The Regulatory Condition has been satisfied. See Section 16 – “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals.” The Offer also is subject to other conditions described in this Offer to Purchase. See Section 15 – “Certain Conditions of the Offer.” O’Charley’s has advised Parent that, on February 5, 2012, Evercore Group L.L.C. (“Evercore”), which was retained by the Company’s Board of Directors to act as O’Charley’s financial advisor in connection with the potential sale of O’Charley’s, rendered its oral opinion to the Company’s Board of Directors, subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of that date and based upon and subject to assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Evercore as set forth in that opinion, the $9.85 per Share to be received by holders of Shares other than Parent, Purchaser and any of their respective affiliates in the Offer and the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, was fair from a financial point of view to those holders. The full text of the written opinion of Evercore, dated as of February 5, 2012, which sets forth, among other things, assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by Evercore in rendering that opinion, is attached as an annex to O’Charley’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will be mailed to O’Charley’s shareholders with this Offer to Purchase. Evercore’s opinion was directed to the Company’s Board of Directors and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the $9.85 per Share to be received by the holders of Shares other than Parent, Purchaser and any of their respective affiliates in the Offer and the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the date of the opinion. Evercore’s opinion does not address any other aspect of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and does not constitute a recommendation to O’Charley’s Board of Directors or to any other person in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including to you or any other O’Charley’s shareholder as to whether you or such shareholder should tender any Shares pursuant to the Offer. Evercore’s opinion does not address the relative merits of the transactions contemplated by the Merger as compared to other business or financial strategies that might be available to O’Charley’s, nor does it address the underlying business decision of O’Charley’s to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. All statements included in this Offer to Purchase summarizing the contents of the Evercore opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion attached as an annex to the Schedule 14D-9. Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of the shareholders of O’Charley’s at a shareholders meeting convened for that purpose in accordance with the TBCA, if required by the TBCA. Under Tennessee law, the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting of O’Charley’s shareholders is required to approve the Merger Agreement. If we purchase Shares in the Offer, we will have sufficient voting power to approve the Merger without the affirmative vote of any other shareholder of O’Charley’s. In addition, Tennessee law provides that if a corporation owns at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of each class and series of a subsidiary corporation, the corporation holding such stock may merge such subsidiary into itself, itself into such subsidiary or two or more such subsidiaries with and into each other, without any action or vote on the part of the shareholders of such other corporation. Under the Merger Agreement, if, after the expiration of the Offer or the expiration of the subsequent offering period, if any, the Purchaser directly or indirectly owns at least 90% of the outstanding Shares (including Shares issued pursuant to the Top-Up Option and Shares tendered in any Table of Contents subsequent offering period), Parent, the Purchaser and O’Charley’s are required to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the acceptance for payment of the Shares by us pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer (the “Acceptance Time”), without a meeting of the holders of Shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the TBCA.
