(“Perry Ellis,” or the “Company”), a Florida corporation and the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Perry Ellis common stock”), that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (ii) Feldenkreis Holdings LLC (“Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company; (iii) GF Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; (iv) George Feldenkreis; (v) Oscar Feldenkreis; (vi) Fanny Hanono; (vii) the George Feldenkreis Revocable Trust UAD 12/23/13; (viii) the Oscar Feldenkreis Revocable Trust UAD 05/06/11; (ix) the Fanny Hanono Revocable Trust UAD 07/06/11; (x) the Erica Feldenkreis 2012 Irrevocable Trust UAD 10/17/12; (xi) the Jennifer Feldenkreis 2012 Irrevocable Trust UAD 10/17/12; and (xii) the Stephanie Feldenkreis 2012 Irrevocable Trust UAD 10/17/12. Filing Persons (iv) through (xii) are collectively referred to herein as the “Rollover Investors.”

 

This Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) under the Exchange Act to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of this Transaction Statement. Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 13E-3 remains unchanged. This Final Amendment is being filed to reflect certain updates as reflected below.

 

 

 

 

Item 15.Additional Information

 

(c)        Other Material Information. The information set forth in response to Item 1011(c) of Regulation M-A is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On October 18, 2018, at a special meeting of Perry Ellis shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), Perry Ellis’ shareholders voted to (i) adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 15, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, and (ii) approve, by a non-binding advisory vote, certain items compensation that are based on or otherwise related to the Merger (as defined below) and may become payable to certain named executive officers of the Company under existing agreements with the Company. The Merger Agreement was approved by (1) the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of the shares of Perry Ellis common stock entitled to vote thereon outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting and (2) the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of the shares of Perry Ellis common stock entitled to vote thereon outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting that were not directly or indirectly owned by the Rollover Investors, any other officers or directors of the Company or any other person having any equity interest in, or right to acquire any equity interest in, Merger Sub or any person of which Merger Sub is a direct or indirect subsidiary.

 

On October 22, 2018, Perry Ellis filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Perry Ellis (the “Merger”), with Perry Ellis continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Merger, Perry Ellis became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Perry Ellis common stock, other than as provided below, was converted into the right to receive $27.50 in cash (the “per share merger consideration”), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. The following shares of Perry Ellis common stock were not converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration in connection with the Merger: (i) shares of Perry Ellis common stock owned by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) shares of Perry Ellis common stock owned by Parent and its subsidiaries, including such shares contributed to Parent by each Rollover Investor pursuant to the applicable rollover commitment letter under which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, such Rollover Investor committed to contribute to Parent the amount of shares of Perry Ellis common stock set forth therein, and (iii) shares of Perry Ellis common stock whose holders did not vote in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement and have demanded and perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Act. 

 

As a result of the Merger, Perry Ellis common stock has ceased to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) and became eligible for delisting from NASDAQ and termination of registration under the Exchange Act.  Perry Ellis has requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with respect to the delisting of the Perry Ellis common stock from NASDAQ.  Perry Ellis intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 to terminate or suspend its reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
