More Definitions of Qualifying Tender Offer
Qualifying Tender Offer means a tender offer or exchange offer that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors determine to be at a fair price and otherwise in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. EXERCISE As stated above, until the Distribution Date the Rights are not exercisable. However, in the event that any person or group or affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, and subject to the Company's right to redeem the Rights, each holder of a Right (other than an Acquiring Person), will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise a number of one one-thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a share of Preferred Stock determined by dividing the Purchase Price (subject to adjustment) by 50% of the current market price of the Common Stock on the date a person becomes an Acquiring Person. Because of the nature of the voting, dividend, and liquidation rights of the Preferred Stock, the value of each one one-thousandth (1/1,000th) interest in a share of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one share of Common Stock. It is therefore anticipated (although there can be no assurance) that the value of the Preferred Stock purchased upon exercise of the Rights will be approximately twice the exercise price paid. Following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the preceding two paragraphs any Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will immediately become null and void. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to shareholders or to the Company, shareholders may recognize taxable income upon the occurrence of subsequent events--for example, upon the Rights becoming exercisable with respect to an acquiror's stock, whether or not exercised. Holders of the Rights should consult with their tax advisors in the event any such subsequent event occurs. The Rights will expire on May 15, 2007 (the "Final Expiration Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company, as described below. Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.
