INTRODUCTION
This
Amendment No. 9 (this “
Amendment
”) to the Transaction
Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “
SEC
”)
pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “
Exchange Act
”), and Rule 13e-3
thereunder, by Corel Holdings, L.P., Vector Capital Partners II International,
Ltd., Amish Mehta and Alexander Slusky (collectively, the “
Filing Persons
”).
This
Amendment amends and supplements the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed
under cover of Schedule TO on October 28, 2009 (as amended and/or supplemented,
the “
Transaction
Statement
”) by Corel Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership
(the “
Purchaser
”). The
Transaction Statement relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all
outstanding common shares, no par value (the “
Shares
”), of Corel
Corporation, a Canadian corporation (the “
Company
”), not owned by
Purchaser and its affiliates, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase, dated November 16, 2009
(together with the exhibits and annexes thereto and as amended and supplemented
from time to time, the “
Offer
to Purchase
”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together
with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “
Offer
”). Pursuant to the
Offer, the Purchaser acquired 7,618,467 Shares of the Company.
This
Amendment relates to the consolidation (the “
Consolidation
”) contemplated
by the attached Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on December 29,
2009 (the “
Definitive Proxy
Statement
”). The Consolidation is the second and final step in
the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Company.
As of the effective time of the
Consolidation, Shares will be consolidated on the basis of every 871,589 Shares
into one (1) new Share (“
New Common
Share
”).
Shareholders who
do not hold sufficient Shares to qualify for the issuance of New Common Shares
pursuant to the Consolidation will receive cash consideration equal to the
consideration paid under the Offer, or U.S. $4.00, in respect of each
pre-Consolidation Share held in lieu of any fractional shares otherwise issuable
as a result of the Consolidation. The Purchaser is the only
shareholder that holds a sufficient number of shares to receive New Common
Shares pursuant to the Consolidation.
Concurrently
with the filing of this Amendment, the Company is filing with the SEC the
Definitive Proxy Statement relating to the special meeting of the shareholders
of the Company, at which shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider
and vote upon the proposal to approve the special resolution authorizing the
Consolidation.
The
information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, including all
appendices thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference, and the
responses to each Item in this Amendment are qualified in their entirety by the
information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement and the appendices
thereto. This Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended by replacing each
reference to “Proxy Statement” as set forth herein with the term “Definitive
Proxy Statement”.
All
information contained in this Amendment concerning any Filing Person has been
provided by such Filing Person and no Filing Person takes responsibility for the
accuracy of any information not supplied by such Filing Person.
Item
16: Exhibits.
The information included in and
incorporated by reference into Item 16 of the Schedule 13E-3 is amended and
supplemented with the following:
|
|
|
(a)(i)(ix)
|
|
The
Definitive Proxy Statement of Corel Corporation, as filed with the SEC on
