BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFER; CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE OFFER Sample Clauses

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFER; CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE OFFER. On January 15, 1998, Telesoft completed the sale of its GoodNet subsidiary, an Arizona-based internet service provider, to WinStar Communications Inc. for $3.5 million in cash and 479,387 WinStar restricted common shares. Substantially all of such WinStar shares were sold in 1998 resulting in net cash proceeds to Telesoft of approximately $13.7 million. Telesoft has explored ways in which to deploy such excess cash and enhance stockholder value, including by making investments in its existing business, acquiring complementary or new businesses or by distributing cash to stockholders in the form of dividends or through repurchases of shares. During 1999, Telesoft invested significantly in its core business and expects to continue to invest in its software development initiatives. However, Telesoft's management believes that its available cash is still in excess of its reasonably foreseeable need for cash for research and development purposes. Telesoft's management has established strategic and financial criteria that potential acquisitions must meet for consideration. To date, Telesoft's management has been unable to identify any potential acquisition candidates meeting such criteria. As a result of the foregoing, Telesoft's management determined to recommend to the Board of Directors that excess cash be used to repurchase shares of its common stock including the shares owned by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Telesoft's Chairman and retiring Chief Executive Officer and President, and from Telesoft's other stockholders. On February 2, 2000, Xxxxxxxx agreed to purchase from Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx's Chairman and retiring Chief Executive Officer and President, 293,750 shares, constituting all of Xx. Xxxxxx'x shares, at the earlier of (1) the time Telesoft is deemed to have accepted for payment (and therefore purchased) shares in the offer and (2) March 31, 2000. The purchase price for such shares will be $7.25, the average of the high and low purchase prices in the offer. The Board of Directors agreed to repurchase Xx. Xxxxxx'x shares in connection with Xx. Xxxxxx'x retirement as Chief Executive Officer and President of Telesoft. The Board of Directors believes that repurchase of Xx. Xxxxxx'x shares will eliminate a potentially significant overhang with respect to the shares and the potentially adverse effects thereof on the trading of the shares and that such repurchase is fair to and in the best interests of Telesoft's other stockholders. Xx. Xxxxxx did not take part ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFER; CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE OFFER. Designs, Inc. believes that its shares continue to be undervalued in the public market, and that the offer is consistent with Design's Inc.'s long-term corporate strategy of seeking to increase stockholder value. Design, Inc. believes it has adequate sources of capital, including presently anticipated borrowing capacity under its bank credit facility, to complete the shares repurchase and pursue business opportunities. The offer provides stockholders who are considering a sale of all or a portion of their shares the opportunity to determine the price or prices (not greater than $3.00 nor less than $2.20 per share) at which they are willing to sell their shares and, if any of such shares are purchased pursuant to the offer, to sell those shares for cash to Designs, Inc. without the usual costs associated with a market sale. The offer gives stockholders an opportunity to sell their shares on potentially more favorable terms than would otherwise be available. Designs, Inc. believes that for the past two years there has been limited liquidity in the marketplace for its stock and small purchases or sales can cause significant fluctuations in the stock price. The offer will permit stockholders who want to sell their stock to do so in a more liquid and stable market. The offer would also allow Odd Lot Owners whose shares are purchased pursuant to the offer to avoid both the payment of brokerage commissions and any applicable odd lot discounts payable on sales of odd lots on a securities exchange. To the extent the purchase of shares in the offer results in a reduction in the number of stockholders of record, the costs to Designs, Inc. for services to stockholders should be reduced. Stockholders who do not tender their shares pursuant to the offer and stockholders who otherwise retain an equity interest in Designs, Inc. as a result of a partial tender of shares or a proration pursuant to Section 1 of this Offer to Purchase will continue to be owners of Designs, Inc. with the attendant risks and rewards associated with owning the equity securities of Designs, Inc. Stockholders who determine not to accept the offer will realize a proportionate increase in their relative equity interest in Designs, Inc. and, thus, in Designs, Inc.'s earnings and assets, subject to any risks resulting from Designs, Inc.'s purchase of shares and its ability to issue additional equity securities in the future. The offer may affect Designs, Inc.'s ability to qualify for pooling-of-intere...
