This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended, which together with any exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute this “Schedule TO”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2021 by Ambience Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambience Parent, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Parent”). The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), of At Home Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“At Home”), at a price of $37.00 per share net to the seller in cash without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, if any upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated June 22, 2021 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, together with any amendments or supplements, collectively constitute the “Offer”.
All the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of this Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Amendment. This Amendment should be read together with the Schedule TO.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 1 through 9, Item 11, and Item 12, as reflected below.
Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.
Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, as amended, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below:
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 22, 2021. The Depositary has indicated that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 39,002,798 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 59.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of the Expiration Date.
The number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfies the Minimum Condition. As all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived, Purchaser has irrevocably accepted for payment all such Shares validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the Offer and will promptly pay for all such Shares in accordance with the Offer.
As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser acquired a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of At Home pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Accordingly, on July 23, 2021, the Purchaser expects to effect the Merger under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, pursuant to which the Purchaser will merge with and into At Home, with At Home surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase by Purchaser in the Offer and certain Shares specified in the Merger Agreement (including rollover shares and Shares as to which the holder thereof has properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL), will be converted automatically into the right to receive $37.00 in cash, net to the holder of such Share in cash, without interest, but subject to any applicable withholding taxes (which is the same amount per Share paid in the Offer).
Following the Merger, all Shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Exchange Act.
The press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(I) and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 12.
Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:
