the Offer to Repurchase as
amended and restated.
ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The offer expired at midnight on Friday, October 5, 2001, and Advanta
has accepted the tender, pursuant to the offer, of 114,867 Eligible AMIP Shares,
representing approximately 95.4% of the Eligible AMIP Shares, in exchange for
New Options to purchase an aggregate of 232,236 shares of Class B Common Stock
and contingent rights to receive the Cash Payment as described in the Offer to
Repurchase.
